FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Mindset Coaching?
Mindset Coaching is a journey in personal development, focusing on how the mind and specifically our thoughts dictate our wellbeing and outcomes in life. As your coach, I support you in achieving your personal goals and in transforming the way you think and feel. Through knowledge of the mind, awareness of emotion, and an understanding of how everything is energetically connected, the result is an elevated mental and emotional wellbeing. At this elevated reference point, I coach you to effortlessly manifest the truly amazing things and experiences you desire into your life.
What services do you offer?
I offer Private Coaching services. The two private offerings are the: Leading From The Heart Journey and The Life Purpose Discovery. Additional private coaching sessions/program extensions can be incorporated into the private offerings, based on the interests and objectives of the client. I also host outdoor Expeditions, which you can find details for on this site.
How can the Law of Attraction be applied in business?
The Law of Attraction applies to business in many ways. It will enhance your ability to make decisions, and influence the way you lead and work with people from a heart space. It re-enforces that in order to create abundance and joy in your work, you must believe there is enough to go around, thus detaching the negative vibrations in a competitive space. One of my favorite business tools is using the imagination to visualize, shape, experience and test how your objectives feel.
What is visualization and imagination, and how are they used?
Visualizing is just creating a mental image using your sense of sight. Often it is based on something already familiar to us. On the other hand, imagination can involve all five senses as well as emotion. We can imagine something we have never seen or experienced, and explore how it feels to us. This helps you develop clarity, to understand how something you desire, or a choice or decision you need to make feels to you. It may feel good, or perhaps not. You utilize these skills all the time, like when you daydream. Here’s an example… Think of the last time you had the desire to go on holiday. What was your imagination doing for you? You might have been visualizing the beach or nature the moment you saw an image on TV or in a book that sparked your desire. Then you started imagining what the climate would feel like, the types of activities you’d do, how the food would taste or smell, even a special person you might meet. Beyond the senses you were engaging, you most likely experienced strong emotions like calm and relaxation, or excitement and passion as soon as the thought of your holiday popped into mind. Visualization and imagination are so important to use every day, and I coach you in mastering these skills as a tool to create clarity and intention in your life.
What are some of the things I can expect to feel after a coaching session?
My clients often tell me they experience the following:
A calmer, positive outlook
Light hearted and playful
More certain of what they want in life
Inspired
Happier
Mental clarity
Less stress
Increased awareness of their thoughts and emotions
The urge to share what they have discovered about themselves and the tools they are developing
More inner connection and purpose
What led you to the Law of Attraction, and what are some examples of how it’s benefited you personally?
I discovered The Law of Attraction in 2017, in a course I took. Instantly, I was awake to insider knowledge of The Universe, and how to use it to deliberately set desires and create anything I wanted for myself. I’ve used it to create a really great flow in my life. My overall mood is positive, and challenging moments and things that used to bother me, just don’t faze me as much. I’ve worked with The Law of Attraction to manifest many exciting experiences, and recently used it to create the time and resources to focus on my passion - Magnetic Mind.
Is there homework after each coaching session?
There are tools, exercises and reflections, which are encouraged but not mandatory. They put into practice the subjects you are learning and make immediate enhancements to the way you think and feel in life. I know homework isn’t at the top of everyone’s list of priorities, so that’s why I’ve made it easy for you to integrate our work into every moment of your day, simply through heightened awareness of its application. However, if you can spare an extra 15 minutes per day while we work together, to just visualize and imagine what you want, set intentions for yourself, reflect on what you’re discovering and how you’re feeling, it makes a huge impact to your experience. You can do it on the train to work, while you take a walk, or as you sip your morning coffee, and if you forget or happen to skip a day, no problem, just pick up where you left off.
What if English is not my first language?
You don’t have to worry, I’ve gotten pretty good at working with people of different languages and cultures. I speak English and Spanish fluently, and some German and Dutch. I can often pick up what you’re saying when you need to express yourself in your native language, and I encourage it. Trust me, we’re not using a technical or complex vocabulary, and the pace can be adjusted as needed.
How can I learn more about your current offerings and stay connected?
You can review the Private Coaching offerings under the ‘Work With Me’ heading at the top of this page. I also invite you to check into the website regularly to stay up to date on offerings and activities, and follow me on Instagram @magneticmind.me. Most exciting, I invite you to get in touch for a free consultation call, if you’re interested in exploring The Mind, your Higher Self, or Purpose, or have other questions.
What is the Higher Self?
Your Higher Self is a higher power that is only concerned with what is in your best interest; it is your only source of Truth. It knows only of Love, Joy & Freedom and it does not acknowledge the ego’s ways. It is always in communication with you, and your access to its frequency is through your mind. The Higher Self is also referred to as your Inner-self, your True Self, your Intuition and your gut sense. It’s important not to allow the ego to block its valuable signal, its always there whether you’re listening or not.
