MIND/BODY WELLNESS COACHING
Why Should I Choose Mind/Body Wellness Coaching?
I want coaching that’s trauma-informed and non-pathologizing.
I need to talk with someone who can help me find my own truth.
I feel some aspects of my life are limited and would like to experience more freedom in mind and body.
I am in chronic pain or have an autoimmune condition and would like to explore the emotional aspect.
I suffer from anxiety, insomnia, chronic digestive issues, or other stress-induced complaints.
As a coach, I see functioning people who want to understand themselves better and experience more freedom in life. As I am not a licensed psychotherapist, I am not the right person to work with those who are a danger to themselves or others or who are experiencing extremely distressed mind states. Because I am a bodyworker, I have a special interest in helping those in chronic pain, but I am happy to see anyone who wishes to engage in a guided dialog toward greater self-awareness and more freedom. I do not see this work as a substitute for medical care, but as an adjunct to whatever physical care the client feels is right for them.
My work is based on my year of study with Dr. Gabor Maté in Compassionate Inquiry as well as Internal Family Systems, in which I have completed Level 1 training. For an in-depth look at my point of view, see my blog post on coaching.
I see clients by appointment on Zoom for sessions lasting 60 minutes. I charge a sliding scale – see my price list, available upon request – and you will be the one to decide what you can afford. In order to determine if we are a mutually good fit, I suggest we start with a complimentary 30-minute session and then decide whether to continue. I strongly suggest committing to at least three sessions to start, in order to give the work a chance to take root. It’s a gradual process, and your system will set the pace.
Testimonial from a coaching client:
“I am a client of Megan Renee Backus and have been so for nearly a year. My life has dramatically transformed so that I reach my optimum potential and dreams now due to Megan's care, guidance and expertise. She is adept at providing a nurturing, sensitive, and heart-sensitive mirror so that you reframe the shame, trauma, and emotion trapped in your pain body and like a butterfly you now metamorphosize into a greater version of yourself. The work enables you to attract your best life, since your inner child is safe and you live from your core of your very capable SELF: all of this results from the way the coaching organically unfolds.”
