Understanding The Coaching Journey
At Transformative Tides, our coaching journey is designed to meet you exactly where you are, gently guiding you toward the change that inspired you to begin this process. This journey is both structured and deeply personal—each phase is thoughtfully crafted to support your unique experience, and the transitions between phases are completely individualized to honor your pace and progress.
The Overall Journey: Phases & Personal Progress
The Beginning: Building Trust, Connection, & Engaging Your Felt Sense.
Our journey starts with laying a strong foundation of trust—between you and me, and ultimately, between you and yourself. In these early stages, we explore your core values, uncover the pain points and struggles that have been holding you back, and clarify the direction you want to move in. This is where we co-create your roadmap, setting clear intentions and expectations that reflect your deepest desires.
From the very beginning, you start working with your felt sense—tuning into your body’s subtle signals and initiating gentle somatic experiments. These early practices, tailored to where you are right now, help soften the mind and make contact with the body, setting the stage for deeper embodied inquiry.
The Middle: Deepening Your Embodied Experience & Expanding Somatic Exploration
As we move forward, our work shifts from the initial engagement with your felt sense to a deeper, more refined exploration of your embodied experience. In this phase, you continue to build on the somatic practices introduced earlier, as we explore a broader range of techniques—reflective dialogue, movement, visualization, breath work, and more—adapted to your evolving needs.
This is where the organic unfolding of your journey takes place. The experiments and techniques are guided by your ongoing exploration, deepening your connection with your body and uncovering new insights into your emotions and patterns. Importantly, throughout our work, we continuously revisit your original reason for coming to coaching, checking in, and inquiring whether the techniques and insights are moving you toward your desired intention and goal. The pace and direction of this exploration are entirely individualized, ensuring that you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Endings and/or Re-Contracting: Integrating Insights & Honoring Your Original Desire
Every coaching cycle comes to a natural close—a time to reflect on your progress and honor the transformation that has taken place. In these final moments, we review the insights and skills you’ve gained, ensuring that the journey has consistently brought you closer to that original spark that motivated you to seek coaching. This phase is not just an ending—it’s a celebration of your growth.
If you feel ready to continue evolving, we enter a re-contracting phase, setting fresh, even more ambitious goals that propel you toward a more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling life. Throughout this phase, we also check in to ensure that what I offer continues to be helpful, consistently aligning with your original intention. The decision to transition from one phase to the next is entirely up to you, guided by your internal rhythm and readiness.
Our coaching journey is a dynamic, evolving process that honors your unique path. Every step of this journey, including the transitions between phases, is completely individualized, ensuring that you always move forward at the pace that feels right for you while building a lasting foundation for your well-being.
If you’re ready to embark on this transformative journey or are simply curious about what coaching could unlock in your life, I invite you to reach out. Let’s create a roadmap that honors your unique story and sets you on a path toward a more vibrant, authentic future.
