Inner Work

For those who want to change

Resolve Personal Issues

Overcome Limiting Behaviours

Attain new Skills and Abilities

Why Coaching?

They want to resolve and overcome personal issues

Whether that's

  • struggles with anxiety, procrastination, or unhealthy habits

  • lack of confidence or purpose

  • navigating career or relationship challenges

Because skillfully focusing on your life opens it up to change and possibility

Coaching is taking responsibility for your life

(and sometimes it's just good to have someone to talk things through with)

People come to coaching for two primary reasons

They want to excel

  • They have personal goals they want to achieve

  • Skills and abilities they want to attain.

  • And they are ready to do the work.

Or...

What can you expect?

  • to learn new things about yourself

  • to develop new capacities and skill

  • to be listened to

  • to step outside your comfort zone

    - whether that's trying new behaviors,

    or questioning your present ideas and assumptions

  • to be referred on if your trauma, or mental health concerns

    are beyond my scope of practice

  • to be more connected to your body, feelings, intuition, and passion

What not to expect

  • Advice

    I will share with you what I have learned about Embodiment and personal growth but I don't know what is best for your life, you do. I'm here to help you discover that and succeed in what is important to you.

  • To be analyzed, diagnosed, or judged

    My job is to help you generate your own insights and understanding, not to give you mine

  • Quick fixes

    While there are insights and breakthroughs, real change comes from applying those insights in your daily life

Why work with me?

Because I have done this work myself.

I have worked at:

  • Resolving inner conflict

  • Uncovering and integrating difficult emotions

  • Shifting conditioned attitudes and beliefs of what is possible

  • Changing addictive patterns

  • acquiring new skills and abilities

And I am still doing this work.

Still learning.

Still growing.

And...

Because I am trained

  • BA in Psychology

  • Trauma informed

  • Certified Embodiment Coach

  • Certified IFS Informed Practitioner

  • Training as a Certified Focusing Professional

And...

I have practiced meditation for over thirty years, sat in numerous ceremonies and sweat lodges, and am widely read in psychology and spiritual traditions. And because I have learned a lot about learning.

What is Embodiment Coaching?

In this video I explain what embodiment coaching is, and why it is effective.

"What is constant throughout is his ability to use strategic silence as effectively as he does mirroring back to me my own expressions of thought and feeling.

He guides without over-guiding — it’s almost as if he can read what I am silently processing, and can sense the right moment to step in with a word, a reflection, a question, an encouragement forward.

A year ago I had the good fortune to work with Mark.

I was seeking ways to become more grounded and clear around boundaries and decision-making.

Mark is passionate about the work he shares and shows up in an open and non judgemental way making space for whatever comes up in a session.

I always felt safe and with Mark's encouragement was able to step a little further out of my comfort zone.

The grounding practices created the sense of calm I was looking for and the embodiment techniques helped with my confidence and resolve.

I look forward to working with Mark again in the future.
