I decided to become a life coach out of nowhere while sitting on my friend’s parents’ back porch in Chicago, and my life has never been the same.

I decided to become a life coach out of nowhere while sitting on my friend’s parents’ back porch in Chicago.

My friend Sonia’s mom (shout out to Linda!) was telling me about her unexpected journey into fitness coaching. (She’s a lawyer as well!) She told me how much this new career had added to her life.

And then out of nowhere, I heard myself say,

“I’m thinking about looking into life coaching.”

“You would be so great at that,” Linda replied.

I told her how I’d always been naturally curious, and love listening to others. How genuinely passionate I am about helping people. How I love writing, but I miss the intimacy of acting and having that 1:1 connection with others. How I love being the friend that jumps into deep questions at dinner parties. How I didn’t know a lot about this field, but I was just feeling a nudge towards it.  

Alexa's innate ability to draw out my thoughts and feelings and help me sort through them was amazing. She approaches her clients with a sense of calm, confidence and compassion, and that allowed me to be open and honest with myself. I HIGHLY recommend working with Alexa if you're ok being (gently) pushed to dig deep and address the important questions in your life. - A

Everything unspoken inside of me rose to the surface. Linda unknowingly created a safe space for me to untangle my deepest desires right there on her back porch, on a sunny summer afternoon that changed my life.

I got back to New York, and started seriously researching programs a week later. And a week after that, I took my first class online at The Life Purpose Institute. 

I’ve never made a decision this quickly. And no decision has ever felt better.

I’ve now created the same safe space that Linda created for me, for so many people. I never expected to grow my business this quickly. This time last year, I didn’t even fully comprehend what it meant to run a business! 365+ days and 20+ clients later, here we are.

A past client from last fall called me a few days ago, to tell me that they quit their job and are headed abroad to follow their dream of teaching at wellness retreats around the world - how cool is THAT?! I can’t describe what it feels like to be a small part of that journey.

Alexa asks powerful yet simple questions that lead to deep self-inquiry; she is looking to get to the crux of who you are and what you want from this life. Focusing on both minute practices/changes and big-picture ideas, she helped me see how what I didn’t realize I wanted dances with the present moment. These sessions were practical yet imaginative - M

I’m ten hours away from ONE HUNDRED hours of coaching - and I want to celebrate by offering *ten* hour-long single coaching sessions at the discounted price of $250.

Individual coaching sessions might be perfect for you if…

• you’re considering making a big change

• you’re trying to make a big decision and need some clarity

• you’re unsure of your next steps and want to figure out  the next right thing for you

• you’re thinking about pursuing a longer coaching engagement, and want to tip your toe in the water

Every time we meet, Alexa demonstrates a unique ability to help me reframe the perceived messiness inside my mind -- challenging me to pause for the big thoughts/feelings that I would normally breeze past or shove deeper.  As a result, I have found Life Coaching to be a deeply introspective journey that is unlike anything I've encountered through individual talk therapy, couples therapy, or meditation/mindfulness practices. - J
