Parent & Life Coaching
What is a life coach?
We understand that parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, especially when caring for children with special needs. That's why we offer life coaching services by seasoned life coach Zahra Suratwala M.A. to help provide our Color Along parents emotional support and guidance to navigate the complexities of balancing a busy life.
Life coaching is a collaborative process that empowers individuals to get new perspectives on the way they make decisions, their relationships with others, and dealing with stressors in their lives. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing past wounds, life coaching is forward focused, providing actionable steps to achieve the goals a client wants to master. Life coaching helps to identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and create lasting change so people can live more content and fulfilling lives.
