THINGS YOU MIGHT BE ASKED TO SIGN AS A COACHING CLIENT


If you've never had a coach before, which most people have not, you might be surprised at the documents you'll be asked to sign. These pages and contracts have been modified over the years as coaching has become more of a well-known practice.



The first document you may encounter is the; What coaching is compared to other forms of help form. You may receive a definition of the coach and coaching and what it is or isn't, like the one below.




  • Welcome to Whole Human Healthy a place for Spiritual and Primal Body Coaching and Deep Intuitive Healings. We are happy you have chosen us as co-creators for your highest good. It is important that we begin our time together with a clear understanding of our roles, so that we can dive right into guiding, healing, and helping you achiever your goals.



  • Definition of Coaching: This is a professional partnership in which we work together to clarify areas that you would like to improve and work toward to achieve your desired outcomes. Coaching is distinct form consulting in that you come up with your own ideas and answers rather than being given advice. Coaching is separate from therapy in that we begin where you are in the NOW. We will dive into obstacles that are keeping you from moving forward in the now, but we will not engage in therapy or any psychological area. We do have great therapists and psychologists as referrals if that is needed. 






The next form you might see is a fee and appointments expectation form:




  • Fees and Payments: We prefer cash or check. The fee for WHH coaching is $160/hour. We have packages at $420/3 Sessions ($140/s)  and $600/5 Sessions ($120/s). Packages must be paid upfront in full. 



  • Keeping Appointments and Time Slots: We encourage you to keep your appointments and schedule them regularly. This may look like once a week or once a month, but whatever timeframe you choose, it's best to keep it the same throughout our coaching relationship. This ensures your best growth and creates a known schedule for you to complete the homework. 



  • Missed Appointments: You have made a beautiful commitment to yourself and to us. Healing and growth occur with consistency, and so it is vital that you keep your regular appointments in order to achieve your energetic and physical goals. We understand emergencies happen. If this is the case, please alert us as soon as possible so that we can be of support to you and reschedule our appointment. For all other missed appointments, the full charge will be applied, unless contacted 24 hours in advance. This goes the same for us. If we miss an appointment without notifying you within 24 hours, you will receive one free session. If you are late for an appointment, sorry but we must end on the scheduled time.






You might get a Coach & Client Responsibilities & Confidentiality Form:





  • As Spiritual and Primal Human Wholeness Coaches, we will create a professional partnership where you feel safe, comfortable, and in control of your spiritual body and primal body energies at all times. All that you share with us will be held as confidential.

We believe you have the life's answers you seek ~
    within you. We believe you hold the knowledge on how to heal yourself. We are purely guides and the bridge between your forgotten knowing's and your awakening back to remembering.

You may also be asked to sign waivers: 



  • These may range depending on what type of coaching you are signing up to receive. Some coaches work with plant medicines, teas, chocolate, massage, dance, drumming, art and body work. The waivers will fit their expertise. 



You may be asked to sign a communications statement:





  • I agree to communicate openly and honestly. I agree to use my sessions in a professional and coachable manner. 

  • I agree to use email as my primary form of contact with my coach.

  • I agree to use my journal to keep all of my ideas and thoughts in between sessions.

  • I understand that if I contact my coach outside of my session time, I will be billed in 15-minute blocks of time.

  • I will not text or phone call my coach unless it is an emergency. 



And lastly, you may have to sign a copyright form:






  • During our coaching sessions, I may assign you materials that are copyrighted by ________. The coach will list those books, papers, materials in this section. Remember that your coach paid for, and took time to take classes and or sessions from guides, teachers, healers, and gurus. They have been okayed to use certain materials with their clients. This does not mean that clients can take materials and pass them onto their friends or their clients. 






Coaching is rewarding, fun, playful, serious and real character work! Once we get the paper work out of the way, we all settle into our sessions with pure-heart focus. We hope this helps get you ready and lesson any fears of becoming a coaching client.






GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR COACHING EXPERIENCE


Say, you've never had a coach before; this might stop you from trying one on and curtailing your growth. Coaching doesn't have to be intimidating and can be a fulfilling and shift-changing experience from the very first meeting....but how?



