What is coaching?
What is conScious breathwork?
Coaching is a collaborative process that helps individuals unlock their potential, navigate life's challenges, and create lasting transformation. At Eastern Sun Coaching, we embrace a holistic approach, integrating mind, body, and spirit to support personal growth. Through one-on-one or group sessions, coaching provides a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your values, gain clarity, and develop actionable strategies for change.
Coaching isn't about giving advice; it's about guiding you to discover your own insights, deepen your self-awareness, and empower you to make intentional choices. Whether you're facing emotional struggles, going through a major life transition, or simply want to level up, coaching offers tools and perspectives to support your journey to healing and fulfillment.
At Eastern Sun Coaching, we draw upon ancient wisdom and modern coaching practices, helping you align with your highest potential while honoring your unique life path. It’s about embracing new beginnings, fostering growth, overcoming obstacles, and finding harmony in all aspects of your life.

FAQs
How is coaching different from therapy?
While coaching and therapy involve working on personal challenges, coaching is generally more action-oriented and solutions-focused.
Who can benefit from E.S.C.’s programs?
Eastern Sun offers programs that may benefit anyone looking to make positive changes in their life. Whether navigating a life transition, recovering from hurts, habits, and hangups, or wanting to come out of programmed behavior and into intentional living, coaching can offer the support and clarity needed to lean into life.
Are these programs online or in-person?
Eastern Sun strives to make its offerings accessible to all. Most of our work is virtual, with some immersive, in-person experiences available through 1:1 coaching and our wellness retreats.
Community building is a key part of my gift to this world. If there is enough regional interest in group programming, I will make it available in person.
Is coaching confidential?
Not all coaches work under the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Ethical Standards, which include confidentiality. At Eastern Sun Coaching, we work under ICF ethical guidelines and are bound by these to keep client information confidential. Our group programming is held to similar confidentiality rules, and although the ICF does not bind participants to these standards, every participant signs confidentiality agreements before entering the program.
What is the time commitment to your programs?
All group programming runs for four months and consists of eight 90-minute sessions. Some group programming may include a short 1:1 component with Rico, which will be scheduled separately.
1:1 clients have more flexibility and can choose programs that run for five months, eight months, or one year.
What is the financial investment to work with E.s.c.?
The required investment varies depending on the service and the package you choose. The levers that determine cost include whether you would like to work with us 1:1 or in a group setting, the length of the engagement, and any in-person components of our engagement, specifically those that require travel.
Eastern Sun strives to make our group programs accessible to all. If you’re experiencing financial hardship and want to participate in one of our group programs, please complete this form to apply for a scholarship.
How can E.S.C. help me with recovery?
Recovery can encompass so much: addiction, codependency, sex/porn, over-eating, and so much more. Coaching can be an essential part of recovery by providing support and guidance as you navigate the challenges of healing. We can help you identify triggers, set healthy boundaries, and create strategies for long-term recovery. The focus is on empowerment, self-discovery, and developing a fulfilling life beyond our default habits and behaviors.

What is Breathwork?
Breathwork can come in many shapes and forms. The breathwork practice used by Rico Sol at E.S.C. is known as Conscious Connected Breathwork. It’s a transformative practice used to tap into deeper states of consciousness to heal the mind, body, and spirit.
How does this differ from other breathwork practices I’ve experIEnced?
If you have experience with breathwork, you might have heard of or practiced breathing techniques like Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (alternate nostril breathing), Kapalbhati (breath of fire), Wim Hof, box breathing, or diaphragmatic breathing. Each of these has a unique goal in mind as it relates to the desired outcome.
Conscious Connected Breathwork differs from other practices in the time dedicated to it—one full hour of breathing—and its physiological effects. It can lead to deepened states of consciousness that allow the body, mind, and spirit to intelligently heal what is needed in that moment. Our body keeps the score, and breathwork can help equalize it.
How can I participate in breathwork?
Rico is currently in an apprenticeship program to refine his breathwork facilitation skills. He will soon offer breathwork as part of his coaching packages and as a stand-alone offering.
Each coaching package includes several breathwork sessions to help you tap into the unconscious to improve coaching outcomes.
Breathwork is also available 1:1 and in groups, in person and virtually. Booking will be available as soon as Rico completes his apprenticeship program in 2025.
Rico has limited pro bono availability in 2025 as part of his apprenticeship practicum. Please reach out if you’re interested in learning more.
