What is Holistic Theracoaching, and is it for you?
First, I would like to define theracoaching as a combination of therapy and coaching with the intention of optimally supporting you in moving forward and achieving your healing transformation goals. Hence, Holistic Theracoaching is an integrative approach grounded in the premise that the whole person is made up of interdependent mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional parts. Thus, if one part isn’t working properly, all the other parts are affected.
For instance, my clinical skills and tools allow me to assess, diagnose, and treat psychiatric syndromes and populations. However, I enjoy going beyond the traditional wisdom of appraisal in the clinical environment, as I am very aware of the damage mental health stigma can have on an individual. The goal is to help you make sense of the mental health diagnosis you might have been given as well as support you in understanding your experiences and symptoms, which understandably, may be troubling or confusing. Learning about your mental health can help you see that you are not your diagnosis, and that you are not alone.
On a similar note that stems from a holistic approach, I may first consider discussing with my clients, what steps they have taken or could take before recommending a medication evaluation; unless, of course, the situation appears to require an assessment by a psychiatrist as soon as possible. When appropriate, I may introduce the use of breathwork, relaxation and mindfulness exercises, creative expression, or exploring and reframing negative self-talk as viable alternatives of integrative conservative treatment.
With respect to alternative treatment, my client’s spiritual beliefs and practices are integrated into their holistic theracoaching sessions as the foundation of their healing process.
Just to clarify, when it comes to spirituality, I am not referring to religion, though it’s often considered similar or the same. I understand that there is no one definition for spirituality as it may differ from one person to another. Moreover, my clients choose how their spiritual beliefs support their individual healing process because I am aware that spirituality may help them find meaning and purpose in their lives, bring hope and healing in times of suffering and loss, and encourage them to seek a better relationship with themselves and others.
I strongly adhere to the belief that there is basic goodness in everyone, that we are all doing the best we can, and that no one is broken, even though it may feel like it at times. Consequently, I often encourage my clients to consider that when they are willing to do the healing work it takes to get better, their wounds can undoubtedly be experienced as precious scars as in Kintsugi or kintsukuroi: the Japanese art of filling in the cracks of broken pottery with gold.

Theracoaching: the Best of Both Worlds
Holistic Theracoaching HERE is about Guidance, Self-Actualization, and Healing Transformation
Theracoaching is a combination of therapy and coaching to best support you in moving forward and achieving your healing transformational goals. As a holistic theracoach, I may interchangeably perform the roles of guide, counselor, coach, facilitator, or healing healer for anyone who is striving to heal their soul wound, transform their lives, and embrace all that they are.
It should be mentioned that theracoaching doesn’t have to be a lifetime endeavor, especially when you consistently aim to recognize and reclaim your unique and authentic superpowers; you do your part, and I do mine.

You get out what you put in. From the beginning, there is a great deal of ongoing preparation, on my part. I share resources that invite you to profoundly dive into deepening practices and exercises that are meant to be significantly supportive, healing, and therapeutic during and in-between sessions.
Therefore, even though the coaching component of the holistic counseling I offer, doesn’t entail committing to purchasing session packages. I will, however, ask you to commit to your healing process and show up fully with the desire and willingness to put your back into it. Thus, to encourage accountability and integrate your healing process, I recommend regular e-mail / online check-ins between sessions.
I find that for transformative work to be life-changing, there needs to be a level of commitment that addresses specific personal goals with clear intentionality and purpose, which may significantly increase your transformative results.
Know that once we make the decision to work together, I will do my very best to empower you. I am genuinely committed to your healing process.
Lastly and very importantly, it is my heartfelt calling to fully support you in connecting to your truth, your soul medicine, and your reason to be here at this time in your life.
