WhAT IS ALIVA?

There are two answers to this. 

The first (and the one you’re probably looking for) is:

a coaching business dedicated to supporting successful, motivated individuals who suspect there’s more to life than what they’ve experienced so far. 

We define that “what” as fun. So working with us means discovering your definition of “fun”, diving into where that sits relative to your primary values (which may feel a little far off at the moment), and identifying steps to get you back on track to having more of it in your life.

At Aliva, we believe that fun lives, breathes, eats and sleeps inside each of us, and one of the best things about aging - and there are MANY - is the rediscovery of the “good stuff” we’re meant to be concerning ourselves with more commonly than we do our daily drudgeries and those really big and pesky feelings of insolation, hopelessness, overwhelm, and - to use a jargony but apt coaching term - stuckness that many of us have come to accept as facts of this life.

But guess what!

We have found (yes, through research) that fun is viewed as a NECESSITY (by adults) - and yet, the majority of us are not having enough!

And it turns out this is true regardless of busy-ness/exhaustion/overwhelm. Needs are needs.

Still here? Cool.

So, what’s the second answer, you ask? Aliva (which we made up) is another - and we think better - way to say “tears of joy”.

As in:

Aliva noun /əˈlaɪv’ə/

Name for the liquid exuded by the tear ducts as a result of profound positive emotions, such as overjoy, appreciation of immense beauty. The emotional byproduct of the opposite of weltschmerz.

Antonyms: tears

(You’re welcome.)

find your fun!
