Alora Dana Cheek is a personal growth pioneer who brings stability into what can be a chaotic part of life: relationship with self, family, and teams.
She excels at working with top-level folks who are navigating large decisions every day for the people who work - and live - with them. When she is not working with clients, she coaches improv and spends time with her three kids, husband, and family dog. |
So many coaching programs or therapy programs provide temporary relief and but they don't fix the underlying problems. Other programs aim at the underlying problem but the person's life - or business - falls apart while they are trying to dig out the root. I wanted something different: real change that kept a person's life going. No drama, only solutions. Decades of Research I remember being a child wondering why things with people were difficult and how to improve that. This personal growth quest started with a B.A. in Education and a Masters in Theatre. Then a career helping teams and key relationships in Start-Ups. And then training with 13th Generation Quero Apache holy one, Maria Yraceburu, to understand cyclical living and generational patterns. This was key. My focus on this topic was insatiable. I tried out everything from talk therapy to attachment theory. Time management tips to traditional disciple models. "Go with the flow" to "craft your vision in detail". Things worked for a while, and some things changed, but nothing cracked below the real surface. Until one day, in a "light bulb" moment, it all came together into the systems work I do today with my clients - and in my own life. Once I began teaching this work my clients achieved results faster. Not only that, the results were easier to reach and the changes were permanent. Want to know more? Let's answer one of the more common questions I get: what is the shamanic part? The Shamanic Component Some of my clients come to me through my shamanic contacts. Some of my clients come to me through my start-up business contacts. Shamanic aspects include bringing ancient wisdom and whole-body-mind-spirit techniques and healing into modern day help. Energy work. Training about your intuition. The list is long. If you want coaching without the shamanic element, that is an option. You will still receive my expert level intuitive guidance. This is how I help clients make the deepest of changes with observable results without disrupting their lives. The steps each client is encouraged to take and when to take them are clear. The Management Consulting Component Yes, I have a successful track record of being Key Business Relationship Manager, Lead Project Manager, and acting Chief of Staff in various start-up companies. If you run a business and you ask me about your team functions, your time management, your work processes, or anything else you might speak to a team facilitator or a management coach about you'll get my help there too, but those types of discussions are not required for the life / relationship shift work. This Work Is This work is about recognizing core patterns and taking incremental steps to change them. I teach clients to understand the landscape (what are you looking for and why), observe the landscape (and know when to comment on it or not), and implement new choices and reactions. My Clients My clients range from men and women in a deep intuitive awakening or shift to business leaders and owners who are needing to level up their leadership and improve their teams to parents and spouses who are dealing with strife or hard relationships at home. To see if this type of coaching - and coaching with me - is a fit for you and your needs, contact me to discuss. If this work is not the next step for you, I may be able to refer you to someone else. I'm happy to help. Alora Dana Cheek |
