Where is God showing up in your life story and how is He challenging you to grow?
Where is He calling you to use your unique gifts and serve right where you’re planted?
God has created me to do some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good. I shall do His work.
John Henry Newman
What is Accompaniment Coaching?
Accompaniment coaching is a learning journey; a Spirit-led, collaborative process of coaching and mentoring. It’s a safe place to explore where God is showing up in our everyday life experiences. It is a place to recognize how our human and spiritual lives coincide to identify God’s Holy Work within us for the service of others.
Coaching is the breath that moves throughout the transformation process, tapping into a source of energy that helps us transition gracefully from season to season. By unraveling the secrets within the roots, we gain a deeper understanding of the story God has planted within us and seeks to draw out. When needed, suggested approaches can be offered to guide a client towards their desired growth.
Your story is the key to your calling and purpose. Coaching helps untangle any gnarled roots and leads us to the fresh, living water where new growth begins.
“Humanity, take a good look at yourself. Inside, you’ve got heaven and earth, and all creation. You’re a world – everything is hidden in you.”
St. Hildegard of Bingen

My Coach Approach
I accompany others in their faith formation journey. Helping those seeking a deeper and richer faith experience as they learn to
-
-
- listen and see the patterns the Holy Spirit is weaving throughout their lives
- step into their true identity
- discover God’s calling
- contribute their gifts for the growth and service to others
-
become holy in the way God has uniquely designed us and
-
live life in HOPE
-
This hope is more than just positive thinking it’s a biblical hope – one grounded in God’s truths; who we are in His image and how we honor Him as we care deeply for the physical, mental, and spiritual life He’s given us. This is found through His grace, truth, and an understanding found in self-discovery.
Together we enter the garden within, dig around to find any weeds that are choking out growth and begin the tender process of sowing seeds for where you are looking to flourish, allowing the energy and flow of your gifts and strengths to draw towards the Living Water that feeds your deepest desires.
He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.
Jeremiah 17:8
Initially, I hired Linda Delia to be my health coach. She was fabulous in that role, so fabulous in fact, that because of how deeply she listens, how well she holds space to allow me to process and think, and how adept she is at following my scattered patterns of communicating, that despite having a Spiritual Director for the past 6 years (and still have), I was compelled to ask her to be my Catholic Spiritual coach. I have no regrets. Linda has a rare ability to make a person feel safe and secure in being vulnerable, listens with the ear of her heart to both the client and the Holy Spirit, and does not shrink back from asking hard (and sometimes painful) questions that are needed to evoke self-awareness in the client to motivate a transformation within. Working with Linda has proven to me time and again that the Light of Christ can shine through a connection with a fellow human being whose mission is to simply love her clients like Jesus did.
