Why I do both Coaching & Healing work
Major transitions can put us in fight-or-flight mode
Clients undergoing significant transitions may experience worry, anxiety and stress. This activates "fight or flight" mode where the brain can become focused on threat detection, and decisions may become impulsive and fear-based.
When people are stressed, they become less wise.
Ideally, we want to operate in a brain state where we can think clearly, and make solid decisions in a more balanced way.
Having seen how much individuals in stress struggle with the side effects (e.g. poor sleep, worry, fear, overwhelm, confusion and health issues), I decided to integrate my healing and coaching work.
Access Bars and Reconnective Healing Bars sessions are deeply restorative and proven to prompt the kind of brain state that helps individuals heal and make better decisions.
This is consistent with my whole-person approach to working with clients.
