Hiring a mindfulness coach is an important life decision. The right coach can help you uncover your limiting beliefs, establish goals that align with your true values and add deeper awareness and understanding of the people, challenges and experiences you face everyday. Knowing this, its essential to choose a coach with whom you trust, resonate and feel supported.
The following questionnaire will help you gain clarity on potential obstacles stopping you and give some insight into what you can ask your coach before making an investment.
Heart Centered You differentiates itself by providing both spiritual and scientific strategies built around action that retrain the brain toward new habits, beliefs and goals instead of providing a mere platform for talking about dissatisfaction. As a result, clients receive opportunities to actually practice techniques and new approaches to goals with support and accountability while, at the same time, crafting a mindfulness toolkit to use when it's time to move forward, independently.
Yes, at HCY I use various discovery and stress assessments to help craft the right programming for each client. I offer private meditations and 1:1 coaching that uses a consistent holistic approach, but allows for flexibility within each utilizing strategies and practices specific to client's goals and tendencies. Services range in investment level with payment plans available.
Heart Centered You follows a methodology of both spiritual and scientific teachings. Our ability to focus, instill self-confidence and form new habits are all neural muscles that need to be worked out, just like the body. When we ignore them, we run into neural dissonance (brain confusion) because our subconscious and conscious brain are misaligned. Priming the brain with mental rehearsal using mindfulness practices such as visualization creates neural cohesion (brain alignment) by enabling space to practice a life with new goals, habits and beliefs before we live it, thus normalizing the new unfamiliar patterns in a safe place and paving the way for change that sticks!
Deb Graduated with a BA in Sociology from UCSB, is a Spirit Junkie Masterclass graduate who studied under Gabrielle Bernstein and holds a Yoga Nidra certification specializing in writing and recording personalized meditations. Deb is a mother of two boys, happily divorced and an avid believer in holistic health. She has researched a host of mindfulness modalities throughout the years in navigating her own personal and professional life that have proved helpful and effective in navigativing her parenthood, depression, marital issues, and general overwhelm. Her life experience, passion for wellness and commitment to helping people find and live in their best self, shows through in the care and thought she puts into every program and every client partnership.
Deb understands that the word "therapy" can trigger different emotional responses. While Heart Centered You offers therapeudic practices that help people relax, manage stress, create new habits, etc, Deb is not a liscensed therapist and HCY does not diagnose, provide psychotherapy councelling or medical treatment of any kind. The private coaching, meditations and online programming are available as skill building tools helping clients live their best life, uncover their gifts, align goals with values and raise consciousness. It's an investment in the self that will pay dividends in all aspects of life!
7. Investing in a coach is a big deal. With all the other financial obligations I'm up against, why should this be a priority?
Investing in a coach is truly an investment in the SELF. Remember the old saying, "you can't pour from an empty cup"? If you don't continually fill your cup and invest in the opportunity to tune into what makes you your best self, your job, family, friendships, responsibilities all get the brunt of your overwhelm. Working with a mindfulness coach will awaken you to what you value and the gifts you have to share, giving you a compass to follow in decision making, boundary setting, goal achievement, time management and overall attitude toward life's ups and downs. It's not whether you can afford the investment…ask yourself, what will change if I don't? Can I afford NOT to make the investment?
No? I've got your back. Not only does HCY offer flexible payment plans and loyalty discounts for pre-payment in full and referrals, I also offer additional consultations specifically dedicated to fund finding. Clients can expect support in reviewing their daily spending, overall expenses, habits and financial story. Knowing your numbers and determining action steps toward prioritizing this investment will be your biggest asset in creating space in your budget!
