"As an experienced therapist, I cannot say I was able to help my clients as effectively as I am now"

I had already been teaching and coaching as a therapist for over 20 years. During the pandemic, I started a simple personal health journey. Exercise and eating healthfully became my utmost priority to be consistent with. I was so determined that coworkers and friends were curious and very supportive of any self-health project I did. It made me wonder how others can transform their health with me. 
Each project became the catalyst for another new and exciting endeavor. The result: I became a Zumba Instructor, Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Certified Personal Trainer, and Certified Nutrition Coach, and pursued other licenses. As I worked with each client and trainee, I realized that I’ve always had a burning passion to help develop the quality of life of anyone I encountered.
I began researching how to become a Certified Life Coach with an accredited company. In between time, I joined MindValley to take the Silva Ultramind System Quest. The ad on social media piqued my interest. I remembered through my studies that behavior change starts in the mind. After joining MindValley and completing that quest along with some other quests, an ad for “Life Coach” popped up on my MindValley feed. “Voila”! Wow! Let us talk about synchronicities and being at the right place at the right time.
As an experienced therapist, I cannot say I was able to help my clients as effectively as I am now. I wasn’t even able to help myself as much as I am, now, having taken the Certified Life Coach program. Of course, I’ve had formal education in behavior change techniques but now I truly understand the inner workings of the techniques I was taught years ago. My mind also transformed with new techniques under my belt, and I believe is still transforming thanks to everything that I am learning with MindValley. For this I am truly appreciative, thankful, and don’t mind sharing with others.
