When You Need Help, Not Hype

 "I’m not sure how much longer I can pretend that I have it all together. Maintaining my image is killing me."
"If anyone looks too closely, they’ll see that I am lonely, scared, and exhausted."
"I feel like I have to hide who I really am and I'm starting to lose the real me behind the mask."
"I feel alone, even though there are people all around me."
"I'm overwhelmed. My house and life are out of control. I'm scared for what will happen if things don't change."
"I need help. Trying to do this alone isn't working."
"I want to run away from my life. Vacations are how I (temporarily) escape."

If you’ve always been known as strong, optimistic and unstoppable, you probably won’t admit that you are exhausted. Exhausted from trying to be all things to all people, all the time. 

Even the strong need support sometimes. The optimistic need encouragement, and the unstoppable need a break.

You know things in your life need to change. You know change need to happen, but taking care of yourself hasn’t been a priority.

Desiderata Consulting is here to help.  It’s not too late to transform your life. Desiderata Consulting can help you make the changes you seek.

The Four Pillars of Desiderata Consulting

Desiderata is Latin for ‘things desired’.  It is also the name of a 1927 prose poem by Max Ehrmann, an American writer. Desiderata Consulting was formed to guide you towards more joy in your life.

At Desiderata Consulting, I am committed to guiding individuals on their journey to becoming their best selves. When you invite me to your home as your live-in life coach, you’re not just getting a friend and mentor—you’re gaining a partner and coach who is dedicated to helping you elevate your quality of life in a way that encourages lasting change. Desiderata Consulting focuses on the following areas to guide us as we work together to enhance your life:

Authenticity and Self-Awareness

True transformation starts with self-acceptance. I believe in the power of authenticity and will encourage you embrace your true self. Through my coaching, you’ll gain deeper self-awareness, understand your strengths and areas for growth, and learn to live more authentically.

Health and Well-Being

My immersive coaching experience focuses on all aspects of your well-being by utilizing a holistic approach to life coaching. By integrating exercise, nutrition, and faith into your daily routine, you'll learn to nurture your body, mind, and spirit. We'll evaluate and improve your physical fitness, emotional resilience, intellectual growth, and spiritual connection. Then we'll find ways to enhance your relationships and your living environment together to help you achieve a balanced and fulfilling life.

Balance and Order

Balance is essential for joy, helping you create harmony between personal, professional, and social responsibilities by establishing priorities within healthy boundaries. This concept of balance and order extends beyond our daily routines and into our living spaces. An orderly home not only reflects this balance but also contributes significantly to our overall well-being. An organized home reduces stress, improves focus, and promotes better sleep and healthier habits. Together, we'll make your home environment a welcoming respite, ensuring that you transition back to a space that rejuvenates you in mind, body & spirit. We'll make your home a physical representation of the balance you seek.

Community and Connection

Healthy human connection is the cornerstone of human existence. I encourage meaningful relationships that foster belonging and support. Our live-in life coaching helps you strengthen connections and create a positive social network. By living alongside you, I gain unique insights into your daily interactions, enabling me to provide personalized guidance on improving communication skills and setting healthy boundaries. Together, we work on building a supportive community network. This holistic approach ensures you not only develop stronger personal relationships but also a vibrant, connected life.
I invite you to experience profound transformation and life-changing results through my comprehensive coaching services.

Immersive Coaching Experiences provides a distinctive live-in coaching experience where I reside with you, offering real-time support and guidance while integrating exercise, nutrition, and faith into your daily routine.

For those seeking a more flexible approach, SPARK delivers powerful transformation through a dynamic six-week virtual program combining group calls, personalized coaching sessions, and practical exercises.

Frequently Asked Questions

“Desiderata is Latin for  “things desired“.  It is also the name of a 1927 prose poem by Max Ehrmann, an American writer. You can see the poem here.

A live-in life coach is a professional who resides with a client for a designated period, typically ranging from a few weeks to several months. This arrangement allows for intensive, immersive coaching tailored to the client’s daily life. Live-in life coaches provide constant support, guidance, and accountability, helping clients implement and sustain positive changes in real-time. This immersive approach allows the coach to gain a deep understanding of your daily routines, habits, and challenges, enabling them to offer real-time feedback and guidance. 

By living alongside you, a live-in life coach can address various aspects of your life in a holistic and integrated manner, fostering comprehensive personal transformation.

  • Real-Time Support and Accountability: Continuous presence ensures constant support and motivation, helping you stay on track with your goals.
  • Personalized Guidance: Real-time insights and tailored strategies based on your daily life and specific needs.
  • Holistic Approach: Integrated coaching that addresses physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
  • Improved Relationships: Enhanced communication skills and stronger connections with others through daily interactions and guidance.
  • Immediate Feedback: Instant feedback and adjustments to habits and behaviors, leading to quicker and more effective results.

For individuals, I offer a six-week virtual coaching program called SPARK, as well as three types of Immersive Coaching Experiences (ICE). ICE programs are two weeks long (SHIFT), four weeks long (EVOLVE) or six weeks long (THRIVE).

As a client, you will be expected to establish and adhere to a program that focuses on overall health, to include faith/spiritual practices, physical exercise,

If you determine that a live-in life coaching experience is the best option for you, you’ll choose either a 2-week, 4-week or 6-week program.  I’ll need a private bedroom and access to common living spaces (kitchen, bathroom, laundry, etc.).

When I say Immersive Coaching Experience, that’s exactly what you get. This is a LIVE-IN support program.
I’m not on Zoom or FaceTime talking to you about what you’re dealing with; I’m right there- BY YOUR SIDE, walking with you through the challenges and changes, providing encouragement and guidance to you as you discover, cultivate, and embrace living an authentic life.

Each Immersive Coaching Experience, is personalized. On our call, we will:

  1. Focus on the specific areas of your life where you need help and support
  2. Discuss and determine the best action plan to help get you started, and
  3. Establish timelines to begin making the changes you seek.

If you decide to proceed with the ICE (Immersive Coaching Experience), we will finalize details after a 48-hour waiting period to ensure your commitment to change is not pressured or rushed. 

Life is a journey, and there *will* be twists, turns and challenges.   I provide ongoing support for an additional 6 months after your ICE ends by making myself available via Skype, Zoom, GoogleMeet, FaceTime, WhatsApp or telephone to support, encourage and lend a listening ear.  I’ll also make sure to provide you any resources I have available that are appropriate for your needs.

Energy psychology utilizes the same meridian lines as chiropractic and acupuncture. The concept is that energy flows through these meridian lines, and disruptions in this flow can cause mental, emotional, or physical symptoms. By understanding these meridian lines, energy psychology aims to restore energy flow and alleviate mental and emotional symptoms.

Splankna is a Christian-based, mind-body protocol designed for emotional freedom. By incorporating techniques such as muscle testing, thought field therapy, EMDR, neuro-emotional technique, and prayer, Splankna targets the subconscious roots of symptoms. This approach facilitates the identification and release of “stuck” emotional energy and thought patterns resulting from past traumas.

Disclaimer: Splankna falls under the category of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and, as such, cannot claim to “cure” any diagnosable (DSM) illness. The only permissible claim for practitioners is that Splankna is utilized for stress relief, spiritual growth, and within the context of Life Coaching (where applicable). According to FTC guidelines, no claims can be made that Splankna will heal or change you.
