What is Catholic Mindset Coaching?
It’s what all Catholics need to remove the blocks to God’s grace! Catholic Mindset Coaching helps people achieve greater degrees of wellness in every area of their life. Catholic Coaches are equipped to guide others through human formation. God’s grace builds on our human nature and our human formation is the foundation that disposes us to supernatural grace. The human person and all its God-given gifts, needs, and desires, when rightly ordered and integrated, has inestimable value in God’s plan.
Because of sin, our faculties have been darkened and we have to make a concerted effort to integrate all aspects of our emotional, cognitive, relational, and bodily life in an ordered way. But we’re not working alone! God is continuously active in our efforts to become whole again. When we neglect our human formation, we miss out on the order, grace, and healing God wants to bring into our lives that ultimately makes it easier for us to hear God’s voice, discern His will, and become everything He created us to be.
Catholic Mindset Coaching helps us reclaim the territory of our hearts, minds, and bodies from the Enemy so that we can become people capable of restoring God’s kingdom by starting with our own lives.
How is Catholic Coaching different from secular coaching?
Catholic coaches aren’t about self-aggrandizement, we’re about helping you bring forth the Kingdom of God in your life. Human beings can do some amazing things on the purely natural level. We’ve all been graciously gifted with unique gifts and resources. Catholic coaching seeks to unite those natural talents and abilities with God’s plan for your life, where God’s grace elevates those pursuits to an even higher degree.
Often secular coaches will help clients pursue good goals, yet it’s so easy to turn any good thing into an idol, to be enjoyed apart from the Giver. In contrast, a Catholic Coach invites you to prayerfully consider and pursue goals in relationship with God and in accordance with God’s plan. This approach gives recognition and authority to God, who is the ultimate agent of change and source of all good gifts.
How does mineral balancing and mindset work go together?
The word health comes from the same root as “whole” and “holy.” If healing is to occur in its fullest sense, it must involve the whole person- body and soul- in a union of love with God. Very often when we pursue greater degrees of health, the enemy wages war in our minds. He will do everything he can to keep you from growing closer to God, disrupt your attempts to better yourself, and stir disbelief about the extent of healing God desires for you.
There’s scientific evidence that our thoughts and emotions impact the mineral dynamics inside our cells. When we have a dysregulated nervous system, our bodies will struggle to get into homeostasis, and we’ll burn through our energy resources. Mindset coaching builds awareness around how tightly woven our bodies and minds are so that we can more effectively honor the body and its needs. We cultivate and offer our need for God’s grace to provide for and transform us in ways beyond our natural abilities. Mindset coaching helps move us toward our divine longing for true peace, to create the interior and exterior order we desire in our lives in accordance with God’s plan.
Further, the process of creating any new change requires God’s great gift of neuroplasticity so that the brain can be rewired for lasting change and the brain has its mineral requirements in order to make these habits permanent. Neuroplasticity requires periods of intense focus, rest, and also adequate energy resources for the brain. Replenishing your minerals gives your brain the raw materials it needs to lay down the new neuro framework to ingrain these new thought habits into your daily life.
Do you only work with Catholics?
In most situations, yes. When it comes to mindset work, the human intellect is designed by God to know the truth and then choose to act in accord with it. This is why my coaching relies on the revelation of God through the teachings of the Catholic Church for a well-formed conscience and direction towards truth that aligns with the client’s highest good.
What is the Root Cause Protocol?
The Root Cause Protocol was developed by Morley Robbins who left mainstream medicine to figure out why everyone was so sick. His research uncovered that mineral dysregulation from various forms of chronic stress is at the root cause of all symptoms. The source of chronic stress not only arises from internal states of dysregulation but also from our physical environment, where we can be nutritionally deprived or even assaulted with harmful substances that we don’t realize are working against our physiology. When stress becomes chronic, no matter where it occurs in the body, the cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems will degenerate from a loss of structure and function of not being able to create enough energy.
The key mineral players in energy production cannot be properly balanced without a strategic approach to lower excess oxidation and increase energy production. Over time, this strategy can begin to turn a dysregulated, symptom producing environment over to an energy producing, healing environment. The Root Cause Protocol essentially works by increasing energy metabolism so that the body’s wisdom will naturally use that energy to restore its functions. Whatever condition you’re dealing with, the Root Cause Protocol is designed to optimize healing capacity.
