Deirdre Walsh – Integrative Health Coach

One on One Coaching

Personal coaching is very effective when you can’t wait on your dreams. You want to get rolling and you don’t have time to lose. You need energy to do this – and fast! In addition to creating new possibilities for your life, you want to make changes in your health habits – exercise, diet, sleep or stress. You want a deeper understanding of your motivations, strengths and values around your health.  You want the accountability that one-on-one coaching provides. 

Package includes a 60-minute introductory session (by phone, Skype or in-person, where applicable) and five 45-minute sessions (by phone or Skype) over a 90-day period; email support as required (Mon-Fri); resources for health information – online, print, community-based, or technology tools – as required.  Six session fee: $520

Here’s what people have to say about coaching with Deirdre:

Having been a stay-at-home parent for many years, I was very suddenly faced with being a single parent of three children, as well as returning to the work force. My anxiety/depression took a turn for the worse. With Deirdre’s help, I was able to turn things around and get my life on track. Her professionalism and positive attitude ALWAYS left me feeling that I could overcome all the obstacles in my way – and even realize that some of those obstacles were not really there.  – DI

I worked with Deirdre Walsh during a transitional period of my life.  My goals at the time were to work on work/life balance issues and to build a better sense of community.  Deirdre has a wonderful way of capturing the essence of the issue in a way that reinforces the positives and offers constructive ways of improving the negatives.  She was a stabilizing influence and a voice of reason when I had doubts about my direction and effort. – PM

Coaching enabled me to delve deeper into my personality and find out what makes me that way I am.  With the guidance from Deirdre, I was also able to create a template of the person who I wanted to become and was able to create a plan on how to become that individual. – SC

Working with Deirdre has been both enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable!  She really helped me to explore the reasons behind some of my “stuck” behaviors and has a fantastically subtle and effective way of nudging her clients into action.  My favorite Deirdre-ism ~ “What if you just tried that out a little bit?” ~ helped me to open my mind and find workable solutions to challenges I’d been struggling with for years.  Deirdre is insightful, caring and professional.  I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking to move beyond the status quo and start making big changes in their life. – RA 

Group Coaching

Coming Soon for 2012

I’m creating an exciting group coaching program to launch later this year.  Group coaching will be perfect for people who want a taste of one-on-one coaching plus the support of other like-minded people.  The program will include four group calls over six weeks plus individual 15-minute laser coaching calls between group calls.  There will be options for self-directed work between calls, plus a private Facebook page for the group to share information and support.  Each group will be limited to 8 participants to make sure that everyone has room to share and be heard.  I’ll be sending out details later this spring.

 Sample Coaching Session

Much of the success of coaching comes from the right fit of client and coach.  If you’d like a taste of coaching and my approach, book a complimentary 30-minute sample session.

Bring a challenging issue you are facing and I’ll coach you on your specific situation.  That way you can see up close whether coaching is a good resource for you. If you see the possibilities for yourself you can choose on from other coaching packages available.

Health Resources

You have a question that can be solved by more or better information.  Some clients have difficult treatment decisions to make without a lot of medical guidance.  Others have been diagnosed with a progressive or degenerative illness, and need information and support their self-management.  We’ll decide on the scope of the research and put together a plan. Includes a search for online health materials, clinical studies, patient support groups, community resources, technology tools, and any additional helpful materials; a written report of recommended resources specifically addressing your questions and challenges.  Fee:  $75 per hour – two hour minimum.
