What is coaching?
Here's my personal definition of what coaching entails.
Coaching is a practical, powerful and transformative
process through which the coaching client can gain
steadfast support, deep clarity, and ideas, inspiration
and resources that will assist him or her in leading a
happier, more fulfilled and more passionate life. The
coach will listen completely and deeply to what the
client says (and doesn't say), be a nonjudgmental and
interested partner, ask powerful open-ended questions,
hold the client accountable and give homework to help
the client to achieve the results he or she desires. A
good coach is trained to listen to the client's tone of
voice, pauses, choice of words, and other auditory
queues in order to best help the client. As a coach, I
offer encouragement and love to my clients, as well as
ideas, suggestions and advice when requested by the
client. A coach can't do the work for the client, but as
a coach, I am a supportive partner and ally on the
client's journey of inspiration, achievement and
self-discovery. Coaching is a powerful alliance and a
tremendous catalyst for positive change. I find that I
learn as much from coaching my clients as they learn
themselves! For more details about coaching, including
my coaching style, fees, and my coaching specialties,
please visit the services page. I'd be honored to be
your coach!
How long will it be before I begin
experiencing positive results from coaching?
That depends on several factors that may come into
play, but many clients report seeing positive results
after their very first coaching session. Although I
can't tell you for certain how long it will take before
you begin experiencing positive results for yourself, I
guarantee you that with a sincere and passionate
commitment, and through working in partnership with a
skilled coach, you will definitely gain many positive
benefits from the coaching experience!

How do I know that coaching would
benefit me?
Coaching can be highly beneficial for almost anyone.
Do you feel off balance in your life, like you have no
time for yourself, or like there aren't enough hours in
the day? Do you long for a deep spiritual connection and
walk with God? Would you like to feel more worthy,
empowered or excited about your life? Coaching can be
exceedingly helpful in all these situations, and many
others! No matter your current circumstances or life
situations, a coach is there to really "hear" you and
assist you in solving your problems and bettering your
life in a supportive and compassionate manner. A coach
can help you with successful goal attainment, generating
more creativity and new ideas, and becoming happier and
more empowered. As a spiritual coach, I can also assist
you in learning to live a deep and fulfilling spiritual
life. It's often much easier to talk with a coach about
situations in your life than it would be to talk to a
family member or your best friend, because a coach is
nonjudgmental, neutral and intent on helping you to see
the big picture and lead a life that fulfills you.
What kinds of clients do you coach?
I coach people, (especially women), who are willing
and eager to explore who they are, what they want, and
the many possibilities that lie open to them on their
life's journey. They long to discover a deep sense of
themselves... their gifts, talents and purposes. Many of
them long to gain a deeper relationship with God, Jesus
and / or their angels. My clients have open minds and
open hearts, and they are also open to new ideas and
ways of viewing their situations and circumstances. They
are passionate, sincere and caring individuals who wish
to serve in their own special way. They are people who
are creative, dreamers, doers, and / or lovers of God
and the spiritual. All of my clients have brought me
great joy in working together with them, and I'm deeply
honored that our paths converged. Each client is a great
blessing in my life.

How can I find out whether you're the
right coach for me?
The best way to know whether I'm the right coach for
you is to experience coaching with me first hand. Please
contact me to arrange a free forty-five minute Extraordinary
Life Taster Session, in which I'll answer your
coaching-related questions, we can get to know each
other a bit, and you can experience my coaching style,
and the power and practicality of coaching for yourself.
If, at the end of our session together, we both feel
that a coaching relationship together would be a good
fit for both of us, then we can joyfully prepare for our
coaching partnership. If we feel that another coach
might be a better fit for you, then I'd be happy to make
a recommendation for you.
How long should I coach with you?
I require that my clients make a commitment to
coach with me for a minimum of three months, three or
four times a month. I've found that this time frame
allows for maximum results from the coaching
relationship. Because coaching can help in such a wide
variety of situations, it's easy for most clients to
find areas that they would like to be coached through.
Many people decide they would like to continue coaching
long after the three months are up, because they find
coaching to be so powerful and beneficial for them. Some
people stay with their coach for years, because they
can't imagine their lives without that supportive
alliance! I've been with my own coach since April of
2006, and plan to continue coaching with her for a long
time to come!

