What is Coaching?
Coaching is a partnership, a relationship between coach and client that has the capacity to improve performance and enhance the quality of life. Coaching creates awareness about what is holding us back, and shows us what is necessary to open up to the experience of life that we are wanting. It shines the light on those areas that are causing us stress, in a way that, with time and committed practice, can bring deep and sustainable change to our whole life.
““...It has been nearly two years since I met with Tamara and I can say that the sessions changed my life in this area, and I continue to benefit from them. I am so grateful for her unique way of helping me find a new way of reacting and responding to situations that I continue to encounter in my personal life...” ”
WHY HIRE A COACH?
Everyone has their own specific reasons for hiring a coach. My clients share a commitment to mitigating climate change, getting out of their own way so they can be unstoppable for the world. But specifics around individual challenges vary. You may yearn for an increased level of happiness in your intimate relationship, or for greater productivity at work. Or perhaps you’re eager to feel less alone, more impactful, or more empowered to do the work - as hard as it is.
Some of the concerns below may resonate…
Calming Your Internal Experience
"There's no hope for us."
"This problem is way too big. What difference can I make?"
"It's too late and I'm afraid for our future."
"I can't deal with this. It's too much."
Increasing Your Effectiveness
"How & where do I start?"
"What should I do?"
"I'm so drained. How can I relax?"
"How can I apply my skills & passion to 'be the change'?"
Improving Your Relationships
"How can I help others be more effective?"
"Why do they do that?"
"Why aren't they listening?"
"Why am I the only one doing anything?"

HOW IT WORKS
The decision to work with a coach is no small feat. It takes a willingness to not only look at our patterns, to examine them in a light of honesty and authenticity, but a genuine commitment to take action on those comfortable habits that often leave us frustrated or overwhelmed.
As a coach, I listen. I inquire into what really matters, and get into your world with compassion and curiosity. And through it all, I see possibility. Where you may see darkness, I see opportunity and an opening for light. I listen for what lies beneath, those powerful messages behind our words, the patterns that arise and keep us from our dreams. I inquire, and help you explore those patterns with curiosity in a way that lands us closer to the path you seek. If you’re interested in embarking on a coaching program together, I will pour my heart into sculpting a unique program that will honor your strengths and enable you to reach that deeper level and create lasting change.
““...Before working with Tamara, I attempted many times to make the change I wanted, but each attempt ended in disappointment. Within a few sessions with her, I went from initially being somewhat doubtful, to believing that the change I wanted so much could really happen...””
As a client, you share with me what you're wanting--what's working, what isn't, and why this is important to you--in a particular area of your life. Through conversation and gentle exploration, we settle on the topic that will become the foundation of our work together. I develop a program to include developmental objectives, metaphorical representations of how you currently and might consider approaching your topic, and observation and practice exercises, all of which are designed to support you in building the muscles needed to meet your goals and ultimately experience fulfillment in your topic.
