WHAT IS COACHING?

Coaching is a commitment to make more out of life. Insight is a point of change and action. The point where you see things differently, nothing has “changed” yet everything is seen as different. Which means you can’t change until you have the insight. We do this by partnering together. Getting really clear on your goals and what you want to achieve in your life, and what you believe is holding you back (mindset). We show up and create dedicated space for us to discover what is within you and I do this by asking you piercing questions to see if we can uncover the patterns and beliefs that need to be cleared out.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Therapy- Reaching into your past, what has happened? What has brought you to this place? Healing the past, working through trauma work, meet criteria for a DSM-DX, daily functioning ability is impaired and impacted. Coaching- The role of a life coach is to provide support and guidance to help you achieve the vision you have for yourself while keeping you accountable. Targets where you are right now, and what you need to do to achieve your goal in a set amount of time, you can work with a therapist for years. Coaching how to close the gap and learning how to answer and ask questions. NOT giving advice, being a cheerleader. So the person can become their best self. Asking powerful questions to help achieve goals. Life coaching clients are often very well-adjusted, psychologically stable, and successful individuals who are typically looking to improve one or two specific areas of their lives.

Coaching isn’t trying to “fix a problem” so much as maximize the client’s potential

Coaching sessions involve structured “Deep Dive” homework and concrete goal setting

Coaching sessions focus more on the Here and Now, less on the past and family background

DO I NEED A COACH? OR CAN I DO IT MYSELF?

Life coaching can take you above and beyond your own personal limitations. More often than not, people try to achieve their greatest potential, but don’t realize what stands in their way. It's hard to read the label, when you are inside the jar. A Personal Coach can offer an unbiased and objective perspective, and can help you realize your patterns and habits. Most people experience that they are more efficient when working with a Life Coach and that this provides the opportunity for them to better realize their goals. Instead of trial and error, leading to frustration, Coaching provides the tools, knowledge, accountability, and birds-eye-view needed to create sustainable changes.

WHAT ARE THE PAYMENT OPTIONS?

I believe everyone is willing to invest in their dreams, the goal and purpose of our time together is to discover and find out what your dreams are. To get clear on what steps it will take to get them to become a reality. Every person and goal are unique and each coaching package is individualized. Some goals take longer, some goals take a shorter amount of time. Therefore there isn’t a way for me to know until we work together to see what our time will look like. All payment options will be discussed during our call. We do have a variety of payment plans available.
