INDIVIDUAL COACHING

the discipline of happiness

Once committed to the journey of self-directed happiness, we begin our work on three levels of relating: intrapersonal, interpersonal and global. 

Intrapersonal is about your relationship with yourself, and your capacity for self-attunement. Together we will develop practices that help you relate to your inner experiences, as they arise, with more awareness and self-compassion. We will challenge your habitual patterns of belief and disrupt the perpetual cycles of dissatisfaction with the help of critical inquiry methods and transformational mind-training practices. 

Interpersonal is about your relationship with others, and your ability to navigate the complex terrain of others' minds and actions with skill and empathy. Our interpersonal relationships can be the source of great joy and deep fulfillment, but before we can extend our resources to others in a sustainable way, we must establish them within ourselves. 

Global is about your relationship with the world, and your role within its ever-increasing complexity. Together we will explore ways in which you can navigate the demands of modern life and the cultural pressures towards self-sufficiency with ease and a clear sense of purpose. At a global level, we are interested in dedicating our lives to something greater than ourselves in ways that will benefit those beyond our personal sphere.