I heard you also work with The Law of Attraction, what is that?
Similar to gravity, The Law of Attraction is based on energy, and it applies everywhere and to everyone. It is a fact that everything in the universe has and emits energetic frequencies also known as vibrations. The Law of Attraction simply states, “that which is like unto itself is drawn,” or in simpler terms, “what you put out, is what you get back.” Hence, if you think thoughts that don’t feel good, you attract experiences that don’t feel good. On the other hand, if you think thoughts that do feel good, you attract experiences that feel great. This is how you can go about learning to transform your reality – by virtue of a conscious awareness of the thoughts you think, and the corresponding emotions and action that follows. I coach you in understanding how The Law of Attraction has created your present reality, and how it is at this moment shaping your future. By starting at the level of the mind and your thoughts, you can deliberately tip the scale in your favor and create what you truly desire, rather than attracting the good and bad at random, or worse depending on one’s outlook.
What can someone expect from a coaching session with you?
From each session, you gain new insight into your way of thinking, how it impacts the way you feel and what it is you are attracting into your life. You’re always attracting, whether you’re aware of it or not. Together we heighten your awareness of your thoughts and emotions, and work on raising your vibration. From this elevated outlook, you can deliberately attract and manifest what you truly desire, and feel tremendous purpose and inspiration.
Are coaching sessions online or in person?
Coaching sessions are generally conducted online via video call, but can be in person at my home office if the logistics allow. For video conferences, all you need is a stable internet connection, browser, and laptop or tablet. I will email you a call link prior to each session.
How do I prepare for my coaching sessions?
I always recommend being ‘coachable’. All that means is coming with an open mind and the willingness to try on new ways of thinking, feeling and looking at life. All we’re doing is exploring new knowledge and playing with new tools. To make your experience even more enjoyable, consider building a bit of a ritual around your coaching. Mabey set an intention before each session, or do something to shake off your day and calm the mind. Whatever you need to do to make yourself feel like you’re making a special and valuable investment in yourself, do it. And don’t forget, it’s about having fun discovering new things in life, a light hearted and playful mood is always best.
Do I need to be spiritual, or re-consider my beliefs to work with The Law of Attraction?
Whether you’re spiritual, or of certain faith or belief, everyone can work with The Law of Attraction. You see, the principles of The Law of Attraction are embedded throughout our society. At its most simple understanding it’s, “what you put out, is what you get back.” You’ve likely heard this statement many times, from people of all different backgrounds. The Law of Attraction is a universal subject often found in the self-improvement and spirituality sections at the bookstore. Its principles are observed in many religions and belief systems, and in academic, business and leadership teachings. It’s about being your best self, to attract only the best in life.
How would you explain The Law of Attraction to someone who’s never heard of it?
The Law of Attraction is a governing law of the Universe, very similar to gravity. Everything emits energy in the form of a vibration, this includes our thoughts and emotions. The Law of Attraction states, ‘what you put out, is what you get back.’ This law explains why positive thought and emotional vibrations attract positive experiences, and why the negative vibrations attract negative experiences. The Law of Attraction’s principles form the rule book on how manifestation works. It also highlights why it is so important for us humans to live a positive vibrational life.
How long are coaching sessions or workshops?
Coaching sessions are generally 60 minutes long, but sometimes extend as needed up to 90 minutes.
What does coaching cost?
Private Coaching services and pricing details are listed under the ‘Work With Me’ link in the website header.
Are coaching fees negotiable?
The short answer is no. Pricing for Private Coaching programs are firm. Business Coaching offerings are customized to a specific engagement. Don’t worry though, I invite you to consider there are other valuable ways to reduce the cost on your end. Take a look at the following questions in this FAQ for ideas.
Can I reduce the cost of my coaching program through a tax deduction?
In general, yes. Germany and many other countries allow individuals, freelancers and businesses to claim coaching and professional development as a direct income or business expense. This can reduce your total taxable income and recover a large part of the coaching cost back to you, potentially in the range of up to ~25% of the cost, through a year-end tax savings. Just save your invoice for that year end conversation with your accountant, and advise them to declare the expenditure. Magnetic Mind is a registered coaching business and will issue you an invoice for your expense and tax records.
Is coaching with you an intense or stressful experience?
Not at all, feel safe, it’s not an intense or stressful experience, rather a fun and uplifting one. We move at a comfortable pace and only discuss as much as is needed for the moment. It’s a two way dialogue. I coach with a very flexible program structure, so you are welcome to steer the direction with any questions or insights that come to mind. It’s not a bootcamp.
What is something people would be surprised to learn about you?
Although I grew up on a remote grain farm in the quiet Canadian Prairies, I have indigenous Mayan heritage and lived in Guatemala through part of my youth. My mother is Guatemalan, and my father is Canadian.
