Systemic Wellness Coaching
Systemic Coaching takes place within the System Model of Intervention. I work in the environment within the family system to create Recovery and Wellness for all role players within the system. In my experience the environment plays an important role in long-term Wellness for all parties. If the environment is toxic this will have a negative impact on the entire family so it is important that we identify key areas of concern, create open honest dialogue and build on each role within the system to take personal responsibility for our actions and behavior so that we can all move from a Culture of Adversity to a Culture of Growth.
As families progress into a space of Wellness they are able to deal with the challenges and difficulties life throws at them together and with more resilience. The main goal is for me to find an equilibrium within the Family system so that we all have a common goal to work towards. Each having their own part to play in gaining trust and cultivating change within the environment.
Systemic wellness is achieved through identifying attachment styles, the roles one plays in the system and work towards healthy interdependent relationships with all parties concerned. My focus is to increase family responsibility and accountability with compassion and supportive action. Developing strong agreements and boundaries within the system that promote healthy relationships and stability. I address diversity within the family from a healthy adult space and utilize effective communication techniques to strengthen interpersonal relationships
