A Presence-Centered Approach to Coaching

Presence is your inner resource for navigating complexity and living a fulfilling life.

Presence can be expressed through qualities like joy, compassion, kindness, love, truth, strength, clarity, and many more.
Coaching creates a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to experience and embody these qualities of Presence.
You'll discover greater clarity around your thought patterns and beliefs, develop greater ease working with emotions, and expand your access to the wisdom and intelligence of the body.
You'll deepen your relationship with yourself, with others, and the world.

Aletheia Integral Unfoldment

I primarily practice Aletheia Integral Unfoldment in my 1:1 coaching sessions. We work with awareness, emotion, and physical sensation in an integrated way. Coaching unveils qualities of Presence through a process that can feel like we’re meditating together. This co-meditation creates powerful possibilities for transformation.

A key principle in this way of working is to welcome everything, just as it is. We’re learning how to sit face-to-face with ourselves, by sitting face-to-face with each other. Doing this deep inner work in a relational way makes it easier to integrate into our lives.

We find ourselves being with a great paradox: We have no agenda to fix or change anything. And, by unconditionally welcoming what’s here now, we’re creating space for something new to unfold.

In the Aletheia method, we use a unique depths model that allows us to safely and dynamically welcome what’s arising with acceptance and compassion:

  • Depth of Parts - we work with our conditioned tendencies, reactivity, and defenses to find harmony and balance in our inner system. The Depth of Parts is inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Inner Relationship Focusing.

  • Depth of Process - using the felt sense and felt images, we attune to the wisdom of the body to expand our sense of relatedness and flow.

  • Depth of Presence & Absence - As we drop deeper, qualities of Presence become more available as an inner resource.

  • Depth of Nondual Presence - As we continue to let go, there is an interconnectedness with everyone and everything that is our deepest ground.

Joyful Practice

Your inner fire for practicing in between coaching sessions is what often accelerates significant shifts.
You’re always practicing something. So we’ll take a look at the practice container you’re playing in.
When practice feels meaningful and joyful, then we’re onto something wonderful.

Here are a few ways that coaching with me goes beyond what you may be used to:

  • A reflection tool to kick off our work.

  • A co-designed developmental goal. We take your goal seriously and also have the wisdom to recognize when it shifts.

  • Encouragement and structure for inquiring into a burning question that’s important in your life.

  • Meditation and somatic practices that support your goal.

  • Recommendations for relevant reading, videos, and learning opportunities.

  • Session notes that can be a springboard for journaling and deeper integration.

  • Email support.

Attuned to
Your Purpose

If inner work is essential to your life, you’ve come to the right place.

  • Duration: To allow the spaciousness for deep work, coaching sessions can be 60 or 75 minutes.

  • Frequency: I meet with most clients every 2 weeks. Some clients like to meet every week at the beginning.

  • Goals and Packages: Developmental goals and timelines range from 3-6 months to ongoing. You might be looking for one specific change, or maybe you’d like to work through a long-held challenge that touches many areas of your life. We’ll co-design a coaching package that is attuned to your purpose.
