Not long ago I was in conversation with a physical therapist I know on Instagram about what we’d like to learn more about from one another. I shared that I seek resources for students with hyperextension/mobility, and Kelli told me:
“It could be interesting to learn more about how you coach dancers who need to adapt in their careers either due to severe injury or age or other factors that are cause for shifting of focus.”
- Physical Therapist Kelli Barton Schneider @electricedgemovement
I thought it would be great to address this in a blog article and podcast, as working with the right coach is an awesome move for dancers and other creatives in transition.
Being creative by nature, it just takes an effective structure or container and catalyzing support to create empowered, transformational change!
My clients typically come to me for support around massive career shifts and tricky health challenges, as well as working through nasty breakups and other cataclysmic shifts. In short, folks dealing with radical change, whether it is chosen and wanted or totally unexpected, seek out coaching for effectively navigating the thrilling and terrifying transitions of life.
I have supported clients through career transitions such as from working within an organization to becoming an entrepreneur or founding a nonprofit, going back to school, taking on leadership positions, coping with injury, disability, and diagnosis, jumping from field-to-field, radical changes of medium, specialty and/or geography.
They could be struggling to find any semblance of balance in changing life circumstances, or yearn to integrate seemingly disparate needs, interests, and passions. What all my clients have in common is wanting to live purposefully, passionately, and creatively.
In the podcast I discuss the change process, coaching container, and my signature program.
My approach is holistic, rigorous, and truly unique, but you don’t have to take my word for it, you can experience the difference firsthand in a complimentary discovery call. Better than trying to explain how coaching works is to put the tools to work and see how the coaching container and process could transform your life!

I would love to connect with you on Instagram, where I regularly post and go live @ablythecoach as well as my weekly email newsletter.
More details and further testimonials also available on my coaching page. In future articles I'll continue to share key tools and distinctions and expand upon the five touchstones of my signature program!
