About Coaching

The concept of  Life Coaching as a brief therapy is relatively new, and it is based on some principles of psychology, neurolinguistics, strategy, Ericksonian therapy and others.

Coaching has gained worldwide recognition for its efficiency in generating rapid positive changes that lead to success. Its constructive approach allows people to overcome obstacles that seemed insurmountable.

Strategic Intervention is a system that was developed over decades of successful results with clients.

Coaching helps clients expand their possibilities by developing their own resources and contributing to their environment, which ultimately leads to a happier and more fulfilled life.

Life & Health Coaching Options

Life Coaching

There's Always a Way to make things better

We all have moments of difficulty, and many times we struggle alone to solve them.

A fresh point of view

My role as a life coach is to help you to better identify your challenges and bring out your strength so you can deal with your life your way, but using your full potential, and from a resourceful inner state.

Focusing on your talents

Yet, people don’t just need coaching when they have problems. One of the great advantages of Life Coaching is based on identifying internal resources that are not being properly utilized.

Make your thoughts work for you

Life Coaching can help you to have a better relationship, first with yourself, by analyzing and, if necessary, shifting your internal dialogue to a state of confidence and power. From there you can build trust with others and improve any area in your life.

Who can benefit

Life coaching is suitable for all kinds of problems, whether individually or for couples, families, groups and companies.

Health Coaching

Prevention and care make all the difference

My Health Coach program aims to make a general analysis of your state of health. 

Protect your health

If you are well and want to know how to keep yourself healthy, this is the best time to start.

If you already have a health condition, it will be analyzed holistically and in detail. Consequently, you become aware of what options you have to get back on track to health and wellness.

Trust your inner energy

Our inner energy is intelligent and always tries to bring our body to a state of balance. All we need to do, is to help it.

Nutrition, the magic key to health

I also focus in nutrition, to provide our trillions of cells the best nutrients. This doesn’t mean to stop eating everything we like, but finding a balance, and usually just adding what is missing.

The great importance of a homeopathic first-aid kit

I provide my clients with a very useful list of homeopathic remedies for first aid. They can prevent many conditions and are wonderful in emergencies.

Treatment Specialties

Lou Couto Life Coach

Hormonal imbalances are one of my specialties. While I do not prescribe hormones, I have been studying them for the last twenty years. I also use bioidentical estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone myself.

Based on my personal experience and my work with patients through homeopathy, I can create a natural plan to help improve your hormone balance.

Additionally, I can refer you to a specialist for hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones, which typically have no side effects.

I will help you understand how hormone replacement works, how it should be properly administered, and what lifestyle choices can support balanced hormones.

Live Better After Menopause

Menopause can be an overwhelming stage of life for many women. It often brings a range of uncomfortable symptoms, such as weight gain, depression, mood swings, urinary incontinence, night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and decreased libido. Fortunately, there are natural solutions available that can help you maintain vibrancy and energy during this time. The good news is that natural solutions are available for those who want to stay vibrant and energetic.

For example, the decline in estrogen levels can weaken bones, leading to osteoporosis. Walking every day is one effective way to support your body during this phase. Each time your heels strike the ground, it stimulates bone renewal. Additionally, dancing and engaging in exercises that involve the entire body are essential for building muscle mass. Strengthening back muscles can help protect your spine, prevent back pain and improve your posture. Dancing, weight exercises and moving the whole body are essential for building muscle mass.

Prevention is always the best approach. It's essential to do everything you can to enhance your hormone production, which may include Bioidentical hormone therapy if appropriate for you. To learn more, click the link below:

Other Hormone Imbalances

There are many hormonal imbalances, some of them totally misunderstood.

Hysterectomy
There are many studies around the world stating that 90% of all hysterectomy procedures are unnecessary. The consequences of undergoing a hysterectomy can be devastating, as there are risks involved, including potential damage to the cervix, bladder and intestines. Additionally, after the hysterectomy surgery, women enter menopause regardless of their age. Look for a second and third opinion, and remember that surgeons usually only suggest surgery. Try also someone who works with natural medicine.

Post Partum Depression
Another condition, "postpartum depression" that is usually treated with drugs, could, most of the time, be easily fixed with bioidentical Progesterone.

Migraines
Women who suffer from constant migraines need to look for hormonal causes, which is most often caused by synthetic hormones present in contraceptive pills and intrauterine devices, leading to serious diseases.

Any kind of hormonal replacement, even bioidentical, must always be done based on symptoms and blood work, and under medical supervision. Find out more by clicking the link below:

Men in Andropause

For men, hormonal changes are not as sudden as for women, but they do happen. With low testosterone, men lose muscle mass, libido, and assertiveness. Their hearts become weak.
When that happens, they go to the doctor and are prescribed drugs for the heart, which have side effects. 

It is a shame because, in many cases, a simple improvement in testosterone would be enough to make them well.
Fortunately, low hormone levels can be treated to ensure a healthier life, especially if combined with good nutrition and an active lifestyle.

My Coaching amazing Support Techniques, and how they can help you

Homeopathic Medicine

You will be delighted when you experience how much homeopathy can help in the Coaching process. Homeopathic remedies can give you more clarity, strength and encouragement to achieve your goals.

Using Homeopathic remedies, if necessary, is optional, so It’s your decision to benefit from this tool that I offer in my program.

Systemic Constellation

Systemic or family constellation is a way to clearly see your place in the family dynamics, and recognize entanglements and conscious or unconscious agreements that may be blocking your life.

Family Constellation is optional in coaching sessions, but it is a fascinating and very useful technique that is  worth evaluating.

Reiki

Reiki, or the art of transmitting energy through specific symbols and hands imposition is not only a way of self healing and healing others, but also a path of self-discovery and spiritual evolution.

I offer initiation on levels I, II and III,  and private Reiki sessions, and the latter can be part of your Coaching Program.

Meditation

Meditation is the most effective practice that we have to activate dormant parts of the brain. It improves health, well being and awareness.

Its main purpose is enlightenment, but it has many practical advantages such as balancing hormones and blood pressure and keeping you centered, calm and alert.
