Are you ready to get coached? Have questions? There you go…

Who needs a Life Coach?

Usually the people that I work with are currently undergoing a deep transformation in some way. For example new mothers, or women who are about to become mothers, people that are not satisfied with their jobs and think about quitting, new entrepreneurs, young people that don’t know what to do with their lives, mothers who find it difficult to combine family and work (sorry men, but that IS typical for women. If you are facing the same situation, you are totally entitled to hire a coach, too!),people who have just ended or are about to end an important relationship, people who are realizing that what they have lived so far isn’t satisfying anymore and have the feeling that there must be more.

Basically people whose old lives are falling apart and are experiencing a phase of chaos. The people that hire me as a coach in these situations are open to grow. They understand that this is actually a chance to change their lives in a way that enables to live what’s really true for them. Like you would take off the clothes that don’t fit anymore and put on new ones. Only that you are currently naked and don’t quite know which clothes fit you. Or maybe you have an idea which clothes you would love to wear but don’t know where you get them, and how you put them on (because some clothes can really be a pain in the arse with all their ribbons and buttons…).

What is Life Coaching anyway?

I help people surf the waves of chaos. I don’t tell you which surfboard you should use, but I help you find the board that feels good for you. Every surfer is different, just as every board is different. When surfer and board match, that’s when the magic happens.

So, is this therapy?

No. Therapy is primarily for people with some kind of disorder, wheras coaching is for functioning, mentally fit people. Think about the difference between a doctor and a personal trainer. The doctor gets ill people back to healthy, wheras personal trainers get overall healthy people to be really, really healthy and fit. But of course it’s a little bit overlapping, because therapy has been around for a longer time, is well situated and often therapists work like coaches…

What is a Martha Beck Life coach, and what makes it so special?

This style of coaching is based on the philosophy of Dr. Martha Beck (you can visit her homepage at www.marthabeck.com, and you can also read her wonderful books “Finding your own North Star” and “Steering by StarLight”).

I personally think of this style of coaching as being very intuitive and going very deep. It’s not so much about getting you this or that result, it’s more about finding out what’s inside you, and taking that to move yourself towards a life that’s the most pleasureable, peaceful, exciting, wonderful life that you could possibly imagine. It’s about changing your life by changing yourself. And it’s about healing your wounds. Not by covering it with a band-aid, but by helping the body to use its self-healing power.

What if I realize that it’s not for me?

That’s why we’ll have a FREE 20 min welcome-session in advance (click here to schedule it). It’s for getting the feeling for each other and see wether it fits or not. Only if you walk out of the call with a good feeling you commit to a contract and payment. If you’re not satisfied – no harm done, you can try s.o. else…

Do you also coach on location?

Yes, I do. But only in Hamburg, Germany. Cause that’s where I live. So, if you live near Hamburg or planning to visit the city, send me an email. Or you could pay the flight and hotel, and I’ll be thrilled to visit you in your town! :-)

Does it work via phone, too?

Absolutely! I love to work via phone, or if you’re from outside Germany, via skype. The  sessions are always very intense.

Ok, so I want to get coached. What do I have to do and how’s the process?

Oh, good!

First of all you schedule a free 20 min call with me by clicking here. Then we’ll have the call. We get to know each other and talk a bit. You can ask questions. And we’ll do a sample coaching. So you know what you’re in for. Then we say good-bye and hang up.

You have some time to breath in and out and sleep. There’s no rush here.

If you still want to be coached you email me and we’ll schedule the coaching sessions. I will sent you the contract + a lovely questionnaire that you will fill out and send back, to help me help you get maximum results. You pay the bill.

And then we have a great time together! That’s it.
