What is Leisure Coaching?

Leisure coaching focuses on leisure education, identifying your past and present leisure interests, and exploring your personal resources and skills thus helping you discover your inner strengths and passions.
Health generally refers to physical, mental and social well-being. The National Wellness Institute considers wellness as "an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward a more successful existence. Coaching also focuses on hobby development and identifying personal and community resources.

What is Recreation Therapy?

Much like other psychotherapies recreation therapy is a treatment approach to

restore a person's level of functioning and independence in life and promote health and wellness as well as reduce the barriers or limitations (depression, anxiety, a disability). While most therapies may use cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on both thoughts and behaviors, recreation therapist also uses integrative or holistic therapy with activity based interventions.

My approach in supporting you to achieve health and wellness is through identifying yours strengths and utilizing evidenced based holistic interventions such as expressive arts, mindfulness training and meditation, poetry, stress management, music and movement. We will also explore your social, physical, cognitive, and emotional needs, and a develop a plan of action to accomplish your goals. Below are some questions to ponder to decide if My Leisure Coach is right for you.

Are you ready to improve your quality of life and wellbeing?

Wouldn't it be great to wake up happy and live your life with passion and purpose and look forward to what life might bring that day? Many people do, but many struggle everyday with feelings of unhappiness and experience:

boredom

feelings of restlessness

anxiety

depression

loneliness

isolation

feeling alone

and may even be unhappy in their career

Human connectedness and living a robust leisure lifestyle is essential to achieving a sense of happiness and wellbeing. I believe that meeting our social, physical, emotional, and cognitive needs through activities and recreation is key.

The idea of having fun and experiencing joyfulness is hard to imagine during difficult times. Research shows there many benefits from participating in activities, but sometimes mustering up the motivation to make changes and create a more healthy lifestyle may seem impossible. But it is more than just "doing" hobbies. Having the perception of freedom of choice and the intrinsic motivation of creating experiences in your career while enjoying creative leisure, not only makes your day more enjoyable but can boost your productivity.

When you are focused and engaged in an activity and you are totally "free from compulsions" (not being compelled to pay bills, call work, or worrying about COVID) you have achieved a "state of leisure" or "flow". Discovering those activities you enjoy and being "in the moment" will improve your mood, decrease stress and anxiety, and you will truly nurture yourself.

My mission is to support others to improve and enrich the bio-psych-social and physical functioning of those living with depression, stress, chronic pain, social isolation, memory loss and grief and offer recreation therapy services and leisure coaching virtually. I am are committed to supporting our neighbors, friends, other healthcare providers, other recreational therapist and you, through workshops, groups, and 1:1 Zoom sessions. To keep fees affordable and services readily available, I do not take insurance and only private pay. I never let the cost of a service be a barrier. If you could benefit from the workshops/therapy sessions and the fee would be a hardship, please let me know.

Let's chat, and together we will begin to find purpose, passion and happiness in your life through leisure.
