What is Life Coaching and how will we work together?
|
There’s a lot of confusion on what exactly a Life Coach does, especially in an unregulated field where anyone can call themselves a coach with out any real training. I am fully certified and credentialed Life Coach. I am continuously learning, researching and bringing new tools into my practice, but the essence of Life Coaching is this:
My training and my clients have made me a great coach. The work has been transformative for me personally in my day to day life. If you are a creative seeking personal growth, clarity of vision and measurable results, I'd love to work with you! As always, first session is on me if your looking to change it up and need some real support. COACHING WORKS. When we better understand our brain (our most valuable tool), we can be in control of it, instead of it being in control of us. I use writing, thought exercises, accountability, listening, and open, honest communication around any issue that you bring to the table. As your coach, I challenge you to embrace the discomfort of change in order to become the best version of you. |

-We are meant to do hard things-
FAQ's:
Why "Uncomfortable"?
Because we don't evolve or grow unless until we choose (or are forced) to do things that make us even a tiny bit uncomfortable, emotionally or physically.
CHOOSING to be uncomfortable ahead of time (instead of being at the mercy of our own discomfort in the moment) is where the magic REALLY happens.
What is your typical process for working with a new client?
First Session: (Gratis) Here to answer any questions you have about coaching. I talk about what coaching is (and isn't!) and my personal coaching style. I'd like to hear about you, your goals and the specific results you are looking for through life coaching. Let's see if we're a good fit!
Second Session: We set an agenda together on how we will work together, how often and map out the pathway to your destination so we can get you some real results!
Following Sessions: We check in on the previous weeks goal(s). We set a focus for the individual session. We explore where you are at and what's impacting you. We decide what kind of measurable result would be helpful for that session. Together, we determine an action plan for the week!
How does payment work?
I process payments through PayPal or Venmo, whichever you prefer.
We will set up your payment plan together, either weekly or monthly. Payment due day of session.
What education and/or training do you have?
I am a Professional, Certified and Credentialed Life Coach with 200+ hours of 1:1 client work.
2020-2021: I completed both the Associate and Professional Wellness Life Coach Training Program through Coach Training EDU, consisting of 125 hours of training and 12 Mentor Coaching Hours.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My inspiration to become a coach came from a core desire to help young entrepreneurs while running my own small business as a designer and maker. I wanted to be the person that I wish I had available to me when starting my own small business. I've mentored several employees who have gone on to start their own successful business which has been an excited process to witness and be a part of.
When I was looking to switch gears both personally and professionally, I hired a life coach which was truly transformative experience on both fronts.
It has guided me into being my most creative and authentic self, improved my relationships, and helped me find resilience and new systems to deal with anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism and time-management struggles.
All in all, coaching has positively changed the lens through which I look at the world, my relationship to others, my work, my creative practice and myself.
What types of clients have you worked with?
So many incredible humans: Artists, musicians, designers, makers, upholsterers, writers, teachers, illustrators, sign painters, muralists.... you name it. Also, queer, straight, trans, non-binary. Coaching honors my love of community, dedication to diversity, and the belief that we can all benefit from guidance and support. I am passionate about helping creative individuals reach their goals and aspirations through coaching. Investing in your personal growth can ultimately be the best gift you can give to yourself and to others.
I know it has been for me ♡
