If you are FINALLY ready to discover your life purpose, stop self-sabotage, express your authentic self and create the life you were meant to live with an award-winning coach, teacher, conscious creator and bestselling spirituality author, call 0845 880 2528 and ask for a free consultation.

Hello, and welcome to Create-a-Life!

My name is Lynn Serafinn, and I help people overcome their limiting beliefs, establish connection to their Higher Self, discover their life purpose, and become the heroes of their own lives.

I am an award-winning certified coach, teacher/workshop leader, Co-active Leader, talk radio show host, as well as an Amazon bestselling author of the book The Garden of the Soul: lessons from four flowers that unearth the Self (self-help, mind-body-spirit and spirituality). I am also Founder/Leader of the holistic community project "The Global Wellness Circle" and a member of Transition Bedford, which is part of the greater Transition Town Network throughout the world.

What makes my work unique is my "Transformation Trilogy" for personal growth that can help you tap into your whole Self, offering you a practical system for specific needs, depending upon where YOU are on your hero's journey in life. I can work with you either 1-to-1 or within a group, to help you reach either personal aims or wider-reaching aims for social transformation (read more about this system below).

Who do I help and how do I help them?
I specialise in working with people who are ready break out of the unfulfilling grind of the status quo, and DARE to express their life's calling by unleashing their inner voice, especially in holistic (mind-body-spirit), social reform (Transition Town) or creative enterprises.

But although these are my specialties, I am happy to work with ANYONE who is genuinely seeking to find, and actively CREATE, meaning and purpose in life, and to establish a deeper connection to their personal spirituality and Authentic Self. For me, the only criterion is that you are really ready for transformative change, from the inside out.

Lynn has a gift for getting straight to the heart of your problem and is then tenacious enough to make you stick with it, while letting you work out the answers for yourself. She is direct, kind and one of the most spiritual people I have met.

    What is the "Create-a-Life Transformation Trilogy"?

    It is a unique 3-stage approach to personal growth. Using the metaphor of a "Garden" to represent the Self, here are the three stages of transformation:

    1. Transformation Stage 1 - "Weeding": Before we begin the journey of transformation, we examine where we currently are in life. We start by identifying where we are currently "stuck", and what our default patterns of thinking and behaving are. We dig deeper ("weeding") to find the subtle underlying beliefs that are creating these stuck places, and then use a variety of strategies to "clear the ground" of your old, out-dated beliefs. I teach you a clear 5-step model and practical tools to overcome self-sabotage, gain confidence and find personal empowerment. Transition and other social reform groups, we also look at ways to recognise the limiting beliefs of others, and to meet them where they are, to make you more effective in communication and in the process of conflict resolution and positive social change. Once you have learned these tools, you will have a clear ground upon which you can begin to "plant" and grow the next stage of your personal life, or social transformation.

    2. Transformation Stage 2 - "Seeding": Once you have cleared the ground of your "monsters" and achieved skill and mastery over your limiting beliefs and old patterns of behaviour, we can move on to planting the seeds for your new life. At this point, we explore the 10 principles of "The Path of Least Resistance to the Self" where you will define, discover and explore your life purpose and learn how to unlock your inner hero, giving you direction and a sense of meaning that keeps you motivated. You will learn to recognise the ways you may be resisting your own magnificence, and find out how to step into personal greatness that you might never have considered in the past. For Transition and other social reform groups, we examine how your individual purpose expands into the greater historic purpose at a global level, and how you step into this with aliveness, resilience and gratitude.

    3. Transformation Stage 3 - "Feeding": Once you are armed with your life purpose, you will need tools to help you maintain and regain your equilibrium and flow when life sends you the inevitable challenges we all encounter. At this point, I introduce you to the four principles of "The Garden of the Soul", where you learn how to recognise when and where you are out of balance in life, how to establish a deeper awareness of the mind-body-spirit connection, and develop strategies for recovering to your true Self if and when you sometimes find yourself knocked off course.

    What is beautiful about the system is that, once you master it, you can simply tap into what you need at any given time, using what is most appropriate for a given circumstance in your life. Self is Infinite, and Self awareness is an unlimited process (which is what makes it so beautiful and exciting). There is no such thing as being "finished" with awareness, and you will find yourself using the Create-a-Life tools in more and more creative ways for the rest of your life.

     

    How do I find out about becoming a coaching client?
    The very first thing to do is to fill in a coaching consultation request form by clicking HERE. The consultation is absolutely free, and there is no obligation to sign up to anything. The consultation is conducted over the telephone and lasts about 30 minutes. During that time, we will get to know each other, talk about what you are looking for, and do a little bit of coaching together.

    At the end of the call, you can decide if 1-to-1 coaching is right for you at this time, or we can explore other options, such as my Garden of the Soul Coaching Community, telecourses or workshops.

     

    What is The "Garden of the Soul Coaching Community"?
    It's a truly innovative, intimate and economical group coaching programme designed so that everyone works closely together to cultivate specific, mutually shared goals. Your unique group will be put together based upon your common aims and desires, so you can support each other through your process of transformation and personal growth.

