About Diane Linsley
I've been a certified life coach since 2014. I've also had many years of experience using various modalities, including shadow work, Voice Dialogue , dreamwork and guided meditation .
I have studied cognitive development , Jungian psychology, and various spiritual traditions, including Christianity and Zen Buddhism. I consider myself to be a Christian mystic , but I love all traditions.
Life Experiences
One of the biggest challenges of my life is autoimmune disease, which began at age 20. I've spent decades studying alternative medicine and adjusting my diet and lifestyle to be as healthy as possible. Chronic pain and illness have taught me compassion and understanding for the suffering of all human beings.
I've been an avid gardener for many years, and I'm the owner of Diane's Flower Seeds . Being close to nature is essential for my health, happiness and spiritual development.
I raised three children and homeschooled them. They are now happy, successful adults, and I'm very proud of them. I went through a painful divorce after the kids left home. Then I entered the coaching academy and became a life coach. Four years later, I met my current husband, who is a very kind man.
Life Coaching
The main premise of my coaching is that awareness is the key to everything. With enough awareness, you will no longer be a victim of random negative thoughts and feelings. You will have more control over how you think and act.
You will also see yourself more clearly. Sometimes this is quite painful, which is why I emphasize self-compassion . Learning to forgive yourself and process your emotions will make the spiritual journey much easier.
I've worked with people from many different religious backgrounds, and I respect each person's individual journey. I have lots of resources that I share with others to help them along the way.
Be well,
Diane Linsley
