Discover Deep Transformational Life Coaching in San Tan Valley, AZ

Living the human experience is a beautiful, complex journey. It's filled with peaks and valleys of pleasure and pain, both physical and emotional. It seems so simple when we're children, but things change as we grow: we begin to form our own opinions, develop romantic relationships, build a career, and work our way through life. With age comes maturity and personal development, but all too often, we grow older without learning how to manage and accept our emotions, thoughts, and relationships. This causes us to get stuck, and for some, they then stay stuck - trapped in a vicious cycle of self-doubt, judgement and negativity.

Sound familiar? If so, ask yourself if you are suffering from any of the following:

Unresolved childhood trauma
Grief, loss, and betrayals in life that you can't get past
Harmful patterns that keep you stuck in a rut, with no hope of moving forward
Anxiety about your personal or work life
Anger, insecurity, and stress that gets the best of you
Codependency and people pleasing-problems that leave you emotionally bankrupt
Family or romantic relationship issues that you can't handle or resolve
Negative thoughts and self-criticizing problems equating to "I'm not good enough" and "I can't succeed."
Overthinking and racing thoughts that distract you during the day and keep you up at night
Lack of motivation or purpose in your life
Low self-worth, self-love, and lack of personal development

If you're struggling because you aren't sure what to do next or how to change your life for the better, know that you aren't alone. Millions of people just like you aren't where they want to be in life. Fortunately, your personal growth life coach in San Tan Valley, AZ, is here to help you reimagine, refocus, and rebuild your life for the better.

We All Suffer at Times. Now, Lets Do Something About It

If you're reading this page, chances are you're not exactly happy with how your life is going. And that's okay. You're in a safe place.

Finding the right person to speak with about the personal growth issues in your life is challenging. Some life coaches in San Tan Valley only see you as a transaction - a means to make money and provide unhelpful, mediocre services. Christy Maxey is the anthesis of uneducated, fly-by-night life coaches. She has worked with thousands of people just like you and has built a reputation of helping people as their life coach in San Tan Valley and throughout Arizona, as well as with clients all over the world.

As a former therapist, Christy uses an effective system of evidenced-based concepts, tools, and exercises like trauma-informed coaching, inner child healing and EMDR to uncover true self-worth. Christy's signature system, the Maxx Method, helps develop emotional intelligence and provides life-long skills that will help guide you in relationships with yourself and others.

Remember: you are not broken YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. There is nothing wrong with you. And, it doesn't have to take years of therapy to get the results you are hoping for

The Maxx Method Difference

Many people use go to therapy but see few results. They've tried reading books, listening to podcasts, and maybe even hired a life coach. But at the end of the day, they're still struggling with root issues that cause stress, anxiety, and feelings of helplessness.

Christy Maxey has developed The Maxx Method, an evidenced-based path to Personal Development, Healing and Emotional Intelligence. When you work with Christy Maxey as your life coach, you will spend your time together getting to the root cause of your problems. You'll answer questions like:

How are you holding yourself back?
What limiting beliefs do you have?
What are you resisting?
How are self-doubt and judgment keeping you stuck?
How is your past STILL affecting you now?
Where is your anxiety coming from?

Often, we don't know the answers to these questions without help. Unfortunately, many therapists and life coaches in San Tan Valley, AZ lack focus. They encourage you to talk about your day, week, and month. They get a general sense of what is bothering you, but before any real work is done, your therapy session is over. In the end, you see few results and you're left reeling with more anxiety and stress than before.

Clients choose Christy Maxey as their personal development life coach because she gets right to the issues without wasting your time. She pulls on her vast experience to heal men and women of all ages, using traditional techniques from psychology and psychotherapy combined with results-oriented coaching. Christy always emphasizes honesty, compassion, and accountability, so you get real benefits and real efficiency with her coaching.

If you're ready to be re-introduced to your authentic self, your journey starts here.

