We’ll spend the bulk of the time just listening to all that’s inside your heart on the given issue that you’d like coaching for. If you've completed my free online Life Balance Quiz or another of my free coaching resources, I'll help you better visualize where you are now and where your life COULD be. Then I’ll answer any questions you have about coaching or about getting started.

Unlike mentoring or teaching, a Christian life coach uses tools like careful listening, powerful questioning, and other additional helpful assessments as needed to help you uncover the best plan for your future.

A coach is not there to give advice or the “correct” answers. Instead, as a Christian life coach, I believe that God has given you the answers you need to move forward and my job is to help you uncover those.  

Together we'll formulate a powerful plan for change, and I'll offer encouragement and brainstorm strategies as you face obstacles on the journey. Of course, I'll also be your biggest cheerleader as you move forward toward the full life you desire.

I can't wait to help you!

Counseling offers therapeutic help for those dealing with past trauma; while coaching helps clients discover where they are now and where they want to go.

Here's an easy explanation: Counseling focuses on the past, and coaching focuses on the future. 

Christian life coaching is guided by the Holy Spirit, meaning that He is with us on every call and we lean on Him for direction in every part of the coaching journey. If you are comfortable with prayer, as your coach, I will pray for us as we begin each coaching session to invite the Holy Spirit into our time.

Before each session starts you’ll complete and send me a copy of a weekly prep form. This helps us know what you worked on this week in regards to the goal, struggles you may be facing, things you’re learning, and other helpful information. This gives us great insight as we begin the session.

During the session we’ll explore what you shared on the prep form, talk about any obstacles, and come up with a next step for action. My role as a coach is to practice deep listening to all that you’re sharing, to ask powerful questions that take you where you want to go, and help point you back to your values and goals. Through it all, we’ll listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit as he speaks to both of us. 

Each session builds on another as we slowly make small-but-powerful baby steps toward the life changes you're loooking for!

A minimum of three months, but most clients work with a coach for 6 months, a year, or longer, depending on the issue and each individual client’s need.

Goal setting and vision casting will come fairly quickly in our session times, but the real work (the kind that produces long-lasting results) comes as we work together to overcome obstacles, make necessary adjustments and keep you accountable to where you ultimately want to end up.

Yes, coaching is an investment. But my goodness... so are YOU! You have a golden opportunity to change your life from where it is now to where you want to be. What could be worth more than that?!
