As a life coach, I am particularly concerned about how we are all doing during this "Orwellian Fantasy", as one writer has put it, and how we're coping with the uncertainty and social disruption. Sometimes called the Great Reset, this time can be one of opportunity and change.

Carol O'Connor of O'Connor Therapeutics has been an incredible help to me over these past few months.
She has been counseling me regarding a longtime project that I am working on.
I am a writer and have been planning to write a book for 20 years.
But I was stuck on this project.
With Carol's advice and guidance, I am now bringing this project to fruition slowly, step by step from a planning schedule to my own personal schedule. Just 20 mins a day physically decluttering my office while mentally decluttering my thoughts has made a world of difference in my life.
She helped me to discover that doing things a little bit at a time instead of trying to tackle a huge project all at once is the key to my success.
Carol exudes a calmness which immediately makes her clients feel comfortable.
She is extremely patient and most importantly, an avid listener.
I highly recommend her as a life coach for anyone who needs assistance in their lifetime goals whatever they may be.

What do you love most about your job?
For people local to me, I am a registered massage therapist with a special interest in headaches. Since most of these are generated from the tension in the upper back, we figure out together what is happening in the client's environment, their posture, their stresses. I love being able to resolve the headaches as well as the various causes of the physical stressors.
Life coaching in its various forms is an extension of this, where we get to dig into the nature of stressors that are affecting the physical body. It's a deeper layer of the manual work I already do, and a possibly more permanent solution to the deeper problems facing many people.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've been in an entrepreneurial role for most of my life, teaching abroad, and working for myself as well as subcontracting for others, with the occasional employment gig. I work well in both settings, but need a certain amount of freedom.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm a quiet sort, I like to think deeply about things that underlie our feelings and decisions. Not that I've always made the right decisions! But having failed at certain things, I can see beyond the perspective of a safe or perfect life and how to survive when life just doesn't go that way. Whether you've made the mistake, or as in the current moment, it has been foisted unfairly upon you, there is always a way to come to your peace.
I won't be pushing you around boot camp style. You'll need to be brave and quietly go about finding the solutions that are best for you - because they'll come from within, from your deepest, wise knowing. I'll help you listen to that voice, if you can.
