Well Folks, it’s been a while…

I have been navigating life’s winding roads and busy wandering off the beaten track to nurture and grow some new offerings for you. Like with all things, these started as just the seeds of ideas, during the deep winter moths when I was travelling within, resting more, and shoring up energy for the hot summer months ahead.

After much thought, and many walks in the woods, I have come up with a new coaching concept that I am excited to share with you all.

​

• Walk and Talk Coaching

One of the things I love the most, and in fact, when I feel truest to myself, is when I find time to be out in nature, surrounded by green space, and unrestrained by four walls.

There is something about feeling your feet on the earth, observing the organic patterns of the ferns, and the leaves and the tree canopy above, and tuning in to the sounds of the birdsong and the animal life, that reconnects you to yourself to the natural navigator in you, the part that feels the right way for you to go on your path.

Walk and Talk Coaching combines my love of Nature, the benefits of moving your body and the wisdom of the coaching modality all in one immersive experience. My clients have found that away from the structure, or the container if you will, of the typical therapy space, they are able to think in different ways, throw off the casts that they have perhaps been limited by, and process things in a less cerebral, and more somatic way.

If you are someone, who has naturally shied away from traditional coaching but has always been curious about what it could offer you, in terms of growth, and emotional development and reaching your full potential; Walk and Talk coaching could be the perfect place to start.

What can you expect? 

I believe that the natural aesthetics of the nature around us during the Walk & Talk sessions enhance the quality of the work that takes place.

I guide you to see elements of the landscape as metaphors for the challenges you may be facing, or the changes you yearn to make.

What does this look like in reality? 

I want my sessions to feel like a natural collaboration, I will help to guide you to connect with your felt senses, by giving helpful prompts, and gentle somatic exercises to allow you to get the thinking mind out of the way, so that you can hear what the body is really telling you via the medium of your emotions, your intuition. your gut feeling.

One thing that came up during a walk recently, was cognition of the prevalence of both dark and light in the forest around us, we noticed that there are shadow areas that can often be ignored and disregarded as less than, however, it is in these dark, moist, fertile places that all the germination takes place.

Just as the plants cannot grow into the light without this period of fertilisation underground, we too often need to acknowledge and look at our shadow natures to unearth the really big ideas, the most resonant parts of ourselves, and ultimately to allow us to birth our most meaningful creations.

I offer packages to suit individual needs, or just like my physio sessions you can “pay as you go”. The investment for a typical session would be 150 euros for 90 mins. These can take place in either Herbert Park in Ballsbridge or the newly opened Fernhill in Sandyford, which features a beautiful arboretum and views over Dublin Bay.

If you are not based in Dublin, then meeting up halfway might be possible.

Send your enquiry to me at jd@joseph-devlin.com and we can start a conversation, chatting over the phone first to discover if my coaching service is a fit for you.
