Parenting, partnership & personhood
As a coach, my work is about creating and holding a space for people. To land and arrive. To set down the loads they carry. To unpack their heartache and pain points and untangle life's knots. To decouple the fears, fantasies, projections, and illusions - about themselves, their lives and their children - from the facts, the reality, the truth, their truth, about who they are and what matters to them. To quiet their saboteurs. To make room for their dreams and desires. To ask the questions and compel the action that moves them in the direction of what they want most and where they feel most free.
My coaching practice is built on the belief that my clients are creative, resourceful, and whole. As a coach, I help people to see themselves through that same lens. We often get caught in a cycle of overachieving, rushing, scrambling, distraction, and burnout. We work so hard and give so much, often without coming from a grounded and connected place. Attempting to control uncertainty and what is outside of us in order to find meaning, validation, satisfaction and balance is neither sustainable nor effective. Clients feel grounded, aligned, and empowered when they connect wholeheartedly and meaningfully to their work, their families, and themselves. Coaching offers clients a tangible reminder that we find our way in the world through both opposition and resonance.
“As a new mother and a woman struggling to find her identity in her new role, Abby helped me sort through the complexities of this transition. She offers invaluable perspective, kindness, warmth, and encouragement. Abby is the life coach that I would like to have by my side as a grounding force through every transition in my life.”
THIS LIFE IS YOURS
We do not have to be swept up in the tsunami of modern life, victims of our circumstances, martyrs with the people around us, or bystanders to our own lives as they frenetically pass us by.
Together, we acknowledge your past, take stock of your present, and point you in the direction of the future you want to design for yourself and your family.
Coaching evokes transformation. Change occurs when we shift our limiting beliefs, adjust our perspective, and live aligned with our values and purpose.
I am the captain who will call you into the game
asking you to show up, play all out, and leave your heart on the field.
WHO I COACH
I have coached people of all ages, from teenagers to millennials to baby boomers.
I have a passion for working with parents: expectant, new, and veteran. As an educator and parent myself, I am interested in supporting people in nurturing roles and professions.
People considering and questioning major life changes will find my approach to be active and collaborative.
My clients are people looking for a coaching experience that will empower them to create the life they desire.
HOW IT WORKS
I coach clients individually as well as in groups (couples, parent/child, etc.). Sessions occur three times a month and are conducted over the telephone. More information about packages and pricing available upon request.
I provide anyone interested in coaching with a complimentary thirty-minute sample session to experience coaching with me.
If, after our sample session, you decide to move forward in your work with me as your coach, we will design our partnership, set goals, and build the foundation for our work in our initial sixty minute "discovery session".
