Coaches Spotlight: Q&A with Member Donna Brooks

 What type of coaching do you offer and to whom?

My coaching is body-based. People generally seek me out donnabrooks

because they are experiencing stress, strain or pain. I use

movement education and very gentle yoga therapy to help

them. Typically, although not always, there is a connection

between the movement habits that created this pain and

something that needs change or attention in their lives.  As we work, clients

discover easier and more supportive ways of both moving and navigating the

challenges of their lives.

 

Why did you get into coaching? What motivates you?

 Coaching is a natural outgrowth of working with people’s bodies. As tension

and dysfunctional movement patterns let go, my clients naturally talk about

challenges they are facing or aspirations they have. An important part of my work

is to help them use their new found Body Wisdom to create positive and lasting

change in related challenging areas of their lives.
