Margit Von Helps to Create Motivation & Inspiration—SPONSORED

A coach can help you identify the habits that are not working for you and set goals to change them. The process offers a holistic approach that is very much a mentoring relationship that creates a key ingredient for success-accountability.

What motivated you to become a health and life coach?
I spent over 25 years as a landscape designer and found myself advising clients and friends… I saw the difference it made in their lives, so it was a natural fit. 

What is your central philosophy to coaching and how is your approach unique?
I take a holistic approach by looking at all aspects of my client’s lifestyle… I hold a vision of the future that they desire, as if the results have already happened.  

How do you envision a healthy, well-balanced person? 
I feel a healthy, well-balanced person is content and living the life they want to live—one who acknowledges the beauty within themselves and the power to change. 

What are the ingredients for a fulfilling life from your point of view? 
Identifying what is important to you and having the inspiration to make it happen. Creativity and self-awareness are key to personal fulfillment. 

“Change your habits, change your life.” What does that mean?
To change a habit is to change a behavior. Change happens through the little choices we make in each moment of every day.

How do habits define our lives?
Habits are an efficient way to save us time and energy. It’s about identifying which ones are self-defeating and may be impeding us from living the life we desire.

How does your coaching method create lasting change? 
Understanding that change is a step-by-step process, not an event. As we continue to build upon what is working in our sessions, my clients discover the art of self-mastery.

What is self-mastery?
There are many facets to self-mastery. Basically, it is a command of oneself through acquiring the understanding and awareness to enhance physical, mental, and spiritual well-being with the habits, thoughts, emotions, and actions that serve the positive self.

What can clients expect when they begin this process with you? 
The initial consultation starts the foundation of the relationship and helps me achieve clarity on what an individual wants to be experiencing. I am here to guide them to their goals by providing a safe space and judgment free zone. Our work together is a place for transformation.

How do you create a goal or focus for your sessions? 
I guide my clients to discover where they are right now, where they want to be, and what the best pathway to success is for each individual. This focus helps them connect to their truth. 

How do you help the client stay on track?
We both make a commitment and take responsibility for our part in the process. My method of coaching provides the right accountability, and the right support and guidance to stay on track.  

What do you find rewarding about working with people? 
Seeing my clients become happier, healthier, and more energetic as they achieve their goals and advance their personal development.
