HeartWorks Mentoring

Please Note: HeartWorks Mentoring is currently on hiatus. Please feel free to email me with your questions and I’m happy to offer support via email. Unfortunately I’m unable to meet with you regularly, at this time. You can email me at kristy@heartworks.training

Who is HeartWorks Mentoring for?

HeartWorks Mentoring with Kristy is best suited for folks who have already done some mindfulness or self-compassion study, practice and reflection, ideally in a program with Kristy. You can see a list of Kristy’s offerings on the right side of this page. Having some foundational training and practice will help us find direction in our mentoring work.

What is it Designed to Do?

HeartWorks Mentoring is designed to support your:

  • self-compassion study, practice and reflection;
  • professional development if teaching or building a heart-centered business is part of your path.

Together we can support your ability to tap into your values and strengths and move toward that which nurtures you and supports your work in the world.

Modality

HeartWorks Mentoring is designed to support your self-compassion practice and/or teaching and/or your heart-centered business. While some of the work we do might feel similar to therapy, Get Togethers are not designed for therapy to work on old wounds. I’ll be happy to explore which kind of therapy modality might suit you best, so that you can seek a therapist in your local area to travel on that particular journey with. You can find trauma support resources on the bottom right of this page.

Online Get Togethers

We can get together online once per month. Our monthly time together will be a space to explore your thoughts, emotions and sensations about your practice and work. We’ll generally:

  • begin with a short arriving meditation, then
  • explore the material you’re interested in working on, then
  • outline next steps including resources that I’ll provide to you.

HeartWorks Mentoring Site

You’ll have access to your own personal site in the learning management system, PowerSchool Learning, that will be the home for our notes and resources, and is only accessible to you and me. Here we’ll create some structure for our work together so that we can share information in one organized place.

Email and Reflection Board

You can reach out at any time about your practice and your work via email or the Reflection Board on your Mentoring site. I will add extra resources for you to your site in response to your needs.

Finances

HeartWorks Mentoring finances revolve around our monthly Get Together. Unless we have some other arrangement I’ll send you a PayPal invoice after each Get Together.

Mentoring has a sliding scale between US$70 and US$100 for our monthly Get Together – you can choose the rate that works for you. This amount covers:

  • one online Get Together,
  • unlimited email support, and
  • the resources that I’ll post to your site.

Please email me at kristy@heartworks.training if you’d like to explore HeartWorks Mentoring. I’d love to travel a journey of self-compassion study, practice and reflection with you!

Traveling Companion Intentions

As your travel companion I will:

  • hold all that you tell me in confidence
  • sometimes take notes that are kept on my computer so that I can remember what we talked about and what I promised you
  • not judge your experience
  • be very mindful to not say or do things to shame you
  • fulfill my side of our agreements as much as I can, including invoicing and sending through materials I have promised you
  • show up on time for our get-togethers
  • be transparent about my areas of expertise
  • help you in whatever way I can in areas that are not my expertise by connecting you to resources, referring you to a professional I know and trust, etc.

 

As my travel companion, I ask that you:

  • tell me if something I do or say makes you feel shamed or in any way uncomfortable so that we can process that together
  • fulfill your side of any agreements as much as you can
  • show up on time for our get-togethers
  • let me know if you need to cancel a get-together
