What a Beautiful Day to Fly

Aug 18, 2021

It was 1999.  I was in Austin for my first EMDR Basic Training.  Without thinking my hand flew up when the trainer (Andrew Leeds?) asked for a volunteer the first day.  That one session with a follow up the next day changed my life.

Up until that weekend flying had generated deep fear and severe somatic experiences. But after the two EMDR sessions, fear dissipated. I walked away with the Positive Cognition What a beautiful day to fly and a body that was ready to fly!

As a psychotherapist my specialty became EMDR with trauma as the focus.  As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant I traveled around the world working with clients.  It always seemed a beautiful day to fly!

One Christmas Eve night as I came back from the Psych Unit after seeing clients for the third time and my Mom asked, “Is this truly the life you want to live?”  I realized, it wasn’t.

I left my well established psychotherapy practice of 20+ years to become a full time credentialed coach.  I have never looked back.

Six years ago I created The Mindfulness Coaching School for professionals who are ready to make a change in their careers and lifestyles.  The School is fully accredited through the International Coach Federation.

Ready to make a change?

Right Speech is not only something you can take into your coaching practice but it’s something you can take into your personal life as well. These skills have already been extremely helpful in my everyday life from encounters with family to encounters with strangers and everything in between. You won’t regret taking it, I promise!

I fell in love with somatic coaching. I never thought I could actually talk to my body. A completely new world opened up for me personally, as I am sure will be the case also for my clients. I now fully understand as I have experienced it that somatic coaching is the only really holistic way to get to core of the challenges and to the goals that are completely aligned with ourselves.
