Specialties
As a Creative Life Coach, I support people to cultivate and unleash their most creative, courageous and resilient selves in the service their challenges, goals and dreams. Every day you make choices about how you will live your life and what you will invest your energy in. Most of us have so many intentions running around in our monkey minds yet we often get side-tracked, stuck, or simply don't have enough focus, time or energy to follow through on all of them.
Through coaching you will discover and set goals based on what's most important to you and then we will co-create a compassionate container to provide structure, accountability, and support to move you towards these goals with more focus, clarity, and momentum. Through a process of inquiry and discovery coaching allows you to start where you are, get out of your own way, and move powerfully forward towards designing and living your life authentically according to your core values and commitments.
History
Established in 2002.
Todd Phillips has been working in the field of coaching, mentoring, facilitation, compassionate communication, and creative expression for more than 16 years. He received his initial ontological coaching certification from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in 2002, where he has since returned and taught as an expert in his field.
He is a co-founder of Restorative Resources Santa Cruz, a non-profit organization promoting a method of community building and conflict resolution that emphasizes restoring balance and wholeness through a process of listening, connection and equally shared power.
In 2014 Todd co-founded Momentum, a year long program to unleash creative potential. Each participant picks a creative project calling then out into fuller expression, and then moves through everything in the way of achieving that vision through the power of commitment, devotion, community support, mentorship, accountability and grace.
Meet the Business Owner: Todd P.
Todd is a huge proponent of self-expression and human development through play! He has been learning, teaching, and performing improv with Um...Gee...Um since 1997, making up skits, musicals, and stories on the spot. What Todd loves about improv is that it requires us to walk boldly into the unknown and be fully present in the moment of discovery while taking risks, listening, cooperating, and letting go of survival strategies. This is fundamental to Todd's philosophy of what it takes to live an exceptional life as the magnificent beings that we already are.
Todd has dedicated his life to the Spiritual Transformation of himself and others and to providing tools for living that encourage the practical application of Universal Spiritual Principles to all of life's circumstances. In 2011 Todd graduated from a 4 year program in spiritual principles and practices through Inner Light Ministries, whose aim is healing through the energy of love.
