What is life coaching?

Life coaching is a collaborative partnership that empowers you to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. It identifies where you’re stuck and focuses on setting and achieving meaningful and do-able goals, upgrading your self-beliefs, and improving your quality of life.

What is the difference between life coaching and therapy?

While therapy often delves into your past to address emotional or psychological obstacles, life coaching touches on the past to figure out how it can inform your future. It helps you identify and achieve your desired outcomes, emphasizing positive, personal development and actionable steps. While both therapy and coaching can be powerful interventions for stress and anxiety, they differ in their approach.

Are you a certified coach?

Yes, I am a certified Life & Health Coach through the Health Coach Institute, which is recognized by the International Coaching Federation. Because of my extensive life experience with anxiety and depression, I’ve specialized my coaching in guiding and supporting women in their journey towards working on areas of stress and anxiety that are holding them back through habit-building and accountability coaching.

Why might I choose life coaching?

Life Coaching may be worthwhile to try if you enjoy not only talking about your challenges, but also working on “actionable” steps to get you where you want to go. In some ways, coaching is like “physiotherapy for your stress and anxiety” or “healing through the backdoor.” By weekly working on goals and habits that move you forward, you begin to see that, actually, you “can”—which in turn increases self-confidence, mood and joy.

Why is coaching so “positive”?

People often seek help because they’re asking, “What is wrong with me?” But coaching focuses on what is “right” with you. The very nature of coaching is trusting in someone’s potential. Coaches hold a “future version” of their clients in their mind. They already believe in your future results. 

Why is the Custom Coaching experience 12 weeks (3 months) long? 

The main reason for 12-week coaching experiences is that it takes about 3 months for a new habit to take root. Twelve weeks allows you to develop self-awareness, practice, recoup from self-sabotage, and have time for self-trust to take place. Consistency, repetition, and a deliberate effort to practice the behaviour are key factors in successfully forming a new habit.

When would life coaching not be for me?

If you are still processing any deep psychological or emotional challenges that are debilitating, then coaching may not be the right fit for you right now. If at any point a Life Coach feels your challenges warrant a therapist or counsellor, she would suggest we add one to the “team” of people who can support you. In no way, do we suggest that life coaching replace your family doctor or therapist.

What kind of people do you work with?

I work with women who are ready to change their relationship with stress and anxiety, enhance their self-belief, and create positive change. My clients are individuals who are curious, teachable, open-minded, willing to try, and most importantly: ready to change their status quo.

Why do you give out a complimentary discovery call?

The discovery call allows us to connect, discuss your goals, and determine if we're a good fit. It's an opportunity to understand your needs and explore how coaching can benefit you. 

Is life coaching covered by benefits?

No, life coaching is not covered by benefits. But, believe you are worth the investment!

How “ready” must I be to start coaching?

To benefit fully from coaching, it's helpful to have an open mindset, a willingness to explore new perspectives, and a commitment to taking action towards your goals. On a scale of 1-10, you should be at a 7 of “readiness” to put in the effort.
