Journey Within
Spiritual Life Coaching
Welcome to The Journey Within LLC - The Journey Within Coach | Life Coaching. Anyone can benefit from life and spiritual coaching, whether you're in a "good place" in your life or not, life coaching is all about identifying your personal growth goals and finding a way to reach them. I support, inspire, motivate and ask the right questions.
What to Expect
Benefits to a Journey Within
As a Spiritual Life Coach I use my coaching certification along with my professional background as an EMT and End-of-Life Doula, adding my extensive personal experience as a mother and promoter of human rights, to help you identify your deepest life goals and then to develop practical means of achieving those goals.
Improve Daily Life
Together we would work to improve your daily life as well as your career attributes by instilling self-confidence, clear thinking, and the courage necessary to move steadily forward, expanding your horizons.
Identify Your Spiritual Foundation
Together we will work to identify your spiritual foundation by exploring your underlying beliefs and finding ways to live your values. This is not a religious procedure, although all religions are totally respected and honored. We work with normal psychological techniques but also with sensitivity training in journaling, meditation, visualization, manifestation, mindfulness, and energy work (such as Reiki, tapping, self-hypnosis, past-life regression and more) - all ways to help you to get in touch with your Inner Self.
Discover Inner Peace
I'm dedicated to guiding you on a path to self-discovery and inner peace via deeply rooted holistic principles. To accomplish this I stress the importance of all-around good health in your body, mind, and spirit; your everyday life, relationships, and communications of every kind will feel the difference.
Receive Complete Support
A major part of my coaching is providing complete support on your journey: encouragement, focus, accountability, planning, etc., including access to a community of helpful services from a network of therapists and specialists with whom I work closely. As a spiritual life coach I can add valuable components to that support, such as being a Reiki Master and an ordained Interfaith Minister, with the goal of helping you to align your work with much more than worldly success.
As Science and Spirituality grow closer every day, it's becoming increasingly clear that the most profound satisfaction is experienced when the expression of your life brings more than just material advancement but when it also uplifts and serves your Spirit by giving back to your children, your community, to the Brotherhood of Man, and to the Earth itself.
Why Choose a Spiritual Life Coach?
A spiritual life coach may be more desirable than a regular life coach for those individuals due to the following reasons:
Holistic Approach
Spiritual life coaches often address the mind, body, and spirit, providing a more holistic approach to personal development. This can be appealing for those seeking comprehensive growth that includes spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects.
Alignment with Personal Beliefs
For those with strong spiritual or religious beliefs, working with a spiritual life coach can ensure that coaching sessions are aligned with their values and beliefs. This can create a more comfortable and supportive coaching environment.
Deeper Purpose and Meaning
For individuals looking to explore the deeper meaning of life, understand their purpose, and connect with something greater than themselves, a spiritual life coach can offer insights and guidance that align with these goals.
Focus on Inner Transformation
While regular life coaches often concentrate on achieving external goals such as career success or financial stability, spiritual life coaches emphasize inner transformation. This focus on internal change can lead to more profound and lasting personal development.
Integration of Spiritual Practices
Spiritual life coaches incorporate practices such as meditation, mindfulness, prayer, and other spiritual exercises. These practices can enhance personal growth and provide tools for managing stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges.
Enhanced Emotional and Spiritual Support
Spiritual life coaches provide not only practical advice but also emotional and spiritual support. This can be especially beneficial during times of crisis or transition, offering a sense of peace and guidance that addresses both emotional and spiritual needs.
About Spiritual Life Coaches
Professional life coaches help an individual achieve personal and professional goals by providing guidance, support, and accountability. They work with you to identify your goals, overcome obstacles, and develop strategies for personal growth and success. They often use various tools like goal-setting, active listening, action planning, and motivational interviewing, to help you improve circumstances in your career, relationships, health, and overall well-being. Such therapists typically focus on mental health and emotional healing; a Spiritual Life Coach is there for someone who seeks more than just practical guidance, someone who aims for deeper meaning, who desires a holistic approach, addressing body, mind, and spirit. We incorporate practices such as meditation, mindfulness, prayer and other spiritual exercises. All coaches have such goals as career success and financial stability; a Spiritual Life Coach will also emphasize inner transformation, believing that internal change can lead to more profound and lasting personal development. In addition to practical advice we offer emotional spiritual support, which can be especially beneficial during times of crisis or life changes. I can help you live a way of enhanced spiritual awareness, learning to experience valuable insights and practices that foster overall spiritual growth. Developing greater self-awareness helps you to uncover your true life's path, giving you tools to navigate difficult times with assurance and a sense of accomplishment.
What Clients are Saying
"Working with Shanen has been a great blessing to me. She has been remarkably supportive, gentle and compassionate yet skillfully adept at helping me focus on what is really important to me, what stands in my way and what next steps I want and need to take to accomplish my goals. She is a great listener. I really feel heard, and that has been key to my trusting the coaching process. And she has fantastic, creative ideas that I've found eye-opening, simple and practical. It's amazing to me, looking back at the process, how someone could help me look through the lack and to be able to visualize some key goals. It may be trite, but true that just taking one step--in this case, beginning the coaching process--seems to open doors. Things began to fall into place, largely, I think, because Shanen is so tuned in to the needs and inspiration of the moment. You'll be in great hands if you decide to work with her."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a spiritual life coach?
A spiritual life coach is not a therapist, counselor, consultant or mentor. A Spiritual Life Coach is a professional who assists clients in designing the life they want by helping them achieve their personal and professional goals. Spiritual Life Coaching is a powerful and inspirational way to help you achieve greater fulfillment, cultivate your passion for life, and function at your best. The Spiritual Life Coach is 100% dedicated to you and your future. They will listen, encourage, support and motivate you. The emphasis is on your well-being. Finding happiness in your work/life is the measurement of success.
Who do you work with?
I work with women going through daily struggles and are experiencing major life transitions. They are willing to go through a transformational process to get to the next level emotionally and spiritually and I help them make meaningful and better choices. Transformational goals are set to bring about significant and lasting change.
How is spiritual life coaching different from counseling?
A spiritual life coach helps move a client forward to reach his or her goal. Taking action towards those goals is the main focus. Meanwhile, the counselor explores the client’s past to find the origin of problems, and looks at ways to develop new strategies to confront those problems.
How many spiritual life coaching sessions will I need?
This depends on what you want to achieve with your coaching. Coaching can last for three months to a year or more. If you are looking to make a significant and lasting change, I encourage clients to make a minimum three-month commitment for optimal results.
