What is Integral Coaching? Is it Life Coaching? (What is Life Coaching anyway?)

Integral Coaching is a type of Life Coaching. A lot of coaching focuses on what is called “horizontal” development - you have a goal or something you want to achieve and coaches directly address helping you with achieving that specific outcome. Integral coaching is focused on personal growth and development. Integral coaching recognizes that we are already a whole person. It focuses on “vertical” development. Integral coaching does not focus just on a specific issue, although that is taken into account, integral coaching focuses on the whole person as an environment - we explore what competence a person needs to develop in order to solve their own problems.

Are you Certified?

I am a certified Integral Coach through New Ventures West. You can learn more about New Ventures West here. New Ventrues West Purpose is “Everyone uncovers their ability to continuously awaken and deepen so that all of life flourishes and is saturated with meaning, belonging and contribution.” That purpose is something that I feel growing inside me all of the time and it is the purpose that underlies the meaning of the work I do with each and everyone of my clients.

Erika has also completed a HeartMath Certification Training.

She is currently working toward her ICF certification.

How long is a typical coaching engagement?

Ideally, the typical coaching engagement is about 6 -12 months. This is because we are rewiring the brain and body on an organic level. Change takes time. It takes time to examine and breakdown the identities, habits and patterns that keep us feeling stuck. We are organic life forms. Creating change is a biological process. When we work together, we are creating new neural pathways and re-routing old automatic reactions and putting in place new ways of thinking, feeling and responding to the world.

Erika does offer alternative coaching arrangements.
