Transformational Life Coaching

Get you Closer to Living the Life You Want, Today

Have you studied great sources of wisdom and worked through self-help book exercises but still feel like you are struggling and unsatisfied with your life?

Books and videos are great for opening our minds, for inspiring us, for helping us see things from a new perspective. Retreats are amazing for giving us time to rest (so needed these days), for learning and being inspired, for reconnecting or deepening our connection to our Self, and for experiencing a new way of being.

Coaching can
ease and quicken
the journey
toward
your vision of a life well lived.

This is why I created Retreat Finder, as a way to help fellow seekers like myself. And it has been such an honor to help so many people.

But what happens when you return to daily life? Where does the new awareness, new sense of relaxation and ease in life that you experienced on retreat go?

There seems to be a missing ingredient, something to make the experience stick.

Often the impact of books, videos and retreats is like a flash in the pan - simply not strong enough to really cook the meal. The tricky part is in maintaining the inspiration and actually living from the new perspective. These wonderful resources get us focused in the right direction, but we are the ones who have to actually walk the walk.

What is the sticky ingredient that allows us to truly improve our lives? True change happens through ongoing support - working with someone as you take the inspiration from a retreat or new wisdom from a book and integrate it into your daily life.

Coaching can help you:

be truly present to what matters to you
take charge of your inner dialog, stay grounded and healthy
feel truly at home in your Self
realize your unique way to bring good into the world and thrive while doing it
be truly free: free from habits, fear, anger

START TODAY!

When you find inner peace, you move the world towards peace.

Why use Life Coaching?

Growth and change inevitably includes struggle. Challenges arise as new ways of being and perceiving bump up to old ways of doing things, old ways of being with people, old ways of perceiving what is possible for ourselves and our lives. This is where coaching makes all the difference.

You can't see your blind spots.

You can't see your assumptions.

Your habits are invisible to you.

Your fears hide in your subconscious.

And your feelings just make a mess of everything.

A life coach helps to make visible the invisible. A coach will catch you as you fall in to old ways of being and give you instant feedback, will keep you moving forward by helping you to maintain your inspiration and motivation, will help you navigate your relationships when the changes you are creating in your life begin to impact the lives of others, and will keep you ‘woke’ and living in choice as you create a life that is truly worth living.

There is no 1,2,3 process to leading a happy life. Each of us is unique. Each of our experiences and ways of being are unique, each of the ways we get in our own way are unique. A life coach partners with you to ease and quicken the journey toward your vision of a life well lived.

This is how I coach. Not as a bubbly cheerleader, but as a partner who befriends the highest part of you as well as the part of you that you have kept hidden away from the light; and as an accountability partner who is also your enthusiastic advocate along the road to wholeness.

Why work with me?

I have always been a seeker, a questioner, looking for truth and how to live a better life, how to heal myself. I am an introvert who loves ideas. And I have lived with various levels of depression all of my life. In my twenties and thirties I sought to heal myself through investigating deeply into many Eastern spiritualities through reading, in depth classes, and retreats with masters. I was striving to fix myself through listening to the wisdom that has remained alive through the ages. I seeped my mind in interactions with different ways of thinking about and living in the world. That wisdom opened my mind to new perceptions and I did change; my suffering diminished and I began to move through the world in a different way. But struggle and depression continued to be my primary experience, and deepened with a series of health crises that I now understand to be Environmental Illness aka Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

Read Ali's Bio

I mention all of this because it was not until I began working through my inquiry directly with another person that my life truly began to change for the better. There is a magic that happens when working with a trained person through the act of engaging in dialog; hearing responses from another person to my own thoughts, perceptions and interpretations of wisdom teachings; being directly challenged; and exploring through questions tailored to evoke an opening in my perspective.

I just needed a bit of assistance in
getting out of my own way
and
accountability to actually show up for myself.

Through this process I moved from living in what ‘could be’ or ‘should be’ and dropped into living in what is; the present moment, the truth of the lived experience and all the possibility that exists in every moment (if we are brave enough to see it), and the truth of my own heart. I began to live in my authenticity. I just needed a bit of assistance in getting out of my own way and accountability to actually show up for myself.

This is why I became a certified professional life coach. I have experienced the power of coaching for myself and see that one-on-one or small group engagement is what is needed to move from just thinking about how things can be better to actually changing your life.

Who gets the most out of working with me?

If you are curious and open to new perspectives and possibilities

"Ali helped me unearth some things that are probably obvious from the outside, but weren't to me. She asked the right questions, and said: Whoa, let's back up and listen again to something you just said. Which is what I needed."

- Rachel, Atlanta, GA

"I have become more outgoing and seen the benefits of putting myself out there. I think I’ve overcome some fears of meeting new people and potentially failing in front of them (in terms of my creative work). Ali helped me hone in on what my real problems were and helped me develop plans to confront them and change things for the better."
