Frequently Asked Questions.

 

What is a Life Coach?

A coach is someone who is trained to help you bring awareness to your thoughts and figure out why you feel the way you do and then shows you how to use your brain to get what you want in life.

Coaches are trained to help an individual strengthen their relationship with themselves through self-awareness, and building self-confidence from the inside out. This leads to improvement in a client’s health and wellness and all other areas of their life.

We improve an individual’s relationships (marriage, children, parents, friends, family, co-workers, boss, strangers) through awareness, boundaries and ownership of our own thoughts, feelings and actions. We strive for love, compassion, grace and curiosity for all.

 

A Coach vs. a Therapist?

The difference is a therapist is a medically trained professional that can make diagnoses and treat PTSD, Severe Depression, Severe Anxiety, Suicide and other medical diagnosis. They often reference the past to figure out what is going on for you.

A life coach is more present and future focused, we focus on the the thoughts and feelings you are having about your current circumstances and work with you to change your thoughts in a way that will serve you. We can work in tandem with a therapist or we can see people who have had a traumatic events or other medical diagnosis but we will refer and help you find a therapist if we see what you are struggling with is out of our scope. We do not medically diagnose our clients.

 

Can you help my marriage?

A coach can help you with your marriage by helping you. When we improve our relationship with ourselves it overflows into the other pain points in our lives, strengthening important relationships and bringing awareness to how much love you have for yourself, your friends and family. You learn to respect yourself and respect others. You put in boundaries that keep you safe and allow you to love fiercely and vulnerably. This connection creates long lasting relationships built on unconditional love and confidence. We show you the MANUAL that you have created for the people in your life and unknowingly used this to build up walls and resentment. We help you take these walls down and learn to allow people to be their true self. When people feel free to be themselves they naturally start to improve. We build healthy relationships from the inside out.

My aim is to unlock limiting beliefs, work through cultural road blocks and unpack the heavy expectations that hold you back from from the life and love you desire. I want YOU to reach your full potential with your relationships and find success with your dreams, goals and so much more.

I will push you, hold you accountable and encourage you to maximize your fullest potential to become the best version of yourself.

A few more quick facts.

 

  • All of my sessions are held via Zoom. It allows you to be where you’re most comfortable while still creating a face to face interaction.

  • Time is our most valuable resource, and while we want to invest in ourselves, I understand how busy you are! I offer 30-minute and one-hour sessions, and depending on the program you decide on, we’ll determine together what is best for you.

  • We will cover a range of topics together, and everything we talk about will be guided by you and what your relationships need. Some of the topics that might be discussed are boundaries, intimacy and desire, conditional vs. unconditional love, and belief systems.

  • We all need people that we can trust to be non-judgemental and supportive. Everything we talk about during our sessions will be confidential with the exception of circumstances where your safety or the safety of others are at risk.

  • Working with me looks like weekly or bi-weekly meetings. It depends on your schedule. Less than that isn’t a good use of your time and money because it is less impactful and productive.

    Each session you may come to me with a thought, action, emotion, or result you have encountered that is a problem for you and we will work through it. If you come to a meeting without having something you want to work on specifically then I will have a lesson prepared for you to make sure you are constantly learning and growing through each session.

    Each session is 55mins and it’s important that we stick to that time. If you are going to be late please try and let me know ahead of time because it eats into your coaching time.

    I recommend a minimum of 10 sessions to really start to make a LIFE LONG impact. Less than that you may find yourself resorting to old habits.

  • I will be straight with you I hate being “sold” too, It feels pushy! Nothing bugs me quite like door to door salesmen and their inability to take NO for answer. I’ve been screwed by mlm’s and if I’m not interested in a program or product, I’m not paying for it. My mom has a handwritten note under her NO SOLICITING sign that says “seriously, please don’t make it weird” and believe me the last thing I want to do it is make it weird for you or for myself. I promise to be respectful and I promise to honor whatever decisions you make.

    Honestly I would prefer that you come to me when you are ready to invest. When an individual or couple comes to me to better their lives, it’s because they are interested and ready to do the work. It makes a big difference!

    But on that note, I love helping people so if you sign up for my 45-min free call and that’s all the help you need then that’s awesome and I am genuinely happy we got to work together. I’m not going to bug you for more. That will be up to you to decide if you would like to schedule more appointments.

    I will tell you that there is a major difference between one 45-minute call vs committing to 10 or more weekly 1 to 1 sessions or one of my programs, the progress is huge.

    Life is hard, marriage is hard and I feel called to share everything I have learned from my own experiences (it’s like a life hack) so that life and marriage don’t have to be hard for you. If you want in, then this is the place for you!

  • I have a couple different programs I recommend based off of your personal needs. They are listed on the programs page with descriptions and pricing.
