Family Life Coaching

Family life Coaching

As a pediatrician, I never felt there was enough time to talk to families about the issues they not only wanted to talk about but were facing in their lives – relationship challenges, work, family, school, sleep, balance in life. Niching out time to talk to families and help advise them became more and more of a priority over my 25 years in clinical practice and are the foundation for my coaching practice. Unlike medicine where sometimes only one treatment exists for a situation, coaching is unique and tailored to each person in each family. That’s the foundation of my coaching practice. You are your own person and your path is your own.

Traveling through life can be like going on a trip without a map. Most of the time, we all do fine and can tackle the ebbs and flows that come our way. Sometimes, though, our journey gets covered in fog and we become unsure of what path to take next. If that’s how you or someone in your family is feeling at home, work or in your relationships, coaching may be the path to explore.

 Just as a sports coach helps players hone their skills and work within their team during the ups and downs of a season, we’ll work together to develop the best plan for you. This is your journey. Together, we’ll clear the fog.

Conflict Management Coaching

Conflict Management

Conflicts happen for all of us. We may have a conflict with someone over a proposal, which way to drive to a destination, what to have for dinner. While some conflicts are easy, others may be more challenging and leave us unsure of how to approach the situation. Coaching allows us to discover tools to help us not only solve a specific conflict but future conflicts. Just as a sports coach helps a team or player develop a strategy, we can help you develop a conflict strategy for your life situations.

Family and Relationship

Families and relationships have their ups and downs. For many of us, when we face conflict with the people in our lives, what we need are skills to communicate better and diffuse the conflict. Coaching provides you with those tools. If you have situations in your life that you want help with, contact us.

Parenting ​

Conflict and parenting go hand in hand, especially at certain times in kids’ lives. While some conflicts seem easy to sort through, others can be stressful. What helps many parents is understanding the development their child is going through and the skills they already have to work with their family to ease the stress and minimize the conflict. You have the skills already. Coaching just helps you rediscover what you have inside.

Personal Goals

Do you have a personal goal you want to achieve but never seem to get around to tackling it? Perhaps it’s running a mile or learning to cook. Perhaps you want to carve out more time for yourself or to spend with your kids. Whatever your goal is, if you haven’t tackled it, coaching can help you come up with a plan to not only sort out why but actually get to that goal.

Premediation Coaching in MA

Premediation Coaching

Mediation is a big step for many people. However, most people have never been in a mediation and do not know what to expect. If you are about to start a mediation or are thinking about it, coaching can help you prepare and understand the process. This isn’t a legal consultation but a mediation preparation session.

Stress Reduction

One of the best features of coaching is to help you minimize stress. We all pile too much on our plates easily but don’t do a great job taking things away. Through coaching, you’ll learn to sort out what your scheduling pattern is and how to unload a bit. We can figure out what works for you to destress and find ways to get you to that point.

Work Life Balance Coach

Work-life balance

For all of us, we all teeter from one side to the other with work and other issues in our lives. If you find work dominating your life too much, coaching can help you sort out how to reclaim your balance. Whether single or in a relationship, having a balanced life makes people happier and healthier.

questions

Coaching may help you address issues in your home such as stress, behavioral issues, anxiety as well as logistical issues. Coaching helps you identify the areas of your life you value and helps you achieve you identify tools to solve the issues for yourself and your family. Whether you’re working on conflict, screen time, eating, anxiety, balance of activities, stress…coaching is a great way to find real world strategies to help you move forward.

Coaching is not a healthcare service and does not provide clinical care. Coaching helps guide you to find the answers to the issues you face in your own life by helping you discover the tools you need to be successful that are not in the healthcare arena.

Q4 What can I expect in a coaching session and how many sessions will be needed?

We start with one session to identify your goals and develop a plan from that session. Every person is unique so the amount of sessions each person needs will be different from every other person and every tools needed for each person will be different.

Coaching occurs on zoom.

Welcome!

I love the expression that life can be bitter-sweet. While we all strive for the sweet times, lately we’ve been tossed a huge helping of bitter with COVID and events we can’t control. Talk about stressful!
