Life & Spiritual Coaching

help you to examine your deepest held values, and explore how you want to live more fully in tandem with them. Deana Barone, your coach, utilizes techniques from the Laser-focused Coaching method, the Life Purpose Institute workbook, as well as her experience as a meditation, Reiki, and Chakra Healing facilitator. 

Life Coaching:

This can encompass helping you to organize the nitty gritty of your life logistics, and supporting you in creating an action plan with SMART goals (Smart, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound goals.) Usually the process reveals the obstacles that might be hindering your progress, and you may also work on dissolving those blocks.

Spiritual Coaching: 

Clients who sign up for spiritual coaching aren't just interested in reaching external goals, but also in creating the space in themselves to be in contact with their environment, their life purpose, and others in their community. You do not have to have religion or believe in a divine entity to have a spiritual interest or nature. Various techniques such as guided imagery, meditations, and some derived from the Gestalt tradition can help to clarify those deepest-held needs and values.

If hearing the word "spiritual" freaks you out, it's understandable. The word is often associated with the intangible and the unmeasurable, and that can feel unsettling. But here's the thing: these techniques WORK. Something about using your non-conscious self, letting the planner/analyzer to rest a bit, and allowing information to flow differently does result in change. I've seen it so many times in clients, in friends, in utterly skeptical family, and in myself (also always skeptical.)

COACHING IS NOT THERAPY

Certain types of coaching can feel like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and therapists and coaches are both interested and involved in providing a safe environment in which their clients can grow. However, coaching does not dwell for long in the past, does not tackle significant mental illness and addictions, and is not a place to heal trauma. When a client shows a need for therapy, a referral to a licensed therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist will follow.

Usually, after we have a short conversation to clarify the logistics, a client will sign on for either a 6 or 12 session package, each which include an introductory session exploring and noting the issues at hand. 

When the 6 or 12 package comes to an end, client and coach can assess whether any new goals or issues should be explored for another series, This way, coaching will never (and should never) carry on infinitely -- if it does continue, it continues with the goals very clearly stated.

Single sessions can be purchased after a series is finished.

Before the first session, the client will receive a number of PDF fillable forms to send back -- when these are filled out, less time needs to be spent in session gathering the info.

Client and coach also sign a coaching agreement at the beginning of each series, detailing the agreed-upon price, conditions, etc.

Sessions are conducted over Zoom (or FaceTime), and the cancellation policy is detailed in the contract.
