What is Spiritual Coaching?

A coach is a person who works with a person to assist them in improving their performance and focuses on the present, rather than the past or future. A coach also assist a client in unlocking their potential, identifying their gifts and talents, to maximize their performance in a particular area and reaching a goal.

A spiritual coach or a spiritual life coach helps seekers explore deeper connections within themselves and between other people, and the Universe. A spiritual coach first assists an individual in identifying where they are currently at, where they are challenged, or blocked. They will then help that person examine at a deeper level the nuances of the blockages through the process, the spiritual coach will provide support to the person by identifying a solution(s), offering healing tools and practices, and the implementation of these varied modalities. Through the journey, a spiritual coach will also guide the client through the integration of the knowledge gained in their growth process. Besides resolving an issue, a spiritual coach aids a seeker in developing their self-trust, confidence, love of self, and compassion for another.

1-Improving Mindset

How a person views the world, their environment, a situation, or even themselves starts with the mind. Helping to develop a growth mindset is the way to happiness and fulfillment in life. Having a coach helps you examine your feelings and feelings of lack or unworthiness. This might have been caused due to childhood or life event trauma or family dynamics. The goal to a positive mindset is helping a client to end negative self-talk to come from a place of self-love and worthiness. This in turn helps abolish pessimism and negativity to shift to positivity. The result is a sense of empowerment that builds confidence, self-worth, and happiness.

2-Understanding Purpose & Path

What is your purpose while you are here on the planet? What does that look like for you? How are you going to get there? Life is full of choices and changes. Perhaps you feel that you want change, but are not exactly sure how to get there? A Spiritual Reading helps clear away the mental clutter to uncover what really excites and resonates with you. It is a way to connect with your inner knowing and wisdom to find and explore what truly resonates with you and brings you joy.

3-Identifying and Removing Blockages

We all have blockages. While we are conscious of those on the surface, there may be other underlying or unconscious reasons you are feeling stuck. Some of these underlying ‘shadows’, traumas, or behavior patterns may be from childhood or were part of the conditioning from our upbringing, religious dogma, community restrictions, etc. Getting the root of a blockage or obstacle may be uncomfortable, but by shining a light on these issues that may be holding you back are key to your growth. A Spiritual Coach, who has a variety of tools and approaches, can help you discover, gently accept, solve, or heal these obstacles, so you can start living a joyful life.

4-Discovering or Deepening Your Own Spirituality

Perhaps you are looking for answers in your spirituality. Maybe you need assistance in strengthening your current spiritual practices or expanding them. Possibly, you are struggling with how to integrate or balance what is going on in the world around you or from within. A Spiritual Coach can assist you in this way, regardless of your religious affiliation, can help you find a more balanced approach to life, in strengthening your beliefs, and looking at life or a situation from a different perspective.

5-Uncovering Who You Really Are

There comes a time (sometimes more than once) where you are confronted with rediscovering who you really are. Life altering experiences are many times the wake-up call we have needed to change something in our lives. It is a chance for us to reexamine who we were, who we currently are, and what we now wish to become. A Spiritual Coach helps you navigate the exploratory process of rediscovering yourself, assisting and supporting you in developing who the new or refined you truly is. 

6-Discovering & Exploring Your Gifts, Talents, & Abilities

Awakening to a new gift, talent, or ability can be scary. Many times, you may not feel like you have anyone to talk to, as they would not understand or could not relate to your experiences. An awakening of any kind many times leaves you with more questions than answers but also of being alone. Or perhaps, you have had an ability that you wish to further develop, but do not know where to start. A Spiritual Coach can provide guidance, resources, and support for helping you in your quest.

7-Learning to Tap Into Your Intuition

Intuition is also known as “following your gut”. I also refer to it as a ‘niggle’ or nudge (a little stronger) that is trying to guide you in the right direction. Everyone has intuition, but sometimes we allow our logic to override that inner voice. A Spiritual Coach can aid you in strengthening that inner knowing, whose goal is to keep you in alignment for following your path in life.

8-How to Manifest What You Really Want

Whether professional or personal, maybe there has been a goal you wish to achieve but the road is not clear. Manifestation is all about being conscious of your thoughts, words, and actions, so that they are of the vibration you need to attract what you want. A Spiritual Coach can provide insight and a plan for helping you turn those dreams into reality. About changing the way you look or do things in a manner that supports your vision.

9-How to Handle & Traverse Life’s Challenges

Life is all about change and how we respond to that change. Whether is it in a professional setting, personal, or spiritual. A Spiritual Coach can provide you with a different perspective or lens to see those challenges. A coach can assist in helping to building your confidence and how to empower yourself in taking steps or action towards resolution. A Spiritual Coach also provides you with the ongoing support needed when taking those steps through and beyond the challenge. Spiritual Coaching is extremely helpful in your growth process as they help you to integrate your experiences and feelings surrounding your journey through dark or challenging times.

10-How to Be More Fulfilled Professionally

Spiritual Coaching is not just for spiritual or personal issues. A Spiritual Coach can be highly effective in your professional career path. A coach can help you navigate a project, going for a promotion, or even stepping out on your own as an entrepreneur, by providing guidance. This might include looking at what you really want, what you need to focus on or prioritize, or assisting in how you view your current situation. Maybe you are considering a job change and a Spiritual Coach and help you getting more in-tune with yourself, your desires, aligning with what you truly were meant to do.
