Center of Joy Coaching is about joyfully relaxing into who you really are.  By integrating the insights of contemplative practice with the modalities of laughter, movement and play, this uniquely spirited process gets you out of your head, offers a spacious sense of perspective, serves to “unstick” your stuck places and gives access and clarity to your heart’s innate wisdom. 

While coaching sessions may be directed towards any specific area of a client’s personal, professional, social or spiritual life, most clients find that the big shifts are internal and thus the ripple effects are all encompassing. 

The Coaching process differs from traditional therapy in that a) it assumes the client has all the answers and b) its direction is forward facing.  While old stories, memories or habits may surface, the focus within the coaching framework is to honor and transform these rather than to examine and analyze them.  A typical Center of Joy Coaching client has a life that is basically working for them but is looking to enact changes (both subtle and profound) that will enable them to live more fully, successfully, joyfully and in line with their values and highest sense of purpose.

"I believe the purpose of life is to be happy."
-- The Dalai Lama

How does Center of Joy Coaching Work?

Coaching with Rebecca can be done in person, on the phone or via skype.  Sessions run approximately 45 minutes each and may include check-ins, homework and follow-up between sessions.  The session itself could include: grounding, centering and/or energizing exercises, intuitive questioning, visualizations, brainstorming, identification of goals, obstacles and actions, as well as a variety of laughter and play oriented exercises in support of the client’s own unique path.  The Coach facilitates this process but the client is always in control of both the direction and the elements of each session.  The client, in conjunction with the Coach, determines the frequency of the sessions (weekly, biweekly, monthly) as well as the period of time during which they will work (one month, six weeks, six months, etc.).

What Clients are Saying...

". . .a delight and, in the best possible sense, a challenge. With great focus and warmth, Rebecca led me to connect some of the concerns and goals I have to a very real and natural feeling of joy and ease.  She worked gently at some of the edges of my comfort and stuck places, challenging me but staying very much an ally at the same time.  And she insisted on moving from concepts to right-here-and-now, both in the moments of the session (do it with my body, for instance) and in making commitments in the real world for the future . . . Fabulous."  --Paul W. in Salt Lake City, Utah

 

"Hands down, one of the best coaching sessions I have ever experienced as a client."   --Katie West, Levity Institute & Katie West Life Design

  

“As a direct result of our work together, what was a hard, emotional time became lighter with me becoming more grounded.   I felt 100% safe, heard, and uplifted.  I was able to move forward with a greater sense of ease and spaciousness, feeling more centered and even buoyant!  I now have new tools and a clear sense of more openness to possibilities.  "  --Mary Rives in Santa Fe, New Mexico

 

"The insight Rebecca is able to bring out when we work together has consistently surprised me.  The translation of that insight into workable, measured goals has proven immensely helpful in addressing areas of concern in my life."  --Deidre in Barrington, RI

 

“The time we spent together was so worthwhile for me and I'm still using the techniques you gave me.” --Diane Wheatley in Southlake, Texas

 

"Rebecca's coaching has an ingraining, lasting impact." --Joshua in RI

 

“Rebecca coached me during a difficult time in my life - I was undergoing chemotherapy.  She made the room and my body feel light, less heavy with the burden of cancer. . . Her presence is gentle and her guidance with laughter made it all easy and fun!  She gave me tools to work with in order to bring laughter into my life on a daily basis.” --Carolyn Schmitz in Providence, RI

 

 "Working with Rebecca was really a privilege. She is extremely professional and a generous listener.  I not only felt heard, but felt that I was in capable hands and that I could move forward.  Typically, my work life feels overwhelming.  Rebecca really helped me isolate the attitude that was holding me back.  With laughter and playfulness, the old ideas fell away and I was able to take a new approach to my work.  Rebecca is a truly gifted coach.  She has the ability to gently step into the noise and confusion of her clients, and, with laughter, opens them up to new possibilities."  --Jody Ross in Minneapolis, MN
