Frequently asked questions
Please define ‘spirituality’ - do you mean religion?
I consider religion and spirituality to be different things - related like cousins, maybe. Most of my clients don’t practice a formal religion, but have a sense that there is some kind of higher power. Your spirituality can be something as simple as feeling profoundly connected to nature, or feeling like a loving, higher power is guiding you. Clients who would benefit from working with me want to explore their spiritual beliefs and access their spirituality for answers and healing.
What is spiritual life coaching?
Working with a professional coach helps people achieve their goals faster and easier than if they were to go it alone. I am a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), specializing in spiritual life coaching. I’ve successfully completed several hours of training, coaching and mentoring in a program accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and use proven, powerful coaching techniques backed up with over 30 years of results. Coaching is great for people who need the structure of setting a goal, making a plan and committing to taking action in order to make progress. For clients who prefer a more free-flowing experience, check out my Spiritual Guidance service description.
With life coaching, you focus on your everyday challenges or your big life questions - you decide where we focus and what steps you’d like to take. The special magic in spiritual life coaching is that we integrate the power of your spirituality into the coaching session - which can make all the difference in the world!
With spiritual life coaching, you will likely find you are able to access powerful new insights and solutions you otherwise may have missed. And you decide how deeply into your spirituality we go. I will never impose my spiritual beliefs on you - I feel our spirituality is meant to be our own unique and intimate experience. The answers always come from you (and your higher power). We may do some guided exercises to help you connect to your highest heart wisdom within a coaching session. And I may share an intuitive hit occasionally, but only with your permission.
With all my services, you always get to choose whether anything I say or share resonates with you or not. I will never impose my beliefs on you. You are always in the driver’s seat.
My spiritual life coaching clients experience improved energy and wellness, more ease in their relationships, and greater meaning and love in their lives within one month of working with me. My clients usually feel peaceful and lighter after each coaching session. You will leave with renewed energy and a plan for moving forward.
What is crystal singing bowl sound healing?
Crystal singing bowls started being used as a healing tool in the 1990s. A crystal singing bowl sound healing session targets the specific frequency of each note and specific sound combinations to deliver customized healing - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
⭐Please note⭐: there are some health conditions for which sound healing is not advised. Please review potential contraindications before scheduling a sound healing session with me.
I’ve trained and am certified in crystal singing bowl sound healing. In private 1-1 sessions, we will customize the session to your specific healing objectives.
I use a set of pure quartz crystal, perfect pitch, 432hz singing bowls - tuned to the C major scale and aligned with the seven chakras. Many believe that music tuned to 432hz is ancient tuning, with some studies showing that people feel calmer, happier and more relaxed listening to 432hz music. Some researchers have found it can even help keep blood pressure and the heart rate stable.
What is spiritual guidance?
Spiritual Guidance sessions are loose, unstructured and flow where they need to go for the highest good. We’ll share our thoughts or intuitions in a free-flowing way. If you’d benefit from the structure of setting a goal, making a plan and committing to taking action in order to make progress, you’ll want to check out my Spiritual Coaching services instead.
In a Spiritual Guidance session, I’ll start with getting to know you, your hopes and dreams, your spiritual beliefs and practices, and any challenges you’re experiencing. From there we can dive deeper into any topics (either spiritual or regular life stuff) you’d like to explore. You may want to connect with your higher power and receive wisdom or messages within the session through guided exercises. I may share any messages or visions I’m getting from my spiritual team during or after the session.
With all my services, you always get to choose whether anything I say or share resonates with you or not. I will never impose my beliefs on you. You are always in the driver’s seat.
My Spiritual Guidance clients often receive powerful new insights, and feel a positive shift in their situation and improved mental, physical and spiritual well-being. The results experienced in Spiritual Guidance work will usually transcend many areas of your life.
What do you mean by ‘accessing your heart wisdom’?
