What is IFS Coaching?
IFS Coaching honors all parts of your inner system, helping you achieve whole system alignment. Unlike some therapeutic or Coaching models that focus only on certain aspects of your personality, IFS Coaching welcomes and integrates every part of you. This holistic approach empowers you to resolve inner conflicts and move forward with clarity and purpose.
Your Path to Self-Leadership and Internal System Harmony
Self-Leadership is what is possible when all parts of our internal systems are harmonized with our Self-made plans. After careful consideration, you’ll discern how you most want to move forward with intentions, relationships, and actions. My goal is to support you in realizing you’re not stuck. We’ll find ways for you to stay on your career path while honoring your personal and family time. For those who need to make significant changes—leaving a relationship, community, or city—I provide the guidance and support to pursue what truly matters to you.
“IFS offers us the chance to welcome all of our parts, and to care for them from the perspective of Self. Self can be a Companion, a Celebrant, a Chooser, and a Commitment keeper. Self can retrieve and heal hurting and frozen parts, bringing them to their rightful place in the inner family.”
~ Patricia Rich

Leaders and entrepreneurs benefit greatly from having a Coach to support them as they plan, plant, pivot, and play. Having a Coach supports you to be reliably strong, flexible, and successful.

What is IFS Coaching?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Coaching is a transformative approach designed to help you achieve harmony and balance within yourself. Rooted in the IFS model, this coaching method recognizes and honours every part of your inner world, fostering a deeper connection with your core Self.
Understanding IFS
Developed over 30 years ago, Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based model of the psyche. It views the mind as a system of parts, each with its own perspectives, intentions, and roles. These parts often function in ways that are either aligned with or in conflict with your goals and desires.
IFS Coaching uniquely addresses these internal dynamics by ensuring that no part of you is marginalized. Instead, it welcomes and integrates all parts, fostering a state of “whole system alignment.” This holistic approach allows you to resolve inner conflicts, empowering you to move forward with clarity and confidence.
The IFS Coaching Process
In IFS Coaching, we start by identifying and understanding the various parts of your internal system. Through guided exploration, you’ll get to know these parts, appreciate their positive intentions, and learn how to harmonize them with your core Self. This process involves:
- Self-Leadership: Cultivating the ability to lead from your core Self, which is inherently wise, compassionate, and grounded.
- Part Integration: Welcoming and integrating all parts of your internal system, ensuring that each part feels heard, valued, and aligned with your overall goals.
- Internal Harmony: Achieving a state where your internal parts work together harmoniously, reducing internal conflict and enhancing your ability to navigate external challenges.
Benefits of IFS Coaching
The holistic and inclusive nature of IFS Coaching provides numerous benefits, including:
- Enhanced Self-Awareness: Gain a deeper understanding of your inner world and the various parts that influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
- Improved Decision-Making: With a harmonized internal system, you’ll make decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
- Emotional Resilience: Develop the ability to navigate life’s challenges with a grounded and compassionate approach.
- Personal Empowerment: Experience a sense of empowerment as you align your actions with your true Self, leading to more authentic and fulfilling outcomes.
A Unique Approach to Coaching
Unlike traditional coaching models that may focus solely on your strengths or attempt to eliminate perceived weaknesses, IFS Coaching honours the complexity of your inner world. By integrating all parts of yourself, you’ll achieve a more balanced, resilient, and empowered state of being.
Why Choose IFS Coaching?
IFS Coaching is ideal for anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves and a more harmonious internal state. Whether you’re a leader, entrepreneur, small business owner, or someone navigating personal or relationship challenges, this approach offers a compassionate and effective pathway to your goals.
