Welcome to Beloved River Life Coaching!

My name is Tina Zimmerman and I am a trained personal coach.  I am also an ordained clergy-person and a chaplain.  I love the art of storytelling and, in some sense, coaching is an invitation into storytelling.  As you tell your story, I listen deeply and ask relevant questions that will shed light on your own wisdom.  God has designed you to learn and grow in your life. Together, let’s discover what that precious life has taught you.

A river is a powerful symbol.  A river meanders and winds its way through the terrain.  It is powerful enough to flood and yet is an ecosystem teeming with life.  There are rapids, and then there are trickles and there are stagnant places.  Sometimes a river is muddy, and sometimes it is clear. All of these qualities can also be used to describe our lives. 

Coaching is an encouragement to explore the story of your present life. As we do that together, we look for the places and times when you have exhibited courage, strength and wisdom and also the places when you might have done differently.   Coaching is not advice-giving, it is not psychotherapy or counselling or mentoring.  You bring the topic of conversation and the insight.  You are the expert in your own life.  I, as your coach, am an observer, an encourager, and a truth-teller.   

Contact me to schedule your no-fee discovery session.  Let’s talk and see if coaching with me is right for this time.  If we decide to proceed, each coaching session is $100, typically scheduled monthly.  All meetings take place on Zoom or, if necessary, by phone.

I wish you a journey of great beauty on your own Beloved River.
