CRACKING OPEN POTENTIAL
“I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too.”
― Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret
Sometimes, we aren’t ready to see (or can’t perceive) the incredible resources we have within ourselves, and how they are the doorway to our personal greatness. I’ve got a knack for seeing people in their full potential – RIGHT NOW. One of my roles as a coach is to assist in helping individuals or groups to witness their own potential, and the resources they already have that are waiting to be fully activated.
I see you. Not just as you are right now, but as the biggest YOU you have the potential to be. I see you standing in all that potential right where you are at this moment. It’s all there, it’s already being tapped into – my job is help you to see how it is already happening, and facilitate your empowerment and supports while you experiment with the wings you didn’t know you had.
Like the quote above says, I help people figure their part out. I also help groups figure out who does what, why, how, and where.
Feeling some magnetism with me? Drop me a line. We can schedule a free get-to-know-each-other session where we'll talk about your needs, what coaching involves, and discuss rates. I believe support should be accessible, and am willing to co-create a financial plan that will not cause undue burden on the essentials of your life.
I see the best in everyone.
There is something else about me that is important to many of my coaching clients.
I grew up in the Worldwide Church of God, a cult/alternative religion whose practices and beliefs had a tremendous impact on my self-beliefs and interactions with the world. I went through many years of uncovering, unwrapping, naming, discarding and replacing the unhealthy, unhelpful, and in many cases outright harmful messages that were instilled in me through these experiences. I have first-hand experience and knowledge of the insidiousness of spiritual abuse (that can be present in both religious and secular contexts); the physical, sexual, and mental abuse that hides under the cloak of holiness; and the pressures to conform within a community where silence reigns.
Hurt people hurt people. And healed people heal others.
I am well along my healing journey, and continue to devote attention and effort to the deepening of this. It is an honour to accompany fellow former-WCG members or anyone who has emerged out of any other cult or spiritually abusive background to further their healing journey.
When you are fed up with being held back by the lingering legacy of your past, my work is to help you navigate out from under it and into a brighter, stronger, whole-er and healthier future.
Drop me a line, and discover you're not alone in many of your 'unique' challenges!
