Why Coaching?

Coaching with the right coach is life-giving and life-affirming. If you are here, it is probably because you’ve realized the best-kept secret: That we were never meant to go it alone. I’m convinced that the social culture that upholds the adage that we should be self-reliant or that we are weak and needy have different nervous systems, or find it not in their best interest for us to reach our potential, or at the least to suffer less with what’s between our ears.

In most cases what we can do with the right coach far surpasses what we can do on our own. My own experience being a client is that I learn much more about myself, am gentler with myself, and feel much more hope and empowered working with a coach than trying to tread water endlessly in my unhelpful thoughts, fears, and limiting beliefs. There is something different about working with a coach that allows you some space from the torturous spinning of the mind.

What is Coaching with me?

I would describe sessions as deep, wise, playful, creative, somatic, collaborative, and supportive. I believe my coaching is part of those who are doing work for the restoration of the lost feminine wisdom tradition. A tradition that brings balance to a harsh pushing and striving that often is hard on the body and mind and treacherous to the spirit and psyche. I believe good coaching balances our nervous systems and our actions by imbuing vital life force energy and well-being into the moment. It yields actions that honor our life force and help us learn to listen to our body, mind, and spirit for more intelligent and intentional design. I believe it also is the makings for restoring relationship balance and harmony as when our nervous systems know attunement we can bring that to challenging situations and find more listening and less separation.

I partner with you to provide 60-minute sessions where you are safe to show up exactly as who and where you are in all aspects of life and to be met with wide-open unbiased space for you to bring whatever you wish to be coached on. My role as your coach is to be present, open, curious, and to listen deeply, to follow the thread of what you are saying or not saying, to be mindful of the context of your unique life experience, including your cultural, social, gender, and familial background, and to be unassuming of what you might need, but rather to facilitate you finding the ways of approaching your life, desires or goals. I give you space for discovery and the opportunity to be heard and to be listened to in a way that allows you to hear yourself and to flesh out your ideas and solutions more tangibly. Most clients find it surprising that they know the path they want to take more than they think. I notice that coaching brings clients into contact with a power and a clarity that is hard to find by themselves, and as this is further supported they begin to grow new and stronger pathways to this power and clarity and they see their lives changing.

How do I Coach?

At the heart of my coaching is deep listening and following an intuitive thread of coherence that is finding you as you bring to light what is on your mind for exploration and discovery. Often hearing me reflect what I am hearing from you helps you hear yourself and become clearer about what are your perceived limitations and limited beliefs as well as ways forward.  I ask powerful and generative questions, and explore new kinds of scenarios and ways of thinking by leading you through creative exercises. Sometimes I may ask if you are open to hearing any intuition or hunches I may have to share that may come in the form of words, symbols. I may lead you to work out these for yourself by leading your through guided exercises depending on what the moment is calling for. In rarer moments I may offer to take off the coaching hat and provide some mentoring if there is an expertise I may offer that is helpful.

What are the Results of Coaching?

Results depend on you and your desire for taking those threads of clarity and working with them. It is possible that over time you may find yourself stronger and clearer in making decision and in being aware of unhelpful thinking. You may find yourself naturally more connected to your experience and more willing to adopt new patterns and habits. You may find yourself reaching your desired changes and solutions more effectively and organically and your nervous system shifting to less anxiety and overthinking and more of a shifted state of openness and curiosity with more supportive thinking to make new plans and nurture new patterns that are natural to your unique growth trajectory.

What I love about providing Coaching Sessions

I love that Coaching is for you. I love that it is your turn and time to take up space and to explore what matters most to you, and perhaps what is calling to you that you can no longer ignore. I love watching clients come alive with possibility and vibrance and connect to the mind, body, and spirit in a way that fosters a much more loving relationship with self, which radiates out to others. I love that the space I hold allows you to expand to new edges and possibilities, fostering courage and vulnerability that doesn’t overwhelm your nervous system but feels more like a long-lost friend who has been finding their way to you and this shows up as feelings of connection and well-being in the body, like a cat soaking in the sun. I love watching a client begin to hear themselves and flesh out their desires without anyone shooting them down, or taking over or dominating, and how I can hold the space of possibility. I love when intuition I offer gives strength. I love when rich imagery, symbols, metaphor or dreams hold new possibility like a Talisman. I love watching what happens when this vibrance for life and potential is held above ground, flooded with sunlight, and starts to sprout.

Here’s what clients have to say…

Brooke has an amazing ability to hold space for me. Her patience, empathy, and imagination set her apart. I always felt supported, and at the same time, her insightful questions led me to push my comfort zone. Her commitment helped me with my growth and her encouragement shed light on when I was at a loss. I like how she incorporates new skills into her coaching practice. I wholeheartedly recommend Brooke to anyone seeking a coach who walks alongside you.
