We as a society are often disconnected from our bodies. We are being pulled in many directions due to stress, life, family, work etc. and worry and ruminate about things that are out of our control. We are either living in the past, the future and very rarely are we living in the present.

Because we are living outside of our bodies, we sometimes ignore the messages that it sends, telling us that something is “wrong”. And we only notice when we experience symptoms such as pain, sleep disturbances, headaches, anxiety, depression, or grief.

Sankofa Massage & Coaching will give you the tools to heal, recover and reconnect with your yourself through massage and bodywork while creating positive mindset shifts through coaching.

MY APPROACH

Drawing from 20 years of coaching, teaching and mentoring, I’ve developed an integrative approach to coaching that encompasses my nursing background, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, bodywork and my own trauma history.

My job is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where we will work on a customizable plan together. We will strategize through powerful conversations to help you gain clarity on your desired goals, where you are, where you’d like to be and create action steps to get you there. Through Trauma Recovery Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), we will work together and focus on where you are today. I don’t need to know your past to help you get to where you want to be.

You will be given the tools and skills to reprogram and shift your mindset from limiting beliefs, behaviors and emotions by taking small, consistent and deliberate action steps to help you reach your goals, form new beliefs, behaviors and emotions. When we incorporate the coaching dialogue to the massage and bodywork sessions, we will explore where you have pain, discomfort and stuck holding patterns in your body. The sessions focus on the body-mind connection with the idea that once the symptoms are resolved, it creates space in your body to be present within your body and profound emotional awareness.

By blending a variety of coaching techniques, you will be shown the tools and given the resources to help create positive and lasting change for the ultimate body- mind transformation. I believe we have the answers within ourselves, sometimes we simply need a little help uncovering them. Change can be difficult but I will be there to walk beside you every step of the way!

 
 

ARE YOU READY TO INVEST IN YOURSELF?

I offer two programs each are a minimum of 3 months in length. During our strategy call and from the two program offerings, we will formulate which program best fits your needs.

Q: What is a certified trauma informed coach?

To put it simply, a certified trauma informed coach is a life coach that has been through special training in the different areas of trauma with the understanding of their symptoms, how trauma impacts the brain-body connection, your thoughts, behaviors, the ability to function on a daily basis, how it impacts your relationships and the inability to set or accomplish goals. Trauma informed coaches can work with client who have a history of racial and systematic trauma, history of child abuse, neglect, sexual assault, domestic abuse (emotional, narcissistic/ toxic relationships), workplace bullying and etc. We’ve all experienced trauma, it’s how we process it that determines whether or not we will experience long term effects. Trauma changes the way we think, feel, perceive the world around us and is stored in our tissues. If not released or processed, it can cause muscle pain, digestive issues, autoimmune disorders and other health issues.

Q: Do I have to retell my story?

No. I do not need to know your trauma history in order for us to work together. Depending where you are in your healing journey, retelling your history can be exhausting and triggering. My job is to meet you where you are today, help you reach your goals so you can live up to your fullest potential while understanding that your trauma history may impact how you move forward in life. The symptoms that you are experiencing from a traumatic event is a normal reaction to an abnormal event. If you feel the need to share your history due to it impeding your ability to move forward, I will hold space and listen. I may ask about how this impacts your ability to progress with your goals especially when it comes to behaviors, patterns and thoughts. I will guide you on how to heal and recover but I am careful not to diagnose or stay in your past as this is an area to share with your therapist.

Q: How is coaching different from therapy?

As your coach, I do not diagnose, prescribe medications or help you to process your trauma. My role is not to explore the past but is instead to provide you with the tools and resources to help you heal, transform obstacles into opportunities, helping you to see the possibilities and take action so that you can live your best life, achieve your goals and aspirations. Please know that you can have coaching and therapy at the same time.

Q: How long do clients work with a coach?

Change does not occur overnight. In order to receive the maximum benefit and long-term habits, my programs are designed for a commitment of 3-6 months at a minimum to start. We will work together as long as our relationship brings you progress and value. Then we’ll re-evaluate the options as you reach your goals.

Q: Do you guarantee results?

No. I do not guarantee results that part is up to you. I can provide you with the tools and resources but if you don’t do the work, change will be slow or not happen at all.

Q: Where would I meet with my coach?

Depending on the program, coaching sessions are conducted virtually or in person.

Q: How long are the coaching session?

Each session is 60 minutes in length. I ask that you come prepared prior to our meeting with an idea of what you want to address so that you get the most of your time.
