Mind Body Method – Energy Coaching for Conscious Change. Today’s coach can’t depend on the basic coaching conversations focused on goal setting. Too many people set goals that do not complement or support their true authentic nature and self. This style of coaching wastes your client’s time and resources. The best gift you can offer your clients is the way back home to the core of their being, knowing, and personal power. This process requires the deep integration of their mind, body, emotional body, and spirit. The Mind Body Method – Energy Coaching for Conscious Change I have developed provides you with a model that will take your coaching and equine sessions from ordinary to profoundly life-changing. A truly holistic and integrative approach, the Mind Body Method guides your client to connect deeply with their truth, intuition, and inner knowledge. Visit the Mind Body Method Coach Training page.
