What do I say when people ask me “what is it that you do?”

     I help fix the areas in your life that you feel are failing.

     I like to describe what I do and the problems I help fix just like a small table. You know the coffee table you have in your house? You know how it has 4 legs holding it up? What if you removed a leg? It would undoubtedly get quite wobbly. Things would fall off the top – and it becomes unstable and unreliable. Take out another leg (down to 2 now) and it is pretty well unusable. You can temporarily shove a couple things underneath it to keep it level on the surface – but never rely on it and never put something heavy on it. Remove another leg and it is unusable.

Much like your life.

     If you have all 4 legs in perfect shape in the right places – life ticks along just as it should. But you start removing or unbalancing one or more of the legs and it gets unbalanced, dangerous, unreliable and in serious need of immediate repair.

     Some people attempt the quick fix approach and wedge a few quick fixer-uppers underneath it – they read some books, listen to a tape or two, maybe even go to a live seminar – but it never fixes the underlying problem!

Which is why the problem keeps coming back
month after month, year after year.

     I help you repair and remove any issues that are causing you unbalance in your life. Be it your health, your happiness, your wealth or your confidence – they all need to be working properly to go about a fulfilled life.

Right?

How many legs on your ‘table’ are missing or in need of repair?

The more there are, the faster you need to get them fixed.

     I look at my clients holistically, that is, taking into consideration all aspects of their lives including their physical health. My approach to therapy is based on my firm belief that we are made up of body, mind, and spirit. All three aspects need to be working in harmony to achieve balance. There are many studies which show spiritual and nutritional factors directly bear on our mental health.

     I often include life coaching with the therapy, to help people not only feel better about themselves but then to move forward and actually realize their goals, whether that's a new relationship, a more balanced life or job success.

     I LOVE this work, watching my clients discover the feeling of freedom and joy that comes with letting go of old hurts and pains and finding new ways of interacting with the world. I aim to provide an opportunity for people to grow and heal, in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental and nurturing environment.

Planning For Your Session

     To ensure the greatest benefit from our time together, please arrange your Steppingstone Session so that your time afterwards is open, allowing yourself the freedom to choose whatever activity feels best to you at that time. Please consider these hours afterwards as an important part of this renewal experience.

     Our time together generally averages 1-1.5 hrs. Some sessions may complete themselves sooner, and others may run a bit longer. The duration is determined by the natural flow of our process as it evolves that day, not by arbitrary predetermined limits. If unforeseen time constraints do arise for you, however, please mention them at the beginning of the session and we will adjust our work accordingly.

     After your Free 20-minute session, you may decide to continue our work together. If so, sign up for a series of 4 additional sessions at intervals appropriate to your personal situation. I ask that you pay for all of your sessions at the first session. This encourages you to make the commitment to the changes you'd like.

Continuing our work together

     The first session is an introduction, a getting-to-know each other. In succeeding sessions the work becomes more focused. As our work together evolves, you learn to become more skillful in receiving exactly what you need, creating the most relaxing and freeing experience possible. Steppingstone Sessions are offered on a regular ongoing basis. Clients initially book a minimum of four sessions to experience first-hand the many benefits of my unique zero-will-power program.

Cancellation Policy

     All services are available by appointment only. I ask that you pay for all of your sessions at the first session. This encourages you to make the commitment to the changes you'd like. If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, kindly give 24 hours notice. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend away or a flu bug, a 24-hour cancellation is required. I do my best to fill these openings – just like you, I’d much prefer to have another client take your place than charge you for a cancellation.

     Clients who book appointments and who cannot join me for their scheduled time or notify me to cancel their appointment within the 24 hour cancellation period will have their missed appointment count as a used session.

Steppingstone Referral Program

     Almost every therapist gets the majority of their clients from word of mouth. Word of mouth is the best marketing I have working for me.

     It is worth repeating that every study I have seen shows that over 55% of new clients come from a referral.

Every time one of your family members, friends or colleagues goes for to a therapist/coach without a referral they are taking risks.

• They are risking that the therapist/coach will not be good.
  
  
• They are risking being uncomfortable.
  
  
• They are risking a sizable bit of money.
  
  
• They are risking wasting their time.
  
  
• They are risking not going at all because of this discomfort, and that is a huge risk, because it may mean they don’t get the help they need.

Getting a referral from an existing client like you reduces or solves all of these problems and more.

     It is true for many, many people, that going to a therapist/coach the first time without a referral can be an uncomfortable experience. Yes, there are a few bold people who are not bothered by such things, but the majority of people are.

     My primary motivation for encouraging you to send me your referrals for my unique Zero-Will-Power Program is to help solve all of these problems for your friends, family and co-workers.

     That’s why I am asking you to start sending me your referrals so that together we can to help your family and friends and co-workers avoid these problems.

     I don't ever want one of your friends or family to have that negative experience. As a valued client of mine, I expect you to help solve these problems for other people. Your job as my client is to keep your ears open for the opportunity to solve this problem. And keep your ears open for people who have physical and or emotional problems that I can help solve as well.

     I believe in this so strongly, that I am are going to reward your generously for doing the good deed of referring someone to me. Every time you refer a new client to me, you will get a free upgrade to an extra 15 minutes on your normal session. Refer three new clients and you will receive a free 30 minutes on your next full 90-minute session. I will keep careful track of this for you.

     And another reason that I want referrals is because if I have to spend less time and money on marketing, I can put more back into improved services for my clients.

     And to make it all work smooth please I have made it very easy for your friends and family to try me the first time. I am willing to give them a discount for their first treatment. And also, make it easy for you to offer these discounts to your friends, and look good doing it. Every time you receive a session I will give you three business cards that you can give to your friends. When the three cards have been redeemed, you will receive a FREE 30 minutes on your next full 90-minute session. Isn’t that easy?

     There are no strings attached and absolutely no-obligation for them to use my services again. They’ll be treated to a session of their choice...while you get to look good and I get the opportunity to expand my practice. That way everybody wins! Don’t you agree?

     If I have made a huge difference in your life then I would be very grateful if you would refer your friends and loved ones to me also. It makes me feel good and I know it will make you feel good too. I know you like helping other people. Besides, it makes you look good when your friend has a wonderful experience with me too. And every time you refer someone to me, you are making a commitment to your own health. This reinforces your own desire to use my services, but sometimes you just need a small reminder.
