What on earth is a 'Life Coach' anyways?

A life coach encourages and advises clients on a variety of professional and personal issues. Working with a life coach allows you to explore areas of your life that might need a bit transforming. While there are some life coaches who are not certified, it is not a regulated field that requires accredited certification or Master/Bachelor degrees. However, while life coaches (such as myself!) understand our field does not require certification, many have chosen to obtain significant training through life coaching programs and/or from formal educational institutions. 

FAST FACT: A common misconception about the role of a life coach is that we are permitted to prescribe medication or treatment that is primarily performed by a licensed/certified mental health professional. While we are not licensed to do either of those things we can however, recommend that our clients seek professional therapy from a mental health professional when we feel they could greatly benefit from more prescribed treatment. 

Many life coaches offer motivation and emotional support to their clients.  As a life coach, I focus on helping my clients establish proven successful methods that help them achieve their personal goals.

Once we begin working together, it is my responsibility to firmly understand your goals and what you wish to receive during our time together. When we have established a plan, I will provide consistent guidance along the way and encourage tools to use that will help you become more successful throughout your journey!
