Coaching is a collaborative partnership that focuses on identifying, setting and taking action on goals. In coaching, we work on a variety of things including overall health and well-being, personal, and business goals. During the pre-session we discuss this more and get clear on what you’d like to focus on to begin with coaching.
Frequently Asked Questions
Therapy generally focuses on problems from your past that are having present consequences. During therapy you will dive deep into past issues that may have caused trauma and process feelings and emotions related to these issues.
Coaching focuses on present awareness with an eye toward the future. In other words, where are you now and where would you like to go? During coaching we use the past to inform the present and there is opportunity for healing and new understanding of past themes and even trauma. I have many clients who use therapy and coaching, in tandem, to provide even deeper opportunity for growth and healing. My work as a coach is to support you on your path, keep you focused on self acceptance, awareness, and present moment, while cultivating healthy lifestyle habits and working on building your future.
It depends! We will flush that out more in the pre-session as it all depends on what you’d like to work on in coaching. For well-being coach clients it can be anywhere from 12 weeks-3 years. For co-active clients it can be anywhere from 6 weeks on up. In general, a 12 week commitment to coaching is a good place to start.
We can determine the answer to that question more in the pre-session. If you are looking to take a look at yourself, your habits and patterns, and take action on some goals, you are in the right place 🙂
I work with anyone 18 years of age and up.
There is a certain amount of momentum involved in this work. It is a good rule of thumb to begin working together weekly. From there, we will know when more space might be needed between sessions. It all depends on what we are working on and what your goals are. More about this in our pre-session.
In Their Words
“Working with you on this journey to a healthier me has been an amazing experience. I’ve learned so much about myself! After 30 years of therapy, I knew I needed a different direction. That’s when I found you! The support I am given from you on this new chapter of my life has been a blessing. I can’t wait to continue working on a better life for me and my family!”

“Well-being coaching with Stephanie ended up helping me through one of the most difficult periods of my life, and it has resonated into all aspects of my relationship with myself and the people around me. I’m profoundly grateful.”

“Well being coaching was exactly what I needed to help shift my perspective. The insights I gained about myself are invaluable. The process was very reflective and I discovered things about myself as well as my relationships with others. Coaching surpassed my expectations and if you are willing to do the “work” it’s so worth it.”
