How long do sessions last? . . .

Coaching sessions normally last between 30 and 60 minutes depending on what your coach offers. Most clients meet with their coaches two, three, or four times a month. I offer a 30 or 60-minute session.

How much does a life coaching session cost? . . .

Many coaches work on a sliding scale. Coaching can range anywhere from $125 per session depending on the coach. Due to the economic situation in our country, I am offering my new clients from 15% to 25% discounts depending on their preferred Investment Plans. I also offer customized life coaching programs so you can have a plan that works for you.

Do I have to sign a contract?. . .

Some coaches have contracts and some do not. Since I operate under confidentiality, I ask my clients to sign the standard agreement of the International Coach Federation recommends explaining what coaching is and what it is not. The agreement does not lock the client in for any amount of time. It has to do with the client's understanding of what coaching is.

How and when do I pay my coach?. . .

For Investment Plan, payment should be made via Paypal which caters to all major credit cards. After selecting your preferred Investment Plan you can click the "Avail Now" button and you will be redirected on the Paypal website wherein you can settle the payment.

For Customize Plan, you can request a free quotation here first then I will send you an invoice. Payment should be not later than the due date indicated on your invoice.

If you have to miss a session you notify your coach 24 to 48 hours in advance and arrange another time. If the coaching relationship ends before you have had all the sessions you paid for, the sessions will be held for 6 months from the paid state and be forfeited thereafter.

You can also contact me here if you have any other questions.

What is the difference between therapy and life coaching?. . .

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on restoring clients to regular functioning. Events in their lives may have caused them to lose hope and they are not maintaining the equilibrium.
Life coaching focuses on what the client needs, wants, and what his/her vision is of where he/she wants to be. Coaching can move people in the direction of flourishing in life. The coach is a partner and together we design steps to move you forward toward realizing your vision.

*If you are severely depressed and are having thoughts of suicide you should contact a mental health professional right away.

Is life coaching done in person or over the phone?. . .

I do most of my coaching over the phone or online. Some coaches meet with clients in person. I take on clients from anywhere in the world! The client is responsible for calling the coach so as long as the client's long-distance calling plan allows the client to call the U.S. I am happy to work with people around the world. If you are local, in-person sessions may be available depending on availability.

What is Life Coaching?. . .

Life coaching is a collaborative relationship between you and your coach. Through the coaching process, your goals are clarified and articulated and the interaction between you and your coach moves you forward toward your goal. You may come to life coaching with a solid idea of what you want to accomplish or with a desire to explore many areas of your life. An effective life coach will create a safe, judgment-free place where possibility thinking and brainstorming flow, a place where change can occur. The bottom line, people come to life coaching because they want things to be different in their lives. A life coach will help them get there.

Have you ever experienced any of the following?. . .

Sometimes you may find yourself drifting in a life full of empty routines, a life void of real meaning. This emptiness results from living a life that is not truly aligned with your values, interests, or what motivates you. A life coach can work with you to create a life full of meaning and aligned with your values. The coach will understand your vision of what you want to accomplish and will hold that vision for you until you reach your goal.

Have you felt motivated and excited about the changes you wanted to make after reading a self-help book? Like many people, you probably became distracted by everyday living and never made the change. A benefit of having a life coach by your side is that she will stay with you each step of the way until changes are made and your goals are met. We live in a fast-paced society that can leave us feeling empty at times. We become distracted from living our life on purpose and instead our days become filled with running here and there. We may find ourselves not vigorously engaged in our lives and feeling as though we have lost power over the details of our life.

We may continue to think about changes we truly desire to make such as a career change, creating a better balance between work and home life, a new relationship, going back to school, moving, writing a book, starting a business and many other changes but never reach the finish line.

You may have a goal in mind you deeply want to attain but find yourself overwhelmed by what it will take to get there. You may notice self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts holding you back from taking the first step.

I am very interested in hearing about the changes you would like to make and some of the roadblocks you face. Please feel free to call or e-mail me. Better yet, sign up for a complimentary 30-minute coaching session. I look forward to hearing from you.
