FAQ

According to Leon VanderPol, the Founder of The Center for Transformational Coaching, “... I use the word (with a capital S) as an umbrella term, a label to denote the greater consciousness, presence, or evolutionary intelligence that guides us on our path and sustains our very existence. Depending on your belief system, Spirit could go by any of a number of names: God, the Divine, Source, Brahman, Creator, Supreme Being, Universal Consciousness or Mind, Divine Presence, Ground of Being, Breath of Life, Guiding Light, and more. All of these are generally pointing to the same thing, and so you are free to decide and define what Spirit means to you.”

According to The Somatic School, body oriented coaching makes available the whole spectrum of the bodymind, allowing creative and spontaneous ways of working that are rooted in experience, deeply felt, engaging and transformative.

It is not necessary to believe in Spirit, God, or anything outside of yourself to take this journey. You may consider how you feel about having a Higher Self or Soul, a part of yourself that knows what is best beyond the everyday stressors, past traumas and future worries.

According to the Center for Transformational Coaching, together we “create a sacred, enlivening space in which a revolution & renewal of one’s self-identity can unfold naturally, and with the greatest amount of ease & joy. We drop below the thinking mind & into the realm of our innermost intelligence: the intelligence of the heart (our spiritual heart) & the life force or evolutionary consciousness that is alive within all of us.”

According to One Spirt Learning Alliance, a Spiritual Companion offers “support to spiritual seekers in cultivating their inner wisdom as they explore the meaning of life, love, compassion, and inner peace; seek clarity about their purpose and place in the world; and nurture their relationship with the Divine, known by many names.”
