Frequently asked questions about
Life Coaching
What is life coaching?
Life coaching is a collaborative, forward-focused process that supports you in clarifying your purpose, overcoming obstacles, and stepping into the life God is calling you to live. Rooted in both biblical principles and a trauma-informed understanding of personal growth, our coaching approach honors your whole story—past and present—while helping you move forward with intention and faith.
What is Trauma?
Trauma is not just what happens to us — it's also how our mind, body, and emotions respond to overwhelming or distressing experiences. These experiences can range from a single event, like an accident or loss, to ongoing situations such as neglect, abuse, or chronic stress.
Trauma Can Look Like:
Feeling “stuck” in certain thought patterns or emotions
Avoiding places, people, or memories tied to the event
Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe
Physical symptoms like fatigue, tension, or restlessness
A sense of disconnection from yourself or others
Everyone’s experience of trauma is unique. Some people may not even realize certain experiences were traumatic until later in life when the effects begin to surface.
At Mindful Coaching & Counseling, we provide a supportive, non-clinical space where we can work together to identify how past experiences may be impacting your present — and build tools to move forward with clarity, purpose, and self-compassion.
