Hi, my name is Beth Freschi (pronounced "FRES-kee"). I am a relaxation and life coach based in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN). I have a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of St. Thomas and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from St. Olaf College. With over fifteen years of experience in the mental health field (psychotherapy, research, inpatient psychiatry, and volunteering as a support group leader) and over 14 years as a relaxation and life coach, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my personalized coaching work. I started A Time for Expression, LLC in 2006 to help people relax, explore possibilities, manage stress and experience more personal and professional satisfaction in their lives.
Specialty: Guided Relaxation Events and Ongoing Training for Colleges and Organizations
I guide groups through effective relaxation techniques to calm the mind and body, providing a "learning by doing" experience. Participants leave feeling relaxed and empowered to reproduce the effects on their own time. Through the shared experience of guided relaxation, my events and ongoing training help improve harmony and team building as well as stress management.
I find it very rewarding to work with people who give so much of themselves: college students, attorneys, artists, first responders, psychologists. teachers, parents, healthcare workers, and other busy people. It’s so important to recharge your energy, and I love helping people do that!
Experiential Relaxation Training
Through guided relaxation training sessions, experiential speaking engagements and guided relaxation recordings, I help people feel more balanced and at ease in their lives. My sessions and recordings feature a wide variety of relaxation techniques: breathing, muscle relaxation, guided imagery, and loving kindness meditation to help calm the mind and body.
I work with colleges and universities, corporations and other organizations, as well as individuals, to create customized relaxation training programs to help people manage stress, sleep more soundly at night, and approach their days with renewed energy and vitality. My guided relaxation recordings are in the same format as the in-person sessions, so people can practice relaxation training at home, school, or at work.
Life Coaching for Artists and Creatives
As a life coach, I work primarily with artists and creative individuals who have a strong interest in the process of life coaching. My life coaching clients appreciate my objective, enthusiastic coaching style that encourages free expression and creative thinking, helping them approach their life and work with a greater sense of direction and purpose. If you are interested in a free introductory life coaching session you can schedule a meeting.
Whether you are looking for individual coaching or group relaxation training, I am here as a resource.
