Mentorship and Supervision for Health & Wellness Coaches


New Programs!  Virtual Mentorship, Practice Sessions, & Supervision for Health & Wellness Coaches:
​
My Inspiration: During my professional training as a therapist, I was required to conduct sessions either behind a one-way mirror or by sharing recordings so that my professors and fellow graduate students could observe my work. Supervision consisted of me bravely sitting in the “hot seat” where I received valuable feedback. We learned from each other. This challenging experience left me more confident in my professional abilities by the end of the program. Today, I offer Health & Wellness Coaches the same opportunity to build confidence and sharpen professional skills.

Mission: By using a didactic and competency-based approach, I  provide a personal, supportive, compassionate, and safe learning environment where you are offered the opportunity to courageously share your real-life work. Professional supervision and guidance will be respectfully and kindly offered. We will collaborate to help you build self-efficacy and confidence while you develop your skills in the coaching competencies identified by the NBHWC. Focus for our work will be primarily on the Coaching Process competencies. 

Space is limited. Please contact me to confirm scheduling availability. 

Small Groups must register together.

What others are saying!
​

As a new coach I’ve become very aware of the need for continuous feedback on my coaching practice. It’s easy to settle into a way of doing things if I’m not continually challenged.

​When I was in my coach training program, we had consistent feedback on every session. In hindsight, I recognize that as one of the more powerful components of the program and I miss having that feedback. Working with Shannon was a wonderful experience to help me dip into the collaborative work that I feel is so vital to my professional growth. Her vast experience in many fields shows up in all she does, and this was very reassuring to me. She’s a skilled and masterful coach and that level shines through in every part of our work together.

I chose to work with Shannon mostly because of her hefty credentials and experience. She knows coaching and she also knows effective supervision.

Shannon was a powerful force when it came to eliciting my own ideas for where I wanted to focus my goals. Her collaborative and friendly style were the epitome of an open invitation to grow. Knowing I would have to stretch out of my comfort zone was a bit unsettling at first, but she created such a safe place that I never really had a chance to feel uncomfortable at all.
I was able to choose an area to work on, and then after talking about and watching my short video snippet together, she let me reflect on what was important to me. Her questions were so skillful and her style so calm and open that I found myself ‘thinking out loud’ and coming up with my own questions to ideas for improving. I even surprised myself and was able to see some ways that I have made progress.

I’m convinced this would not have happened without her as a guide, asking powerful questions, and reflecting, and working as a collaborative partner. This may have been the best ‘coaching’ experience I’ve had. Even though she calls it supervision, it felt like masterful coaching.
She knows how to help people move and grow!

I really thought it was going to be intimidating to work with someone of her caliber and credentials. I was planning on gritting my teeth and diving in, because I knew how important supervision is to my professional growth. But working with Shannon was not a chore, and certainly not uncomfortable in any way. It was something I looked forward to every session! She has really crafted a program that sets the standard high!

Absolutely yes! Receiving supervision for continual growth is an important function and standard for all coaches. What makes Shannon’s program unique is that she manages to supervise while also practicing what she knows about empowering people to reach their full potential. It is a very rewarding experience!

​Coaches believe in coaching. If I am not willing to make improvements myself, how can I be effective in helping others make changes? I am always open to honing my skills and had been looking for supervision when I was fortunate enough to connect with Shannon.

I chose Creating Momentum because of Shannon’s multi-faceted background. I knew that someone with such diverse experience would be an innovative thinker and have a lot to offer as a mentor. 

[As a result of supervision with Shannon], I was able to see some blind spots but also appreciate some things that I am doing well and not giving myself credit for. For example, Shannon pointed out a few times when I didn’t speak immediately and just listened for what my client would say next. By recognizing this strength I was able to lean into it more and have more confidence which was empowering. 

Creating Momentum exceeded my expectations because our sessions were so dynamic. The feedback given was constructive and easy to implement in future sessions. There is also no fluff. Shannon dives right in and you get to work. No time is wasted. 

I would recommend Creating Momentum to coaches at every level. Shannon is truly gifted at making people feel comfortable and offers a perspective that can only come from a masterful coach.
