Work with Me

Fun Fact: Six to nine months

That’s how long it takes you to create new neural pathways to change (say many brain scientists). Which means if you are trying to take a couple of inches off your waist, or get more organized, or be less emotionally reactive, it might be 6 months or so before you are totally in the clear.

But that’s a good thing! Because along the way you can bring something lovely into being.

You don’t have to throw yourself head-first into change. Really.
If you’ve ever taken the white-knuckled path to change, you know it’s paved with shoulds and musts, and ends in a roadblock.

I can show you a more scenic route.
When we work together, change may not happen overnight. But it will happen–and when it does, it tends to stick around a while. You’ll often start having breakthroughs from the very first session.

Basically, good stuff happens when we work together.

You might come to me with a specific health goal in mind—losing weight, feeling better, making more room for yourself.

Along the way, something super-cool tends to happen.

You end up cultivating all of the best parts of yourself—confidence, openness, flexibility, joy, resilience, courage, kindness, humility, forgiveness, and lightheartedness. You become a possibility-discoverer!

And you may just start feeling okay being yourself. Which is the best gift you could give anyone else.

For me, developing these qualities is the real reward of our work together.

Here are some more delights you can expect:

  • Look way better than your drivers license photo—even if it was taken 10 years ago
  • Find a safe space within your skin, even if you have a chronic condition like cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, cancer, and diabetes
  • Discover your own secret recipe to work-life balance (everyone’s got one)
  • Improve athletic performance and recover faster from those long Sunday training runs
  • Stop defaulting to packaged food every time you go grocery shopping—know exactly what to get and how to prepare it
  • Design a workout plan that doesn’t feel like work
  • Rebuild your energy and restore your body so it can heal more quickly
  • Create a flood of movement in your life—despite what look like crazy-big obstacles
  • Learn to gracefully say “no” to the things that drain your energy—so you have more room to say “yes” to the things that fill you up
  • Have more fun—I take fun-having very seriously

How It Works

Deluxe one-on-one treatment works like this:

  • We meet by phone twice a month for 60 minutes, and we email each other in between. You can email me anytime Monday through Friday, with guaranteed response within 24 hours. *If you are working on healthy eating or weight loss, I’ll ask you to email me a daily food journal..
  • If you live near Seattle, we can even meet in person. I’d like that.
  • If you decide to work with me, I require a 2-month minimum commitment—because your neurons need love, too. (But, don’t worry, I won’t hold you hostage if you’re ready to fly solo before our time is up.)

Total: $445 per month. To sum it up, this includes two 60 minute coaching sessions per month, the Basic Goodness pre-work kit, targeted homework assignments, and unlimited (M-F) email coaching.

NOTE:  I am booked through the middle of September 2010 To get on waiting list for a mid-September 2010 start, please fill out a contact form and specify you would like to be added to the waiting list. Not sure?  I’d be happy to chat with you first!  Please schedule your free 30 minute neuron dance-off, and we ‘ll find out if we’re a good fit.

30 minute 3-packs (For Basic Goodness grads who could use a little re-minding.)

Hey graduates! All that shiny new wiring you worked so hard to create is yours for life. What that means is you don’t have to focus so diligently anymore to get the results you want. Your new good-for-you way of being feels easier. It may even seem fairly automatic. (Congratulations!)

The maybe not-so-welcome news is the old pathways are still there too. (Yep, for life.) And sometimes the going gets tough, and woah, suddenly, you are blazing down that old road. There you are, eating flamin’ hot cheetos in front of the TV again.

Don’t lose heart–there’s a scientific explanation! But forget that, call for back-up!

Total: $175 for three 30 minute phone sessions. This includes helping you get back on the happy-track, pronto. (You’re welcome.)

During this initial phone call, I’ll treat you to a taste of what it will be like to work with me. We’ll get the neurons in your brain hopping in anticipation of new possibilities. We’ll also talk about your goals and where you’d like to go. And, if I think I can help you, we’ll discuss next steps.
