I like long names and I cannot lie!

Blue Lotus Integrative Health.  

It's a mouthful, that's for sure.  

And even though every marketing gene in my body says I should shorten the name, I know that, long though it may be, this name is the one that feels right.

When I was coming up with the name for my coaching business, I wanted to choose one that really meant something to me. 

Something that inspired me and, hopefully, would inspire others as well. 

Turns out, I am apparently inspired by lengthy URLs  ;)

Let's break it down....

Blue: 

My favourite colour and the colour most associated with peace and tranquility, qualities I hope to bring to my coaching practice.  

Pretty straight forward, don't you think?

Lotus: 

The Lotus flower is simple and beautiful and has long been a symbol of re-birth and re-newal.  

Rooted in the mud, the lotus leaves and flowers flourish high above the water, rising up out of the murky depths to blossom clean and bright.   They symbolize purity, resurrection and enlightenment; the perfect symbol for the life coaching process and it's ability to help people make powerful and transformative changes in their lives. 

Integrative: 

The heart of my life coaching practice comes from assisting my clients in gaining better rapport with their Unconscious Mind and integrating this awareness into their daily lives.  

It is estimated that over 95% of daily activity is controlled by our unconscious mind. From our breath to our heartbeat to what we pay attention to in the world around us, most of what we experience we do not experience consciously.  

Right now, at this moment, you are sitting in front of your computer, or looking at your tablet or phone, seeing these words on your screen.  You are aware of what you are reading and you know that you are in a particular setting, right? But how much of what you are experiencing are you unaware of? Up until this moment, I bet you were not aware of the sensation of your feet on the floor, or the sound of your breath.  In fact, until I mentioned it, you were likely unaware of many things going on around you, and yet your eyes, your ears and all your other senses are taking in this information. So where is it going? If you are not aware of it, where does all this sensory input go? 

The answer, of course, is your Unconscious Mind.  

With so much of your everyday life being monitored by your Unconscious Mind, it makes sense to get to know it better, doesn't it?  Some may call this Intuition, others may refer to it as Source or Life-force. 

Whatever label you give it, creating a connection with your Unconscious Mind gives you access to your own inner wisdom and this integration is one of the most powerful tools we have. 

Health:

Well, this is an easy one.  

Health, defined as being "a state free from illness or injury".  

It is the goal of most individuals to maintain and even enhance their health.  It is the cornerstone of our longevity and the sometimes illusive goal that many spend their lives chasing when all along the tools were right under their very noses. 

Life devoid of health can be cumbersome and fraught with pain.  Health is something we all desire and something that we all have control over, whether we know it or not. 

So there you have it.  

Blue. 
Lotus. 
Integrative. 
Health. 

A long name with a short purpose: to help propel you forward into the life you've always dreamed of.  

Simple, isn't it?
