What qualifications do you possess as a life coach?
I have finished two training courses. Coach Training Institute (CTI) is the first. In New York City, I finished this in 2018. I completed the Well-Coaches training & certification program for my second set of training, & I obtained my certification as a Health & Well-Being Coach in 2023.
What kinds of obstacles or objectives do the majority of your clients face?
I like to use a metaphor to describe why clients come to me in order to answer this question. Clients, to put it simply, seek direction. They need help from a navigation tool like me to help them create their road map because they want to grow personally in some aspect of their lives. Someone may feel stuck on the side of the road. It is possible that someone lacks the self-confidence necessary to get started. On the other hand, clients might begin with a blank map & know exactly where they want to go, but starting is their challenge. Whatever the goal, clients are looking to strengthen the inner compass & develop turn-by-turn directions to their end destination.
How long is a typical coaching relationship?
Usually a year. Personal growth takes time & energy. It’s a commitment to yourself, & it takes work & time.
Why did you choose life coaching as a career?
My original plan was to get a master's in social work and become an LCSW. Some difficult life circumstances halted that process & ultimately led me to coaching. What I found is that coaching was in line with what I wanted to do all along. Help people move forward & live a life on their terms & with intention.
What separates you from other life coaches?
My coaching approach involves a dual-action method, where we focus on both inner work and action-based goal setting simultaneously. During our sessions, we explore inner aspects like barriers, values, & building inner strength and confidence. At the same time, we set realistic yet challenging goals for long-term personal growth and development. Each session is unique a& adapted to your needs, with no strict order of operations. By blending inner work with actionable steps, it supports holistic growth, fostering sustainable change & success.
Will you be accessible to me in between the scheduled sessions?
To support a healthy work-life balance, please reach out via email or the client portal instead of calling between sessions. I'll do my best to reply within 72 hours. If you'd like to schedule a 15-20 minute check-in call between sessions, you can add it for just $40.
Is coaching covered by medical insurance?
At this time medical insurance does not cover coaching services.
