In essence, AmiLynne helps remind clients who they have been all along, having simply forgotten along the way. Traditionally, life coaching and spiritual direction are handled as separate areas of one's life and often by guidance from separate professionals.  A life coach and a spiritual director both ask open-ended questions, listening for significance beyond the words you say to help you reflect on your life. In working with AmiLynne, one receives spiritual support in parallel to addressing basic life questions rooted in a belief that our very life originates from a spiritual source. By creating a space that is safe to explore the beliefs, stories, and questions that have led each to where they are, AmiLynne empowers clients to create an authentic life plan forward that surpasses the standard 'How To' revealing an active plan toward "How Do I." Authentic, conscious transformation is the inner result allowing the outward results to manifest in most unimaginable and serendipitously spiritual ways.
