As your life coach, I will never tell you what to do, however, I may provide advice that you may or may not choose to take. For it would be arrogant for me to tell you what is best for you. Instead, I will help you to perceive and understand your feelings as well as your troubles in such a way so that you are better able to address them.
It is this “other” perspective, which is based on my 27-year study of A Course In Miracles, that will show you how to be present with your pain and/or empower you to make the most loving choices you must make. If you are not clear as to what A Course In Miracles is, please visit facim.org for a more in-depth understanding of this psychological spiritual text.
As your life coach, my goal is to help you see peace instead of fear. Whether you come to me regarding a relationship issue, a work issue, a body issue, illness or simply want to better understand your feelings, I will assist you in looking deeper so that you may develop a better understanding of what your feelings represent.
If you have read my memoir, From Pain To Peace, you know that I too have been through pain and have struggled with my feelings. It is what I have been through that allows me to have true empathy for whatever you are confronting.
It is possible I may not be the person for you. Perhaps a friend who will just listen would be more healing. But regardless of what route you take, I encourage you to share your thoughts, even if it is only with your pet! Any willingness to look at what frightens you symbolizes your readiness to perceive things differently.
To that end, as your potential Life Coach, I offer an initial free fifteen-minute phone conversation so we can become better acquainted. In this way, you can better determine if I’m the person who may be of help. Please know that should I believe the scope of what you are addressing is beyond my ability to help, I will suggest a licensed professional.
Some Details about Life Coaching:
Cost:
Everybody is in a different financial situation and so I adapt accordingly with respect to frequency of communication and set times. For example, some wish to speak daily and some are comfortable with three to four times per month.
My rate is $25.00 for thirty minutes and fees are always paid upfront on a monthly basis by PayPal or another pre-discussed method.
Method:
Life coaching can be conducted on the phone or Skype in the convenience of your home or office and this is done because some prefer not to deal with traffic or weather conditions. Coaching on the phone or Skype is a viable option for some and eliminates location as an obstacle. Some local individuals prefer to meet in person.
Testimonials
From Dr. Richard D’Amico, Family Medical
Rick, I can’t begin to thank you for all the help you have given me through the years. You have always possessed a kindness and gentle way of delivering information that I may not have always wanted to hear. You helped me through times of unbelievable darkness and despair, you were the light that gave me hope and inspiration to continue forward in life. You were also there during some very vulnerable times in my life and thankfully you let me experience what I needed to, giving me the impetus to grow and mature from those experiences. Gratefully, you never once judged me, even when others were quick to do so. You helped me work through many of my childhood traumas, allowing me to see myself from a new perspective. For the first time ever I was able to embrace my history and begin the process of forgiving which in turn set the stage for my healing process to begin. The numerous hours of support and wisdom you gave me opened my eyes to a new dimension of personal growth and possibilities.
For the first time ever, I have begun to love myself and build my confidence. In essence, I am now able to “lift that veil of forgetfulness” and see things for what they truly are, ultimately realizing that I never truly left God’s side for a moment. From one healer to another, friends forever,
Dr. Richard J. D’Amico
From Marcio Baratella, Ireland
I was going through a living hell when by coincidence or God’s design; Rick Bechard came into my life. I have to confess I feel a bit ashamed of how silly I was when I met Rick. I simply couldn’t see it clearly. I was very judgmental of others and specially of myself. I never wanted things in life and always tried to escape from them by avoiding my feelings, reactions, and shutting myself out from the world.
Rick patiently explained how important it is to live every moment in life, to feel every feeling, no matter how good or bad they are. I remember he would say; “be with it”…and that’s how I learned to be a better person.
I learned how to go through bad moments without avoiding them, without dragging people into my cluster and most importantly, without dragging myself into other people’s cluster.
Rick’s would often say that, “there is no wrong decision, as long as it is made with love”. So it doesn’t matter if you have to be hard to a friend or a lover, as long as you do it with love, you are doing it for their own good and of course yours.
Another very important lesson I learned from Rick is that true love never dies. You never stop loving someone. What changes is the shape of this love, but it never dies.
This writing is much more than a testimonial or endorsement. It is a way I found to express how thankful I am to someone who did nothing but guide me through the darkness and help me accept and embrace myself, and he did it selflessly.
Thanks for everything dear Rick Bechard.
Truly yours,
Marcio Baratella