    The programme is based upon the Four Principles introduced first in my book The Garden of the Soul: lessons from four flowers that unearth the Self. It is NOT essential that you have read the book to benefit from the Coaching Club Programme. To find out more about the Coaching Community, and how it can provide you with a quality group coaching experience at an affordable price, click HERE.

This is a 2-day live workshop that can help you gain insight to into your greater life purpose and learn how to tap into your inner hero, discover where you are on your journey, and understand your impact, giving you direction and a sense of purpose that keeps you motivated.

    3. "The Garden of the Soul."

    What is Personal Transformation Coaching REALLY about?

    Not long ago, one of my clients reached a turning point in his coaching with me where he said “Wow! Is THAT what personal transformation coaching is all about? Why don't you tell EVERYONE about this?” So, I decided that maybe he is right, and that perhaps people might benefit from knowing more about what coaching is and what it is not.

    1. Personal Transformation Coaching is NOT about “problem solving”. Many of my clients come to me because they have problems. They might be depressed, going through a tough life transition, lacking in confidence, dissatisfied at work, or have problems with alcohol or other habits/addictions. Well, surely, many of my clients find these problems have been resolved as a result of our coaching together, but fixing problems doesn't necessarily bring fulfilment. In fact it might just bring us to a life that is just barely above the line of “ok”. The real purpose of Personal Transformation Coaching is go way beyond the “ok”, and empower you by increasing self-awareness so you can create a life that is rich, fulfilling, and full of purpose and meaning. My role as your coach is to help you get in touch with what you really want in life, and be with you on the journey to achieve your dreams, however big or small they might seem to you right now.

    2. Personal Transformation Coaching is NOT a “quick fix”. Actually, it does start to works really fast. Most of my clients feel a shift after the very first session (or even in the consultation). But true Personal Transformation is not about patching up temporary problems and then having you go back to living life the “same old way”. What is the point of paying to get rid of something that will only return again later? That is why I ask my clients to commit to a minimum of 12 weeks with me (many choose to work with me for much longer than that), so we can build structures that can help them make permanent, impactful changes in their lives. It is about becoming independent, empowered and living a “life on purpose”.

    3. Personal Transformation Coaching is NOT about making “to do lists” and ticking them off. Some people have the impression that coaches are there to give you all kinds of assignments, and to make you feel guilty if you haven't done them. I don't need to do that for you. You are probably already doing that yourself! Actions have no meaning unless they are driven by your own core values and a sense of inner purpose. That is where Personal Transformation Coaching comes in. When we work together, we work towards your own self-discovery, so you kind find and connect to your true purpose in life. From that naturally comes your own personal commitment to action. While I will hold you accountable for what you say you wish to be or achieve, I do not tell you what that should be. What is meaningful, is meaningful to you and you alone. As your coach, it is my role to provide you a non-judgemental mirror, to reflect back what I see, so you may see yourself more clearly, honestly and powerfully.

    4. Genuine Personal Transformation IS is about developing true Self-Awareness. True personal transformation is the result of building an active communication system within yourself that is an integration of body, mind AND heart. Each of these conduits to awareness speaks to you differently. People nowadays tend not to hear all of them equally and objectively. When I work with clients, I help them learn how to tap into the messages that come to them via the body, mind and heart, and how to get these three vital energies to work together in a positive, constructive way, so that their lives are balanced and "in flow". I call my approach to coaching, and to life in general, “the path of least resistance to the Self”.

    That may sound a bit lofty, but it is actually extremely practical and down-to-earth. You don't have to be a “spiritual” or intellectual person to understand this, as it is actually simply about building awareness. When I work with clients, I show them how to recognise the information the world is giving them at every moment so they can see the opportunities that are there for them, and find out how easy it actually is to be happy all the time. When your body, mind and heart are working together as a cohesive unit, you have really mastered the art of Self-awareness, and you are not prone to the emotional ups and downs that may have plagued you in the past. That, in a nutshell, is Personal Transformation coaching.

    Think of what you can do with your life when you are in this state of mind, and you see things more clearly than you had ever imagined before. You could start a new business, transform your relationships, begin a new creative project, or simply become happy within the same life you have led for years. It is all up to you.

    And here's the last thing I would like you to know: the essence and the power of Personal Transformation coaching is that all human beings--and that means you--are naturally creative, resourceful and whole. And as your coach, it is quite probable that I believe you to be even bigger, more capable, more resourceful and more powerful than you possibly see yourself to be...at least for the moment.

    So, before we beging our work together... stop... take a deep breath... and ask yourself:

    • Are you ready to trust yourself as naturally creative, resourceful and whole, even if you have not in the past?
    • Are you ready to grow, so that you can live the life you know you are meant to live?
    • Are you ready to be fully open and honest in our work together, so you can see clearly what you truly want in your heart?
    • Are you ready to be courageous and to go past your "edge", knowing that your coach is there, believing in you every step of the way?
    If you answer "YES" or even "I really WANT to say yes"
    then
    take the first step on your journey...
