Life coaching employs individualized modalities to enhance your strengths and create a new life path in your personal and professional goals.  Similar to daily exercise, life coaching can benefit you long term if you are consistent in your efforts.

The biggest difference in coaching and counseling/therapy is typically in the mode of approach in how to guide you. 

Traditionally,  therapy concentrates on addressing specific problems that may require a look into emotional resolutions of past problems in order to move forward in life.  One could look at this service as helping you to restore yourself. Counseling focuses primarily on finding the emotional resolution until the client is ready to tackle another problem.

Life coaches look at creating a new life path to achieve certain goals. One could look at the service as helping you to reinvent yourself.  Life coaching focuses on the present moment and what to do next in order to fulfill your needs and desires.   

Simply put, therapy is more emotionally based, while coaching is more goal oriented. Prana Life Coaching is not a mental health service.

Typically, a coaching session lasts one hour.  During this time, we collaboratively work toward ascertaining your overall goals for each week and address how to effectively remove barriers.

We begin with a consultation that will assist in determining what your vision is.  A timeframe is assessed for what you need to accomplish your goals. We then set what is realistic and feasible for you before the coaching sessions begin. For most people, coaching sessions are three months or more. 

Following the consultation, I am better able to gauge whether I can help you obtain what you are looking for based upon the parameters of what you believe you need. 

My coaching approach is unique in that I combine my educational background in clinical mental health and community services. I apply this knowledge to my life coaching practice with integrating a spiritual & energetic component in pursuit of getting you to your goals. Using evidence based techniques that are both mindful and cognitive, we expand clients’ perspectives. This has shown to be what makes my approach effective. 

I keep clients motivated, focused, and positively guide them to stay on track of their passions as they obtain their goals. In my experience, I have found that people who are similarly looking to achieve success refer me to others.

I have worked with a diverse population of clients ranging from self-employed single mothers to corporate executives and CEOs running their own businesses. I am open to people from all walks of life, and respect everyone’s individual, cultural, & economic backgrounds.

Here at Prana Life Coaching we strive to have everyone reach their full potential. Nonetheless, we are aware that not everyone is a good fit for our methods and may require a different methodology. After a consultation, I will be better able to evaluate whether I can assist you.

If you are open to change, put in the work towards achieving your success, and remain consistent to your own progress, then the collaboration between us is likely to come to fruition.

The most successful and accomplished people in the world have all stated that they have benefited from working with a life coach.  Accordingly, just like you these people came from all walks of life and had different experiences. 

Prana Life Coaching does not subscribe to any religious order or denominational affiliation. Because of Prana’s unique system, even if you are not a spiritual person, our services can help shape how you tackle everyday life.

Similarly to how you would regard a gym membership, life coaching fees are customized to your needs and frequency of use to achieve your objectives. 

In all successful things, it depends upon the goal. After your first coaching consultation, we’ll be in a better position to ascertain your needs and objectives required for your specific plan of action.  

Life coaching sessions are typically one hour in duration as we meet once a week.  Based upon your needs, we will engage in the level of services that are appropriate for you. Typically, clients will utilize services for approximately 3 months or more.  

Prana offers meditative services called “Broken Buddha,” personal development coaching, and group enlightenment workshops.

Even though these benefits are established as stand-alone separate services, we encourage the meditation services to be utilized in conjunction with all the other systems.

During my travels in life, I have received various statues of Buddha from people as gifts. During a business trip, I stumbled upon an old shop. It housed a Buddha that I connected with from the moment my eyes caught a glimpse of it. Even though I had been gifted several statues of Buddha, I decided to purchase this particular one for myself. 

I packed the Buddha as carefully as I could, and secured it with as much cushioning as required to fit in my suitcase before departure.  Upon arrival back home, as I opened my luggage I discovered to my dismay that the ceramic Buddha had broken at the knee.  Despite all my best efforts I felt like I had failed in preserving something that felt important to me. 

After going through a period of being upset at the now damaged Buddha, I took a step back and recognized that it had the potential to become something more than when it was whole.  This inspired me to create things around the Buddha that I had never thought of before. Over time, a inspired sense of creativity overtook me to create a setting around the Buddha that accentuates its beauty.   

The experience gave me the message to create something new out of areas that appear to be broken. This applies to people like you and I. As humans we can heal, grow, and transform ourselves from our life experiences.

We strive to protect any and all confidential and private information that is divulged in the sessions. Whatever we discuss and you choose to share will not leave the confines of the service. Sessions are not video recorded. 

Unfortunately, I do not take insurance at this time.
