WHAT IS HOLISTIC COACHING?
Coaching is a relatively new field that helps people to become the designers of their lives. Interestingly, most people go about life in an unconscious or semi-conscious way, on auto-pilot. They are reacting to events rather than creating a conscious direction. 
Coaches understand that if you have not taken control of your life, it is controlling you, based on random programs in the unconscious mind. A coach helps clients to take conscious control, step out of the herd, empower themselves, and learn to design their lives in more joyful and purposeful ways. Coaches help clients to discover possibilities that would otherwise remain beyond their wildest dreams.
In general, a coach is a partner who is committed to helping people to develop and implement their goals. The coach may function as a life coach, who focuses on all of the aspects of the client’s life.
WHAT IS A HOLISTIC COACH? -- TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING
A holistic coach is a person who is on the path to soulfully creating a magical, balanced, and fulfilling life, who partners with others who want to do the same. He or she takes joy in clients’ uniqueness, listens closely to help them to explore their greatest joy and excitement, and motivates them to make their dreams a reality. 
She enhances clients’ abilities to access and use their key strengths and purpose to intentionally design their lives. This approach can be broadly applied to different occupations and coaching needs, because it focuses on creating a whole life.
Traditional approaches to coaching largely overlook the importance of overcoming interference and addressing the inner obstacles that hold us all in limitation to greater or lesser degrees. 
Awakenings' holistic approach incorporates powerful healing processes that can save months or even years of frustration with overcoming obstacles. 
It also connects us with the miraculous nature of our reality, where anything is possible and miracles are happening all around us. Such transformational coaching requires us to be open, flexible learners. We need to step outside our comfort zones, which is where we are now, to do things differently and thus create different results.
THE FOCUS OF COACHING VS. THERAPY AND COUNSELING
Therapists and counselors are recognized as experts who focus largely on cleaning up and completing old issues. Coaching takes a different approach, reaching into the magical realms of manifestation, designing one’s life, and forwarding action to realize one’s dreams. 
Coaches act as partners, helping clients to recognize their own abilities to find the right direction and to address challenges along the way. Therapists may also work with clients with mental illness, which coaches do not. Coaching clients are people with normal challenges and unfulfilled dreams.
Coaches are work in progress. They are in-the-making models of what it means to fully learn, be fully effective, and be on the path to creating a more joyful and fulfilling life. Therapists only model living normally. 
As a note, we all know that even the best coach is human, with inherent frailties and with new vistas to explore on the journey to wholeness. Staying on the journey and experiencing the joy and excitement of being in the process of realizing our dreams and purpose is part of what we model for our clients.
SPIRITUAL LIFE COACHING
For us, coaching is tuning into the spiritual journey, helping people to discover and embrace the magnificence of their true identities, to bring spirit fully into form.
Seeking is an integral part of who we are. Whether we realize it or not, we are on a quest. Holistic/spiritual coaching puts life into the context of this quest, where we connect with the divine wisdom of the soul as our guide. 
A coach views the challenges his/her clients encounter as synchronous opportunities for expansion and transformation. He or she enables clients to progress in miraculous ways by drawing on spiritual resources they never knew existed. These resources are within themselves and align with the synchronous flow of the universe.
Holistic Coaching helps clients to move into a different reality, where they can tune into their magnificence. The coach listens, motivates, and takes delight in exploring the client’s dreams and true identity. 
WHAT IS A SPIRITUAL COACH?

Want to learn about an approach to coaching that is both profound and practical?
Everyone has heard of coaching. But you may not know much about spiritual coaches. Coaches now help people to make miracles happen in all areas of life with life coaching, success coaching, performance coaching, holistic coaching, and spiritual coaching, to name just a few.
The emergence of the fields of holistic and spiritual coaching has helped untold numbers of people to create lives that transcend their previous limits. Miracles become daily occurrences as we learn to bring spirit into form.
What Makes Holistic and Spiritual Coaching Unique?
Seeking is an integral part of who we are. Whether we realize it or not, we are on a quest.
Holistic and spiritual coaching put life into the context of this quest, where we connect with the divine wisdom as our guide. A holistic spiritual coach views the challenges his/her clients encounter as synchronous opportunities for expansion and transformation. This enables clients to progress in miraculous ways by drawing on inner resources they don’t yet realize they have.
The Role of a Spiritual Coach
From a spiritual perspective, there are no limits to what is possible. The essence of the spiritual journey involves overcoming boundaries we place on ourselves and our possibilities. This opens us to the infinite, where anything is possible, where you can truly create the life of your dreams. The process of spiritual unfolding is also holistic, embracing the body, emotions, mind, and spirit.
Here are five illuminating services a spiritual coach provides:
1. Helping clients to believe in themselves. When we understand ourselves as spiritual beings having a physical experience, we also recognize that we are magnificent individuals with infinite potential. When this happens, life takes on new meaning.
2. Showing clients how to take control of their lives. Most people are running on auto-pilot, controlled by what they have been taught to believe and what others expect of them. For their magnificence to blossom, they have to take control and change course.
3. Teaching clients to understand their life purpose. Spiritually, each of us is here for a reason, with magnificent gifts to share. Learning about us and learning to live in harmony with our purpose is a tremendous gift.
4. Guiding clients to realize their purpose. This involves setting goals and taking action to realize their dreams. As they do this, life truly takes on new meaning.
5. Uplifting clients to live to the fullest. Think about the joy of feeling excited about being alive each day and moving toward your brightest possible future. This is a gift you can give to yourself.
The essence of spiritual coaching is tuning into the spiritual journey, helping people to discover and embrace the magnificence of their true identities, and to bring spirit fully into form.
