Muse Life Coaching

Coaching focuses on the present and future to propel you into the life you have always wanted to live, whereas counseling, psychiatry, and psychotherapy focuses on the present and past. Muse Life Coaching takes a neutral and solutions focused approach whereby you are guided through a series of deep belief changing vision exploration exercises, as well as powerful questioning techniques to integrate your sense of purpose and values in motivating and compelling ways to create powerful and attainable futures.

A good professional coach does not tell you what to think, feel, believe, or do, nor does a coach give their personal opinions. Instead, through series of powerful deep questioning by the coach, it will allow you to relax into your sub-consciousness, which is where your deepest values and vision of yourself and your future resides. By tapping into your sub-consciousness, it will not only allow you to become resourceful, but it will enable you to connect your action steps that contributes to the life you want to live to the person who you are inside and the person you want to become.

Thank you for giving me a space to step out of the gloom that has followed me throughout the year. You have helped spark the positive joy that was hiding in my heart.

Ian

You are so kind and pure. Your fearless attitude and honest humour are incredible.

How can I repay you? Money does not express the gratitude that comes from the heart. You have guided me from a place of confusion, frustration, and just plain “in my head” to enlightenment, brightness and clarity. We all have the tools to accomplish this, but without your help, I was like a deer in headlights! Just stuck. When life gets tough, I feel safe to know that you are there for me.

Edmond is a patient, wise and empowering life coach. He is passionate about helping others discover the best versions of themselves. I was unclear as to what life coaching was at first. I had it confused with psychotherapy. Edmond gently and expertly guided me through our session where I gradually realized the difference between the two. I was now able to find tangible solutions to my concerns. Edmond enlightened me to ways where i felt like I could be in control and work towards achieving my goals. Thank you Edmond for helping me remember the version of me I strive to be!

Edmond has helped me establish multiple ways to approach the problems that have slowed me down from living a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Being involved in solving my own problems with Edmond is much more effective than blindly following the advice of a therapist.

Edmond has natural coaching abilities that have helped me to identify and achieve goals that are in alignment with my authentic self. He has a remarkable gift for tuning into underlying issues that are causing roadblocks, and he uses this insight to plan the best course of action. Edmond’s practice is rooted in compassion and a holistic approach that respects my mind’s practical wishes while uncovering my heart’s desires. Not only has Edmond helped me to craft effective action plans, but he has also guided me through a journey of self-exploration that has been empowering and healing.

Laura J

Edmond has the uncanny ability to get to the core of what I really want even when I’m uncertain. As a coach he asks powerful and thought-provoking questions and helps keep me on track, organized, accountable and be a more resourceful version of me - which is exactly that I am looking for to take me to the next level.
