Meet Twyla Stanifer
In 2007 my life was in a spiral, I was losing myself and my hope of tomorrow. My physical health was falling apart and effecting ALL areas of my life: body-mind-spirit. There were days I truly did not have the desire to go on and for several years to follow it was an up and down ride. It is through my personal journey that I began to appreciate the power of being coach-able. I have been challenged and have learned valuable lessons from the influence of others whom I invited to be a part of my life. In the last 13 years I have journeyed with mentors, counselors, coaches, and natural health practitioners who believed fullness of life was available for me too! My journey of working on all areas of health: physical, emotional, and spiritual, has brought me to where I am today. Today, I have not "arrived" or "conquered all"; however, I have learned what I need to live a balanced life. I have learned that my emotional health is much more important than I ever realized. I have learned that with the right tools (heart coaching), I can have a growing relationship with God, manage life as it happens, and feel good physically. I believe we were created for fullness and longevity of life; and that these things do not come without personal awareness and intentional action.
As a coach, I enjoy working with those who have come to this same realization. It all begins with a desire to grow. Once you acquire this, your dream of creating a more balanced and enjoyable life can become reality! My diverse background of *education combined with 25+ years of life and career experience allow me to connect with and coach a variety of individuals, couples, and groups. I am an ordained elder in the Wesleyan Church and strive to live a life reflective of God’s grace and love; these beliefs and desire for a growing relationship with Jesus are reflective in my coaching style.
In my years of coaching and counseling I have met numerous individuals and couples who are frustrated with not getting where they want to be; though many are unable to articulate exactly where that place is. Being on "target" to reach a certain place or goal requires personal assessment, having the right equipment and tools and, for efficiency, requires great coaching and mentoring.
Together, my husband Chris and I facilitate retreats through our organization, Off Trail Retreats. We bring a genuine, unique style to retreats that highlight life experience and training in the area of spiritual formation, marriage, and sexuality.
On a day all to myself I enjoy reading a good book, relaxing in a quiet home or remote cabin, with a spa treatment in the schedule. Top the day off with a date with my amazing husband at a quiet farm to table bistro and I am pretty sure I have experienced a bit of heaven. The lesson I will cherish for a lifetime is that a balanced life is a healthy life, and that downtime is a part of a balanced life. When was the last time you had a day all to yourself? When was the last time you had two hours to yourself?
