Why Coaching?

What are your goals or desired outcomes from coaching?

More self-confidence, learning to not take things personally, putting in action all the things that I want to do/ goals and dreams instead of just leaving that excitement in my thoughts. I want to lessen my care taker personality. I want to feel less alone. I have depression and anxiety when I’m not on meds - depression is still low lying even on meds.

Have you tried any methods in the past to achieve these goals?

If so, what did you try?

I had psychotherapy with a licensed professional counselor for 4 years in the late 2000’s and I learned a lot from her. I didn’t even know what a boundary was. I went through a cognitive behavioral session with a therapist. I learned a lot and I refer to those tools but it’s not natural. I am on a prescription for the last three years and it has stopped my anxiety but I feel like I don’t care about much anymore. I read a lot of books and follow a lot on Instagram. I forgot to mention that another book I enjoyed was the Wisdom of the Shaman.

Have you worked with a support person before in trying to make these changes?

If so, why do you feel it did not work?

I think I answered that in the previous question.

How committed and motivated are you to stay engaged in the steps needed to reach your desired outcomes?

I am committed. I enjoy learning and growing and mental health is a subject that interests me.

Personal growth can sometimes bring challenges you may have avoided in the past.

Are you ready to face these challenges?

I don’t know what these will be but I imagine that some things would be difficult. As long as I think it would be healthy for me I am willing to try.

When it comes to making changes, how patient are you with yourself?

A lot. I enjoy growing and am happy when I succeed in letting go of behaviour that do not serve me anymore.

What appeals to you most about the type of life coaching I provide?

It’s something that I haven’t tried - the Somatic Experience and look forward to seeing what it’s all about and how I can apply it to my life.

I acknowledge that I’ve had the chance to review this agreement, that I understand what it means, and that I’m choosing to move forward in partnership with these terms.

Life Coaching Terms & Conditions

1. Sessions

Each session is a minimum of 60 minutes and is scheduled at least seven (7) days in advance, when possible.
At the beginning of our work—especially when incorporating somatic processing—some clients may benefit from sessions longer than 60 minutes.
If we determine during a session that additional time would be helpful, we may extend when schedules allow at a pro-rated rate of $ per additional 15 minutes or your package rate.
90-minute or 120-minute sessions are also available from the start if you prefer more time to process and integrate.
For phone sessions, I will call you unless we arrange otherwise.
For Zoom or Google Meet sessions, a link will be shared before the appointment.
If you need an urgent same-day session, you are welcome to reach out to see if this is possible.
Group Coaching sessions expire 4 months from date of purchase.

a. Cancellations

A 24-hour notice is required to cancel a scheduled coaching session.
Missed sessions without sufficient notice will be charged in full.
Your credit card on file will be automatically charged or a deduction will be made from your session package for the missed session.

2. Out-of-Session Communications

If you reach out to me (Gwen) outside of a scheduled session time to discuss your session work, you will be charged for that time.
Minimum charge for this service depends on the life coaching package you have purchased.
Emails, texts, or calls discussing session content are billed at the same rate as session fees.
A minimum charge of 15 minutes applies to any out-of-session communication.

3. Coaching Work Between Sessions

In addition to scheduled sessions, you may receive:
- Pre-work assignments
- Homework exercises
- Assigned readings

The more effort you put into these, the more feedback you will receive and the faster you will progress.

4. Collaboration & Coaching Relationship

This is a collaborative journey:
- Ask questions.
- Challenge my point of view.
- Share resources you’ve found.
- Offer insights and feedback.
- Remember: You are the expert on yourself. I am the facilitator supporting your growth.

5. Commitment

A minimum of a 3-month commitment (6–8 bi-weekly sessions) is recommended.
This allows for meaningful progress, as changing habits and thought patterns takes consistent effort over time.
Depending on your goals, longer-term coaching may be necessary to fully achieve results.

6. Payment

Coaching Packages or Individual Sessions are billed prior to the first session.
Payment methods accepted:
- Website payment portal
- Zelle (preferred)
