As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am starting a free coaching group for readers of my blog. So far, it has been a pleasure to read your comments, e-mails — and talk with some of you by phone. I am certain that we will create a fun & safe space, where the group can take a mind-body-spirit approach to recovery.
About the Coaching Group
I will select 6 – 8 people for this initial coaching group. My goal is to select a group that has similar recovery goals, so that we can progress at a pace that works for each participant. All applications will be kept on file for future coaching groups or services that I’d like to offer to my blog readers.
About Coaching
You can read about the benefits of coaching to learn more about my coaching style. If group coaching is not for you, contact me for a free individual coaching session and you can see if you would like that better.
Meetings
We will likely meet for 1 hour, once per week, by phone. I will set up a conference call number and send meeting invites via e-mail each week. I will also open a forum (online bulletin board), where we can post action items, ideas, inspiration and general Q&A. This will allow us to keep in touch with and support each other between calls.
What Will We Do?
- We will learn how to use our minds to create what we want in our lives.
- We will create a vision of our ideal life.
- We will balance our lifestyles and learn to make choices that support our health & wellbeing.
- We will learn healthy eating options to repair our bodies from disordered eating.
- We will support one another in our goals.
- We will have action items to experiment with in our daily lives.
- We will follow many of the mind-body-spirit exercises I have in my free Actions for Recovery workbook – and more!
- We will have fun!
Length The Group Will Be Together
I have targeted the group for between 3 – 6 months. I have seen amazing changes happen in my client’s lives in just 3 months. If we decide as a group to continue, we have the option of extending to 6 months.
How Do I Apply?
- Submit your application by Thursday, May 25th, 2006 (you can also click on “free coaching group” on the right hand navigation area to get the application).
- e-mail your completed application to me — all responses will be kept confidential.
- I will review them and let you know if you have been selected.
When Does The Group Start?
I have targeted the middle of June for the group to start, most likely the week of June 19th. I will provide specific details once I receive your applications and have selected the group.
I am very excited to be working with some of you on this recovery journey!
With love,
Heather

Hi Heather,
I think it’s wonderful you’re starting this coaching group! I have looked over the application and will take the time to complete and submit it as soon as I can. I’m intrigued by the doors this kind of experience may open up, and, admittedly, am also noticing a bit of resistance creep up in me… am I ready to make this kind of committment and put in the time and energy required? I think before any life-changing event, people tend to feel resistance. There are two types of resistance: one of them (more rare) is your gut telling you to stay away from a situation. The other one (very common) represents that hump you have to overcome in order to get some place really amazing! I feel this is the kind of resistance I am experiencing right now. This is a good opportunity to go within and melt that resistance, allowing myself to go wherever life may want to take me and let my intuition guide me.
Thank you for encouraging us all to look deeper within!
love,
Emily

Hi Emily, I can really see how in tune you are with what is going on inside of you — thank you for sharing — it is such a common struggle, isn’t it? The coaching group will definitely take commitment from everyone — although it will be a fun and safe space for everyone who participates. So there will be plenty of joy within what we do — even while facing our fears! I hope to get your applicaton!
With love,
Heather
