ADJUST Coaching™ | Martine Garabette PhD
From the outside you’re doing fine. Maybe even better than fine. But inside? You know there is more.
Small, intentional shifts. Profound, lasting change.
ADJUST Coaching™: Crafted from personal experience
You are craving more freedom, more clarity, more ease. You’re not falling apart—but you’re not fully lit up either. You might be navigating a big transition or simply living with a quiet restlessness. Either way, you’re ready to do something about it.
That’s why I created ADJUST Coaching™—designed for people who on paper seem to have it all worked out. And yet have a sense that there’s more to discover, express or unlock within.
ADJUST Coaching™ is for people who are seen as capable, competent, and holding it all together—but suspect they’re holding too much, too tightly. Whether it’s leading, communicating, feeling, or rebuilding, ADJUST Coaching™ helps you pause, reflect, and make small, powerful shifts that realign your inner and outer worlds.
Is this you?
- You look absolutely fine from the outside, and yet inside you are stuck, quietly dissatisfied or maybe even struggling.
- You are determined—and you are going to do something about it.
- You are functioning, but not flourishing.
- Most of all—you are ready for change, but not sure where to start.
ADJUST Coaching™
ADJUST Coaching™ multifaceted and designed to meet you where you are—and help you move toward where you want to be.
In our 1:1 sessions, I’m fully present with you—responding in the moment to what matters most. The ADJUST Coaching™ framework is your in-pocket guide for those ‘in-between’ times; a simple acronym you can use to find clarity in any situation when I’m not there.
A — Awareness
Recognize what's really going on beneath the surface
We begin by noticing your inner landscape: your thoughts, feelings, habits, and bodily cues.
Often, these are running in the background—but they’re shaping everything.
Symptoms: Overthinking. Emotional overwhelm. Feeling stuck.
This is where we name what’s happening.
D — Define
Clarify who you want to be and how you want to feel
This element is about identifying your values, vision, and emotional needs—not just what you want to do, but who you want to be.
Questions we explore:
» What matters now?
» What do you want to stand for?
» How do you want to show up?
J — Join the dots
Understand the patterns that got you here
Together, we trace your emotional history—past experiences, beliefs, and behaviours—and explore how they’re connected.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about insight.
Questions we explore:
» What stories are you still carrying?
» What reactions make more sense in context?
U — Unlock
Loosen the grip of what no longer serves you
This is where the shift begins.
We identify and gently release the emotional habits, thought patterns, and protective mechanisms that are holding you back.
Examples: Guilt. Fear. Self-doubt. Perfectionism. Old identities.
We clear space for something new.
S — Shift
Make small, meaningful changes in real time
With insight and emotional freedom, we begin to test new ways of being.
These aren’t grand reinventions—they’re subtle, intentional shifts that create momentum.
Examples: Boundaries. Conversations. Habits. Thought patterns.
You start to live in alignment.
T — Trust
Anchor into your growth and trust yourself to keep going
This final element is about integration.
Trusting your inner compass. Deepening your emotional resilience.
Walking forward without needing all the answers—because you’re grounded in who you’ve become.
Outcomes: Confidence. Self-trust. Inner steadiness.
You embody the change—not just understand it.
How ADJUST can be used
Fluid, sessions led by you
We won’t tick boxes or follow a script. Instead, I’ll listen, reflect back, and draw on ADJUST where it adds value—often behind the scenes, as a mental roadmap.
Self-coaching companion
After our sessions, ADJUST is yours to carry. It becomes your inner coach—prompting you to pause, reflect, and move forward between sessions.
Groups & workshops
In group settings, ADJUST provides a shared language and structure, helping everyone explore challenges together.
Intake & exploration
Before we meet, I may invite you to a brief ADJUST questionnaire. This helps you begin thinking—and helps me understand where you’re starting from.
Wherever you are on your path, ADJUST meets you there—with structure, flexibility and compassion.
