Individual Coaching Services (Personal Coaching)

Personal Coaching that Addresses the TOTAL Picture

Maybe you are a busy professional, a women entrepreneur or a working mom. You invest in your business and career, your home, your family…

But if YOU aren’t thriving, fueled, and operating at your best, everything else suffers too. Besides, life is just too short to spend it chasing your “to-do” list and knowing that YOU and your health and well-being aren’t what they could be. Personal coaching can help.

 

Coaching programs for busy women–entrepreneurs, professionals, and women who know how to work hard, but are seeking to THRIVE.

Using my signature T.H.R.I.V.E.™ Formula, I help women achieve their personal and professional goals while simultaneously addressing stress, overload, and the unhelpful habits that can creep into your life and work against your goal of being your best. I’ll show you how to ditch the “work harder and harder” model by making quantum shifts in your mindset and your approach to your goals.

mary jo falvey 250x250 Individual Coaching Services (Personal Coaching)“I had experienced a lot of life changes in recent years (moving, a child getting married, serious illness in family, youngest children going off to college, owning a small service business during a recession). I was in survival mode, which I’m pretty good at in some ways. However my survival strategies weren’t working and were taking a toll on my health. I had gained 30 pounds, stopped exercising, pulled away from family and friends. I felt disconnected, alone and worried about everything. I was looking for a way to change my lifestyle habits so that I didn’t feel so overwhelmed, tired, and out of control. A friend shared an article from Shape magazine that quoted Melissa and I went to her website and signed up for the emails. I ordered the Success Soundtrack™ first, then the Emotional Eating Toolbox™ program. I got “stuck” on Day 13 of the 28 day program and knew I needed extra support. I went ahead and scheduled a free coaching call to see how one-on-one calls could help. I knew I could use the ‘excuse of I can’t afford this’ as a way not to sign up. I also knew that I had spent almost 30 years and thousands of dollars on books, programs, diets, foods, motivational cd’s etc. I was ready to make an investment in myself that could create lasting change for me.

“I feel very comfortable working with Melissa. She ‘gets’ me. She saw the real me and believed in the real me before I even knew who that was or what it looked like. She continually encourages me to move a little bit out of my comfort zone and towards my goals. She keeps me accountable. She is available for support and encouragement by email in between my coaching calls. Working with Melissa, I gained my spirit back. I gained the courage and the security to know that I can be at my best and that I am a good person. I learned how to stay with myself when I feel uncomfortable. I learned how to be compassionate and kind to myself. I didn’t expect that I would learn these things. I thought I would learn a system or a process to manage my time, develop willpower and be able to turn off my emotional eating switch.

I used to look at certain people I knew, and admire that they could be so grounded, at peace with themselves, and at ease in the world. I am becoming more like them. I finally ‘get’ what it means to be in the present moment. I take time for myself every day. I am so glad I did this.” Mary Jo Falvey, www.PilatesTutor.com

 

“Just thinking about how I’m benefiting from working with Melissa for these several months . . .It’s not a coincidence that since working with Melissa I’ve upgraded my wardrobe, maintained my fitness routine without struggle, gotten a huge promotion, not been on a diet of any sort, been doing more creative projects that feed me, cleaned out my office, let go of some draining commitments. I’m more prepared for the holidays than I’ve ever been, I’m deepening some friendships and making new ones while letting go of others that are subtly destructive. I’m putting a few extra minutes into my appearance each day, am keeping the house really nice, am consistently writing.. . . . I’m so grateful to have someone (else) so fully on my side., seeing my best and reminding me of it, helping me be compassionate with myself, cheering me on, challenging me to be myself, helping me explore some parts of myself like the mindless eating that embarrass me, seeing all of this as connected to me and who I am in this world.” Vicki, Private Coaching Client
