Coaching Sessions

​

There exists in you, an essential, natural goodness that is calm, curious, clear, connected, awake, and creative. When we can tap into this natural potential, our whole lives begin to reorganize around this good, loving self.

 

Audra guide's her clients toward their own inner wisdom and resiliency by creating a loving, accepting space to ask questions, receive support, and to simply be as you are in the moment. It is not often in our culture that we have the opportunity to be witnessed with love. This is Audra's gift--sacred witnessing. She doesn't need anything from you, or for things to work out in a certain way, or for you to be anything other than yourself. It is from this wide-open-space, full of possibility, that spontaneous compassion and trust rises. Here, without aversion or clinging, what can feel like stuckness often gives way to creative shifts, whether they be in our relationships, in our work, in our businesses, or how we show up in our communities. 

​

Examples of real life questions clients have brought to these sessions:  

• How do I meet the feeling of stagnancy in my practice? 

• How can I create more ease at work?

• How do I quit my job?

• How do I stay present with my child when I'm frustrated?

• How do I start trusting my partner?

• What is it like to work with judgment and my inner critic?

• How do I start a meditation practice?

• Should I open this new business?

• What's my next step in growing my business?

• How do I talk to my partner about opening up the relationship?

• Will you read this hard email with me so I'm not alone?

• How do I create and maintain a boundary?