Men's Personal Development Growth Coaching in San Tan Valley, AZ

Men in today's society often fight against strong feelings of stress, anger, and self-defeating patterns that keep them stuck in a rut. Unfortunately, many men are socialized to ignore their feelings and inner experiences. As a men's therapist and life coach for more than 20 years, Christy Maxey has the techniques and experience to break down the barriers keeping men from living the life they want.

Men deserve compassion, but they also deserve high expectations and positive confrontation when necessary. Unlike some life coaches in San Tan Valley, Christy's approach doesn't allow men to hide behind insecurity and grandiosity. Male clients choose Christy because she pushes them to live to their true potential without wasting time.

Coaching Men with Relationship Issues

Relationships don't always come easily and we are not taught how to have healthy, secure relationships. Challenges can be hard to overcome without help. If any of the following problems sound familiar, life coaching with Christy Maxey could be the solution:

Difficult Relating to Partner
Repeating Negative Patterns in Relationships
Feelings of Loneliness
Feeling Misunderstood

Coaching Men with Stress

Stress is the leading root cause of disease. Although men are taught to "just deal with it," that's not the best answer. With Christy Maxey as your life coach, you can address issues with:

No Appreciation for Hard Work
Pleasing Everyone Except Yourself
Exhaustion without Physical Activity
Feelings of Unhappiness and Lack of Motivation

Coaching Men with Anger

It's no wonder that men suffer from aggression and anger when we tell them to turn off their emotions. Life coaching can help you overcome:

Aggressive Behavior
Outbursts of Anger
Career Issues
Relationship Issues
Verbal Aggression and Abuse

If you're a man open to working through your problems to better yourself, there's good news. Christy Maxey's proven, efficient life coaching system can help you be the father, husband, friend, and self that you truly want to be. With the right tools and guidance, you can live life with less anger and stress. And with the right tools, you can focus on finding your voice without resorting to aggression.

Women's Personal Development Growth Coaching in San Tan Valley, AZ

Women are beautiful, unique individuals. But many seem to suffer from the same universal theme - an inner critic that hinders true growth and sabotages them from a fulfilling, happy life.

As a therapist, Christy Maxey spent much of her time working directly with women just like you. Christy combines an incredible depth of knowledge and guidance with life coaching energy, uncovering your true potential as a woman, free of dysfunction.

Unfortunately, no matter what women do as mothers and employees, many believe that they're never good enough. They feel like they're not worthy, not lovable, and not strong.

If you feel like you're unworthy of success and happiness, it's time for a change. It's time to look in the mirror and take care of yourself, not someone else.

If you're ready to reclaim the life you deserve, your journey to success starts with women's life coaching in San Tan Valley. Here are just a few areas that Christy Maxey helps women break free of the chains that keep them down:

Coaching Women Suffering from Pleasing & Codependency

Many women today do everything for everybody else but don't take time to heal or explore personal development. Personal development growth coaching from Christy Maxey can help you address these common issues:

Self-Medicating to Cover Up Feelings of Inadequacy
Feeling like You've Lost Yourself
People Taking Advantage of Your Kindness
Over-Providing for Others

Coaching Women with Unpleasant Emotions

Many women are unsure of how to untangle the mess of emotions they go through. Life coaching in San Tan Valley can help you manage your emotions and find the clarity and love you need in your life. Does this sound like you?

Feelings of Shame and Guilt
Issues with Your Career or Job
Unhappiness with Others' Behaviors
Bouts of Sobbing That Lead to Anxiety and Depression

Coaching Women with Self-Confidence Issues

Though every life is valuable, society triggers many women to de-value themselves as they grow older. One of the core components of Christy's life coaching is to help women value who they are. Self-confidence can help by:

Highlighting Positive Attributes Over Shortcomings
Finding Solutions to Confidence Issues
Teaching You How to Love Yourself, Flaws and All
Giving You the Tools to Assert Yourself Without Guilt

If you're a woman and you're ready for change, we've got great news. Women's coaching with Christy is all about change and focus. It's active and experiential coaching that will keep you engaged and accountable to yourself. The result? A life bursting with happiness, fulfillment, and joy.

