Life Coaching
Mindfulness and Creativity
The goal of Life Coaching at Russo Healing Arts is to help clients to shape the foundation of their lives by changing their daily habits with intentionality, self-compassion, and persistence. Our sessions facilitate structured, supportive spaces that encourage clients to engage authentically with art, music, and mindfulness. Activities in a session may include insight-oriented self-exploration, mindfulness meditation, and creative engagement with art and music. We help encourage clients to engage in mindfulness and creative art regularly in their lives.
Life is often difficult. Emotional pain from past experiences can stay with us; finding perspective or meaning in a great loss can feel out of reach; building healthy relationships, communicating effectively, and managing anxiety and depression can be overwhelming. The Life Coaching program at Russo Healing Arts offers a supportive space to process, plan, and find meaning in your life. Our goal is to help you connect more deeply with yourself, clarify your purpose, and create lasting positive change.
Watch your thoughts, they become your words;
watch your words, they become your actions;
watch your actions, they become your habits;
watch your habits, they become your character;
watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
- Lao Tzu
Each of us experiences the world through a personal lens shaped by our beliefs, emotions, and experiences. Mindfulness provides a way to step back from that lens. By observing our thoughts and feelings with calmness and acceptance, we can respond to life with greater clarity, intention, and resilience. Over time, this awareness helps us live with more authenticity, balance, and purpose. Mindfulness is a process that combines intentionality, self-compassion, and persistence to help change habits and improve one’s life.
Life coaching provides a space to slow down, gain insight, and learn new ways to care for yourself. A typical session may include meaningful conversation about your goals, self-reflective exercises, or creative activities using art and music. Sessions may also include guided meditation or hypnosis to help you connect with your inner wisdom and calm.
My Approach
My work integrates psychology and philosophy to support personal growth and self-understanding. Grounded in Humanistic and Positive Psychology, I aim to help clients embrace authenticity, realize their potential, and recognize their innate ability to grow.
Through Personality Psychology, we explore patterns, preferences, and ways of relating to the world using frameworks such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Enneagram, and the Big Five personality model.
Psychodynamic Theory, Family Systems Therapy, and Hypnosis are fundamental to our work with the subconscious, when helping clients to uncover underlying patterns that influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. At the same time, principles from Utilitarianism and Secular Buddhism guide our work with mindfulness, compassion, and purposeful action.
Together, these perspectives create a process that is both insight-oriented and practical. In collaboration, we identify the patterns shaping your experiences and develop habits and strategies that support healthier living and better emotional wellbeing.
I specialize in supporting individuals who:
- Are autistic, BIPOC, and/or LGBTQIA+
- Have ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, or trauma
- Are experiencing grief, social isolation, or low self-esteem
