Walking Coaching Sessions in Santa Barbara

@ the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden

  • Walking Coaching Sessions is an open invitation for a somatic coaching experience in Santa Barbara California.

    Empower your journey with Personal Development Coaching outdoors. Explore the forefront of holistic personal growth with our coaching sessions designed for anyone looking to enhance their life.

    Discover the benefits of a walking coaching session:

    • Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Walking, especially in natural settings, significantly lowers stress and anxiety levels, promoting a calmer state of mind.

    • Enhanced Self-Awareness and Reflection: Encourages deeper connection with one's thoughts and feelings, fostering personal insight and growth.

    • Increased Creativity: Stimulates creative thinking by providing a change of scenery and a relaxed mental state, allowing for the exploration of new ideas.

    • Improved Cognitive Function: Regular walking enhances memory, focus, and problem-solving skills, contributing to better mental agility.

    • Strengthened Emotional Resilience: Builds coping mechanisms for stress and adversity, enhancing the ability to maintain emotional stability in challenging situations.

    Walking coaching sessions uniquely combine the benefits of physical exercise, exposure to nature, and personal development coaching. This holistic approach supports not only physical well-being but also mental and emotional health, offering a comprehensive strategy for improving overall quality of life.

    I am proud to offer waking sessions at the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens.

  • We begin with a discovery call, once we have established that coaching is a valuable investment for you. Together we confirm the following:

    1. We agree that there is an opportunity for rapport and trust established.

    2. We have an understanding that the human-centric process is holistic: mind, body, spirit.

    3. A decision has been made that we are both equally committed to your transformation.

    Together, we begin our journey.

  • Individual Walking Coaching Sessions are invoiced on an hourly basis. I offer the following packages:

    3 Sessions: open for first time clients.

    6 Sessions: every other week

    12 Sessions: every week

    The entry fee to the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden is included. The Garden offers accessible pathways and trails. Visit HERE for more information.

    I provide sliding-scale pricing options to ensure every person and business is empowered to thrive.

Am I ready for Coaching?

The Process

  • This initial step is about recognizing the need for growth and committing to a path that leads to personal and professional evolution.

    Once you have made the decision, change is inevitable.

  • This is a process of preparation where we set clear, purposeful intentions that offer a beginning point. This phase involves understanding your goals and aligning your mindset to pursue them diligently.

    We hold these intentions gently, always allowing space for you to redefine as we dive into the work of self actualization.

  • Simply, what is getting in the way of you achieving your goals. We co create a fluid and open space for discovery of core beliefs and assumptions. This phase is where we are in the process of uncovering, adjusting, realigning.

    Our coaching partnership creates a supportive space to define what self actualization looks, feels and is for you.

  • Conclude with a period of rest, reflection and integration. We take a moment to pause and assess the journey, consolidate learnings, and embrace the changes you've committed to.

    Collaboratively we integrate your commitments into your day to day though structure and accountability.

Show Up.

My purpose is deeply influenced by my own experiences in cultivating a fulfilled life. I have been a dedicated student of Personal Development for over 20 years. I am, with gratitude, ready to share my knowledge and experience as a professional coach to build a relationship with my clients that empower transformative growth and self-discovery. I am dedicated to strengthening the human experience, deepening connections to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

My coaching philosophy centers on entrusting you, the client, to be the driver of our journey. It is my great honor to provide a safe space for you to go inward to understand your deepest truths. I have found that mindfulness, clarity and compassion foster a safe space where there is nothing assumed, and everything to be discovered. Collaboratively we nurture and ground our new discoveries, integrating change at a sustainable pace that allows you to step out of the dark in to your full expression with confidence.

This is my gift, you are not alone in the journey to clear the pathway between your heart and head.

In service, Cristi Silva
