    Create a Life You Love

     

     

    Whether we want a monumental shift in our lives or small course corrections in specific areas, attention to the inner world is where it begins.

     

    When we see that at our core we are whole, complete, resilient, capable and eminently deserving of transformation, then we can begin to focus on giving expression to our inner wisdom through radical self-compassion and self-love. 

     

    When we stop seeing life as a series of wrong decisions or painful traumas that we must endure, we can begin to see that the difficult experiences of our lives will teach us so much if we shift focus from life happening “to me” to life happening “for me.” Then, the good inherent in us will radiate out into the physical world.

    Why Coaching?

     

     

    Creating a life that thrives based on inner passion begins with nurturing behaviors and patterns that support our visions, and then challenging beliefs, sometimes unconsciously held, that no longer serve.

     

    This process requires courage and tenacity and is best accomplished with a witness, a guide, someone to reflect back the deeper truths that exist inside of us and also to hold us accountable for the behaviors that will sabotage personal growth.

     

    Through discussion, writing, contemplation, homework assignments, and various other techniques, we will examine old stories and craft new ones in order to be congruent with where we want to reside inside ourselves.

     

    Each person has an inner diamond that, when allowed, will shine a bright light of healing and wisdom.

     

    Speak truth. Heal the self. Whole universes await.

    Consultation

    First let's talk during a complimentary session. I am currently coaching online only.  I'll ask questions, and together we can identify what's important to you and where in your life you are looking for shifts or new directions. If we're a good fit, then we'd move forward in programs of 3 or 6 months depending on what best fits the scope of your needs.

    Dream Big

     

    I am always honored and grateful to bear witness, to hold in the energy of transformation, to partner in the process of emotional and spiritual alchemy that will lead to simple but effective actions in the direction of our dreams and deepest desires.

  • About Me

    I have spent a lifetime in the pursuit of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Childhood traumas nearly overwhelmed me, but I sought out healers, shamans, mystics, rabbis, ministers, therapists, and coaches to help me, each with a different focus and specialty, but what they all had in common was they each supported me in opening myself to a kind and gentle voice inside that urged me to treat myself with the love and respect that I desired and had misplaced the seeking of in the external world. I began to recognize that my defensive actions were triggered by shame, and when I gave voice to those shames, saying them out loud, sharing them with others, over time they lost their force and hold on me. I began to hold my own suffering with as much reverence and tenderness as I felt in a moment of joy, say watching a sunrise or holding a puppy, and my life began to flow with the presence and guidance of my own heart. I centered myself in the loving presence outside of duality. After many years as a finance professional for film and television, I have moved in the direction of supporting others using my own intuitive guidance and the many skills I have learned along the way. I love inspiring others to find their North Star, the core at the heart of their own loving presence.

     

    I completed my undergraduate degree in Literature from UC Berkeley and a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology with an emphasis in Consciousness, Health & Healing from USM. I have taken an abundance of classes in Mysticism, Meditation, and Prayer, often at the Agape Spiritual Center in Los Angeles and have been a lifelong student of healing, alchemy, and spirituality. I currently live in Santa Fe, and I am especially fond of poetry, black tea, felines, wolves, math, and copious numbers of trees.


     

    “When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can’t make them change if they don’t want to, just like when they do want to, you can’t stop them.” ― Andy Warhol

     

  • Testimonials

     

    In every conversation with Alicia, I feel heard and witnessed in a deep and heartfelt way. In her thoughtful manner, Alicia has unique insights and wisdom to share. Some of her phrases I return to again and again. She offers fresh perspectives and tools after careful listening which have supported my own personal development and emotional and spiritual empowerment. I love her perspectives and highly recommend her as a coach. She’s a rock star.

    I often find myself repeating Alicia’s wisdom and sage advice to myself as well as to friends and family, and then writing it into my creative work. Alicia believes in you first, and over time, you come to see what she sees. She is both big picture and practical concerns, both spirit and matter. I would recommend many a conversation with this wise and gracious woman, who sees the world through such beautiful eyes, such a wide heart.

    Jenn's Poem, "Dear Alicia"

     

     

    Alicia is one of the wise ones. I really do think the reason she has been put on the earth is to help us all transform our shadow into miraculous, brilliant light. She sees things that everyone else misses, including myself, and then has the ability to cut to the core of difficulties with scalpel precision. She has mastered the art of being present, and her uncanny ear will hear and reflect back truths you didn’t even realize you said. She can sit with you in the depths, for as long as it takes, and gently and lovingly guide you to look upward once again. She has reconstructed her own life into one of joy and radiant self-expression, and she takes great fulfillment in sharing the roadmap. She has been a rare gift, a true angel, a healer of the most profound order, and anyone who enjoys the grace of sitting in circle with her will be forever grateful!

    Alicia is warm, open, and perceptive. I’m a nervous talker, and she put me at ease right away. She was able to extract the nugget of truth from my ramblings and hand it back to me in a way that was wise, precise, and pleasantly surprising! The gentle questions she asked during our session were truly helpful, and I know I will go back to my notes again and again as I settle into some life changes. I believe our session opened windows in my mind so I could see possibilities from a different angle. I felt valued, affirmed, and also challenged to move forward.

    My initial coaching session with Alicia allowed me to slow down and take a look at some beliefs I was holding underneath behaviors that weren't serving me. She gently and with great focus reflected perceptions from angles I hadn't considered and expertly guided me through exploring next steps to move forward. Alicia helped me set up a system for accountability so that I can move into the agreements with myself confidently and manageably without overwhelm. I feel so much more clear and relieved and I'm looking forward to my next session.
