Therapy VS Coaching
Sowing Seeds of Potential
Therapy can be likened to tending to the soil, where the focus is on addressing and healing psychological distress or pathology. In contrast, transformational coaching can be compared to planting and nurturing seeds of potential in your well-tended soil. It is primarily action-oriented, empowering clients to excavate their potential and sow the seeds, much like cultivating a crop. During coaching sessions, a life coach utilizes various tools such as assessments, accountability measures, and skill-building exercises to guide clients in nurturing their growth and making tangible progress while working towards their potential.
Cultivating Growth and Transformation
My Coaching Framework
Welcome to a coaching journey rooted in the transformative and experiential wisdom of The Center for Transformational Presence. Like the steady work on a farm, my life coach approach fosters personal and professional growth, guiding individuals and organizations to realize their fullest potential.
I serve as your guide through deep listening, thoughtful inquiry, and grounded presence, helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom, purpose, and possibilities. Together, we'll navigate change and turn challenges into opportunities, creating a meaningful impact in your life, work, and society.
Three guiding questions—What wants to happen, Who is this asking me to be, and What is this asking me to do—are central to the Transformational Presence coaching model.
These simple questions illuminate the path toward self-discovery and purposeful action.
Sessions are offered both online and in-person equine-supported coaching in Virginia. Together, we'll embark on a journey of growth and transformation, cultivating the seeds of your potential into a bountiful way of being.
Individual - Group - Private
Coaching provides invaluable support, whether you're an individual seeking personal growth, a couple facing relationship challenges, a family striving for connection, or a corporate team aiming for peak performance.
- Individuals benefit by gaining clarity, direction, and confidence to achieve their goals.
- Couples enhance their connection, communication, and understanding.
- Families cultivate harmony, resilience, and mutual respect.
- Corporate groups improve teamwork, leadership, and productivity.
My experiential life coaching methods use a 'hands-on' approach to provide clients with immersive learning experiences tailored to their goals. By directly experiencing and experimenting with new behaviors, perspectives, and strategies, clients gain deeper insights and develop practical skills for immediate application in their lives and work.
Horse Supported Options
Integrating horses into coaching sessions provides a unique opportunity to engage in experiential activities that foster self-awareness, build trust, and facilitate personal growth.

Embracing Transformation: The Egg Metaphor
An egg's delicate, protective shell that holds promise and a place to grow for the life within. When the egg hatches, the chick knows he's a bird, but he doesn't know what kind of bird he is destined to be!
Cracking from the Inside: New Beginnings
When an egg cracks from the inside, it signals the beginning of life. Inside this shell, a new life forms and develops into a chick. Eventually, according to nature's timing, he grows too big for his shell, and the shell begins to put pressure on him. To survive, he is compelled to start pecking at his shell to break free. It's a struggle but a miraculous process. Even though it feels unknown and vulnerable, he steps out of the only way of being he has ever known.
And guess what! When he emerges, he doesn't realize he has wings!
Cracking from the Outside: The End of Possibility
Now consider the opposite scenario: an egg cracking from the outside. Suppose an external force puts pressure on the egg regardless of the chick's stage of development and ability to live outside of its shell. The pressure causes the shell to break. He was not ready to live outside of his shell; his wings did not develop, and he never felt the pressure of the shell signaling him to peck free and learn to fly. In this state, he is not viable.
What outside forces are interfering with your ability to use your wings?
Guidance for Transformation
As your coach, I offer guidance on recognizing and eliminating external pressures that hinder your growth. Together, we'll identify the signs coming from that place of light within you that are yearning to experience a new way of navigating this world.
Like a determined chick breaking free from its shell, you'll emerge, open-eyed and ready, your wings unfurled as a newly evolved being, prepared for what lies ahead.

What Wants to Happen?
What is this Asking Me to DO?

The Egg of Opportunity
Start by asking 'What Wants to Happen' instead of 'What SHOULD I DO?'
This subtle change shifts your thinking from goal-oriented to potential-oriented possibilities.
Working from a place of potential offers unlimited and sometimes even unimaginable outcomes!
