Individual Life Coaching is a unique relationship unlike other helping relationships you may be familiar with.
Coaching is a process of partnering together to clarify & manifest a specific change you want to make or a goal
you want to achieve. Some of these may be concrete like a career transition or finding ways to live a dream you've always had.
Others are more about "ways of being" — learning tools to become more centered, make decisions more clearly,
and manage your energy in skilled ways that decrease stress and worry.
I encourage anyone who is interested in life coaching to try out different coaches. Shop around, just as you would for a family doctor or a therapist. To find out more about the beliefs that frame my work and my particular way of coaching, please read about my approach.
I have a range of tools that I tailor to the unique needs of each client, so no two client processes are ever the same. But, there are core elements of my work that are similar for nearly everyone. These include:
- clarifying the vision you hold
- transforming any false, limiting stories you may have about yourself
- hearing, and following, true guidance from your inner voice
- assessing the feasibility of your goals
- developing concrete action steps
- building upon your specific gifts and strengths
- bringing inspiration and motivation into your life
- providing a framework for you to get the most out of your vision's momentum
- helping you recognize positive evidence of success
- imparting skills for you to become your own coach through this transition and beyond
This is a full, 60-minute session where I first help you clearly name the question you have or the transition you're in. From there you'll begin creating a vision or goal that will serve as a touchstone to guide you. You'll identify some next steps or inspired actions that you can take in the days to come if you choose. I'll also explain what a coaching relationship would entail if you decide that a series of sessions would be helpful in manifesting your goals.
To schedule a consultation, call me at 206-709-3948 or email me. We can meet in person or over the phone, whichever is best for you. My fee for the consultation is $125. After our meeting, you'll receive a follow-up email summarizing suggestions for next steps.
I require a minimum commitment of four sessions. Just as with the initial consultation, our work can be done over the phone or in person. Together, we'll assess whether you'll benefit most from weekly or bi-weekly meetings. After the initial four sessions, you may choose to continue with the same schedule, or change the frequency of meetings. Coaching sessions are one hour long and the fee is $125 per session. You are welcome to pay at the time of each session, or pay for the four sessions in advance.

Coaching for Success
I'm here to coach you toward your personal success. Typically, clients make foundational shifts within the first four sessions. You'll determine what success means to you at the beginning, and together we'll track how you're doing. Ensuring that you experience forward movement and positive results is my priority each and every time we meet.
"Integration" Work
Our sessions are only one hour out of your week. While there can be meaningful shifts during that time, it is your ability to apply what you're learning to your daily life that will manifest the greatest change. Within our sessions, we'll identify "inspired actions" and next steps for you to take that will help you integrate what we've discussed. This may be in the form of journaling exercises, body awareness techniques, testing out new ways of communicating and expressing yourself, paying attention to how you feel and behave in certain situations, and visualization exercises. You'll also define concrete actions that move you closer to your desires. None of this should feel like drudgery. It will often be challenging, but I will always do my best to assure that the work will be aligned with your goals.
Session Summaries
After each session, you'll receive a detailed summary of our work together. I prefer that you don't take notes during our session so you can stay as present as possible and not have to worry about capturing key points.
