About me

Clients who choose me are curious about the world and themselves. They are ready for real improvement in their emotions, bodies, relationships, and/or work/career. I specialize in helping clients lower anxiety.

My approach is to encourage balance in the areas of head / heart / hands:
- Build insights and reframe unhelpful beliefs (head).
- Tune into deep heart-based aspirations and learn how to lower anxiety (heart).
- Identify and take doable, empowering action steps between sessions, reflect, then pick again (hands).

In coaching, you get a safe place to discuss what you're feeling and thinking and explore new behaviors - all with compassionate listening. I'm skilled in working with men and women.

For clients considering a 10-session series or 6-month plan, I offer a free discovery call up to 45-minutes with no obligation. This allows you to see if coaching together feels right to you. Coaching is by phone or video Skype. Please call or email me today.

RESULTS & GOALS

I help clients get in touch with their deepest desires and identify actionable goals, practice new and empowering behaviors in relationships, and understand and shift limiting beliefs that are holding them back.

Through brainstorming and strategy we look at both your big picture and find specific steps to lead you closer to your dreams - steps that feel doable yet exciting.

One client has written: "Raz came to my rescue at the perfect time! She was understanding and helped to guide me through my emotions to realize my goals and the steps I needed to take to get to where I wanted to be. She also was a great person to recognize when I was not giving myself enough credit and held me accountable for my misconceptions of myself helping me to see the strengths where I saw weakness. Raz guided me through my thought processes, opening my mind to different views of the problems and helped me to think more creatively to find solutions."

I would be honored to offer this experience to you.

PROFESSIONAL AND LIFE EXPERIENCE

I understand that growth is not linear, and that our greatest challenges can plant the seeds of our greatest contributions. I relish helping people explore this paradox, moving forward in hope.

I work best with people who have dipped their toe into the pool of personal reflection. I'm likely a good coach for you if you seek to be honest with yourself, even if that sometimes gets messy!

My Work with Raz Mason
As a writer, I should be able to testify to Raz Mason's gifts easily. And yet I find myself searching for ways to describe her supportive, insightful, gentle ability to lead me out of myself into full consciousness of who I am and what I want to be.

Sometimes I wonder if she is somehow tuned in to parts of my subconscious mind that I have tuned out.

She often makes a quiet suggestion or rephrases something I've said about myself in terms so positive I have to think, "Yes, she's right. That's really me. I don't have to apologize for me!"

I love it when she gives me a homework assignment because it always involves doing something good and positive for myself. You would think that having lived two-thirds of my life already, I would be in the habit of doing this all the time. But I'm not. Thanks to Raz, I'm getting in the habit of it.

Often she comments on how animated my eyes and face have become when I start talking about something I love more than I knew I loved, and I think, "That's right! I love that! Why am I not allowing myself to pursue it?"

In just the few months I have been working with Raz, I have experienced great inner change. Good things are flowing my way--people, opportunities, challenges, achievements--that I never would have imagined.

I wake up eager to consume the goodness of my day. Thank you, Raz.
