Hello,
You are busy and we know that, so here is what we think you most need to know.
In more than two decades of organizational and family work, we at coaching for LIFE have witnessed the extreme destruction and ultimate dissolution of healthy, connected relationships in which the human mind/body/spirit should evolve and thrive.
We believe that it is time to change the focus NOW. Let coaching for LIFE assist you in discovering and utilizing resources to intentionally, purposefully and consciously create non-violent, emotionally safe organizations, institutions, communities and families.
The long-term and unresolved effects of trauma and stress at home and in the workplace has left us feeling numb, vague about life, and struggling to exist harmoniously from day to day. The goal of living peacefully and providing a healthy existence for our family is dramatically impacted by these feelings, and many and families crumble believing there is no way out.
Organizations and families are often trapped in vicious cycles of perpetuating trauma and pain, loss and fear. The time is NOW for surrender and transformation to a more peaceful and non-violent approach to work and life.
There is hope, there is no organization, no group and no person beyond the hope of healing~

Testimonial
It is not often you find a master orator, teacher, mentor
and friend who is also a master therapist, consultant and expert in the healing
of children and families. It is difficult to express the kind of positive
impact received by our staff and foster parents after their time with Juli
Alvarado. She is not only an expert presenter with a well-researched
message on the effects of trauma on the developing brain, but her first hand
experience with special needs children and youth as a foster and adoptive parent
is more than the "icing on the cake," but an integral part of the motivational
quality of her trainings. Of all our trainings with different
presenters over the last several years, Juli is the first to assist our foster
parents in feeling safe enough to become vulnerable about their own personal
change and need for emotional growth, rather than make the focus about the
child's behaviors. Her emphasis on the "family" and its role in
relationship attachment issues is profound and meaningful, framed with paradigms
that are embraceable and easy to remember.
Our Foster parents are gaining increased empathy for the traumatized child,
staying more "emotionally regulated" in the home, avoiding being triggered by
the "severe behaviors" demonstrated when children are operating out of a "fear
based emotion" and recognizing that their most important work is to "stay in
relationship" with the child and youth so that the "seeds of attachment" can be
transferred into adoption, reunification or other permanency goals.
Needless to say, I would recommend her highly. Her professional demeanor
is exemplary, yet she has a poignant, personal aura that allows her to make
connections with staff, administrators and foster parents alike. For
the first time since my 3 year tenure as SAFY State Director, I am deeply
excited about our ability to train our staff and therapists in assisting foster
parents as they seek to avoid the placement disruptions that have plagued our
industry for decades.
If you would like to further discuss what I think of the impact of Juli's work,
please don't hesitate to call me at 419-230-3682.
One Team, One Mission!
