Why I Started Coaching
Wishes from the past are coming true
Prayers I forgot I made,
Liberate me slowly
Over the last three years, I’ve had the privilege to have a professional development coach support me through leadership decisions and challenge me to work toward the best version of myself. I’ve considered being a therapist in the past but could never get over how colonial and isolating therapy can be. Therapy has an inherent power dynamic where one person is the expert and the other is the client. While therapy is exceptionally important, I’ve found coaching to be helpful for me to practice living my values.
I know who I want to be as a leader and coaching helps me get there - slowly and surely. The answers are always within me and my own body - my coach has helped me to silence the noise and discover those truths.
Liberatory Coaching is a process that helps us become more aware of and fully embody who we are and who we are in the process of becoming. Think of this as helping you bridge the gap between who you are now and who you aspire to be. Since discovering coaching, I knew it was something I had the unique talent for.
After applying to the program and securing funding, I am so grateful to be working to receive my coaching certificate through the 9-month Coaching for Healing, Justice, and Liberation Program.
I have been transformed through coaching and all that I have learned so far. I hope to share the gift of coaching with my community. I am now at the point in my training where I can take on coaching partners. I am energized and excited for this step in the process. If you’re interested in starting coaching with me, there are two forms of coaching that you can consider.
Liberatory Life Coaching:
A space designed to help you make the shifts you desire in your relationship with yourself, your Creator, your friends, your family, your partner, and/or your community at large. This approach might be for you if you are feeling a general sense of “stuckness” or unease in parts of your life and relationships and would like a space to practice living more honestly, authentically, and courageously.
Liberatory Leadership Coaching:
A space designed to help you free yourself from the limiting, oppressive, capitalistic models of success and instead dream up a career path, a definition of ambition, and a form of leadership that better reflects your highest values and deepest desires. Your career is the central area in your life you’d like to focus our coaching on. This approach might be for you if you believe shifting how you work will facilitate a greater sense of ease and alignment in other parts of your life as well.
