Spiritual Coaching

Spiritual matters are very personal. Coaching in such areas requires the insight of one who has gained some degree of wisdom from their spiritual practice but who is not invested in proselytizing about a particular path.

Private sessions are available for people seeking to sort through spiritual issues or questions, and help them develop a practice that is uniquely right for them.

Coaching Guidelines

The following points are important:

1. I am not a licensed psychologist, social worker, or marriage and family therapist.
2. I am a meditation and yoga teacher with extensive experience in that field. I have a wealth of classical /practical information applicable to coaching in a spiritual capacity. My training stems from the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi) and, over the years I've incorporated this body of knowledge into numerous classes, workshops, and coaching activities . The material is timeless in value, universal in applicability.
3. What I offer should not take the place of traditional family / marriage, or psychological counseling. Rather, it should be a helpful "other piece". I address a dimension that may not be included in more traditional counseling sessions.
4. This kind of work is both informational and experiential. Do not be surprised if some time is spent going within, i.e. meditating, together.
5. Insights, concepts, and practices may be suggested to open doors for greater personal/mutual balance and light. If you feel what is shared doesn't fit, fine. I don't override personal beliefs. All I ask is that people come with a willing attitude and faith in the potential for healing.
6. In the final analysis, I maintain that God is the healer in all situations. To the degree we are receptive to that healing force, we can be healed.
