Upstream Coach
About
Connect with What You Value
Coaching and mentoring services to help you connect to what you value most – within yourself and in the world.
We would like to help you with your next steps.
If you are reluctant to hire someone to work with you on the changes you want, please consider that no one really takes new steps entirely on their own.
Life consultations and coaching is a way to move past what is holding you back, and be more in touch with what is important to you.
We use Zoom and Google Meet effectively when face to face meeting is not possible or online is more economical.
Helping people 1) work through life’s challenges, and 2) connecting with what is most valuable to them. We offer services at a price point that makes them available to people who have not had the benefit of a personal advocate and coach!
