DEFINITION of LIFE COACHING

Coaching is a relationship between Coach and Client. The Coach focuses on advancing a client's potential by working hand-in-hand with client to reach their specific life goals in various domains of life. Coaches are more concerned with the gap between the present and envisioned future. Coaching helps clients feel empowered, 

​

“Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” ICF (International Coaching Federation) 

​

DEFINITION of THERAPY

"The study of the mind and behavior…the understanding of behavior is the enterprise of psychologists."  (APA: American Psychology Association)

​

GOAL of LIFE COACHING

A Life Coach helps the clients set clear aligned goals. A coach works along side the client in guiding and presenting new perspectives, perceptions, or solutions the client may have never thought about before. A Life Coach supports and holds a client accountable to the change the client seeks to make and untangles limiting beliefs from the clients mindset. Life Coaches motivate, encourages, and uplifts the fog from the clients life.

​

​

TIME FOCUS of LIFE COACHING: The present and future.
We do touch on your beliefs, childhood influences, and background to gain knowledge that will help us see through to what the root is. Then, we create awareness from the past and use it as fuel and implementation of what to do in the future. Life Coaching cares more about where you're going than where you have been. But I, care about both. As I believe they both play a KEY role in who you are, who you desire to be, and how to get you there in a way that BEST SERVES YOU.

​

TIME FOCUS of THERAPY: The past.

Therapy focuses heavily on the client's past. Relationships, experiences, and situations that led the client to seek out therapy and a solution or diagnosis to a clinical prognosis.

​

LENGTH of LIFE COACHING

Shorter. Usually 3 or 6 months, sometimes longer. I have worked with clients as short as 1 session (that's how quickly this can work), up to 2 years (because growth is a journey and some souls crave consistent sessions throughout their different seasons of life). Book a free consultation here to see which would work best for you.

​

LENGTH of THERAPY

Longer. Usually ranging a year to several years.

​

ROLE of CLIENT in LIFE COACHING

Active role! Openness, vulnerability, accountability in conversations,. Client chooses their own action steps based on what their needing most in the phase of life that they are in. Client is responsible for showing up to sessions on time, scheduling own sessions, trying out new methods and mindsets, and willing to step out of comfort zone. We work together to discover your true, authentic self. Not the self you think you should (or have to) be.

​

ROLE of CLIENT in THERAPY

Responsive role. Openness in in therapy session. Willing to answer therapist questions directed around feelings, emotions, behaviors, and challenges you struggle with. 

​

What can I expect if we work together?​

When we work together, you will choose your consistency with sessions. You can choose the number of sessions that works for you and your schedule. Some clients prefer weekly or bi-weekly. Some clients prefer monthly or quarterly. My coaching is not "one size fits all" -- its what size fits you, to fit into the season of life that you are in. 

 

In each session, I will ask you many questions to get to understand who you are, what you value, where you want to go in life, and how you will obtain that while we work together. Coaching sessions are private, not recorded, and can go from 60-minutes up to 120 minutes depending on  your preference. Clients have the freedom and access to schedule sessions whenever aligns for them.

​

I use an arsenal of techniques, tools, and strategies along with my gift of intuition to help you gain clarity, motivation, empowerment, and TAKE ACTION! Together we will work hand-in-hand to get you to where you want to be.

​

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME DURING THE PROCESS?

Open-mindedness. Vulnerability & transparency. And a strong commitment to your growth journey. You will only shift your life, your relationships, or your mindset if you allow yourself to! 

Can you guarantee I reach my goals?

No. I am not you. I can not make you do anything. You are the only one who can move yourself in the direction that YOU want to go in. I help you figure out what direction that is and keep you accountable to that which most aligns with you. You are the leader of your life. I am the service to help you get up, start moving, and align in the direction that you are magnetized towards. I help you map out the next steps in front of you and watch your mind, body, and life expand into what you've always wanted it to be! But, none of that can happen without you committing to your growth and showing up for your goals.

​

WHAT ARE YOUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE?​

​

As a Life Coach I work with clients in the following areas:

  • Mindset, Thought-work, & Limiting Beliefs

  • Business Mapping and Purpose Alignment

  • Emotional Intelligence (EQ) & Cognitive Awareness

  • Spiritual Connection; to the Self / Higher Power

  • Love of the Self, Self-Worth, Self-Respect

  • Confidence, Clarity, & Purpose

  • Discernment, Decision-Making, Relationships

  • Time-Management, Stress-Relief, & Burnout

  • Intentional Happiness, Life Fulfillment, Hobbies

  • Setting Goals, Implementing Healthy Discipline and Habits


When we work together, we create customizable tools and strategies for you to implement slowly into your life (tools that work specifically for you, not just what's "trendy" to do on social media). 

​

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC CLIENTELE?

I coach ambitious humans seeking alignment internally and externally to live a life of ease and clarity. That means, ambitious people, any age (18+). I have coached over 110 humans, among multiple industries, throughout 14 countries.

Many of my clients are students, entrepreneurs, parents, creators, or artists of some kind. They seek fulfillment, creativity, and alignment while practicing intentionality throughout each category of their life.
