Types of Coaching
Please note that regardless of the coaching category, you do not need to have specific goals in mind to begin your sessions. As your coach I will work alongside you within your sessions to help you realize or create specific goals.
Life coaching can be beneficial for all individuals; even those who do not currently have goals in mind. If you do not have even a broad sense of any particular type of goal that you might like to achieve then life coaching may still be for you! Please see the section titled “General Life Coaching” for more information.
Addictions Coaching
We all have various levels of addictions in our lives. Addictions coaching focuses on overcoming and managing the things that have strongholds in your life. From excessive shopping to more life altering forms of addiction you can be free from the power that these strongholds now have over you. After facing childhood sexual abuse I developed sexual addiction at a very young age. The journey to overcoming this was no walk in the park. I have years of personal and professional experience working with recovering addicts. Addictions coaching is also a great option if you have been through rehab for drug or alcohol addiction, to help you stay on track and increase your probability of success. I am willing to work closely alongside other support systems that you have in place in order to create a network of support and accountability.

Emotional Management Coaching
If you have trouble feeling neutral and are sensing that your emotions may be driving the bus in your life emotional management coaching is for you! This type of coaching helps you learn how to be more in tune with, and work alongside your emotional states in order to have a more balanced life. Overwhelming emotions can sometimes feel as though they are holding you back – especially emotions we tend to see as negative such as anxious thoughts and sadness. This does not need to be the case! You can press forward without allowing these emotions to stop you from attaining your goals.
Education/Career Coaching
Education coaching is designed to help individuals reach their education goals including anything from choosing a career path to learning to manage a busy schedule in order to have time for schoolwork. This type of coaching is very broad in scope and can cover many different types of goals. Goals such as improving grades, deciding whether or not to pursue a particular area of education, learning to create study plans etc. would all fall into this category of coaching. Over the first few sessions you will work with your coach to develop an education plan of action that suits your particular needs.
Life Purpose/Self-Discovery Coaching
Life purpose or Self-discovery coaching is designed to help clients get to know themselves on a deeper level. If your goals pertain to self-growth, understanding your strengths and weaknesses, building character or better understanding your own desires self-discovery coaching may be for you. This type of coaching helps clients identify the heart of who they are and where they would like to go. Designed to help clients identify and achieve dreams and aspirations, self-discovery coaching may help to aid in “unleashing the real you.” Over the first few sessions you will work with your coach to create a plan outlining what areas of yourself you would like to get to know better (some examples include your character, work ethic, dreams etc.).
Christian Life Purpose Coaching
Christian life purpose coaching is designed to help followers of Christ identify how God has shaped and created them in a particular way to fulfill a unique purpose. This can be anything from parenthood to leading a nation (such as in the case of Moses). Life purpose coaching helps clients identify their unique gifting and abilities in order to make the best use of them. To paraphrase Paul, as followers of Christ we want to be able to run our Christian race well and successfully complete the task God has for us. The first step in completing that task is learning to identify what it may be. Life purpose coaching does not end at identifying the task, but may involve the coach continuing to encourage the client from the sidelines as that individual trains and runs that marathon race. The first few sessions of life coaching are unique as it involves looking into certain elements of the clients past - not for therapy sake as coaching is not counselling, but for information sake to explore how they got to where they are today. This looks at how God may have been shaping that individual through life circumstance over the years in order to prepare him or her for the next step to be taken forward from where he or she is today.
Spiritual Development Coaching
If you are longing to deepen your connection with the divine than spiritual development coaching is for you! Exploring your spirituality on a deeper level is often desirable regardless of the particular faith and belief patterns you align with. Spiritual development coaching creates a space that enables you to grapple through the tough questions and learn how to put your beliefs into daily practice. I have worked with followers of various faiths in the past including Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, First Nation’s Spirituality, Judaism, and New Age Spirituality. I am respectful of all belief systems and come to the table with a mindset to learn and grow myself as well!
Christian Spiritual Development Life Coaching

If your goals are related to any element of your faith in the Lord than Christian spiritual development life coaching may be for you. Over the first few sessions you will work with your coach to develop a goal plan of how you would like to grow spiritually.

General Life Coaching
If your goals do not fall into any of the above categories, you are not sure which category your particular goals fall into, or your goals cross multiple categories then general life coaching may be for you. General life coaching looks at the goals of the individual and tailors a unique coaching plan specific to that individual’s combination of goals. Depending on the nature of these goals they may be broken down in such a way that only one goal is approached at a time. Although all coaching is client led, general life coaching offers the most freedom. If you do not know what particular goals you would like to achieve, but sense a longing to move forward in life general life coaching may also be for you. Over the first few sessions you will work with your coach to create goals suitable for your particular circumstance.

Life Coaching Fees and Session Length
Session length depends on the coaching plan you are signed up for. Most coaching plans offer sessions that last up to 120 minuets in length.
Due to the nature of coaching, fee rates are charged per coaching package. Coaching session fees are set based on your coaching plan, regardless of session length. One reason for this is that the creation of client homework requires attention from the coach outside of session hours. Your coaching homework plan will be uniquely tailored to you based on your own individual circumstance.
Each client receives coaching activity pages included in the cost of coaching. These activities will never require additional fees. Some homework plans may include additional resources for clients who are open to purchasing these tools from third party entities. These additional resources remain optional and may include things like books and online assessments.
Depending on the nature of the goals you wish to achieve meetings with your coach may occur weekly or bi-weekly. The frequency of meetings will be discussed when choosing a coaching package. Preferred work pace, desired deadlines for goal achievement, and financial concerns are all considered when deciding between coaching packages.
Coaching packages can be paid for through e-transfer, or online. Over the phone and online coaching requires payment made through e-transfer or online. In person coaching is available in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and can also be paid for through cash or cheque.
