What is Life Coaching?

We all have areas in our lives that we would like to improve upon and although we often already know what to do, more often than not we don’t do it and are in need of someone who can point us in the right direction. Life Coaching helps you to reach your goals by breaking down the barriers you impose on yourself.

What is Diet Coaching?

Diet coaching is one-on-one support and guidance to help you meet your health and weight goals. A Health coach specializing in weight loss can help you with:
1.) Devising ways of shopping, meal planning, and choice-making that suit your lifestyle, tastes, and needs—that you can live with.
2.) Learning to think in ways that lead to good choices, and to stick with this until the new thoughts become automatic.
3.) Learning how to deal effectively with the self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors that are very common during the change process.
4.) Developing a range of new ways to deal with stress, emotions, and other triggers that have led to overeating in the past.

What can a Life Coach help me with?

• Love life – Whatever the problem, a life coach could help you to understand your love-life problems and then work towards rectifying them and create a loving relationship that works.
• Business life – Life coaches can help with confidence, leadership, decision-making and work/life balance.
• Personal life – perhaps you feel like you’re not making the most of life. There’s so much to see, do and learn in this world, but often a lack of confidence, self-esteem, time and will-power can cause us to stay inside not doing anything.
• Self care – Getting your own needs met is first and foremost. Improving yourself is at the heart of life coaching.

What is the difference between a Life Coach and a Therapist?

Life Coaches help people enhance the quality of their lives. They are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. Coaches are generally action oriented and work on four areas with clients:
• Defining goals
• Formulating a plan that will use the client’s skills
• Holding the client accountable for progress
• Providing structure, encouragement and support.
Therapists focus on moving people from a state of dysfunction to one of being functional. But there are many people who are very functional, yet maybe not highly functional or achieving their full potential. The only place they could turn is the self-help section of the bookstore. Life coaching provides an alternative.

How many coaching sessions will I need?

You can have as many or as few coaching sessions as you’d like. Because I offer virtual coaching, the sessions can easily fit around your schedule. Some people hire a life coach once a month, some people have a session once a week. It is entirely up to you to decide. There are savings plans available if needed. The first step is to book your discovery session.

How do I start the life coaching process?

Contact me to schedule an appointment for a Discovery session, which is the initial, structured session that forms the foundation of our work to follow (during the Discovery session we will explore values, focus areas and goals). Then we can decide what kind of schedule and payment arrangements would work best for you.

Why should I do life coaching online?

Regular coaching with live interaction is a fantastic tool for creating accountability, motivation and success in your life. But you may find you are too busy for live coaching. Or perhaps you are simply more comfortable using computers, and like the freedom online coaching can bring you. Online coaching is just as effective, and allows you to work through your coaching items at your own pace.
I have been coaching clients face to face and online for over 15 years with the same results. Either way you receive a wide range of coaching tools, one-on-one counseling, and you receive feedback from your coach, and engage in an ongoing and stimulating coaching process.

Are there guaranteed results?

Each person’s experiences and results are unique to them. What you will achieve from coaching entirely depends on your goals, your openness with your coach, and the degree of effort you contribute to the coaching process.
Due to the individual nature of your motivation, skills, and willingness to engage in new ways of thinking, I can make no guarantees about your personal outcome.

How much weight will I lose?

This depends on many factors: your size to start with, your individual lifestyle, weight history, metabolism, stress level, toxin level, and how ready you are to make changes.
It’s important to focus on how you feel when you change your diet. My clients typically feel more energetic, have increased mental clarity, focus, memory, less cravings, and are more satisfied.
Blood sugar levels balance out (many reverse diabetes), Blood pressure decreases, Inflammation decreases, and the body detoxes, etc.
