FAQ’s
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.” -Rumi
If that pull is leading you to explore coaching, these FAQ’s offer gentle guidance. Here you’ll find clear answers to the questions people most often ask as they consider working with a coach.
Expect clarity. Expect breakdowns and break throughs. Expect to be seen for who you are, not for what you did. Expect each session to focus on what’s real, what you made up, and what actions move you closer to your vision. No fluff. No long story telling. Just real change.
Q: What can I expect from sessions?
Coaching helps change perspectives; shift blame to responsibility, uncover blind spots, and make decisions from choice rather than fear. Coaching can help you stop repeating the same behaviors and expecting different results. You stop reacting to life because you don’t like the way it feels. Most clients say they feel more themselves than they’ve been in years, if not decades.
Q: What are the benefits of coaching?
I’m not a surface-level coach. I listen to the energy behind your words. I hear the internal beliefs running the show. I will challenge you, ask the hard questions, and walk beside you as you break free from the patterns and stories that have kept you restless. If you’re ready to show up fully, I’m the right coach for you. If not, that’s okay too.

Q: How does therapy and coaching differ?
Therapy guides you through understanding and healing the emotions and experiences that shaped you. It brings clarity to how the past may still be influencing your present. Coaching focuses on the future, helping you rebuild after that healing, create new habits, deepen your identity, and move into action. They overlap at times, but their directions differ: therapy looks inward to heal; coaching looks forward to grow.
You might feel a shift in the first session. Being seen and heard can be powerful. Change can appear as immediate relief, but lasting transformation unfolds over 3-9 months. Results build over time and depends more on your willingness and integration, rather than the calendar.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
Q: What if I feel stuck during the process?
Feeling stuck is completely normal and actually a sign that something important is shifting. When you reach that stuck point, it usually means you’re bumping up against an old belief or a familiar pattern that’s ready to be changed. That’s exactly where breakthroughs happen. Getting stuck isn’t a failure; staying stuck is. And I won’t let you stay there.
