About Vicki Blair

Now that you know more about SteadiSteps from the About page, I'd like to share a little bit about me, Vicki Blair, founder of SteadiSteps for Relationship Coaching and this site.

In 2007, I began an exploration of relationship as a spiritual practice for my Master's in Psychology thesis. I was not in a relationship at the time, nor did I have a very positive outlook on them. As I explored the topic and interviewed the study participants, my mind was opened to new possibilities about how relationship could be a safe container in which the individuals could experience amazing personal transformation. Within a year of writing that thesis I found myself in a relationship that I now experience as empowering and life changing.

Although a psychologist and trained life coach, for years I remained in the high tech industry as a manager. In mid-2012 I decided to step away from a successful, but no longer fulfilling, career so that I could return my attention to coaching. 

As I currently write a new book on relationship as a spiritual practice, I open up to you my heart and mind so that you, too, can know your own path to greater joy.
