"What is coaching?"

What is coaching, you ask... Well, there are many answers to that, but the simple one is that coaching moves you from where you are to where you want to be.  

My role as a coach is to ask powerful questions, and not give answers, but rather to facilitate and support you in discovering your own answers, beliefs, and values.   I believe that you are capable and whole and that through the coaching process, you can find your true voice and will recognize and harness your power and gifts.  With my guidance, you will cross the bridge from “I can’t do this” to “Yes, I can!”

At some point, fear will show up, obstacles will appear, and doubts will creep in. But through continued exploration and empowering practices, and with my unwavering support, you can feel great living the life that is a full expression of you!

What is your natural way of being in the world?
What lights you up? 
What goals or dreams are you hoping to achieve in the next year, five years, or ten years? 
What is holding you back from living your life fully?

 Let's find out together in a coaching call.  I provide coaching over the phone and via Zoom, so it is not only COVID-safe, but you can do it in your pajamas!

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

— Howard Thurman, mentor to Martin Luther King, Jr.

 People often seek coaching when they are:

  • Going through a major life change, work transition, or milestone

  • Noticing unhealthy or damaging patterns they fear they can’t change

  • Wanting to find their life purpose or true calling

  • Searching for their dream life, but don’t know where to start

    Does this sound like you?

 “Had a mind-blowing weekend of the good kind. First off, my life-coaching group chose a fantastic name for ourselves, BRIDGES. Acronym for: Belief, Resilience, Inspiration, Drive, Good Energy, Support--what a recipe for success! On top of that, my BRIDGES buddies and Coach Rebecca, helped me to a real breakthrough in getting past a powerful self-limiting belief that was holding me back. Just the Bridge I needed to go from here to there.

Meet Coach Rebecca Strauss

As a Certified Life Coach (CLC) who knows what it feels like to be on the other side of a coaching relationship, I can help you clarify your true gifts and appreciate your authentic self.  Through my work as a professional classical musician, I have learned to harness my desire to help others into a career of service. Life coaching is an extension of my work as a performing artist and therapeutic music practitioner.

Simply put, I believe coaching can be a profound form of healing and growth!

I have performed at Buckingham Palace for Princess Anne and survivors of acid violence attacks, worked on restorative justice through therapeutic music at a men’s prison, and provided community concerts and subsequent healing music to support the families of homicide victims.  In each case my ability to be present, to believe in a person’s wholeness and their capacity to transform pain into power has inspired them to live a better life. I love spending time with my partner and dog, gardening, taking hikes in nature, and sitting down with my friends for deep conversations.

My uniquely varied background allows me to synthesize different modalities to support and encourage each client’s individual path.

Kind Words From Past Clients

Homepage Testimonials

“I feel incredibly grateful and blessed for the opportunity to receive this powerful help. Rebecca’s questions are provocative and incisive, getting to the heart of the issues, and fearlessly direct. I like the way she thoughtfully frames questions and waits so patiently but expectantly for me to respond. These sessions have really helped me evaluate the success of my work so far, where I would like to go from here, and how I am doing emotionally and holistically in the process.”

— Cathy Anderson

“Rebecca is rare among life coaches because she is a rare human being. I have had the enormous privilege of having known her before she became a certified coach. She has had the best qualities of a coach years before she became certified: empathy, intelligence, creativity, compassion, talent, humor and patience, in addition to having walked a deeply personal path in one of the toughest creative careers, that of the high-level professional musician. I have left every session with Rebecca feeling lighter, clearer, empowered, and focused on what means the most to me. Her ability to extract clarity and purpose from complexity is magical. Cannot recommend Rebecca enough! Book your session now.”

— Nora Karakousoglou
