Coaching Model
You are an entrepreneur, professional or executive who sees themselves as a change maker, driven to create impact. Money is nice, even necessary, but leaving your mark and changing peoples’ lives are more important. You know what it is like when your work and life are driven by inspiration and passion, when you are in the flow…. in your groove. When life and work feel whole.
You now find yourself in an uncertain place… having difficulty stepping to the next leadership level…..maybe stressed, burnt out and torn between conflicting demands of personal and business life. Life feels fractured, and you are having difficulty finding your center. You may be experiencing more disconnection than connection and may be aware of self-defeating behaviours. You recognize the need to recalibrate.
Integral Embodied Flow (IEF)
IEF is a holistic coaching approach that helps you find your groove, down-regulate stress and find your place of high performance, wholeness and engagement. The approach uses personal integration, embodied cognition, breath work and flow science, together with more traditional cognitive coaching and positive psychology approaches. It enables you to engage in a dynamic restorative process that heightens awareness, transforms counterproductive behaviours and provides for peak performance and engagement. It goes well beyond just talking about your issues.
The result is reduced stress and reactivity, greater calmness, clarity and creativity and more time in high performance states. This leads to greater well-being, enhanced human connection and an ability to move forward in work and life with greater alignment, effectiveness and energy.
The IEF model is informed by evidence-based developments in neuroscience and psychology and the insights and practices of mind-body wisdom traditions. It is based on the three pillars of integration, embodiment and flow.
The Three Pillars
The three pillars of integration, embodiment and flow evolve in tandem and represent different facets of a unified approach to full life and business engagement, optimal performance and self-fullfilment. As we achieve greater levels of integration, embodiment and flow we live more and more in the present better able to take advantage of the many possibilities that consistently present themselves to us. Our engagement is defined by high levels of intrinsic motivation which renews our energies and evolves our abilities. We are less conditioned by unresolved past experiences, and less fixated on a future that never arrives.
Integration
All dimensions of our lives and business are interrelated and wholeness requires a harmonious integration of all parts. The greater our integration, the more effective we are in each dimension of work and life, and the greater our development, awareness and influence. Our coaching approach enables alignment of all dimensions of our lives and business around core states of awareness and our core passions, gifts and vision. You have an increased sense of agency, leading others most effectively when you lead yourself.

Effectiveness and fulfilment are dependent upon addressing challenges with the totality of our being, harnessing the senses, intuitions, emotions and energies of the body. Effective leaders and performers have a presence, power and influence that extend well beyond the power of the mind, and an ability to process complex situations with the totality of their beings. IEF enables leaders to engage the entire mind-body complex which both creates greater personal power and enhances their ability to grow, change, and create.
Flow
We are at the peak of our performance and satisfaction in life when we are in a flow state - totally engaged in what we are doing and totally in the present moment. Our skills, energy and creativity increase exponentially, and we are more able to achieve our goals with the most efficient use of our energy and resources. Flow enables total fulfillment and enhanced productivity. IEF enhances you ability to enter flow states and bring your team into flow.
