Soul-Centered Coaching
|
You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You are a soul and you have a body. You are a divine and eternal soul engaged in a temporary human experience. And you have the freedom to choose, moment-by-moment, to live from a place of unconditional love, joy, peace and compassion, which is your true essence.

We Want to Feel Better
Our desire to change outer circumstances is usually a function of wanting to feel better. We attempt to change circumstances because we think it will make us happier. If only that important “someone” would change, if we could find that better job, earn more money, own the next "thing” that has captured our attention, be in better shape, or achieve success in whatever way we’ve defined it, then we’d be happy, right? Most of us have been taught that this is the path to happiness. It’s not.
Where to Find True Happiness
True happiness has very little to do with outer circumstances and everything to do with how we are being inside ourselves from moment to moment as we move through the world. This is why being in touch with our divine essence is the focus of soul-centered coaching. Our essence is already peaceful, joyous, grateful, compassionate, kind, generous, and loving. We don’t have to become these qualities. We are these qualities! When we are in touch with our own divine essence, we bring our satisfaction to life instead of asking life to satisfy us. So how can we discover and be in touch with our true essence in an ongoing way? By removing what's in the way, through clarifying and healing the misinterpretations, patterns, judgments and beliefs that are the source of our confusion and unnecessary suffering.
My parents used to argue and fight when I was growing up. I remember one night in particular. Their screaming got so loud, I ran inside my closet and slid the door closed. Huddled in the corner like an earthquake duck-and-cover victim, I begged God to please send an angel to save me. I was afraid my father would kill my mother, and then kill me. I woke up the next morning in a fetal position on the closet floor.
It was only when I did my inner work decades later that I fully understood how seven-year-old Irene had interpreted the event:
-It's my fault that my parents are fighting.
-I should be able to fix their relationship and make it better.
-Since I can't make it better, I must not be good enough.
-God didn't send an angel to save me because I'm bad.
-God must not love me because I'm unlovable.
When misinterpretations like these become part of our unconscious belief system, we can spend the rest of our lives proving ourselves right! I suffered for decades, believing that I was unlovable, inadequate and unworthy. When I was able to see this event from my soul's perspective (without judgment and with loving compassion), I recognized that the misinterpretations were made by a child who was doing her best to make sense of her world. I was able to bring love to the parts inside that were hurting and to create a space for healing to occur. I chose new beliefs that more accurately reflected the truth.
How to Be Happy
Soul-centered coaching shows us how to release and heal what no longer serves us. Once we’ve cleared some space, we are free to choose beliefs that are in alignment with our true nature. We learn to reframe events we've deemed "bad" into learning opportunities that facilitate our own conscious evolution. We see life with new eyes.
A Soul Centered Approach
Because I am in touch with my own loving essence, I know that you, too, have the same loving essence—regardless of whether you're in touch with it or not, and regardless of your actions and behaviors. As your facilitator, you can count on me to listen respectfully, compassionately, and to check understanding—so that you experience being fully heard. I will be present with you in a way that is deeply nourishing and soul-satisfying, and assist you in identifying and releasing the judgments, patterns, misconceptions and limiting beliefs that are the source of unnecessary suffering. I will provide a space of unconditional acceptance as we explore your challenges from a spiritual perspective, which elevates consciousness and allows you to gain insight. Our relationship, built on respect, trust and love, will provide you with the space you need to resolve your own issues.

Testimonials
“It is rare to find a coach who can move smoothly and intelligently between the roles of guide, mentor, spiritual sister, professional, shaman, mystic and space holder, but Irene seems to do this. Irene is a teacher’s teacher, a guide’s guide. When events happened that took my breath away and folded me over with grief and bewilderment, I was able to call on her to help me find the wisdom and plan of action necessary to begin my family’s healing. I was especially touched that she thought to contact her friend and colleague on my behalf for insight around our family’s specific issue. I have great respect for anyone willing to share their personal story in the hope that it may help someone else and Irene does this most effectively.”
-Beverly D., Memphis, TN
"Irene was astute, compassionate, pragmatic, efficient, and fearless in her work with me. She utilized her expertise to lead me into a truly empowering and inspiring experience. Without judgment or bias, she went with me, through and under the problematic patterns affecting the concerns I brought to her, and adeptly guided me into a freer perspective directly relevant to my deeper desires. Irene has a marvelous ability to be fully present and hear the smaller voices calling out to be heard, offering them the opportunity to find their place in a solution that does not require sacrifice of either practical or soulful needs."
-Cinda C., MS, MDiv, MFT, Oregon
