MINDFULNESS MENTORING
Mindfulness practice is a foundational practice for skillful living. As a Mentor for Banyan, I mentor diverse, small groups for people to reflect, connect, and deepen their practice while in community with others.
CLARITY
Setting clear and value-aligned Intentions is like setting the GPS for your life based on your strengths, passions, values, skills, aspirations, experiences, and personality.
In what direction are you pointing your busy life. Are you on autopilot or living in alignment, on purpose?
ACCOUNTABILITY
I support you in getting into and staying in alignment with what matters most, so that you can feel clear and grounded while navigating multiple responsibilities. Inner alignment is about shifting old ways of thinking; outer alignment is about taking action, cultivating habits with consistency.
MOTIVATION
It’s easy to get discouraged and distracted, especially when life is constantly shifting. As your partner, I become your confidential sounding board, collaborator and support, helping you stay motivated and encouraged while you navigate the stress, struggles, opportunities, and joys of modern life.
This 9 module, self-paced coaching program walks women in mid-life through a proven I.A.M. model that integrates ancient teachings and evidence-based practices to transform your mindset and create an action plan to live your best life. One $49 payment includes lifetime access to hours of video and related worksheets PLUS one 30 minute Q/A call with me.
