"I learned to be really present"

Before this program I was pretty stuck! I am a legally blind woman, 45 years old, working as a massage therapist for 15 years. While I enjoyed making others feel better physically, as the years were passing by, I realized that my work was no longer feeding my soul! The best days I would have as a massage therapist were those where my clients would talk with me and seek out suggestions or a different perspective to enhance their lives. I really enjoyed being present with my clients, bantering back and forth about solutions to difficult issues they were facing. I went to college to become a psychologist but I quickly realized that wasn't really what a wanted to do. I didn't want to focus on past traumas, or deal with the medical industry. I wanted to make a real difference in my own life as well as in others lives. I loved the idea of life coaching so much because while you still have to dig into peoples pasts, the focus is more on behavioral changes to create a brighter, happier, more fulfilling future. I also really love the idea of doing something the not only helps myself but will also help humanity. Giving back to others has also been a joyous thing for me! I loved all I learned through this program and will continue to try to impact others lives in a healthy, positive, passionate manner.
