Life Planning in NYC

What if you could create a strategic business plan…for your life? Discover your core life purpose and create a custom plan for your life through our 6-month purpose discovery program at Healthy Minds NYC.

What is Life Planning?

Life planning is a 6-month guided process designed to help you discover your purpose and create a personalized plan for your life. We will help you identify your talents, clarify your heart, and leverage your influence to take directed action in life.

Talents

You possess a unique set of gifts and abilities that can distinguish you in every area of your life. Our life planner can help you put language to your skills to help you maximize your zone of genius.

Heart

Your passions have the potential to provide direction and satisfaction in your life when you have a solid understanding of what matters to you. Life planning gives you insight into what makes you feel alive.

Influence

You are uniquely positioned with access to certain resources and connections that enable you to make a powerful impact in the world. Life planning helps you unpack the power of both your limits and assets to get momentum.

What’s Included with a Life Planning Intensive?

Life Planning is the opportunity to invest in the person you are becoming. This process provides you with the clarity you’re seeking as well as the confidence to actually make the kind of significant life changes that can send you in a fulfilling new direction for your life. 

Life planning at Healthy Minds NYC is a 6-month program that kicks off with guided self-reflection to prepare, a deep dive one-on-one retreat with your coach, and follow-up sprint coaching sessions to help you implement new life rhythms and strategies.

GUIDED SELF-REFLECTION

ONGOING SUPPORT

Get access to select personality assessments and a low-stress self-reflection workbook to gain tremendous insight into your life goals and what makes you unique. Before you ever meet with your coach, you’ll learn more about your individual wiring and put language to your current life stressors.

A 1:1 GUIDED RETREAT EXPERIENCE

With the option to meet virtually or in person at our midtown Manhattan office, you’ll connect with the Healthy Minds NYC life planner in a one-on-one coaching intensive. Through structured exercises, you’ll be guided through a powerful process that will give you a new perspective on who you are, where you’re headed in life, and how you’ll get where you want to go.

You can sit back and relax during your retreat while we collect your critical discoveries. Following the experience, you’ll get a custom blueprint for how you want to live now and two strategically scheduled coaching sessions with your planner to ensure you implement your new lease on life.

What Clients Say about Life Planning with Chanel Dokun

“Working with Chanel was an unforgettably impactful experience. I gained a huge amount of clarity into how my personal narrative was both propelling me forward and simultaneously holding me back - and perhaps most importantly, what concrete steps I could take to continue to nurture my own personal evolution.”

— Physician, 31

“It felt so good to get into words and on paper what my life purpose really is. Even though I hope to see it flourish in the area of career, living my life purpose isn't dependent on me arriving at a certain dream job first. This was really liberating for me and allowed me to see the opportunities all around me.”

— Journalist & Non-Profit Visionary, 30

Chanel gave me clarity and actual words to voice my heart and dreams to others. Unlike how I felt before - mute and not having a way to tell others what was happening inside of me. I felt finally seen and given a place of belonging. I felt released to go after what I wanted because I could finally tell the people in charge what that was.”

— Ministry Leader, 35
