Services

My coaching provides a connection with people that empowers them to discover their own answers, whether the service is individual or group coaching or wellness consulting. I am maintaining my own well being after a cancer experience in 1991 and into the future by shifting from “knowing” about staying well to “being” well.

Individual Coaching for Well-being Suc

The foundation of the coaching services I provide is the recognition of a core belief in you, my client ~ in your brilliance, your energy and your ability to create your own life solutions. I serve only as a facilitator of your process by listening to your wants and needs, and maintaining an awareness of your intensions for change in between sessions. I support your agenda and scribe for you during sessions. I experience success when you experience empowerment, confidence and excitement about your new life options, while achieving a feeling of aliveness in every aspect of your life. 

• What occurs in individual coaching with me is the creation of a long-term confidential, supportive relationship between me, the coach, and you, the client. This relationship is an empowering partnership that allows me to assist you in creating what you want in all areas of your life. 
• With my clients, I establish and maintain a consistent level of contact with conversations several times a month, or as mutually agreed upon to achieve the results desired. Our communication is multifaceted and may be in person, by phone, email or other written forms.  Coaching is totally focused on your agenda for the sessions. Session length is usually 1 hour and may vary according to what is wanted and needed at the time.
• My coaching involves initial assessments that assist you to identify areas of your life where you want change. I ask for full disclosure from you and your commitment to working on yourself outside of our sessions.
• After the initial assessment, we create MAPS (multiple action plans) to facilitate success in changing habits and creating your wants. Through my coaching model, I provide support for your accountability to yourself for your action plans.
• I hold all communication that occurs in coaching sessions in respectful confidentiality.

Fees for Individuals ~ The initial 60-90 minute introductory session is offered at a discounted fee of $50.  The fee for contracted coaching services is individualized and established in a coaching agreement following the initial session. This is a monthly retainer fee for all services and is paid in advance monthly, quarterly or annually. 
 

Small Group (2 or more) Coaching for Total Well-being/Life Success

Using the same foundation in group coaching as I use in individual coaching, I enjoy creating the added dimension of “community” to provide the possibility for multiple layers of support and encouragement for change.

• What occurs in small group coaching with me is the creation of a community of support to assist the participants in creating what they want in all areas of their lives.  Group size varies from 2 to 8 participants and may be larger. Couples who want to coach together may participate as a single couple or in a group of couples.
• There is group commitment to confidentiality and the coaching that occurs individually in the presence of the group creates the possibility of benefit for each participant. The focus is on what each individual wants to gain from that particular session. My experience is that there are no accidents in who joins a particular group and the community that is built is a long-term support structure. 
• Buddy connections are created for communication and support between sessions.
• Group sessions may repeat weekly, bi-weekly or monthly and communication methods include meeting in person, tele-conferencing on a secured line, and email contacts.  Session length is usually 1-2 hours.
• My coaching involves initial assessments that assist each participant to identify areas of their lives where they want change.  I ask for full disclosure and participant agreement to work outside of our sessions.
• Common themes may be present among members of the group (examples: career success, weight loss, relationship-building, etc.)
• MAPS (multiple action plans) are created to facilitate success in changing habits and creating wants. Support for participant accountability is provided by me and the group members.
• I welcome opportunities to work with employers to create customized coaching for employee groups.

Fees for Group Coaching ~ Determined based on the size of the group and frequency of sessions. Fees are set at the introductory session and agreed upon by the members and coach.

Fees for Employee Groups ~ Based on the customized program and established in a contractual arrangement between the employer and the coach. 
 

Courses in Total Well-being

• I offer a basic course focused on the core components of 12 dimensions of wellness and 12 strategies of success for creating change. Courses can also be customized according to a group’s requests.
• Participants assess their own 12 Dimensions of Wellness at the beginning and the end of the course using the Wellness Inventory, an online wellness survey instrument at www.MyWellnessTest.com
• Each wellness dimension is explored and participants share their discoveries.
  
• Participants explore and utilize 12 Success Strategies to facilitate the creation of what they want in all areas of their lives.
• Course format may be small or large groups working together on site, by tele-conference and/or on-line.

Fees for Courses ~ Based on the length of the courses which can range from 12 to 36 hours over a 3 to 4-month time frame or as weekend intensives. 
 

Wellness Consulting for Individuals and Small Groups with Common Interests

My consulting services focus on providing information and tools for managing stress, maintaining a healthy life style and enhancing total well being. “Consulting” differs from coaching in that suggestions, advice and my personal experience with maintaining well being after cancer are all shared as client(s) needs and desires indicate. I may provide consulting services only to a client or in conjunction with coaching after receiving permission from the client and acknowledging that I am wearing the “consulting” hat.

• My model for the consulting is a prevention/wellness model rather than a disease-focused model and includes assisting individuals and groups to assess their total person for wellness behaviors.
• I assist individuals and groups to create personal wellness plans to support changing habits and foster their total well-being.
• I consult with agencies and corporations to design and present customized wellness programs that support their employees in being well.
• I teach clients and groups a system of movement for stress management that is helpful for dealing with a variety of stress indicators including lack of focus, concentration and memory; anxiety; sleep issues; physical symptoms and others.
• I recommend complimentary/alternative therapies that I have personally experienced in my own wellness maintenance program.
• I provide information on non-toxic personal products, nutritionals, essential oil aromatherapy and sleep/water/air systems that support health and well being.

Fees for Individuals ~ The initial 60-90 minute introductory session is offered at a discounted fee of $50. The fee for contracted coaching services is individualized and established in a coaching agreement following the initial session. This is a monthly retainer fee for all services and is paid in advance monthly, quarterly or annually.

Mini Presentations on Total Well-being

I provide Wellness Presentations for agency, community, civic and corporate groups which are customized according to the group’s requests and which incorporate the above services outlined under Wellness Consulting. These may vary from a 1-hour lunch and learn format to a full day wellness presentation.

Fees for Mini Presentations ~ $200 per hour presentation for short presentations (includes preparation, travel and handouts). Half to full-day presentations are negotiated at a lower rate. 
 

Professional Networking

I welcome opportunities to partner with other holistic professionals both to provide individual coaching for them and/or for clients they may refer to me for coaching.  I often refer clients to other providers as appropriate for their wellness action plan.

Fees for Professional Networking ~ Currently, I enjoy a professional network with mutual referral opportunities and no associated referral fee. CREATE TOTAL WELL BEING!