EMDR Coaching in San Tan Valley, AZ

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing, is a powerful technique used to heal people from distressing and disturbing life experiences. EMDR Coaching with Christy Maxey allows the mind to heal from psychological trauma much quicker than traditional therapy methods.

When we go through traumatic experiences, we often associate those events with negative beliefs and emotions like feelings of shame, anger, and inadequacy. EMDR helps the mind reprocess the life-changing event, allowing the client to heal and live a life they love.

Is EMDR Right for You?

Many people are reluctant to try EMDR because of poor results from previous attempts. Christy Maxey's EMDR Coaching includes guided visualization and inner child healing for a more robust approach. This tactic is part of Christy's Maxx Method - a life-changing framework for personal development.

What is the Maxx Method?

You may have received help from a therapist or life coach in San Tan Valley, AZ, in the past, only to fall back into bad habits and self-destruction. If that sounds like you, chances are you never addressed the underlying cause of your problems. You cut the weed but never removed the root.

The Maxx Method is a six-part holistic system of evidenced-based tools, exercises, and concepts, developed to help you achieve maximized personal development.

EMDR and the Maxx Method are not only used for extreme traumas. They can be very helpful for common memories and events that foster feelings of low self-esteem and powerlessness, too. These methods were developed to help manage unpleasant emotions, show you how to find deep love, and heal old wounds that keep you stuck.

EMDR and the Maxx Method could be right for you if you have experienced:

Social Anxiety
Loss, Betrayal, and Grief
Negative Core Beliefs
Hurt, Anger, and Sadness
Overthinking
Low Self-Esteem
Lack of Confidence

Break Out of Your Comfort Zone and Be Proud of Your True Self

The world is changing. People are finally learning how to manage their own human experiences. But we can't do it alone. Christy Maxey is here to guide you on the path to a positive, guilt-free life. If you're ready to look inward, find peace, and develop the skills to love your true self, you're in the right place. After all, you've been suffering long enough.

PHOENIX — Our latest winter blast is headed east tonight.

As skies clear, temperatures will plummet.

Freeze Warnings are in effect for many of our lower deserts from 12 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday. Places like San Tan Valley, Maricopa, Casa Grande, Quartzsite, Tonopah, Superior, Florence, Eloy, Ajo and Tucson will freeze overnight as temperatures dip into the upper 20s to low 30s.

Temperatures in these locations will drop below freezing for a longer period of time overnight, which will cause damage to sensitive vegetation.

Even here in the Valley, overnight lows will be close to the freezing point in outlying areas.

If you have any sensitive plants, cover them or bring them inside. Also, remember to keep your pets inside and cover any exposed pipes to prevent damage.

Daytime highs will still be chilly, too.

Here in Phoenix, temperatures will be nearly 10 degrees below normal with highs in the mid 50s Wednesday and Thursday.

We'll gradually rebound as we head into the weekend, though.

Look for highs back in the 60s by Saturday with early morning lows in the upper 30s to low 40s through the weekend.

SAN TAN VALLEY, AZ — It was a moment 17-year-old Katie Amdal will cherish forever.

“When we were hugging, I didn’t want to let go, I just wanted to stay in that moment for as long as possible,” said Katie recalling a special meeting last month.

Back in 2020, Katie, who was 15 at the time, was diagnosed with Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). A potentially life-threatening condition that required a stem cell transplant.

“I was just not really feeling right, I was tired all the time, I started getting fevers a lot,” said Katie.

“I was very nervous that we were not going to be able to find a donor,” said Katie’s mom Vicky.

Vicky says finding a matching donor for this procedure is extremely rare and must come from outside the family. That’s why they turned to an organization called DKMS, the largest stem cell donor center in the world.

“Just trying to find that match, I was afraid,” said Vicky recalling her anxiousness in the process.

Fortunately, they did find a match. A 22-year-old woman in Memphis named Sophie Kink. But when it came time for Katie's lifesaving transplant, doctors informed Katie and her family they didn’t have enough stem cells to move forward.