I consider the heart to be a portal to higher wisdom from [insert name of whatever you call your spiritual connection here…for example, God, the Universe, Spirit, angels, your higher self, etc.]. I’ll help you connect through your heart and enter a peaceful place of deep knowledge and healing - where you turn down the volume of your mind, while turning up the volume of your heart’s wisdom. The mind and the heart both have something to offer, and life is smoother when they ride together. But I’ll help you put your heart in the driver’s seat and your mind can ride in back.
We have all the answers inside us. My proven techniques will help you to access your heart’s intelligence, and experience breakthrough insights, healing and profound peace and joy.
What should I expect before, during, and after my spiritual life coaching -OR- spiritual guidance session?
You’ll want to prepare for your session by making sure you have complete privacy, trying to eliminate any potential distractions, and being well-rested. Think about what issue(s) you might like to focus on in the session. Arrange a space where you can sit comfortably. Have a notebook or journal nearby so you can record any insights or actions you will take before our next session.
During a new client session, I’ll start by getting to know you, your hopes and dreams, your spiritual beliefs and any challenges you’re experiencing.
Spiritual Life Coaching
With Spiritual Life Coaching the answers always come from you (and your higher power). We may just talk and problem-solve, we may do some guided exercises to help you connect to your highest heart wisdom within a coaching session, or we may do both. I may share an intuitive hit occasionally within a coaching session, but only with your permission.
Spiritual Guidance
Spiritual Guidance sessions are much less structured than Spiritual Life Coaching. We will share our thoughts or intuitions in a free-flowing way. We may do meditations or other guided exercises to help you connect with your higher power within the session. And I may share any messages or visions I’m getting from my spiritual team during or after the session.
With all my services, you always get to choose whether anything I say or share resonates with you or not. I will never impose my beliefs on you. You are always in the driver’s seat.
After a spiritual coaching or spiritual guidance session, most of my clients say they feel peaceful, lighter, clearer, and have a new sense of direction. You may feel tired - but my clients say it’s a “good tired.” It’s important to drink a lot of water after your session, and listen to what your body needs.
What should I expect before, during, and after my crystal singing bowl sound healing session?
If your sound healing session is virtual, you’ll want to prepare by making sure you have complete privacy, trying to eliminate any potential distractions, and being well-rested. You’ll want to check out my guide so you can connect in a way that delivers the best sound quality experience. Connecting with a computer will give you the highest quality experience, but if you don’t have a computer, a mobile device or tablet with headphones or earbuds is still a high quality experience!
With in-person sound healing, clients lie on a padded mat with support for head, knees and tailbone or sit in a zero gravity recliner. Have a notebook or journal so you can record any insights after the session.
You’ll set a healing intention, and I’ll begin with a visualization to help you enter a deeply relaxed state. If this is an individual or couples session, I’ll do an energetic assessment by either scanning your body by sounding the bowl above it (if in-person) or by listening closely to you and tapping my intuition. I’ll spend a good amount of time playing the beautiful crystal singing bowls in sequences that are customized to your healing, or the focus area of a group sound healing session.
The vast majority of my clients sense things in their body during their session, and experience healing immediately and sometimes lasting for several days. Some people experience beautiful images during the sound healing. Some people release emotions or stuck energy. Although discomfort is unusual, it is always very temporary. After a sound healing session, almost everyone describes feeling extremely peaceful and some may feel tired afterwards. It’s important to drink a lot of water after doing any energy work, and listen to what your body needs.
Can I do either in-person or virtual sessions for all your services?
Clients have experienced excellent results when working with me virtually for all my services. The default when you schedule an appointment is a virtual session using Zoom. I have special sound equipment that maintains the crystal bowl sound integrity when done virtually. Whereas in-person sound healing let’s me conduct a body scan assessment with the bowl, I still can do an energetic assessment with virtual sound healings by listening closely to the client and tapping into my intuition.
If you’re in central Connecticut and prefer an in-person appointment, please let me know during your initial free consultation., or by emailing me.
If Zoom isn’t a convenient option for virtual appointments, we can explore other applications. If clients strongly prefer no video, they can turn off their video or we can hold our session by phone.
How much does it cost to work with you?
