Frequently Asked Questions
01. What is coaching?
Coaching is used in many areas of our lives. The most common areas include athletics, music/vocal coaches, and business coaches. Health coaching is a process of self-discovery that allows you to find barriers to success that have kept you from achieving your goals. It can be weight loss, lifting your grandchildren, embracing empty nesting, or anything that effects your mind, body, or spirit. Health coaching allows you the space to make positive change, engage in action steps, and experience the accountability to establish new habits to achieve YOUR GOALS. It only takes one step, are you ready to invest in yourself?
02. What will my coaching sessions look like, can we meet in person and not just on Zoom?
Coaching is specific to the clients needs. The sessions are primarily on Zoom and involve personal interaction to establish goals, with the framework to achieve the desired outcome. If your physical proximity allows for in person sessions to help meet your needs, that is also an option.
03. How long is the coaching process?
The ideal scenario is a deep dive session to establish connection and ensure the fit is right. Once coaching sessions begin, every other week for 6 months for a total of 12 sessions is recommended to allow for lifestyle changes to become ingrained habits. This process is fluid and can be customized to specific needs.
