Sometimes we need to get to the root of things.
Emotions and attachments can feel confusing and overwhelming when purging our homes and setting up new home organizing systems. Viewing these feelings as an opportunity allows us to ask deeper questions about what’s blocking you.
The coaching process can reveal limiting beliefs that may be standing in your way. We can pause to ask these deeper questions during an organizing session, and we can also schedule coaching sessions separately.
Coaching is different from therapy in that, though we may discover past issues at play, our focus will always be on the present and the future. Together, we’ll tackle procrastination, work to develop a growth mindset, and find an empowered perspective so you can outgrow your inner critic.

WHAT IS BRAINSPOTTING?
Brainspotting is an innovative therapy using aspects of EMDR, mindfulness, and brain and body-based therapies. Brainspotting is based on the belief that certain eye positions can evoke emotions, sensations, and memories because they access specific ‘brain spots’ where blocks are stored.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The modality of Brainspotting utilizes the fact that our eyes and brains are intricately woven together. Vision is the primary way that humans orient to our environment, and signals sent from our eyes are deeply processed in the brain.
In a brainspotting session, we activate your specific ‘issue’ by feeling into your memories and sensations in your body around the topic, thus connecting to the part of the brain that is feeling/sensing instead of thinking. Then I will help you identify a spot in your visual field where this activation is particularly felt, allowing your innate instincts to reveal information while locking on that brain spot for a period of time.
WHY DO I NEED IT?
Talking about our desires and issues is essential to the process of growing as a person, and that in itself is healing, but language processing and thinking take place in the neocortical brain (logical thinking), and this is not where our emotions, instincts, or dysfunctional programming are stored. Our deeper selves stem from our “subcortical” brain: the more primitive part of the brain.
With Brainspotting, we contact this subcortical area of our system through the eyes via the retina using focused eye positions. Mindfully staying curious about what comes up for us allows us to release stuck memories, emotions, and blocks.
Disclaimer: Life-Style-ist offers brain-body-based life coaching. It is not a psychological therapy, nor will we work to resolve medically framed pathologies. Clients affected by severe trauma or clinically diagnosed pathologies can get great results from brainspotting but require a referral to a licensed brainspotting therapist. There is no shame in this! I highly encourage you to seek out this work and clear your trauma! This is a modality that works.
