Alignment

Research has shown that mindful awareness combines Intention, Attention and Attitude (Shapiro et all., 2008).

Through my work with Art of Presence, I’ve built upon this model to also include Action and Impact because when you focus on how you want to be, it changes what you do and how you do it.

The Art of Presence is discovering how these components interact and support one another.

Wellbeing Coaching creates space for you to access your own wisdom and take inspired steps by aligning

Intention, Attention, Attitude, Action & Impact.

Art of Presence Model Developed by Rachel Gilbertson.

Coach Approach

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the human experience and exploring personal development. I have a love of learning and have earned my  undergraduate degree in Community Health Education with a minor in Psychology and went on to complete a Masters of Education with a graduate minor in Integrative Therapies and Healing Practices. I’m a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, a certified Intrinsic Coach, an A.C.E certified personal trainer, and a mindfulness facilitator.

As a Wellbeing Coach, I partner with people to support their overall wellbeing. I view each client as the expert of their own life and know they are fully capable, creative, and complete just as they are. The relationship we build together is based on trust, compassion, and strengths.

Over the past 18 years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside many humans on their wellbeing paths. I’m grateful for them trusting me with their stories as they reflect on what is important to them while they take steps towards their goals. I support them in aligning intention, attention, attitude, action, and impact. One step at a time.

By practicing the Art of Presence, we take time to be intentional about how we want to be and what's important to us, we're then better able to focus our attention and align our attitude to take action in meaningful ways  rather than being stuck in our automatic thoughts, behaviors and reactions.

Habits are created by identifying values and beliefs; becoming aware of thoughts and emotions; consistently practicing goal-aligned behaviors; navigating challenges and celebrating successes. This applies to wellbeing as well as any other facet of life.

It requires both building trust and trusting the process.
