Introductions
Hi, my name is Paul Brewer. I am the founder of Everest Spirit Life Coaching and I offer mountaineering lessons from a Western Sherpa.
The Everest Spirit’s singular goal is to return you to a state of inner peace, flow and zen that you once knew as a child. The Everest Spirit’s purest interpretation and reflection is the development and realization of deep love of self and love of others, it is manifesting an inner and outer attitude of non-judgement, empathy and compassion. In order to summit the physical Mt. Everest one must truly know one’s self and the depth of one’s personal power. Marianne Williamson wrote in A Return to Love: “it is not our darkness we are most afraid of, it is our light.” At The Everest Spirit, we explore the darkness of shadow work to reveal your light in order to summit your inner Mt. Everest and make your dreams and goals a reality.
My personal goal and intention is to create strong rapport, trust and foster the manifestation of a safe, secure space in the comfort of my healing studio, Everest Spirit Base Camp. During which time I will become your empathetic witness, mirroring your thoughts and emotions back to you in a kind, loving, compassionate way. Together, we will form a dynamic team to maximize your innate, intuitive ability to know when to push for the next camp, to acclimatize or push hard to summit your inner Everest. I will teach you the tools and techniques needed to weather a bad storm, assimilate your dark night of the soul and how to navigate soul threatening crevices and technical phases of the journey. These tools and techniques will forever be at your disposal to wield when faced with future challenges and trials along your hero/heroine’s journey of self-realization and awakening.
The Everest Spirit works with both women and men. The healing focus is on 4 domains: mental, spiritual, emotional and social health; providing a holistic, intuitive approach to personal wellness and personal power.

The biggest challenge for anyone new to asking for help is in fact, asking for help.
Being guided by a professional Life Coach can be best described as a truly transformational journey.
Everest Spirit Life Coaching offers an intuitive holistic approach to assisting clients gain valuable personal insights relating to mental, spiritual, social and emotional well being. The Everest Spirit specializes in mental, spiritual and emotional health coaching while also focusing on the social domain as all four are interconnected and intertwined,
Intuitive Holistic Life Coaching focusing on mental, spiritual and emotional health helps clients envision life without hopelessness, feeling lost or without direction, a lack of connection with self, frustration, depression, anxiety or other health obstacles to well-being.
Mental health coaching is a niche pathway within the coaching field which touches on nuances of the therapeutic relationship. As a Life Coach in this niche I intentionally choose not to pathologize mental/spiritual/emotional or social health challenges in terms of illness or the manifestation of psychological issues or problems. I view said “issues” as a personal and spiritual life challenge requiring deep insights, life goal clarification and identification, support, guidance and cognitive behavioural modification.
The spiritual domain combines teachings of Buddhism, Taoism and Zen integrated with the mental domain which is further complimented by personal insights and lessons learned during an ongoing 38 year Eastern spiritual path to awakening.
Concerted efforts within the emotional domain include developing your abilities to feel, evaluate, express and regulate your emotions thereby increasing your emotional IQ. The subsequent increases in emotional IQ positively impact your ability to sit with intense, difficult emotions leading to further realizations of inner peace, insight and holistic growth.
The natural by-product of increasing insight, health and growth within the mental, spiritual and emotional domains is a subesequent increase in the qualities of the relationships in your lives both with yourself and others.
Think about the possibilities! Your role is to fully participate in the coaching process, be open-minded, honestly consider and respond to meaningful questions, be willing to explore new options and take new steps. This process can really make a difference!
