Life Coaching

I had a very good connection with John. He was great to talk to!

4 July 2018

My experiences so far have been astounding. Through johns help I started to pray for a shift in my life and finances.
I just received a totally unexpected gift of a large sum of money and see it as an opening of the financial channel. Very unexpected and much appreciated.

Looking forward to more positive experiences.

TESTIMONIAL FOR JOHN MUDIE, LIFE COACH
I have been working with John for 10 months. Over that time, I have noticed improvements in my life, but it is hard for me to determine whether these were a direct result of my work with John, as I am doing other self-improvement work at the same time. However, John recently made a suggestion that changed things for me radically. I am in school and I am a perfectionist. Getting less than an A was totally unacceptable to me. As a result, my life was way out of balance, skimping on self-care chasing those A’s. I was stressed, pushing myself, and finding myself resistant to doing school work as a result. I was frustrated and miserable. During a recent coaching session John gave me a challenge that I was resistant to at first: “I want you to get a C on purpose.” The very idea was appalling! But we discussed ways I could bring more balance into my life with self-care, etc. The whole notion was completely paradoxical, revolutionary, and ultimately transformative. With John’s support, I made a calendar and schedule for myself, and as a result I am experiencing less stress, more peace and calm, more balance in my life, and I believe I am actually getting more done! I put less pressure on myself and have reevaluated perfectionism vs quality of life. Despite myself, I still got an A in one class, and am doing the best I can, without “killing myself”, in the other!
When John and I started working together I had been unemployed and unable to pay rent so had been evicted. I had just gotten a temp-to-hire job which came with housing. John provided me with much-needed coaching support during the months of insecurity while I waited for the temporary employment to become permanent. In addition, I was concerned about some expensive storage I had in another city. With John’s coaching, I was able to get my storage moved closer to me with much better rates. Also, I have had a very strained relationship with my son for years. Today, with the support of John and others, I have been able to come to terms with the situation and am much more at peace with it.
With John’s help and coaching support, I have gone from being unemployed, watching TV all day and evicted to being housed, employed, taking and passing courses with A’s, on track to achieving a specific career goal, and at peace with my relationship with my son. I have never felt better, been happier or more productive in my life! And things just keep getting better! Yes, I’m doing the work, but John and others are here to cheer me on with support and encouragement.

I had the pleasure of working with John Mudie who introduced me to HeartMath® . The thing I found helpful is the HeartMath technique of breathing into my heart and cultivating gratitude, then I can get into my heart. In remembering the kindnesses of my spiritual teacher and former husband I was able to get into Heart Coherence. John gave me the assignment to do two five-minute sessions a day. He also mentioned that I would have more energy to counteract depletion and burnout. Wow what a difference! I did a HeartMath procedure way more than twice a day. Whenever I felt the slightest irritation, such as when a driver cuts me off on the highway I just went into the appropriate HeartMath technique.
I was so inspired that I took on the self-assignment of dealing with my procrastination.
I am a major major procrastinator. Months ago, I had a bad bonding filling which lasted only a week. Not only did I called the dental clinic to address this problem, I also got my bonding redone at no extra charge.
In a flurry of inspiration, I proceeded to tackle all those other procrastinations which I had put off for years. For example, yours truly had purchased eight years ago a very fancy and expensive Garmin sports watch which monitors my caloric expenditure while exercising. Since I loathe reading manuals I had never figured out how to use the ruddy watch. I called the company and talked with a very nice woman who walked me through the steps. Eureka I now know how to use my sports watch.* Another example in the benefits of heart coherence is when I’m under stress. A perfect example in point is when my ignition switch on my ancient Volvo got jammed, which happens from time to time. Instead of getting all wigged out I just breathed into my heart, developed gratitude and became totally relaxed and chilled out for several minutes. My ignition switch became un-jammed and all was right with me and the world.
I have to thank John’s consummate skills in teaching me these techniques. I would highly recommend anyone to work with John and to see the benefits first hand of HeartMath techniques.

John’s Heart Math coaching sessions saw me through a grueling experience. His coaching kept me centered and safe from becoming over-stressed. I highly recommend his expertise in this practice. Not only is John skilled in Heart Math coaching, he is highly educated, and also experienced in several other healing modalities including Life Coaching, 12-Step philosophy and spiritual healing. Whatever you’re going through in your life John’s coaching will help you through it.

The coach was as sincerely interested that I grow, change and move forward in my life as I was. Knowing that inspired me and gave me energy to take action. He listened well and took notes, kept commitments and held me to mine; however, taking time out of my sessions to discuss financial arrangements was uncomfortable especially when they changed a couple of times. Also paying up front, to me, felt fear based and lacking trust, which took away from the possible 5 starness of the meetings. More...

John helped me successfully to work out insecurities regarding my music career. After our coaching I was able to know where to go next. I have a clear plan to move forward now. I felt really understood by John and as person he models courage and growth to me. His commitment to aliveness is infectious! More...

John was focused and listened to me 100% then asked just the right questions that led me to a solution. He never told me what to do, he just guided me. John is a highly skilled coach. Don’t miss an opportunity to work with him. More...

Life Coaching

I found John, from Compassionate Coaching, to be responsive, positive, and interested in moving me out of a stuck position into positive free flowing energy. We were able to communicate easily over Skype from the comfort of my home. I could make notes and be 100% comfortable. John was patient and waited for me to get on board with new ideas when appropriate. He used excellent followup and really held me accountable for the goals I set. I was able to move a complicated, fearful relationship problem with a co-worker into a positive place quite easily with targeting the outcome I wanted. I recommend you give John a try and his Compassionate Coaching approach. More...

Q&As

I love supporting and watching people grow. To see them do things that they have wanted to do for a long time and they finally do it. To watch clients come into my sessions with a difficulty in front of their face. Then they leave a session with a smile on their face becuase they know what they need to do to make progress in their lives

About two years ago I realized that what I had been doing in all my past careers was to support people in growing and that I could concentrate on that by joing coaching. In the past I coached graduate students at the University of California to become Ph.D.s. Later I coached addicts and alcoholics to get clean and sober. Then and now I am helping people whoe have been diagnosed with severe mental illness to improve their livea.

Because their heart tells them that I can help them succeed in growing and getting more peace and serenity in their lives.

Services

I can be reached easily and cheaply from anywhere in the world because I use Zoom. When we both use Zoom we can see each other's faces , as well as hearing voices. But if you don't have a camera on your computer, we can also connect free from most anywhere in the world where there is a phone line or mobile phone service. I can also use Skype

By the end of March 2018, I intend to be a certified HeartMath Coach/Mento supporting people in reducing their stress levels by increasing their Heart Rate Variability Coherence. I am already doing that for myself.
