“The compassionate mind is like an elixir, it is capable of transforming bad situations into beneficial ones. This is like a seed; when cultivated, gives rise to many other good qualities such as, forgiveness, tolerance, inner strength, and the confidence to overcome fear and insecurity.

-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Living well is about finding equilibrium and altruism in our often turbulent lives but this is not always easy. Sometimes we need help. Having someone who will deeply listen to you and help sort it all out can be transformational. Working with a compassionate minded and experienced life coach can help you get to the other side of challenging situations and celebrate the beauty and joy of this precious human life.

Drawing from much of my own life experience I can help you with life stressors such as:

• Challenging friend and family dynamics

• Maintaining a good relationship with your partner as new parents

• Romantic relationships and Intimacy

• Daily challenges of disability

• IIlness, grief and loss

• Divorce

• Anger

• Cross cultural community building

• Loneliness and isolation

“Never rail at the storms, the furious winds, the biting frosts and snow. Bright days and dark days are both expressions of the great mystery.”

-Chief Luther Standing Bear

TESTIMONIALS

“Mia Boccella brought her intuitive spirit, her gift of listening, her` willingness to trust and her big heart to Playa Troncones, Mexico, and our Women in the Round retreat as a co-collaborator. She helped create experiences in which we could be more awake, listen more closely, be uncomfortable in moments, share our vulnerabilities and step more fully into our power and ourselves. If you want to hire a certified life coach, a creative consultant or a co-collaborator, then I highly recommend Mia!”

-Linda Meacci, Linda Meacci Yoga

“Mia is a kind and compassionate person. When I was in a crisis over an interaction involving a professional relationship, she used her coaching skills to help me move through the crisis and get to the other side. If you are struggling with a relationship problem, Mia can really help you. She listens, asks questions and does not push you or tell you what to do but guides you to your own answers.”

-Suzanne A

ABOUT

I am a certified life coach, filmmaker and blind equestrian. I bring these disciplines together in my coaching to offer insight, accountability and support to my clients. Coaching is an ongoing collaborative partnership between a coach and client built on taking action toward your goals. It honors the client as creative and resourceful, and the ultimate expert in their own life.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD

Navigating my everyday life with low vision can be maddening and very frustrating. It is hard to keep moving forward when I don’t know what is in front of me. Riding horses has been life-changing and gives me the freedom and independence that I crave. Horses are mirrors that reflect our emotions and energy, and through partnership with them I have learned how to keep moving forward with communication, balance, trust and courage. I utilize many of these horse teachings in my life coaching practice.

EXPERIENCE

I received my Life Coach certification from Coach Training Alliance, a BFA cum laude from Carnegie Mellon University and studied Italian language at E.N.A.I.P. BOLOGNA in Bologna, Italy. I am a member of the ReelAbilities Commitee, the Blind Equestrian Community, Documentary Filmmakers with Disabilities and the Italian American Advisory Council at the Heinz History Center. I previously volunteered with the Native American Democratic Caucus of New Mexico, the Pittsburgh Public Schools to teach a documentary film class “Movies with a Message” and served on the board of the New Mexico Women’s Foundation.
