Simplify - coaching for curious humans who wish to return to a simpler, natural way of life.
In order to get to where you are going (insert an image of your beautiful dream), it’s both useful and wise to ask yourself a few questions along the way.
Does a modern-consumerist life stress me out?
Am I running around, while life is running over me?
Do I have enough time and energy to do everything I choose to do?
Am I currently happy living the life I live? Or is there something else out there that is calling… maybe not so loud, or not so clear, more like a whisper which reaches out, saying there is a better way…
Life is always moving forward, yet it’s the speed that makes or breaks your stride. When life accelerates faster than you can comprehend, it leaves you with a sense of dizzying overwhelm, even anxiety or dread.
The good news is, there’s a way out of this perpetual speeding up.
The answer is to slow down and Simplify.
You don’t have to live up to anyone’s expectations. You don’t have to follow all of society’s “rules”. You don’t have to be all they want you to be.
All you have to do is believe in yourself as you walk down a natural path, trusting in your ability to live life on your own terms.
It’s simple, yet complicated.
For the more you simplify, the greater-heftier-loftier the challenges can become.
We’ve been in your shoes – until we learned to walk bare foot on the ground. We know all about the resistance from family and friends, we know firsthand about the doubts that arise as you fall deeper into a simple, unconventional life.
We know that it takes time, money and essential (survival) skills to live a simple life free from the constraints of consumerism. You know all this too, yet in the quest of simplifying your life, it can be difficult to know where to start… in which room, with which beliefs to change, what mistakes to avoid, etc.
That’s where we come in – as Simplify life coaches.
As a married couple, then a family, we’ve lived a very simple life for more than 20 years together. Through our own life experiences, we can gently guide you in getting closer and closer to the calm and simple life you deserve. That’s right, you deserve to live a slower, meaningful life close to nature with more time for yourself and those whom you love – even if modern life would suggest otherwise.
If what you are seeking in life is a simple life, yet are unsure where to start, begin by booking your first Simplify session today!
How Simplify coaching works: 1 hour = 1 session.
In the first hour of one-on-one coaching (that is, the three of us talking to one, two or a family of you) we’ll do a Simple Living Audit to see where you are at in your journey of living a simple life, either as an individual, or as a family.
In the second session we’ll begin to tackle those most difficult obstacles that stand in your way of simplifying your life.
In the third and subsequent hours we’ll help you refine what living a simple life means to you, keeping you on track to manage your simple living goals.
What areas of life does Simplify coaching cover?
We are a family of self-reliant homesteaders who enjoy our freedom in every sense of life, even in quiet rebellion.
In guiding you towards a simple & natural life we will work first on the topics you would like to cover.
Here are some simple living topics we may propose for starters:
learning to homestead
growing a garden
changing your diet - including foraging and raising animals
maintaining a chemical-free household (from eliminating cosmetics, soaps and shampoos, all the way to switching out toxic household cleaners)
how to rewild your yard and garden - as well as yourself
reducing your energy consumption
becoming a creator rather than a consumer
decluttering to create space for a life you love
and of course, talking about overcoming the resistance to living a life outside of what everybody else seems to want.
See, that’s already several hours worth of conversation waiting to be discovered.

Before we get the simple living coaching conversations started, we’ll agree on dates for coaching sessions via email. An invoice for the number of sessions you desire will be sent before our first online meeting.
