How many appointments will it take to see results?

• Acute conditions generally resolve in 4-6 sessions; pain-related complaints typically yield immediate reduction of pain within 1-2 sessions.
• Chronic conditions, including auto-immune diseases, hormone imbalance, and complex fertility cases, typically require several months of treatment to reach homeostasis, but clients report improvements in sleep, energy, mood, and quality of life early on in the treatment process.

How frequently should I come in for treatment?

• Acute cases such as sprains, strains, and injuries, respond best to more frequent treatment: 1-3 times per week for 1-4 weeks.
• Chronic conditions may respond better to more frequent treatment up front, then spacing once the current flare-up/symptoms are under control: 1 time per week for 3-4 weeks, then 1-2 times per month as needed.

How is coaching different than therapy?

• Coaching does not replace therapy; on the contrary, it can be helpful to undergo a series of coaching while in therapy. Therapy often supports clients in understanding more about themselves and to better understand how their past is affecting the present time.
• Coaching is about helping you develop plans and build motivation to succeed in achieving your goals.
• Therapists often have master’s and doctorate degrees allowing them ample education and training to support you with clinical diagnoses and also have training to help you through traumatic experiences.
• Coaches have an entry level of certificate education that is primarily focused on helping you to progress forward without lens for understanding mental health factors and past traumatic experiences.

What can I expect from a coaching session?

• Coaching can be offered as a one-time session or as a series of sessions to help you through various life challenges.
• You can expect to communicate with your coach before the initial session through written communication, prompts, and maybe even assessments to help your coach better understand your needs and goals.
• The session itself may be scheduled for 1-hr or 30-min.
• After the session, you can expect an additional 2-30 min of your time needed to organize your thoughts, make notes, and record your insights from the session.
