Frequently Asked Questions

What is Holistic Wellness Coaching?

Holistic Wellness Coaching is a partnership in which I support you in clarifying and successfully reaching your health & life goals. To do this I hold the neutral space for you to explore your patterns, restrictions and your truth in a safe and supported environment. To expand your awareness, I act as a reflective mirror to help you gain new insights and perspectives and to hear what you are "saying" both verbally and non-verbally. And while expanded awareness is helpful, I know that you are looking for powerful results. To support taking your clarity into creation, I assist you in designing the action steps you want to take to best meet your goals and act as your accountability partner and best cheerleader.

In Holistic Wellness Coaching, I assist you in developing a partnership with your BodyMind. Using the physical body as the main conduit of information from your BodyMind, I assist you in learning how to understand these vital messages and develop a transformational relationship with your inner wisdom. In communicating effectively with your inner wisdom, you gain access to your inner roadmap to health and harmony.

Since your natural state is already one of health and harmony, our partnership is simply to remove the restrictions and blocks that are preventing this flow of natural energy. To successfully address the multi-faceted layers of your patterns, I incorporate a large repertoire of tools and techniques from my over fifteen years of experience with CranioSacral and Massage Therapy, Kundalini Yoga, Life Coaching, Ayurveda, Reiki, and Neuro Linguistic Programming. In addition to increasing mental awareness, I also physically help your body release the excess external energy from the dramas and traumas and outdated patterns which are stored in the physical tissues.

The overall goal is to clarify the truth of who you are beyond your patterns, clear the restrictions blocking your natural flow of health, develop patterns and habits and support health instead of creating imbalance, and live in health and harmony with joy and abundance.

Holistic Wellness Coaching sessions can be done in-person or over the phone with powerful and lasting results. In addition to individual coaching sessions which can be done in-person or over the phone, I also offer the an eight-week structured group program called "Total Self Mastery" as well as products to support you on a daily basis at home. My goal is not only to help you develop a higher level of awareness around your patterns and communication with your BodyMind, but also to empower you with the tools and the skills you need to meet your ongoing self-care needs.

"Your body-mind approach reduced my initial pain 100%! I now have much more awareness of the effect of the body-mind connection and this has taken me to another level of understanding my body and how to keep it healthy."

Who is Holistic Wellness Coaching for?

As a coach, I work with people from diverse backgrounds with unique needs who have one thing in common - the commitment to turn their passions into reality and thrive in life instead of simply surviving. Wherever you're at on your journey, it is the place to start - and I'm ready to meet you wherever you are at.

Where should I start?

I provide various services and products designed to meet the logistical, financial, and energetic realities in each changing moment. Start where you are at since it's the only place you are in the moment! A Discovery Session is a great way to evaluate where you are at, clarify your starting point, and experience my style of coaching to see if it is a good fit. Once you are ready to give yourself the gift of commitment to move forward in bringing healing and harmony to your body and life, The Foundation Package will give you the time and tools to gain awareness and resource, release restrictions, and create new supportive habits.

The program is a fabulous opportunity to gain a strong foundation in learning the language of the Total Self in order to communicate more effectively with yourself and be able to decode the physical symptoms disrupting your life. You receive a 215 page workbook, 7 guided audio meditations and exploration activities, classes (or class recordings in the faciliated and self study versions) to learn, explore, be inspired by others' stories, receive mini-coaching sessions, and so much more.

If you have your clarity and need support with clearing restrictions or changing habits in an easy-to-use, timely and efficient manner, explore an Individual Yoga Session to discover the right yoga set or meditation to fit your specific block.

"When I came in to get some physical relief from exercising too intensely, I wasn't looking for a big shift - but I ended up there. I was able to explore what was below my restricted breathing and realize that there were other pieces there that had nothing to do with the physical." SD

Why is it important to first clarify where you are at in terms of your current habits and patterns?

From the time you are born, you begin creating mental and physical imprints which shape your habits and beliefs. Habits and beliefs are the foundation on which your patterns are built. However, many of your patterns are less than optimal because they are based on adaptive responses to past experiences and part of moving forward is letting go of what no longer serves you. These life experiences, injuries, traumas, and emotions are stored in the body as tissue memory and energy signature patterns. The subconscious mind reads these signature patterns and acts according to the scripts written even if you are not consciously living from those old mindsets. In order to release the restrictions, you first need to become aware of them and make a conscious choice of how your patterns can serve who you are today and who you want to be tomorrow.

"In my very first session with Jamie, I went from being stuck and unable to make a life-changing decision (which had been haunting me for some time), to becoming empowered with clarity and self confidence."
Mercedes Gallagher

How do I release restrictions in my body?

Because of the layered, multi-textured nature of your patterns which exist on the physical, mental and energetic bodies, it is crucial to release your restrictions at all levels of the BodyMind. Through my unique BodyMind approach, I assist you in this process. My coaching provides the framework to increase your awareness and examine your patterns, goals, desires and truths. You begin to observe your beliefs, both those at a conscious level as well as those hidden beliefs that lurk below the surface. By identifying the beliefs underlying your patterns, you have the power to evolve your mental patterning and core energies and create a life which expands all your innate potential.

In the body, I assist you to clear out the old messages and beliefs, often created in your childhood, which are no longer needed. I assist the body in releasing old scripts and signature patterns through CranioSacral Therapy and Kundalini Yoga meditations. Once the restrictions are cleared, the body, in its infinite wisdom and with the flow of natural energy, can heal itself. I also provide numerous tools and exercises for you to continue to play with reorganizing and refining your patterns so that they can more effectively support the person you are striving to be.

I use my training as an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Counselor to assess your constitutional bodytype or Dosha from which lifestyle pieces including diet, exercise, and meditation are given to guide your life in alignment with your nature.

"My biggest result of working with Jamie is my new understanding that the tightness or problems in my muscles and body isn't permanent; I no longer need to be afraid of not knowing how to deal with what shows up in my body. Now when I have tension or a problem in my body, I have the resources and confidence to know what to do to help myself." KV

What is the difference between self care and health care?

These two concepts as interconnected but have different impacts. In western medicine terms, health care is provided to you as an individual by others to treat illness and disease. It usually occurs when you are already experiencing symptoms, illness or a problem. While you might need external support at times, whatever you can do yourself to improve your own health is more effective in the long run than what another person can do for you.

Self care is ideally what you do to live in health and prevent the build-up of imbalance which leads to crisis points of pain and illness. Although you might use external tools to support your process, your healing power is internal. Since you are the person making choices and receiving input 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you are your ideal health care provider. And you act as your own health care provider through self-care techniques. There is no more effective tool for health than right living in alignment with your core self.
