Working with Jorja…

We can liberate ourselves by getting to know our obstacles, our patterns, and developing a relationship with them. As a coach, I bring perspective, compassion, curiosity as I listen, and together, we create new ways of walking through relationships with Self and others. The shift can be slight or transformational as seeing through a new lens changes a constricted view to expansive. 

 As a coach, I invite all of your parts and patterns to get onboard in service to you, creating space for your authentic essence and soul to arise. I will encourage you to listen with curiosity and compassion to parts you have been working desperately to push aside, ignore or squelch. We will begin to pay attention to those parts, curious about the patterns that keep us from conscious living. We will work to align your inner world with your gifts and passions.

 I use many modalities in my guidance. But, primarily, I use the wisdom of the Enneagram and its map for exploring the structure of our personality and Parts Work (informed by Internal Family Systems), which informs and restores balance and understanding and moves us to be self-led.

My coaching supports you in aligning your life with your highest goals and dreams. It helps you access your inner wisdom to design your life consistent with your core self. I can support you in mapping out the steps to move you closer to living from your authentic Self. You set the agenda for each coaching session with a focus and a sense of what you want to take away. 

I am a partner and co-collaborator—not an expert. You are the expert on your inner landscape, and you gain valuable experience in accessing your expertise during every session. I contribute observations, thought-provoking questions, and various tools to support you in moving forward and finding your way home to yourself. 

In short, my coaching isn't about fixing a problem; it's about walking with you as you unblend from unhealthy parts and create space for the innate wisdom of your Self to bring alignment both in your inner world and your outer world. If you long for a guide in that journey, someone who will walk beside you and assist you in sorting through options, strategies, and possibilities, that is my work.

I work with clients who want to focus on any of these topics:

• Transitions: We best navigate shifts with all radar scanning, attuned to possibilities that might be outside the habitual frame of reference. Coaching supports you in exploring how to access and incorporate the clear perspective of your most profound wisdom as you move through a period of change.

• Boundaries: Boundaries allow healthy relationships. We usually learn by trial and error how we want and deserve to be treated, what is ours to attend to, and how to remain autonomous while also connecting deeply. Exploring boundaries in a coaching context is fertile ground to create impactful, life-affirming shifts.

• Creativity: Coaching can enhance the connection to your inner innate creativity, whether you're feeling blocked or want to develop greater access to your intuition.

• Relationships: Coaching can bring new insight and compassion for Self and your partner, family member, or friend. This can dramatically improve self-awareness, intimacy, and friendship in your relationship and help manage conflict in a healthy, positive way.

• Parenting/Parents: Coaching offers support for one or both parents in fostering goal achievement related to parenting. In this non-judgmental setting, the Enneagram provides wisdom and evidence-based strategies to navigate relational issues with children.

• Passion Alignment: Coaching can help you understand yourself and what motivates and gives you fulfillment. Developing self-awareness and determining passion gives you purpose, direction, and a sense of well-being.

• Emotional Intelligence: Emotional maturity makes it possible to navigate conflict and come to a resolution. Emotionally maturity leads to taking responsibility for Self and your actions as it enables you to recognize and hold space for another person's point of view.
