About - Live Life with Zest

My mission is to provide the needed guidance for busy men and women who want to live an authentic life, and be able to follow their dreams and purpose with more confidence, awareness, passion and energy. It is my goal to create an experience that will take you to a whole different level of mindfulness and awareness. Those I work with come to terms to fully owning their voice and talents so they can become a radical vessel of divine unconditional love. I will challenge your long-time held beliefs, help you create new and powerful perspectives, unlearn old habits and welcome new ones that will help you perform at your absolute best. I empower you to see the greatness within you and create a reality even better than what you first envision for yourself.

During our work together, we will create a healthier lifestyle through small behavioral changes that can be adapted easily into different schedules. It's the small steps compounded with each action taken that leads to a successful completion of your health goals, whether that is to lose weight, increase mental capacity, acquire more energy, prevent disease, maintain your youthfulness glow or simply live an overall well-balanced life that is filled with joy and fulfillment.

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. Unknown

I created a system for a personalized unique approach to coaching that gives you a map to your own success using the LEAN principles which is the four building blocks of good health, for a change in Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude and Nutrition to help you craft an action plan, and we also include aspects of spirituality to help you gain intuitive awareness and clarity of your life purpose. I will be working with you as an accountable partner and guiding you every step of the way in your healing journey of becoming and of acceptance in all areas of your life. You will be able to boost your lifestyle through healthy eating, safe movement, better sleep, and finding love through sustainable behaviors that will bring about real change.

One specific solution I provide is to guide you to realize your soul's deepest desires into reality and to be able to achieve self-actualization in any or all areas of life, this is the highest goal a person can achieve.

Which brings me to why I do What I do…

Guiding Heart-Centered Busy Professionals, Caregivers and Epilepsy Warriors to Live Life with Zest using Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing

Childhood stories, lessons, and how it connects to my mission. To begin the story, we would need to go back to when I was about 5 - this number of course represents Change. And yes, it was a BIG CHANGE because this was my first memory of myself as a little girl eating dark chocolates with different shaped animals. It was my birthday but I was barely present for that day. For the first 13 years of life, I went through a hazy period of relentless multiple seizures a day. Let's just say nobody expected me to live through it. After seeing multiple doctors and healthcare practitioners, I was finally diagnosed by a Neurologist with Epilepsy. How wonderful to finally figure out what is causing one’s misfortune, as I had believed it to be, only to realize that there isn’t much choice in life for someone with this invisible disability. My determination and hope for a better life lead me to many years of studying nutrition, holistic wellness and different kinds of therapy. During this period of time, I was connected to the wisdom of the body, learning from nature and the universe that breathes life to all. Many of these healing strategies have now found its way to science. These evidence based practices are slowly being welcomed and gaining acceptance in the modern world.

I embrace my imperfections. I listen to my intuition and love my body. Louise Hay

I believe silence speaks more volume than words and listening is a skill that goes a long way. It’s because of this ability that I am able to support people in connecting to their true nature. Disconnection is what cause diseases and coaching is one of the healing arts that bridges connection between your physical to your spiritual identity.

We are often told to ignore negativity and to always focus on the positive, but in healing, we need to take a look at all sides in order to understand what truly ails us. Only after we become aware of what this pain is and give it the space it needs to breathe, will we be able to shed light on how to release it. Life is full of tragedies, and with it comes the gift of overcoming it.

A dear friend once told me that each of us dances to the beat of our own drum and this applies to many things. It relates to understanding, healing, manifestation, relationships, the timing of experiences, and so much more. I believe there is no such thing as coincidence, everything we go through is meant to happen for us for reasons beyond our own lives and ourselves. I also believe that it is our choice to choose what we want to happen for us and to create a life that we want to live. We are not meant for average unless we choose that, and that is okay and good if it is what we want. But if it’s not, then it’s to our advantage that we have this option to be someone that we set our hearts to be. We are meant to experience, to love, and to live fully. We are meant for self-mastery and to be deeply connected with ourselves, with other people, and with the world around us.

Your belief is where all the healing starts. Feeling is Healing -- your emotions, your mind, and your body. This is the premise of all of my programs.

I will be with you as you start believing and as you take action on what's possible, from transitions to transformations, all the way to your success and happiness. I truly believe that success is inevitable as long you keep moving forward, keep taking action and commit to yourself.

At the end of our lives we all ask, Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter? Brendon Burchard

Words of Gratitude …

I was in the midst of a fulltime work as an educator and was starting my business when I begun working with Madelaine. I was very busy and rarely had time to do much except for work. I was confused, had too much on my plate and was lacking confidence in my skills as a coach or speaker. I had hoped to gain more visibility and pinpoint where I have the disconnect between my inner thoughts, feelings and how I show up in the world while doing my videos. Through the coaching sessions, I identified my major blocks and was able to release it. I became more in-tune with my thoughts and feelings which helped me process where I am in my journey. As a result of the sessions, I developed deeper conversations with myself and connected with my inner sage. Healing myself from within and growing from these challenges turning them into positive emotions. Increasing my self-awareness helped me focus on creating the kind of life I want to live. I joined the group that she facilitated every week and gotten many insights, accountability and the courage that I needed in order to continue my coaching work. The best part about working with her is that I felt truly heard and seen. She went to the root cause of what was keeping me stuck and helped me get unstuck. I feel more confident and the negative internal dialogues have subsided. Madelaine believed in me and showed me that I have everything I need to be successful in life. I was empowered to be who I am and to do the best I can in every possible way. I highly recommend her as a coach if you're working on big goals and would like to achieve them!

Before I began the sessions I was in the midst of a career change, I had begun classes in computer science and was feeling under confident. I was adamant I had made the right choice on switching careers, but it was difficult to be starting over at 26. There was also doubt from friends questioning if I was making the right choice. I was in need of some reassurance and guidance on how to navigate through that experience. Through the coaching sessions, I was able to start thinking big again. I was able to work on crafting a new image of myself as a computer programmer and an aspiring entrepreneur. My coach had me thinking about what I want and how to get it, and also why I wanted to reach these goals. I enjoyed thinking about my character and how that fits into what I want to do. As a result of the sessions, I developed more confidence in my new career field. I learned about the importance of re-affirming yourself as part of a daily routine. I was also able to think deeper about how I will reach my goals and what drives me to do so. Being talked through the process helped me put aside doubts and instead focus on creating the career and future I want. The best part about the sessions is how Madelaine had a real interest in me and my story. I could sense that she was invested in me and cared about helping me reach the goals we set. As time went on, it was nice to look back on earlier sessions and see my progress. Recognizing successes is not something I tend to do as often as I should. Her coaching helped me remember the importance of expressing self-gratitude as it goes a long way in helping you lead a good career and life.
