Restorative Conversations – Transformative Listening and Life Coaching

When intense emotions flood our systems, often the best thing we can do in the moment is to slow down and become present.

Most of us try to make unpleasant emotions go away as quickly as possible. This makes sense since emotions are the way our bodies alert us to the fact that there is something that needs our attention.

What is it though that needs our attention? And what quality of attention would we like to bring to whatever it is?

How we respond to these questions can align with a journey towards healthy relationship or it can keep us stuck in old patterns.

Are you wanting to heal relational wounds so as to experience healthier relationships?

Would you like to bring more authenticity into your relationships?

Is working with emotions and reactivity something that makes sense to you?

"Adele’s sessions are not linear. ‘Holographic’ is more like it! I leave the session with a mental image (and sometimes an actual pictograph) of my ‘whole’ self in the ‘relational’ situation that I was struggling with. She asks questions that have me dialoguing with parts of myself, my protectors and defenders, the creatives and the tiny tender parts of myself that just whisper. This work isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it. There have been times when I was a jumble of wild emotions, anxious with pain, and Adele’s deep, authentic empathy allowed me to relax and be fully myself. There’s a deep peace that comes from being completely heard. Adele hears me, and then she helps me hear myself. Invaluable!!!"

"Adele is gifted at giving empathy. She can offer resonant words and metaphors that grant regulation and healing to nervous systems."

"Adele is an insightful professional, a deeply caring person, and a wise teacher. She creates a safe and empowering space to do one’s inner work. Every session with Adele has been amazing. She has helped me with both physical and emotional healing. I have made breakthroughs on issues that were previously stuck for a very long time. My relationship with my daughter has gone from good to great, I am more organized with my time, and I am kinder to myself. Every day I am reminded of something Adele has said or an insight I have had in a session with her. The time with Adele has been a blessing in my life. I am grateful for her support along my journey."

"Adele has a special presence. I could tell from the first time we connected in the NVC class she was leading. She feels safe to open up to about my deepest vulnerability. After working with Adele for years, I know she will respond with warmth, insight, empathy, and creativity. Whether in her role of NVC trainer, life coach, or math tutor, Adele brings the magic."

Adele’s transformational work is deeply grounded in thorough studies and practice in different modalities, but what makes her special for me is her profoundly compassionate presence, her care, and her passion for her healing work and creating loving community.   Adele's coaching brought awareness to the stories I tell myself that were neither true nor serving me anymore, and I'm grateful to learn how to communicate better with myself and others from her. Because of our work together, I am more peacefully connected to my inner power and operate from a place of love.   Adele holds a warm and non-judgmental space….I feel safe in expressing myself any way I show up.

Working with Adele has been a transformative experience for me. I am struck by her compassion and insight, and the way she always seems to ask the questions that most help me unlock what has been blocking my path. I find myself, after our sessions, feeling so much more centered, clear headed, and energized to take action. Her support is helping me move forward in ways I never thought possible.

Coaching conversations support connectedness, clarity, centeredness, emergent whole personhood, and wellbeing. They are not therapy and are not to be used as a substitute for therapy.
