Could you use a little Wonder? Consider me your white rabbit.

So, what is whimsy coaching?
It’s not all fun and games (though there will be lots of those.) Coaching isn’t therapy and I’m not Dr. Phil, yo’ momma or your friendly local play therapist. Play therapy is a directed journey through deep-rooted or lingering psychological issues. Coaching is a crash course in self-directed recovery from the “icks,” “ughs” and “sniffles” of life. And when it comes to getting you out of a rut, consider me your white rabbit of whimsy. I can point you in the right direction, but how you get there and what you do once you are in your individual Wonderland is entirely up to you.
(Free advice: I strongly advise against consuming any products marked “Eat Me” or “Drink Me.” Don’t be an airhead, Alice.)
I specialize in working with the following:
- people who “got serious” and now can’t get back out
- recovering victims of “Peter Pan Syndrome,” “Lost Boy-itis,” or the dreaded “Wendy Virus”
- worker bees who won the rat race only to find there’s no shiny prize waiting at the finish line
- entrepreneurs who are living their dream lives, but aren’t having any damn fun
- involuntary Mayors of “Blahland,” “Ennuitown,” or “Mehville”
- generation X,Y, and Z-ers who scoff at self-help books (but secretly wonder what they say)
- people who want to deal with real-life hardships in a non-traditional, uplifting way
Are we a good fit? (or, Annie in a nutshell)
I tell it like it is – and occasionally package it in pop culture references. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. I skip to the beat of my own drummer whether or not people are watching. I am a Positive Psychology devotee/nut. I subscribe to the philosophies of Joy and Fun. I’ve been described as “sasstastic.” I wholeheartedly believe in silver linings, fairy tale endings, and laughing until Diet Coke comes out of your nose.

Down the Rabbit-Hole – An Exploration
In this one-hour introductory session (via Skype or phone) we’ll get a good, warm, fuzzy feel for each other, clarify the focus of our quest for whimsy, discuss your scheduling, and establish an action plan. You’ll receive a “Whimsy One-Sheet” to complete before our chat so we can get right to the good stuff.*
Through the Looking Glass- Monthly Packages
After our initial call, coaching sessions are available in once, twice, or thrice a month frequencies. All coaching options include e-mail support between calls and a weekly whimsyinducer (homework is such an icky word).
*Specialized courses are also offered in conjunction with my Pop-Ease series of workbooks.
