What is Coaching and How Can it Help Me?
If you’ve stumbled across this article, you’re probably wondering if coaching can help you improve your life. The short answer is yes.
Coaching is effectively expert guidance that gets you from where you are in life to where you want to be. Most people are not living their dream life and merely do just that, dream about it. Dream about the life they want and feel stuck or powerless in the fact that they don’t have it, living the same cycles day in and day out.
It can be daunting to think about how to tackle your dream life on your own. You might know exactly where you want to be or just have an idea. Trying to figure it all out can seem like an impossible task, especially when you actually have your day to day life to lead and every day stressors to deal with.
You can get so bogged down in your limiting beliefs and the stories that you tell yourself about why you can’t do it, the path becomes foggy and so you stay the same.
This is where the work of a coach can help you. A person who has been trained in certain ways of thinking or taking action that can help you close that gap.
Imagine Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit and the journey he embarked on. Gandalf was like his coach - but much more mysterious, and thankfully not all coaches have long gray beards.
Different Types of Coaching
Some people use coaching as others would use therapy to sort through the muckiness of life. Others use coaching to attack one particular goal such as changing career or gaining clarity around relationships or financial concerns.
I myself have used coaching to grow my fine jewellery company as well as tackle health concerns like stress and breast cancer. If it wasn’t for all the coaching I have had in my own life I wouldn’t have beaten cancer in the way I did.
Much as you have different types of therapy you also have different types of coaching. You can have coaching that uses NLP (neuro-linguistic programming); coaching that specifically helps business growth; relationship coaching and many other guises. There can be coaches you meet weekly, monthly or perhaps coaching done in groups.
I am a spiritual life coach and use tried and tested, spiritual and scientific practices to help my clients create their dream life. These practices are what I use every day to create my own dream life, so I know they work. And I don’t mean spells and chanting (unless that works for you). By spiritual I mean looking at ourselves as co-creators of our lives rather than living in cause and effect.
I have been through training by neuro-scientist Dr Joe Dispenza to learn techniques to help see my own desires manifest and continue to practice these every day. As a coach I want to share this knowledge with anybody who wants to hear it, so they too can create their dream life.

How can coaching help you?
Well, how do you want a coach to help you? Take your pick on the areas of your life you want to improve and do your research to find a coach that works in a way that is aligned with you.
Coaching in my opinion is invaluable and everybody should work with one. I can thank the coaches I have had in my own life, including and not limited to coaches trained by Tony Robbins, that every single day I live the best version of my life and I am becoming the best version of myself.
In order to live your day dream you have to become the person who lives that life. I don’t mean becoming somebody else, but just embodying who you actually are. We think our goals are so far away but with the right guidance and practices then it could literally be just around the corner. And once it happens, you’ll wonder what took you so long to get there.
