Meet Clarissa Lerchenfeld-Keller of Heart-Centered Life Coaching in Sherman Oaks

Today we’d like to introduce you to Clarissa Lerchenfeld-Keller.

Clarissa, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Originally, I am from Germany where I have worked in the film industry and later in real estate development as a partner in my own business. Although I was very successful in both fields, I felt that my heart was not in either one. A challenging situation in my life led me to seek help with therapy. Through the experience of my own healing, I knew exactly what I wanted to do – helping people overcome difficulties and finding what they really want in their life. I found a job as the PR and Marketing Director at a clinic for psychotherapy in Germany, where I worked for 3 years in one of the most beautiful areas in the Alps.

Then I moved to LA where I attended USM (University of Santa Monica) to further my knowledge in this field. I received my Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology in 2009 and opened my practice right after Graduation. In 2012 I took an additional course in Spiritual Psychology with an emphasis in consciousness, health, and healing.

Today I am happy to be of service in a field that I love and I can balance my time with raising our now 12-year-old son.

Has it been a smooth road?
In the beginning, it was hard to find clients and to explain what I do. Spiritual Psychology is a soul-centered educational approach based on the assumption that we are souls having a human experience. It is the revelation of who we truly are and what we came here for.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Heart-Centered Life Coaching story. Tell us more about the business.
Heart-Centered Life Coaching has a lot to do with acceptance, forgiveness and the willingness to let go. I encourage clients to use challenges as stepping stones and to get rid of unnecessary baggage. This is especially helpful in creating loving relationships, something I focus on.

In addition to seeing clients in my beautiful office in the hills, I offer outdoor sessions, for example at the beach or in a park, as I have noticed that being in nature can contribute significantly to the healing process.

Sometimes heart-centered life coaching works so well that my clients are done with sessions quickly. This truly makes me happy and I feel rewarded anytime progress is made.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
I think there will be more life coaches that have a gentle, but very effective approach that helps clients work towards their authenticity. It will be more about supporting them to find what they truly believe in, than how they can make the most money quickly. Once they have found their calling, they will automatically be successful.
