WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE BELIEVE

 

We started this business to not only help people reach their goals, but to help them feel amazing while they do it, with opportunities for growth in all aspects of their life. We believe in the integrity of the process, working hard but taking it slow, and doing so without the stress induced pressure people put on themselves. Each individual starts out with a detailed intake process to make sure you feel comfortable and heard. We seek to understand each client as a complete person, to know what your goals are, and how you want to reach them. Our mission is to get you to your goal in a way that is life giving and life sustaining. To be able to embrace the process and all of its challenges while feeling in balance your body, mind, and spirit. We believe the process, and all the work you put in to it, should improve your overall quality of life. All of our work is done in a client centered, client driven process designed around you, where you are at, and where you want to go (and sometimes the "where" is discovered during the process!). core tenants that serve as the foundation of all our work:

 

1. Awareness: We believe that self actualization starts within. That process begins with deepening one's level of self-awareness. Awareness of who we are, why we do what we do, how past wounds may still impact us, the masks we wear in our life and why. We believe the process of self-awareness is about learning to be honest with yourself and to accept yourself fo who you truly are. To undergo self-critique while always maintaining a willingness to learn and grow.

2. Humility: Honest self-assessment and critique are difficult if we are in a place where we feel we have no more to learn, no room to grow, no weaknesses, no edges, no masks. The journey within stats with humility so that we can accept ourselves for who we are, and then work honestly to move towards becoming who we want to be.

3. Strength: It takes strength to learn from our mistakes and use those lessons to grow and monitor our thoughts, which in turn impact our emotions. The journey within requires mental focus, self-control, and discipline. These things require strength in the moment to be aware of what we are thinking and feeling and then to use the tools we have within ourselves to control our thoughts and emotions in order to help us achieve our goals.

4. Courage: When we are able to maintain our focus, control our thoughts and emotions, and not allow ourselves to be impacted by people and events outside of ourself (things we can not control), we can then focus on what we can control and make choices and take action that is consistent with our stated goals and values. It takes courage to act out a life that actually follows your plan and takes you to the vision of greatness you have for yourself.

5. Gratitude: This is about living with a mentality of gratitude, an appreciation for all the things we have, and learning to be satisfied with where we are and what we have (or do not have), that will lead us to an inner peace and a reduction of anxiety. This allows us to pursue our goals without judgement or negative self-talk, and to respond to the the obstacles and setbacks we face with a positive attitude, understanding that often those obstacles are the key to reaching our goals. Typically those things we resist will persist. We work to embrace the work and the challenges so that we can clarify our own path and open us to the growth we need.

STOIC PHILOSOPHY: Part of the process of learning to control and focus your mind (so it does not control you), and developing self-awareness, as well the other attributes listed above, are consistent with many of the tenants of Stoic Philosophy. This, is in addition to meditation, breath work, and other practices, help us to understand ourselves and learn to control our minds, thoughts, and emotions. Thus, Stoic philosophies offer much for the athlete seeking to perform at the highest level. It teaches us to be aware of and in control of our minds. To not let external events influence our thoughts, and ultimately then our emotions and behaviors. It teaches us to appreciate life as it is and to live in the moment It teaches us not to be impacted by things outside of our control or the setbacks and disappointments all people inevitably experiences in life.
