Private Coaching  & Professional Background

Concrete Tools to Create What You Really Want Telling our story puts our full attention on “the problem", which is a necessary part of any healing. Yet if our story is repeated over and over, it can keep us stuck--trapped in our negativity, sadness, perceived lack, anger, and fear, often attracting more of the same. That's why I use a straight-forward Client-Coach exchange using traditional and advanced tools to help you shift from experiencing a situation as a problem or a "lack" to actually feeling what strengths you already have.   Whether I'm hosting a private session, group or retreat, I address all aspects of each individual: mind, emotions, physical body, and spirit. This more integrative approach helps prodvide a solid foundation for greater fulfillment and joy in all areas of one's life. All parts of you are included in the process, so you enjoy greater balance, health, and wholeness.      After we agree what's most important to work on, sessions can include any of the following:   -  Confidential exchange to learn more about you, and instill trust and comfort working with me   -  Written and verbal exercises to affirm strengths, help pin-point obstacles, and clarify your goals   -  Guided visualizations and meditation to reduce anxiety and increase calm and clarity   -  Release techniques from the science of Energy Psychology, including the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT), Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and similar tools to free emotional distress, limiting thoughts, and even physical symptoms -  Home exercises to encourage your progress and continued success.    Within each session, you'll participate actively to release limiting emotions, practice empowering thoughts and behaviors, and celebrate your success. Soon it becomes natural to integrate these new feelings and behaviors, and really make them your own.      Professional Background & Education After graduating from Ohio Wesleyan in 1981 with a BA in English and Journalism, I spent 12 years in corporate business. Seeking work more in synch with my nature, I joined a team of social workers serving the Boston projects as a Social Worker’s Assistant. Shortly thereafter, I entered graduate school (Simmons College, Boston) and held two internships: one at an out-patient mental health center, and the other at Massachusetts General Hospital in Hematology/Oncology and Pediatric Intensive Care (PICU)--all challenging, but wonderfully maturing experiences. Soon after I received my graduate degree, I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and sought to expand my knowledge of human psychology (including what methods typically worked, and what did not). Intrigued by how our thoughts and emotions influence our physical bodies, I received extensive training in anatomy and movement. This inspired me to begin offering retreats for small groups, combining outdoor activity in exceptionally beautiful settings with indoor relaxation and self-exploration.   Moving to Maine in 2004, I received my Maine Social Work License (LMSW), and enjoyed a private counseling practice and retreat business with individuals eager to improve their lives. To further my understanding of how to ease distress more quickly and effectively, I sought additional training and certification in the field of Energy Psychology, focusing on primarily on the stress release techniques "EFT" and "TAT"--profoundly helpful for any and all clients.   Returning to Colorado this spring 2011, I now offer Life Coaching programs for individuals and couples nationwide via phone, Skype, and in person at my office in Loveland, CO. Please look for me on these coaching-specific sites: www.intenseexperiences.com/life-coaching.html, and www.noomii.com.     Confidentiality Confidentiality is an essential part of any healing relationship; it’s something I take very seriously. Working with me is an opportunity to express yourself freely while exploring new ideas and behaviors. I will not discuss your circumstances with any other party. (The only exception concerns matters of legality; i.e., suspected abuse or intent to harm yourself or others. I will inform you if I feel this exception applies.)

Honesty, especially with oneself, is essential to success in anything. As a wise person once said, “It is only when we have the courage to face things exactly as they are, without any self-deception, that a light will develop… by which the path to success may be recognized.”
