Welcome!!
Why hire a life coach? Because change is uncomfortable and it can be challenging to weed through the sea of options for healing.
We can forge a positive, loving, flexible path forward.
Transformational coaching is
different from traditional/transactional coaching.
Anytime we delve into who we are and seek deeper meaning, we have gone beyond transactional coaching.
There are two main components to transformation: broadening knowledge of self /situation and shifting at a core level which will involve both action and living in new states of being.
A coach is an educated witness, space holder, guide, who can provide on-going, accessible support and feedback so that you can experience a solid transformational journey.
Soul Light Studio is a space to help you explore internal work, and work through iterations of what may be illuminated as you go.
Relationship with self and others is the legacy we all leave. Whether it is healing or connecting dots or forging a new bond, interpersonal skills are under-rated and not part of any formal education. In all coaching topics, there is usually a connective and relational component that runs through all of them.

Trauma Recovery
Trauma caused by abuse comes in many forms. It can be hard to even recognize what is happening.
​
You are NOT at fault for abuse. We will define abusive behaviors and beliefs you may have about how you are treated, and how the abusive person's beliefs can manifests as feelings and behaviors in you.
There is also a great deal of betrayal involved in intimate partner violence and it does NOT have to be physical to be violent.
Fortunately, there is new approaches to trauma healing that are systemic (body, mind and soul) and long-term.​ There is an awakening, a reinvesting in self, and a rebuilding process.
​
You may be overwhelmed, hurting constantly, feel so alone. But, you can be free of it and you deserve so much more!!!
Deconstruction
Transformation
It's a really fancy word for tearing down a belief system that has injured you and building a healthy framework of your choosing. It can be disorienting to be in a position where this is necessary.
​
Toxic systems can look like a legalistic denomination, a dysfunctional family, a destructive relationship, or even challenging a value system within yourself. Were you taught to comply and keep your mouth shut at all costs? Were solutions for your issues elusive or did they just not work? Were you forbidden to seek help outside specific parameters or not go outside the church? Were you labeled the problem for expressing normal emotions to hurtful things? Was there a lack of accountability for the people who did hurt you?
​
You can gain new clarity and vision to usher in peace, wholeness and healthful living.
​
​
Not every mistake or bad choice is a karmic lesson. Sometimes we are targeted and it can trip us up, change our trajectory, make us feel lost.
​
Whether you have lost your way from a destructive relationship or because you are not feeling fulfillment in life, or you never knew what direction to go in- you can find your way, your path, your destiny!
​
Transformation is a term highly misapplied. This concept is actually radical newness in you, which is most successfully a guided and longer process than the popular buzz application of "transforming."
​
Transformation is usually the last part of healing to come. But, the most exciting and beautiful and deepest work you will do.

Conflict Solutions
Because we are all autonomous individuals, we will disagree with one another. How do we navigate conflict? What is the point of it? Are we trying to connect and understand or are we trying to win? One is relationally preserving and the other is destructive.
​
We all grow up with different flavors of conflict resolution based on what was modeled for us. And keeping the peace at all costs is too high a personal price to pay. Diffusing or recognizing when it isn't a healthy exchange and boundaries need to be set are all aspects of disagreement. Sometimes, we have to have those uncomfortable conversations, which doesn't even mean we are disagreeing or arguing! Most of the time, it brings us closer in the afterward.
​
What ideas and modeling do you bring to the table? How do you start and maintain a perspective of love for the person you aren't seeing eye to eye with?
​
Let's deepen our listening skills, comprehending and understanding different perspectives and learning how to move beyond "agreeing to disagree."
Nutrition
Have you been medically advised to start a specific type of diet but don't know where to start? Do you struggle staring at the myriad of supplement choices on the shelves? Are you or someone you live with a very picky eater? Are you about to be a new mama and want to breastfeed? Do you have some nursing challenges?
Family nutrition is so foundational and uniting. Not everyone grew up with Martha Stuart-eqsue mothers in the kitchen. In today's mad world, you can still nourish your whole family, even with special dietary needs. Helping children develop a joyful relationship with healthful foods is highly possible!
​
Body image, what it means to nourish yourself, healthy supplemention, balanced nutrition, feeding a family, breastfeeding, gluten and dairy free, are areas I can help you with!
Parenting
Parenting is one of the hardest and most honorable callings we will ever answer. It starts before conception. Have you considered what to do before you even get pregnant?
​
You get to decide your parenting style. How you parent contributes to your child's success in life and that is no simple responsibility! This becoming can actually heal your own inner child, too which just increases your parental compassion.
Topics will include preparing for parenthood, pregnancy and birth, feeding your child, baby care, & child-rearing.
​
Have you considered homeschooling but don't feel "qualified" or are fearful your child will not be "socialized" enough? We can work through all your questions/concerns and put your vision into action!
