ABOUT DEBORAH RN, RYT, CPT, MES, LifeCoach.
My Story
Through my life journey, including my dis-ease process, I organically evolved healing techniques which transformed me by helping others.
In realizing and actualizing dreams, my personal journey from victimized youth to a successful, happily married, entrepreneur with an abundant with love and joy clearly exemplifies how my program works!
How Life Coaching evolved:
It all started in the physical realm, helping people develop a relationship with their bodies, escorting in awareness. Using the body as metaphor/template to study ones nature, and habits eventually releasing blocks and creating an open willingness to stretch and strengthen beyond the comfort zone.
After 30yrs worth of study and practicing in psychotherapy, I realized the
limitations of the ‘analysis’ model that left me with answers as to why but
little towards the ‘how” (analyses/paralysis) of moving successfully through
life.
Studying and practicing health, science, medicine, through pre-med & nursing gave me deeper insights into wellness and a fuller appreciation of a holistic approach to health, well-being.
Over 10yrs of embracing the 12 step program which helped me create a dynamic life, it eventually lead me to yoga practice and studies, which then took me to deeper spirituality.
Delving into contemporaries including Bioenergetics, Path-work studies and ‘A Course in Miracles’ I continued my quest for spirit & healing methodologies. This opened the door to infinite inspirations, and pathways.
I came to understand that spirituality was my anchor and source of empowerment to connect conscious mind and (ego) sub/unconscious. The conscious mind keeps itself busy with goals and aspirations. Unfortunately the subconscious mind (ego)s job is to promote survival, so it builds barriers, (defenses) for protection and survival from early experiences in life. Since conscious mind is only 5% & 95% (ego) sub/unconscious brain power . I
developed technologies to break repetitive patterns and behaviors in situations caused by these blocks or ‘defenses’. Thus the eventual birth of Life Coaching.
The diversity of working successfully with people from all walks of life & all
ends of the health spectrum has helped me recognize limitations and
potentials. Each session explores those ranges to help you move beyond your limitations, gracefully and easefully.
