COACHING AGREEMENT

This coaching agreement constitutes an understanding whereby the Coach agrees to provide Coaching Services for the Client. 


Description of Coaching: Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to realize and maximize their innate potential. Our coaching is designed to help others navigate the internal journey of Awakening and integrate new understandings brought about through awakening into their external life.

Our coaching is also focused on facilitating the process of inner work and conscious co-creation with the universe. It is designed to empower clients to create and embody a vision for their life and to develop the internal tools, systems, and mindset to actualize that vision. Awakening is a holistic process that leads to internal growth and expansion in every area of your life that is directly proportionate to your commitment to the process. Our awakening coaching is intended to help our client’s begin to live more consciously and intentionally, integrating their awakened state into any aspect of life including: personal, professional, emotional, spiritual, relationships, or all of the above.