Before you choose a coach take some time to do these steps:




  • meditate on why you're wanting or feeling a need for a coach

  • jot down 3 immediate issues or ideas you want to be coached on or change

  • write out how, if these things were different, would your life look

  • note how you would feel if these 3 things were exactly how you'd like

  • ask yourself what has kept you from making these changes

  • ask yourself what's in the way of you now

  • what will it look like in a year if you do not make these changes

  • note how you would feel if a year from now, you have not changed



Once you've written these out - with a pen, not digital. There are many reasons why it's more helpful to you using pen and pad....but just trust us and do it this way for this exercise. This is you being coachable - wink. wink.





Next ask yourself these questions:





  • What do you want to work on first in the initial session with your coach

  • Would it be comforting to have a coach you can talk with

  • Do you believe you are coachable

  • Do you want to change and grow

  • Would being held accountable help you hit your goals

  • Will releasing old trauma, limiting beliefs, and perceptions help you grow

  • Would connecting to your spirituality, God, or Higher Self help you unravel doubts

  • Would finding more spiritual ways to resolving conflicts give you peace

  • Would you like to become less reactive and more centered

  • Would you like to understand yourself better



Once you have these questions answered, reread them. Do any of your answers stand out? How do you feel about what you describe or need? Would a coach be able to help you with these things?






This is when you must dive deep into yourself. If you're stuck, feeling a loss of control, unhappy about a relationship or unhappy with your career -- it's time to ask for help. There are all sorts of help out there - anyone from a close friend, to journaling, working with a coach, talking with a psychologist, releasing with a religious figure, artwork, and reading, to doing nothing at all and hoping for a better outcome. You have choices. 





It's time to ask yourself which one fits. You can do this by placing your hand on your heart and allowing yourself to feel into what you need. No answer is wrong. You may need to change your diet, sleep habits, or organization. You might need to dive deep into past trauma with a psychologist. You could journal through these transitions and questions. Or you might want to try out a coach and see what that's like. 





What you do need to do above all else is listen to yourself. Listen to that deep truth inside of you. And if you're a YES for coaching, we're here. Reach out.

KEEP ANY HOLIDAY SIMPLE TO STAY PRESENT


HOLIDAY CHEER⁠

KISS = Keep it simple, stupid.




Not at all calling you stupid, but the holiday collective seems to be. Not just November and December holidays, but the whole year seems to be wrapped up in lower vibrations when it comes to what should be celebration in the upper realms.



What can you do? Allow this Holiday Season to hold you, too. Many of us are doers -- must get it all done - types. This taxes our physical and emotional bodies. Feeling overwhelmed with too much to do, too much to see, too many places to go frazzles our insides and causes stress. Relax into this holiday season now and for the new year. Be fully present with yourself and your loved ones.⁠ And check in with yourself often to see if you're doing what is in alignment with you or not.

You have permission to take a bath with candles, put your feet up and watch a show, not bake those cookies, not lick stamps, ignore texts and emails, hug your loved ones and lean into it fully, not buy that one last gift, hug yourself and know you are enough. Bring yourself inner cheer by allowing down-time. ⁠You don't have to write thank you notes or any cards at all. You can just say, "Thanks," and let that be enough.

You have permission to notice the beauty all around you - the lights, snow, rain, trees, people, wild animals, pets, decorations, warm coffee shops, smiles from strangers, singing, church bells, and the sun and the moon.⁠

You have permission to open your heart with love, joy, honesty, faith, playfulness, celebration as well as sadness, despair, anger, fear, and doubt. ⁠

You have permission to feel all things, to receive and give, to rest and play, to be there and be isolated. ⁠

Holiday Cheer comes from within - not without. Allow yourself to have permission to feel and do what is right for you. You are loved and wanted here for what you are feeling and doing now.⁠

Happy Holiday from now and until next time.




Take care of yourself so that you can be fully embodied and fully here for yourself and others.

HOW TO ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS









A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON TOTEMS


TOTEM⁠S have been studied and looked at before, but a download from a deep meditation has opened me up to a new perspective on my totems. Which I'm willing to share.

Sometimes when we are younger a trauma occurs, and our soul shatters. When this happens, helpers come along to save our young-selves. They shelter those young parts that could not hold that traumatic experience alone. ⁠The gather them up and keep them safe, like a dog collecting toys in her bed.

