FAQs
In a nutshell, what is it that you do?
I work with motivated individuals who may be feeling stuck or overwhelmed and are ready to take life to the next level. I teach them how to gain inner peace by helping them reach their goals, increase happiness, reduce stress and fully live their life's purpose so that they can share their unique gifts with the world.
What is your background?
I worked in various roles in the mental health field for 10 years prior to becoming a coach. Positions included program coordination, depression research, community mental health education, and administration.
Highlights from my educational background include bachelor's degrees in psychology and Spanish, as well as a master's degree in public health with an emphasis on prevention and mental health. Additionally, I am a graduate of a certified coach program and have since continued to receive additional training from leading (and often internationally known) experts. I am a life-long learner, which ultimately benefits my clients! See "About Nancie" for more info.
After overcoming so many challenges and obstacles myself, I became a coach when I knew that I wanted to help people move forward, become unstuck, fulfill their dreams and live life with purpose. Coaching feels authentic to who I am and what I believe in. After experiencing anxiety throughout many different jobs and school programs, I feel that I have found the tools to fully live my life's passion and purpose, and therefore would like to help others do the same! I would love to help you take steps towards a life they love. Who doesn't want to be happier?
What is coaching?
Coaches help people to bridge the gap between what currently exists in one's life and where one would like to be. Coaches, therefore, help to identify wishes in order to support their clients in achieving their goals. Many clients experience great shifts during sessions. Coaches also can serve as an excellent accountability partner.
Who are your clients?
An ideal client is someone who is motivated, open-minded and ready to take steps to pursue his or her dreams. I have worked with a lot of creatives and people in service professions who want to dedicate their career to something that is not the corporate 9-5 type of job. I have helped my clients with a variety of situations that usually include both professional and personal goals. Sometimes these people would like to gain clarity on what their passion and purpose is in life, and sometimes they already know and need an extra nudge to get unstuck, step through fears and move towards their vision. I love working with an eclectic group of clients consisting of service professionals, artists, musicians, conscious entrepreneurs, nonprofit employees and members of the LGBT community. I also have a history of working with persons with chronic illness, those who may be in recovery from / or with a history of depression or anxiety, and those who want to reduce stress and attain life balance. Although the vast majority of my clients are in their 20s and 30s, I can work with people of all age groups.
My coaching skills are applicable to many people. If we find that we are not a good fit, I'm happy to refer to another professional who may be. In general, my clients are open-minded, willing to change their mindset, and ready to take responsibility for creating their ideal lives.
How are you different from other coaches?
In addition to having overcome my own obstacles, I have a deep understanding of mental health and bring that expertise to my coaching. Additionally, I am passionate, understanding and nonjudgmental. This creates an open, comfortable space for my clients. Futhermore, I believe in looking at the WHOLE person when helping someone live their best life.
I have received training from reputable sources on a wide variety of topics such as coaching, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral techniques, stress reduction, the art & science of wellness, mind-body connections, universal spiritual principles and even business and mindset for business owners. My training also includes several evidence-based programs and techniques that have been proven to work.
What is expected of me?
I work best with individuals who are ready to make positive changes in their lives and who have a desire to live the "best life" possible. This requires motivation as well as commitment. Prior to each session, it is expected to have an idea of what you'd like to focus on during the session, and if possible, what you'd like to takeaway at the end of the session.
How quickly can I expect results?
A lot of this depends on you! That is why it is important for you to do your part, and stay committed in between sessions. However, know that I am here to help and support you.