What potential results I can expect from working with Magnetic Mind?
From my own experience and that of others:
Increased sense of Love, Joy and Freedom
Mental clarity and increased calm
How to manifest and attract what you want in life
You experience more good things happening for you
New inspiration and the ability to create it on demand
You get what you desire with much less effort
Life flows seamlessly with much less negativity
Increased self love and acceptance
Enhanced confidence and decision making
Higher awareness of your thoughts and emotions
People tell you that you inspire them, and that they enjoy being around you
The ability to re-calibrate your mood when you need to
Easier ability to navigate limiting beliefs and fears
New discoveries about yourself and your life
The confidence to envision, create and feel deserving of good things and experiences for yourself
Do I already need to be familiar with how the Mind Works or The Law of Attraction?
No. We explore both subjects together in a fun and easy way. It’s definitely not complicated. You will develop a good grasp of how the mind and your thoughts direct the emotions you feel, which in turn contribute to the reality and experiences you create for yourself in life. You will develop an intimate knowledge of how The Law of Attraction applies to everything, including you, and how you can work with it to create the life you truly desire, based on the principle of, “what you put out, is what you get back.”
Do you have any simple practices that people can try out themselves to see how the Law of Attraction works?
The Law of Attraction is always at play in your life, and you can find proof of this in your past. A great exercise to do, is a life lookback. Remember a time when you manifested something amazing into your life. Now work backwards and carefully identify when you may have had any initial spark of inspiration, strong emotional desire, or intention related to that grand outcome. Review the period between those two points, and look for the clues and patterns to how things unfolded. Does it seem like the Universe aligned in your favor? It did, because you were applying the principles of the Law of Attraction appropriately. You see, you are manifesting all the time, whether it is the things you want or the things you don’t want.
Do I have to take notes during coaching sessions?
You are welcome to take notes and inspirational ideas down during our calls; however, I don’t suggest writing everything down word for word. You’ll find when you’re writing too much down, you may not be fully present in discussion, and that’s where our journey takes place. I make it really easy for you. After each session, I send you an overview of key takeaways, exercises and tools for your reference. If I happen to share my screen during one of our sessions, with a concept or diagram to assist our discussion, know that you will receive it after the session.
Is manifesting just a bunch of fluffy nonsense?
Nope. When you get something you really, truly desired in life, and you take a moment to reflect on it, you will discover a chain of serendipitous events have generally transpired. It likely started with a clear thought that led to an intention or desire to have it, the mindset that you could have it (or it was already yours to have), visions of what your life would look and feel like with it, and actions inspired by strong emotions. Not only that, but it might even feel like everything in the universe aligned along your path to it. It almost feels a bit magical, how it all went down. This is what The Law of Attraction is about, and we go through how it works, and applies to you and everything in our world. You learn and practice the tools to truly transform the way you think and get what you want! I’d will tell you some pretty magical stories from my life.
How can I pay you?
Payments are made in full prior to the start of our coaching. You can pay in cash or by bank transfer, whichever you prefer. I will provide you with my bank account information before we get started. Once our coaching engagement has started, partial refunds are not possible. I invite you to believe that your payment represents your commitment, and an investment into your personal wellbeing.
Do you issue an invoice?
Yes, I can issue you, your business, or employer an invoice with all the necessary details. You can use this for your expense or tax records.
How else might I finance my coaching program?
Many companies want to invest in the personal and professional development of their people. Talk to your employer to see if they would support your coaching journey by covering all or part of the fees. Infuse your work and team with Purpose and positivity, and learn to lead and mentor from a heart space. Consider you can also enroll friends or family in your desire to receive coaching; they care for you and truly want to see you succeed and develop in wonderful ways. If appropriate, ask for their support, or possibly inspire them to join you in a group coaching to help with the costs, I’m more than happy to discuss this option with you.
What if I have to postpone sessions due to a holiday or unexpected circumstance?
That’s not a problem, we all take holidays and have things come up unexpectedly in life. We can work and plan around your schedule, even if that means taking a week or more break between sessions. If you have to reschedule a planned session for some unexpected reason, just let me know and we’ll pick it back up as soon as it’s possible again.
What brought you to Berlin and what makes it home for you?
Me and my wife individually started receiving strong signs and emotional responses pointing us to Berlin. In August 2019 a conversation sparked us to realize that we were both tuned in on the same frequency. By October that same year, we had sold it all and were on route to Berlin. Another fun fact… in 2018 we visited Berlin on a holiday, and on the last evening at a patio in Prenzlauer Berg, we said to ourselves, “wouldn’t it be lovely to live in this neighborhood, on this street…” We now live on that street and overlook the neighborhood. Now that’s manifesting!
