Touchstone Life Coaching Services
With Life Coach and Strategist A.J. Mahari
Each person has a soul. Each soul yearns, often, underneath the everyday lives that
we lead to be much more fully known, felt, and expressed. Our lives have connection and meaning to the universe.
Each life holds sacred purpose. It is in this universal garden of life that life truly is full of new
beginnings. Each new beginning is a further conscious awakening on the journey that is living an examined life.
Touchstone Life Coaching reflects my philosophy. As a life coach I believe that I act as a touchstone in the life of each client. The journey is the client's. The client takes the lead and I, acting as a touchstone, can provide a reference point, a basis for comparison, against which the client's thoughts and feelings can be further explored.
New beginnings beckon to us from what are experienced first as losses, failures, and painful experiences. There are times in life when transitioning from one phase to another the journey can be augmented positively by sharing part of it with a life coach like myself. Someone to walk a few steps of this explorative transition with you in a supportive, compassionate, and caring way.
Life coaching is a collaborative process with between the coach and the client with the mandate of supporting the client in achieving his or her personal goals. The process of life coaching, unlike psychotherapy, does not focus on the past or involve delving into one's past. Life coaching focuses on effecting wanted and needed change in a client's current and future thinking, attitude, feelings, and/or behaviour.
Personal Coaching is a process of supporting the client in his or her learning more about him/herself. In my experience, as a life coach, asking the client questions in a reflective way that is in response to what the client shares encourages the client to seek his or her own answers. Answers that will make themselves known through the kind of self-examination that produces both a deeper self-awareness and an increasing personal insight. Personal coaching is a learning experience.
Most clients seek me out as a life coach because they have come to some type of crossroads. They have come to realize that there is change needed in some area of their lives. Change is not easy for anyone. In some cases, where change is not possible, clients are exploring ways of coming to terms with challenges. In other cases clients are in search of more effective coping skills and techniques. And some clients face certain life challenges that call for adapation and strategizing when change itself isn't the goal or is not a possible solution. Many clients seek support to find their way to the kind of personal understanding that enhances their confidence in being able to identity their needs and wants in ways that are the harbingers of the taking of the action required to create desired change or enhance personal coping strategies and to achieve personal, relationship, or career goals.
Some clients find that life coaching can also be very helpful in developing strategies to cope more effectively with on-going challenges in life as well.
As a life coach A.J. Mahari is an advocate of helping others to help and empower themselves by fostering and nurturing the liberation of each client's authentic inner self. As A.J. stresses, "The path of change for each individual is the change that they hunger for. It is the change that will further reveal each individual's own personal path of ever-increasing authenticity. Change is a constant in life. We are always learning, growing, healing, and changing. Developing a personal style of mastery with one's own change is not only a way to recover, heal, or grow, but it is the sacred path of spiritual change. It is the path upon which each soul seeks to leave its footprint in the ever-shifting sands of authentic self-actualization."
As a life coach I provide a caring, compassionate, safe, confidential, non judgemental, validating and
supportive relationship within which clients can feel empowered to explore their present-day needs. I
essentially act as a human mirror for my clients. I share with my clients an outside and unbiased
perspective as to what I observe in listening to their feelings, experiences, and concerns.
Personal Coaching is not counseling, therapy or consulting.
