The Life Refinery




		A life coach is like having a personal trainer for your life; someone who will provide you an extraordinary level of support and encouragement, hold you accountable without judgment and help you achieve your goals. Just as every top athlete has a coach, any individual who is committed to reaching his or her full potential can benefit from having a life coach. A life coach guides the client on a journey of self-discovery customized to meet each individual's needs. Through this process, the client is able to tap into his or her inner wisdom and true desires. Life coaching can help you clarify your personal vision, prioritize your goals, break free of self-imposed limitations and enrich all aspects of your life including relationships, career, finances, health and well being. Life coaching can also assist you in moving beyond fears and obstacles that have held you back, increasing your inner peace and living a more conscious, purpose-filled life. Melissa will encourage you and hold you accountable every step of the way. The coaching relationship is completely confidential and focused only on YOU! If you answered "yes" to these questions, you could be ready for a life coach! What is the difference between life coaching and therapy? Therapy primarily focuses on healing from past events. The therapist is viewed as the "expert", the client is the "patient" and the presumption is that something needs to be "fixed". In life coaching, the client is viewed as creative, resourceful and whole; nothing is "broken" or needs to be "fixed". Melissa follows the co-active coaching model which maintains that the client has the answers within. The client and coach are in a collaborative partnership. They are a powerful team passionately committed to creating positive change in the client's life. How much does it cost?