In our coaching sessions together,
will you advise me as to what choices I should make,
what direction I should take, or what I should do or not
do in my life?
Generally, coaches don't advise or make suggestions to
their clients. However, if a client does request that I
advise him or her, and if I feel that a client could
truly benefit from the advice I could offer them, then
I'll be happy to share with my client from my own
personal experience. If I truly feel that something I've
discovered or experienced would be beneficial and / or
helpful for my clients to hear, then I'm happy to assist
in that way, if my client is interested, and grants me
permission to share with them in that way.
Will what happens in our sessions be
kept confidential?
Absolutely! Our sessions will always be safe and
sacred times in which you can openly share your thoughts
and feelings, without any fear of being judged or
condemned. The only time when I would not honor
confidentiality, is if I thought you were being harmed,
or if I thought you were going to do harm to yourself or
someone else. Then, of course, I would have to report
this to the proper authorities.
Are phone sessions really effective?
Yes, phone sessions are very effective. As a coach,
I can pick up on many auditory queues over the phone
that greatly assist me in coaching my clients. When
coaching via phone, it is often much easier to address
the agenda that the client brings to the session,
because the coach and client don't have the various
visual judgments or distractions that might crop up in
an in-person session. Many people find that they are far
more comfortable talking about themselves via phone than
face to face. Also, phone sessions are extremely
convenient for both my clients and myself, as I can work
with clients outside my local area, and internationally.

us.

Can I pay you in some form other than
PayPal?
Yes, if you let me know before sending payment,
you’re welcome to send me cash (at your own risk), a
money order (in US funds only), or a personal check in
US dollars. Your check must clear before we schedule
your session.
Do I need to pay you before our
session together?
Yes, please get payment to me prior to our session
together, unless we've made other arrangements before
hand.
What happens if I have to miss our
session?
If you must miss a session, please contact me at
least 24 hours ahead of our scheduled appointment, and
we can reschedule. If it's an emergency, and you're
unable to contact me prior to your missed session,
please get in touch with me as soon as possible, and we
can work something out. I understand that sometimes
these things can't be avoided!

How do you prepare for a coaching
session?
Before every coaching session, I take a few minutes
to relax, clear my mind and center myself. I also say a
little prayer before each session, asking God to guide
me in best assisting my client, and granting me the
ability to be at my very best as a person and as a
coach. I also pray that God will bless and stand with my
client. Prayer is one of my great passions, and I know
that my relationship with, and reliance upon God helps
me to be the most effective coach I can be.
How should I prepare for a session
with you?
If at all possible, just take a little quiet time to
get comfortable, and center yourself, pray or reflect.
Still your mind. Decide on your agenda for our upcoming
session. In other words, think about any questions,
thoughts or problems you'd like to bring to the session,
and what you'd like to accomplish during our time
together.
Do you offer any kind of support to
clients in-between sessions?
Yes. You're having multiple sessions with me,
you're most welcome to send me emails in-between our
sessions, if you have any questions or if anything comes
up that you'd like to update me on or tell me about.

I ordered a meditation product from you. When can I expect to receive it?
Meditation scripts may take up to ten business days
to create, depending on the particular client and his or
her individual needs and wishes regarding the script. A
customized meditation on either cassette or CD may take
as long as twenty-one business days to create, plus
additional time to allow for shipping. Customized
meditation products are a real labor of love from me to
you, and I guarantee that they'll be worth the time it
takes to create and receive them.
I have an additional question that is not answered on this page. What do I do?
If you have any additional questions, please feel
free to contact me, and I'll do my best to answer them
for you. Thank you!
