About Me

Hi there!
This very moment is the perfect time to set your intentions and allow the inspiring energy of fulfillment guide you towards taking meaningful action in your life. Many of us usually focus on the "doing" of life and on the results or destination and rarely do we allow ourselves to even enjoy the ride - the "beingness" and the process. I often see life as a road trip. And, this trip is such an amazing journey filled with smooth paths, wondrous views, bumps, dips, ditches, detours, french fries, soft serves and blizzards, audiobooks, good tunes, traffic, and other delightful and unexpected treats and surprises. And, I love it all. If you really notice and get curious, the ride can be just as or even more rewarding and fulfilling than the destination itself. What I invite you to look at is - What would make this road trip more fun and exciting?
I'm Pete and I am a Certified Clairvoyant and Co-Active Coach, specializing in metaphysical life and creativity coaching. I enjoy working with individuals, like yourself, to inspire and empower you to take charge of your life, to realize your dreams, to collaboratively and creatively clear and transform self-limiting beliefs and patterns. We'll work together to go deep beneath the surface to discover what truly inspires and fulfills you. I love working with creative and spiritual and metaphysically open individuals, including writers, actors, performers, artists, chefs, healers, energy workers and beyond who want to find, re-discover or invigorate their creative voice; as well as those who are passionate in taking a bold step in creating a life that truly honors themselves - a life of deliberate intention and a life that they love to live.
A co-active coaching relationship is designed by you and me. Together, we'll create a powerful alliance where we'll explore what it means to live the life of your dreams, realized. We'll explore different perspectives. We'll go right into the experience of what's hard to be with, so you can find gifts that will inspire you. The process is definitely an adventure. I will challenge you and your comfort zones, no doubt. And, I know you can do it, especially if you really want to move forward. Plus, I will hold you accountable. I'm not doing your work for you. I promise to hold a most safe and courageous space for you to play, explore and work out. You will gain strength, confidence, insight, and lots more. We'll focus on what's possible, rather than what's wrong. If you're getting a little nervous and excited reading this, good. Fulfillment can be a scary thing. In fact, I believe that fulfillment is quite a radical act. We all grew up being told what's right, wrong and what we "should" do when we grow up. So of course, to actually live the life of your dreams is definitely radical and challenging to most of modern society. No kidding.
As we work together, I will root for you. I will stand for you. I will acknowledge and champion you. And, I will challenge you in the most supportive and empowering way, for the sake of your greatest vision, your life purpose, and your fulfillment.
By the way, I'm also an energy healer, interdisciplinary performance artist, writer, foodie, and musician (check out my band at www.myspace.com/madamngrislee - the song on this page is on our upcoming album).
Moreover, I also facilitate The Work of Byron Katie - an amazingly simple and powerful process that helps you gain insight, understanding and freedom from your own (stressful) thoughts. For more information on her work, check out www.thework.com
If you haven't yet seen THE SECRET, I highly recommend it. (www.thesecret.tv) For those of you who have seen it and have been deeply moved and inspired by this film, and would like to begin, discover and/or enhance your creative process, I also integrate the teachings and principles from the film with my coaching work. So in our journey together, know that I will deeply support you in creating and manifesting what you want in your life.
I currently have openings in my coaching practice. Contact me today to schedule a transformational and complimentary 30-minute telephone coaching session to begin our adventure together and to make a tremendous shift in your life. To respect your budget, checkbook and calendar, I offer flexible payment plans and schedules. Just like taking your car to a mechanic to maintain your investment that takes you everywhere you want to go, working with a life coach is about maintaining you, your goals, dreams and your life. Know that YOU are the worthy and most important investment that truly takes you everywhere you want to go.
If you are interested in a clairvoyant energy reading, I offer 30 and 45 minute telephone readings, too. Send me a message for more information and rates.
I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.
Here's to you, your fulfillment and living the life of your dreams, realized.
In the meantime, know that the force is with you, always.
Namaste.