I call these helpers and protectors TOTEMS. This is a new way of looking at the spirit animals that come to you in dreams, meditations, and cross your path in the 3D world. ⁠




This is how I came to understand my totems and what they have done to protect me.

I had a trauma at a young age. During that experience, I shattered. My energy split and raced out of my body in many different directions. Too fast for my young body to understand. As it did, my Totems caught that energy. They held onto those pieces of me, those pieces too fragile to handle the situation, and kept them safe. They held them dear until I was aware enough to integrate them back into my wholeness again.⁠

Become aware of the animals that come to you , whether in dreams, meditations, or in life. What pieces of you might they be holding for safekeeping? And are you ready to accept those back? ⁠

There are ancient rights and soul retrievals to help you with this process. We are here to guide you safely home to wholeness.




When you're ready.



You are not alone.⁠

HOW TO FIND YOUR CORE AND YOURSELF


Where is your CENTER?⁠

Knowing yourself is knowing your center. Do you know yours? If you're wondering what I'm talking about, then no, right now you don't.⁠

Your center is the place inside of you that knows. It knows what you're a YES for and it knows what you're a NO for. But sometimes we choose not to listen to it. We allow the shoulds to should all over us.⁠ We allow others to tell us what to feel, who we should be, how we should dress, and act.

How can you stop living your life for others, but be a good helpful person, and strongly aligned with your center?⁠




This starts with recognizing your goodness. That you are Holy. That you are a loving and kind person - no matter the mistakes you might have made.

Find yourself. This is essential - your number one job to do and the toughest thing to try because we are torn in many directions by multiple obligations and people which pull us from our core. ⁠And without much training from elders, we are confused and don't know how to remain stable in our own core when someone else needs, directs, or becomes aggressive toward us.

So, how do you find yourself? ⁠



Meditate. Meditate. Meditate - then Meditate more. I mean it. No more I-don't-have-time-for-that excuses. You MUST meditate - Meditate with openness, not expectations. ⁠This is will truly be a turning point for you in your quest for self-understanding and self-love. Meditate (or as some call it, Pray) with love, openness, thankfulness, and ask for guidance.


This is not to be confused with asking for someone outside of yourself to fix your life. That is a childish way of living in the world and you are ready to move on from that first teaching. Praying or Meditating in a mature way is to ask yourself what you need, to rely on yourself for love and guidance, to mature into your ancient knowings and relate them to your life in the NOW.


Once you meditate and have your core - start to ask it questions to re-introduce yourself to it. Start with easy ones "Hi, core, Angie here, do I want gluten free pizza?" If I lean back it's a NO. "Or fish for dinner?" If I lean forward it's a YES. Play with this until you feel you know it's yes and no ways of communicating with you.⁠

Then honor it.




You are important. I promise you, that if you continue to ignore your core, you will feel drained, get sick, depressed, and resentful toward others. This in no way helps anyone. Know your NO's and honor them just as you honor your YES's. You will be a happier person and in turn you will treat others with kindness. ⁠

You are worth knowing yourself and honoring yourself.⁠

CURIOUS ABOUT SACRED 12 AROUND THE ONE?


12 around the 1⁠



When you start to notice this sacred geometry, you'll see it everywhere. And you'll wonder where your awareness has been for so long.

12 around 1 is source consciousness. 12 = 1 + 2 = 3 the Holy Trinity.⁠

There are many places where we see the number 12 around the 1. Think clocks for a great visual -- 12 hours around the mid circle. Then think of the zodiac, the months in a year, and the flower of life. ⁠

12 around the 1 is seen in artwork and has been created in ancient architecture. ⁠It's in old church stained glass windows. You'll find it around the world, hidden in plain sight.

Question what 12 around the 1 means to you. Meditate on it, even if you don't quite understand it's meaning yet. When I first heard of 12 around 1, I was in Paris, studying with Shamans, Teachers, and Facilitators from many countries. They spoke extensively on the 12 around 1 sacred geometry and the flower of life. ⁠

This is just a quick peek under the blanket of our illusionary reality -- but once it gets in your head, I promise, you'll see 12 around 1 everywhere.

There are clues to your purpose all around you -- and bigger clues still to the Universe. It's all a game -- start searching for the clues.




Have fun!!⁠
