Coaching may be the answer for you. I am Catherine Campaigne and I work with people who are looking for better lives, who want to make big changes in their lives. Are you suffering with an addiction? Looking for a new job or more money? A new relationship? New living quarters?

Quitting Smoking

I quit smoking in 1999, and have lots of experience with people who are trying to quit smoking. Here are the eight steps I use when working with my clients:

1. EVALUATE. We coach about where you are now, and talk about your strengths and challenges.
2. MOVE TOWARD BELIEF. You look at your belief structures: do you believe you can quit?
3. PREPARE A PLAN. Together we prepare a quit plan, looking at what has stopped you in the past and what challenges you might face after you quit.
4. SET A DATE. You pick a date that is not too far off, but gives you enough time to be ready to quit.
5. STOP SMOKING. You stop smoking, throw away your pack(s), and other smoking items. Armed with your plan, you will have all you need to support you as you quit.
6. FINE TUNE. We “fine-tune” your quit plan, taking into account new information that comes up during your post-quitting time.
7. MAINTAIN. We create a maintenance plan for you to help you stay on track and avoid the pitfalls of starting up again.
8. CHECK-IN. We arrange for periodic check-ins over a period of time.

Addiction

I am a trained recovery coach, and can work with people recovering from addictions. I am happy to talk to you about your addiction issues; please call me to set up an appointment for a free consultation.

I have 10 years recovery in Nicotine Anonymous, my primary program, but am very familiar with other addictions and I believe that we use our addictions to relieve our pain and discomfort. Many techniques are useful for all addictions.

Change

It can be daunting to make changes in your life, your work, your lifestyle. Together we work through your concerns, and make a firm plan for how you want to approach your changes. Your motivation and the amount of energy and willingness will make a big difference in how quickly you achieve your goals. Our weekly check-ins will keep you on track.

I use visualization, vision boards, research, planning and preparation as tools in my work with you. Your commitment and willingness to put in the time and energy makes up the rest.

What other kinds of changes are you looking for in your life? Call or e-mail me to set up an appointment for a free consultation, and we will see if we can work together. I look forward to hearing from you!
