Mary Gorman
LIFE & CAREER COACH
Living with intention is about embracing your life as an active participant rather than a bystander. It's deciding that each moment is an opportunity to align your actions with your deepest values and aspirations. Instead of letting life happen to you, you shape it deliberately, infusing purpose into everything you do.
Are there moments where you feel like life is happening to you rather than being shaped by you?
What if you could make a small shift today to shape and align your actions more closely with your values?
I provide a personalized coaching experience designed just for you. I work with clients who are committed to personal growth, expanding their self-awareness, and showing up powerfully in their lives.
Together, we’ll create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your goals and challenges openly. Through tailored strategies, thought-provoking conversations, and actionable insights, I’ll guide you in uncovering your strengths, embracing your values, and making intentional choices that align with your aspirations and bring direction to your life.
Gardening is a passion of mine that goes beyond my own backyard and into my community. I tend a shared plot alongside more than 45 fellow gardening enthusiasts, finding joy and fulfillment in nurturing both plants and the bonds between people. This cherished hobby brings growth and connection into my life in countless meaningful ways.
Imagine your life as a garden, with intention, you carefully select the seeds you plant, nurture them with care, and cultivate a garden that flourishes, bringing joy and fulfillment. But without purpose, seeds may fall haphazardly, weeds can take over, and the garden grows wild and unbalanced. Life works the same way—when guided with thoughtfulness and care, it thrives; when left unchecked, it can become overwhelming. Coaching helps you plant purposefully, nurture growth, and create a life that blossoms.

What Is Coaching?
Coaching is a partnership between you and me. It is a process to help you identify your goals, develop a plan, and take action to achieve them. The process typically involves a series of one-on-one sessions to inspire and motivate you to maximize your personal and professional potential.
Companion planting in gardening offers a powerful metaphor for life coaching. Picture a garden where each plant is not just surviving, but thriving, thanks to the thoughtful arrangement around it. Certain plants, when paired together, boost each other's growth, defend against pests, and enrich the soil. It's about creating a balanced environment where each part supports the overall health of the whole.
Similarly, life coaching is about fostering the right conditions for personal growth. Just as a gardener carefully selects companion plants to cultivate a thriving garden, a life coach helps you identify the relationships, habits, and environments that nurture your development. They guide you in removing negative influences and planting seeds of positivity and productivity.
In my professional career, I was fortunate enough to have mentors who have guided and nurtured my growth and inspired me to want to do the same for others.
