Lauren Muney at age 40:
Wellness coach and featured in
"Fit Over 40: Role Models for Excellence"

"When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego, and when we escape like squirrels turning in the cages of our personality and get into the forests again, we shall shiver with cold and fright but things will happen to us so that we don't know ourselves.

Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power and old things will fall down, we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper."

—D. H. Lawrence

WELLNESS /LIFESTYLE/ LIFE COACHING

You are looking for TRANSFORMATION.

Make the changes that you want in your life... to make your life extraordinary. If you are unhappy with one aspect or several, coaching is the help, guidance, and support you need to improve to a life you have dreamed about.

OVERVIEW | PROCEDURE | EXAMPLES_OF_VISIONS_AND_GOALS

 

Mold your life the way you want it - don't simply endure what's handed to you!

Overview

  • You want to make changes in your life.
  • You feel may stressed at work and at home.
  • You may feel like you have no time in your day to get everything done - including getting fit.
  • You may feel unfit.
  • You may even feel fat, or that "diets" haven't worked for you.
  • You may feel low energy and grumpy.
  • You may be anxious and/or unhappy, and don't know why.

You can get unstuck.

In coaching, you are completely educated, supported, and empowered to learn at your own pace and to make the changes that you need.

The traditional personal trainer concept may work well for one hour in the gym, but what about the other 23 hours of the day? You need solutions, and you need to learn how to solve problems for the rest of your life.

Whereas a "drill sergeant" approach to fitness and wellness treats you as simply a collection of muscles and bones, coaching treats you as a complete individual with wants, dislikes, personal values, and the capability to grow, change and improve. You are treated like the individual you are - no cookie-cutter diets. In fact, no "diet" at all.

Life - not just weight

We often think that we only have one problem holding us back: "I want to lose weight". More often, the holding extra weight is usually just a symptom of the lifestyle which is frustrating you. Untangle the lifestyle, and the weight goes to a fit size: no diets, no starvation, and your life feels smoother and easier.

You are coached to solve your own fitness, nutrition, and wellness... and stay fit, healthy, and de-stressed for the rest of your life.

This isn't magic -- and it's not hype. It's coaching. Yes, like a Little League coach gets his little players to hit, run and score, you will make home-runs in your life as well, with your own coach.

Concentrated 'YOU TIME' - with results          

  • Imagine your own future and take steps to achieve it

  • Make long-lasting changes and reach a higher level of fitness, health and wellness, through private coaching sessions

  • Create new options for your life, perhaps with new education or career path
  • Finds strategies to deal with the unique challenges in your life, including stress and feeling like you are 'always behind'

  • Make sense of the confusing media hype about nutrition and/or exercise

  • Understand your body and life as never before

Is coaching supported by doctors?

Yes! Doctors across the country are supporting that coaching is an effective method to behavior- and life-change.

"Behavior change is more complex than just telling someone to behave differently or handing them a pamphlet." Dr. Kristin Vickers, PhD, on why lifestyle coaching works.

Procedure:

1) You answer some questions about your life and your health. You decide what changes you want to do in your life.

2) You then learn how to create personal motivation for yourself, through specific tools and provacative work

3) You and Lauren, together, create your new life -
your new life which can start in just one day.

Review the programs offered to decide when
you are ready to begin your Physical Mind.

"Wellness" is a general term which is being used by the community-at-large. Lauren truly prefers the term "lifestyle coaching", which explains the combination of:

  • body (outside fitness)
  • nutrition (inside fitness)
  • time management (how to align life with the hours granted to us)
  • stress management (how to align life with pressure thrust on us)

Lauren helps people find overcome obstacles and find success where before, they have been sidetracked by those obstacles.

Coaching is the one-on-one customized guidance, support, education, encouragement, and accountability that every transformative person needs.

Note: corporate-health coaching and personalized fitness coaching vary in approach.

A Concrete Dream
Goals

"...without something to strive for, we stagnate and become stuck in ruts of our own making because we are unsure of what to do next. Goals are the dreams that we are willing to work for.

Make sure that your goals have the potential to be emotionally satisfying. You may even want to write them down. Putting your goals into words can keep your intention fresh in your mind and remind you of your purpose..."