How do I know if you can help with my particular symptoms?
All chronic symptoms are the result of impaired energy production. They’re also “signals” about an imbalance that may not just appear in our physical health, but in our diet, lifestyle, emotional, or relational health. In our time together, you’ll understand the connection between your symptoms and mineral dysregulation. When we begin to bring the body back into balance by addressing energy production through mineral balance, every aspect of health increases. Human physiology depends on the ability to generate energy. When the cells can make energy efficiently and clear oxidative stress, everything begins to work better. Cell and tissue integrity, cell signaling, cell differentiation and proliferation, cell apoptosis, neurotransmitters, hormones, digestion, immunity, all organs, and organ systems depend on clean and constant energy to function well. We will discuss your symptom history in our first coaching session to help you connect the dots and make progress on your top areas of concern.
How long before I get results?
Many clients find relief in the early months of applying the protocol as you begin to replenish minerals. Chronic conditions can take 2-3 years or longer to see change. There’s a lot of variables for how quickly someone progresses, and we’ll take a look at what those may be for you specifically.
Further, physical healing doesn’t automatically occur by doing all the “right” things. There’s a huge spiritual, emotional, and mindset component to our health which is why I offer my clients support in this area as well. Often times the origination and continuation of many symptoms are from worn out patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that we acquired at some point in our life that is not serving our personal growth or our physiology.
Obviously the body doesn’t become imbalanced over night and it certainly won’t come back into balance right away. Unfortunately, many of us come into this world imbalanced so there’s a lot to take into context. But the good news is that the body is designed as a self-healing organism! It is constantly trying to get back into homeostasis and every step in the right direction means that whether you see symptoms go away completely or not, you’re going to enjoy a greater degree of health in the years going forward than you would otherwise. Our Catholic faith urges us to approach the Lord with bold confidence that he desires our healing and to pray with expectation. While we have an imperative to do all we can to remove pain and suffering, we also have the assurance that God will take all the suffering we offer him and use it for our good. So when it comes to results, with God, you’re guaranteed!
How do I decide how much coaching I may need?
Everyone’s needs will be unique so I try to offer a variety of coaching options. If you’re unsure how to get started, this is something we can discuss in a free discovery call or over email. The RCP works in phases and in the beginning there are certain fundamentals that must be addressed and foundations laid that can take some time. Everyone responds differently to the implementation and goes at their own pace. The Root Cause Protocol is ultimately a lifestyle change and something that you would want to continue indefinitely. One of the goals from our coaching relationship would be to get you to a place where you have enough knowledge and understanding of how the protocol works so that you can continue applying it on your own.
In regard to mindset coaching, it really depends on how much growth you’re seeking! Prior to booking a package or starting a session, we’ll communicate about how to define your goals and problems and this will give us an idea of how much coaching might be needed. In my own healing journey, many areas of growth presented themselves along the way that I did not anticipate, as well as many obstacles. This is why I build in a certain number of mindset coaching packages into my RCP coaching bundles but also as add-on options for support beyond the minimum included sessions.
Can I purchase just health or just mindset coaching?
Yes. Everyone is seeking something different and I’m eager to assist you if you’re exclusively seeking just RCP health coaching or just mindset coaching.
Is the Root Cause Protocol adaptable for kids?
Absolutely. In fact, so many parents are finding their way to the RCP to either address health concerns they have for their children or to optimize their children’s health and build a strong foundation for adulthood. The RCP Handbook has recommendations for how to apply the RCP to kids and I have personal experience adapting the RCP for my own children. The RCP is extremely valuable for women pre-conception and during pregnancy to equip the mother’s body for a healthy pregnancy and provide optimal health to baby. The RCP is ultimately a lifestyle change that benefits the entire family and this understanding of how the body works is something to be passed on for the health of future generations.
Are you a certified medical professional?
No, I am a coach. Coaches are about teaching clients the application of information and techniques that allow them to achieve their specific goals. Coaches support clients by showing them how to activate their own resources, offer guidance when necessary, but ultimately help the client learn do on their own what’s needed to succeed. I help you gain deeper insights about the root causes of your symptoms and how to move forward with your health goals but I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe any medications. If you have a serious mental or physical health condition that requires treatment from a physician, you will let your physician know that you are receiving health and mindset coaching to support you. If you decide to alter or discontinue any medications you are taking, you will be responsible for addressing those adjustments with your physician.