“Mentally we were ready to go and that was devastating for us,” said Vicky.

Even worse, Sophie couldn’t donate again. But in a twist of fate, another DNA match would reveal itself. This time in the form of Sophie’s twin sister Olivia who was ready to make sure Katie got what she needed.

“I hope there’s never a day that goes by that you don’t see all the good things you were made for, you have changed my life,” said Olivia to Katie at a gathering last month.

More than a year after the transplant, Olivia met Katie in person for the first time at a conference in Orlando. The two shared a long overdue embrace. Tears flowed as Katie presented Olivia with a gift to commemorate their lifelong bond. Katie called the twins her new sisters and sent this message to them...

“Thank you for looking past yourself to help somebody else that you don’t even know, who lives in a different state,” said Katie.

Youth Soccer Program Coming to San Tan Valley

Have kids interested in playing soccer? Tired of driving to Gilbert, Mesa or Chandler to get your kids into an organized club setting? Then hold on to the goal posts, a new youth soccer club has come to San Tan Valley and they are eager to work with you and your family.Club Sports AZ was founded by the Magestro Family.

Club Sports AZ was founded by the Magestro Family. A family of educators and soccer players they have dedicated their lives to helping communities be the best they can. As a family, they have always focused on the youth through sports programs, foster care, and mentoring youth at risk. Over the years they've seen firsthand how sports can contribute to improving youth's physical and psychological health. By promoting mutual respect and tolerance, sports teach important social and interpersonal skills, all effective tools keeping them from falling into a cycle of depression, violence, crime and drug use.

The founder of Club Sports AZ, Stephanie Magestro, grew up playing soccer and has been coaching recreational soccer for the past 20 years. She married, Yeniel Bermudez, former captain of the Cuban National/Olympic Soccer team, who runs a soccer academy, Bermudez Fútbol Academy, focusing on helping players at the highest of levels reach their goals and make their dreams come true. Let's just say that soccer runs pretty deep in this family.

"Soccer is our life and we want to inspire as many little ones to play as possible."
Stephanie Magestro

In 2017, the Magestro family packed up and moved from Alaska to Chandler, AZ. A couple years later they moved to San Tan Valley. While Stephanie has been coaching recreational soccer in Chandler since her return to Arizona, she couldn't be more excited to establish this club in San Tan Valley.

"When we designed Club Sports AZ we had one thing in mind, FAMILY FIRST," said Stephanie Magestro. "The program is setup to allow parents with multiple children playing soccer, to spend more time with their family. No more driving one child to one location and another somewhere else. All siblings will play all their games at the same time, same day, and at the same location."

The program itself is designed as a developmental program and is dedicated to building players' skills while having fun. "Even though this is a recreational program we pride ourselves on the curriculum that has been developed so that as players grow so do their skills," said Stephanie.

So who can play and how do you sign up?The program is open to children between the ages of 3 – 12. It is a co-ed league, so all are welcome. You can register at www.clubsportsaz.com - anytime from now until September 24th for the Fall season.

**Since Club Sports AZ is new to San Tan Valley, they are offering the Early Bird Registration price for the entire Fall season.**

Cost:

Where will the games/practices be held?All Games will be held at San Tan Foothills High School, 1255 W Silverdale Rd. San Tan Valley, AZ 85142.Coaches will choose a location for the week's practice. Practices will be around the area of the school that the player attends. Coaches will reach out a week before games start to introduce themselves and let parents know when and where practice will be. A one-hour practice before every game on Saturdays will also take place, in case the kids are unable to make the weekly practice. There will be 8 games and 16 practices each season.

There will be three seasons each year.

For 2022-2023, the seasons are as follows:

During registration, parents are asked if they'd like to volunteer to coach. "Unlike many clubs that just ask for volunteers and that's that we support our coaches throughout the entire season," said Stephanie. "We provide our coaches with training and a curriculum to follow with weekly trainings."

"Our vision is simple. We want to become a program that will change the lives of its members and ultimately have a powerful positive impact on our San Tan Valley community."
