Personalized coaching is a tailored approach to personal growth and transformation, designed to meet the unique needs, goals, and challenges of each individual. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all method, this coaching style adapts to where a person is on their journey, providing customized guidance, tools, and strategies that align with their values and aspirations. Whether someone is seeking clarity, confidence, balance, or direction, personalized coaching helps them uncover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and create a path forward that feels authentic and achievable.
At the heart of personalized coaching is a deep commitment to understanding each client’s experiences, mindset, and vision for their life. Sessions are structured around their evolving needs, allowing for flexibility and a truly supportive partnership. This approach fosters self-awareness, accountability, and empowerment, ensuring that clients not only gain insights but also develop practical steps to implement meaningful, lasting change. Through this customized support, individuals gain the clarity and confidence needed to step into their full potential and create a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.
Clarity & Empowerment Coaching is designed to help individuals gain a deeper understanding what they want in their life, and their goals from a heart centered place and based on their values, not outside expectations. Through guided reflection, thought-provoking conversations, and personalized strategies, clients uncover what truly matters to them and develop a clear path forward. This process removes ego and societal pressures and expectations allowing individuals to align their lives with their values and purpose. Clarity coaching fosters self-awareness, helping clients break free from uncertainty and limiting beliefs that may have kept them stuck.
Empowerment coaching builds on this clarity by strengthening self-trust, confidence, and resilience. It encourages individuals to step into their personal power, embrace their strengths, and take intentional action toward the life they desire. By focusing on mindset shifts, boundary-setting, and self-compassion, clients learn to navigate challenges with confidence and authenticity. This coaching is about not only discovering one’s path but also feeling empowered to walk it boldly, free from doubt and external expectations.
Empath coaching is a specialized form of coaching designed to support highly sensitive individuals in understanding, managing, and embracing their empathic nature. Empaths often absorb the emotions and energy of those around them, which can lead to overwhelm, burnout, or difficulty setting boundaries. Through empath coaching, clients learn to navigate their sensitivity as a gift rather than a burden, developing tools to protect their energy, establish healthy boundaries, and cultivate emotional resilience.
This coaching focuses on helping empaths strengthen their intuition, trust their inner guidance, and create a life that honors their unique sensitivities. It may include practices such as grounding techniques, energy management, mindfulness, and emotional regulation strategies. By fostering self-awareness and empowerment, empath coaching helps individuals turn their deep sensitivity into a source of strength, allowing them to thrive in relationships, careers, and daily life without feeling drained or depleted.
Spiritual mentorship is a personalized journey of exploring and deepening one’s spiritual path in a way that aligns with their values, beliefs, and personal experiences. Rather than prescribing a single approach, a spiritual mentor helps individuals discover practices that resonate with them whether through meditation, mindfulness, energy work, prayer, journaling, or other meaningful rituals. The focus is on fostering a deeper connection to oneself, a higher power, and the world around them in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Through thoughtful guidance and reflection, spiritual mentorship empowers individuals to develop their own spiritual toolkit, integrating practices that bring them clarity, peace, and a stronger sense of purpose. It is a supportive, non-judgmental space where seekers can explore their questions, overcome spiritual blocks, and cultivate a deeper, more intentional connection with their inner wisdom and the divine—however they define it.
Judy, co-founder of Sunlight Spirit Retreats, brings a rich background in art and film to her work. A pivotal moment in her journey came when she contracted Lyme disease during a job in New York which profoundly changed the course of her life. This challenge became a transformative experience. What some might call the “Dark night of the soul” …..through illness, Divorce and practical homelessness, showed her there was only one way to go, and that was to do the work from the inside out. From a victim of life circumstances to empowering her own hero’s journey, this was not an easy or linear path but brought the right changes needed to heal. Judy realized the power of the mind and the mind-body connection and doing that work is what healed her. She then began steering toward a deeper purpose, finding the love lost within herself. She realized how many more people were walking around with a light dimmed by trauma and life circumstances and it ignited her passion for helping others to see their own light. Judy now channels her creativity and resilience into creating retreats that inspire growth, healing, and connection.
Cindy Caulfield, co-founder of Sunlight Spirit Retreats, has a B.S in Psychology and extensive experience in leadership and career development coaching. She has dedicated her life to helping individuals achieve personal growth and fulfillment.

She focuses on personal growth, positivity, and helping others prioritize their well-being.

In April, Sunlight Spirit Retreats put on a talent show to bring awareness to what stress can do to the body and what healing methods can do to bring down stress.
Some of those methods include laughing, dancing, singing and playing so we decided to put on a Talent Show!
It was top A-list talent from Chicago to the Northwest suburbs, including well known judges and everything you could think of to make one of the best talent shows ever!
