Do you want to live an artful, heart-full life?

Hi. I'm Lynn Baskfield. The photo to the right shows me with my horse, The Baroness. (To learn more about coaching with horses, click here.) I've been coaching in Minnesota and Wisconsin for several years now with individual clients under the name SpiritDance.

It is a joy to partner with you in the adventure of creating a life you love, to encourage your full self-expression, and to honor your unique path of transformation.

As a certified professional life and business coach, I work with people who want to make a living--and have a life--doing what they love. I also work with people in transition: people who are taking a new look at life due to changes like job loss, moving, loss of a spouse through death or divorce, retirement, leaving corporate, opening a business, etc.  

As your coach, I hold a sacred circle around your life so that you can attend to what holds meaning for you. I encourage you to take pause and deepen the dance of spirit through storytelling, writing, creative expression, nature and horses.* With these tools, I accompany you through rites of passage, formal and informal, as you become ready to transition to another level of your life. My role is to listen carefully, ask powerful questions, and provide accountability. Your role is to deepen your learning, clarify your vision, and move forward with it.

We start with a two-hour discovery process and set up weekly face-to-face or phone appointments thereafter. I encourage all my local clients to do some of their coaching with the guidance of horses. Because coaching can take place on the phone or in person, you don't have to live in the same city your coach does. (Some of my out-of-state clients come in once in a while, too. Coaching with the horses is just too good to miss!)

Coaching related activities include being a member of the International Coach Federation and the Minnesota Coaches Association. I hold a masters degree in Human Development with an emphasis on coaching from St. Mary's University.

I have a special fondness for the words of the poet Rumi who says, "Let the beauty we love be what we do." In addition to my passion for coaching, I am an author, storyteller, and transformational educator and trainer, which means I get to do all the things that I love and share them with you.

Do you love your life right now? Is it good but not great? Is it great but you know there is something more? Fill out the Life Satisfaction Checklist and see where life coaching could make a difference for you. Call for a complimentary half-hour sample session.

* Even if you don't think of yourself as creative, I find that almost everyone harbors a secret wellspring within that wants to express itself creatively, but perhaps forgot how. As for the horses, all sessions are done on the ground. You need no horse experience to benefit from the wisdom of the horses.
