Life Has Coached Me in Becoming a Life Coach

Pamela Van Nest is an expert at guiding women:

She works to empower mature professional women, who do too much for too many, UNLEARN perfectionism and avoid burnout.
~To face their inner critic and embrace their innate Wise One Within
~To be self-accepting instead of being hard on themselves
~To develop a plan of self-care, being kinder to themselves.
 

She respectfully acknowledges that she lives on Michi Saagiig, Anishnaabe lands and the traditional territory covered by the Williams Treaties.  She is aware of the privilege of being a cis gender white woman and continues to work to decolonize her practice, staying open to new learning, and sharing her gifts. 

As a life coach, since 2012, Pam has been coaching individuals, leading workshops, retreats and speaking to women about how and why their inner self-talk can hold them back.  She is an ever evolving expert in guiding women to tame self-doubt and step into a compassionate confidence that is calming, grounded, and strong.

She leada virtual and in person, Compassionate Possibility RETREATS for women to OVERCOME self-doubt that perfectionism creates. I offer a method in mental fitness to meet challenges with strength and positivity. 

Through curiosity, self-compassion tools, visualizations, Pam coaches women
     

• to face the negative inner chatter with acceptance and reprogram it.
•  to embrace their fears and hesitations and choose courage and commitment to themselves.
•  to change their habits to get the success and fulfillment and yes, maybe more money.
• To prioritize their well-being and stop ignoring their needs.

Pamela’s study and integration of the Twelve Step process have given her insights into how fear and low self-esteem can lead to self-doubt and perfectionistic tendencies that can result in burnout in their career.

Pam also draws on her experience as a Teacher, a Consultant and Instructional Coach to design and facilitate retreats, workshops and programs that she offers face to face and on line.

She is a certified Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, A Certified Associate Coach through the International Coach Federation, and a Group Certified Coach and acknowledges that many of the techniques and coaching methods she uses are rooted in ancient knowledge of elders who guided communities    through listening, curiosity and accountability.

Pam holds a Second Degree of Reiki through the lineage of Rernard Morin and Usui Shiki Roho.
