FAQ

What is Life Coaching?

Coaching is about working from the "inside-out" to help you move forward in your life. Coaches use powerful questions and tools to help you gain clarity and find your own answers. We also create space for vulnerability and structure so that you feel heard, held accountable, and encouraged to create a life that you love, where you have the Freedom to Flourish.

Coaching is a partnership in which we come alongside you to listen, equip, encourage, support and guide you on a journey of transformation from where you are to where you want to be - and for Christians - also where God wants you to be.  We do this through a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential. 

​

A Life Coach is a trained professional who guides you into increased competence, commitment, and confidence. Coaching is about having someone committed to you on your own journey of transformation so that you can experience the results you desire in your life. You will set forth the hopes, dreams, and goals you wish to achieve during our time together and you will be guided through a series of exercises as well as provided tools, resources, feedback, and accountability that will open the doors for you to partner with God in creating change. 

​

We will assess your current circumstances, paint a vision for the future, and break through obstacles in your life. Together we will develop a strategy that will allow you to live life to the fullest and walk with purpose, so you have the Freedom to Flourish!

Is Life Coaching right for me?

​

Are you excited to create change in your life? Do you want lasting results? Do you desire increased self-confidence, clearer direction, and greater fulfillment in your life? Are you goal oriented? Are you motivated? Are you hard working? Do you believe biblical scripture can change your life? If you answered, "Yes!" to any one of those, then life coaching is for you.

I (Jen) have had a life coach and I have seen professional counselors. There is a time and place for both depending on your goals and what you are working through. What makes life coaching unique is that it is forward thinking. We do not examine and analyze the past. If you are curious then we recommend making an appointment for a free online Create a Life You Love introductory session and let's figure it out together.

How will I know you are the right coach for me?
