My coaching philosophy and approach blend elements of all three styles, emphasizing intuition and transformation above the rest, as this is how lasting change occurs.

- Gain clarity on your goals and purpose.
- Develop a concrete plan of action.
- Build self-confidence and self-awareness.
- Identify and overcome limiting beliefs and thoughts.
- Develop new habits and improve discipline.
- Increase motivation, productivity, and achieve personal or professional milestones.
A typical coaching session may include:
- Set an objective for the session.
- Set a Goal and clarifying objectives.
- Reviewing progress from previous sessions.(if applicable)
- Discussing challenges, setbacks, and breakthroughs.
- Creating strategies, co-actively.
- Creating an action plan with a clear steps froward.
- Personalized guidance.
- Accountability and motivation to follow through on commitments.
Life coaching is a collaborative process between you, as my client, and your trained coach. Together, we work to achieve your personal and professional goals. I help you identify your strengths, values, weaknesses, and barriers to success, and work with you to develop strategies for overcoming those barriers.
I don’t have that as an option at this time.
Coaching requires consistent attendance in multiple sessions to be effective. While one session can have a significant impact if you understand coaching and approach it with an open and curious mindset, it is essential to apply what you learn in real-life situations.
Some people see results immediately, while others may take some time to notice any changes. If you approach things with skepticism and resistance, it will likely take longer for you to see results. However, if you approach things with an open mind, value your coaching time, view it as important, and are willing to try anything to achieve the life you want, you may see results sooner.
Learning a new skill (breaking a habit, creating a new habit) can be compared to lifting weights. Just like one gym session won't make you strong or an athlete, it takes consistent practice, learning from mistakes, reflecting on the process, and gradually increasing the reps, intensity, and resistance to improve.
For instance, some clients prefer to wait until they feel comfortable to discuss sensitive topics, which could happen in the first session or a few sessions later. Nonetheless, it's essential to understand that one session may not fully represent what coaching is about. Coaching is a joint partnership that demands dedication to personal growth and self-discovery.
You might benefit from a life coach if you:
- Feel stuck or unmotivated in your career or personal life.
- Need help clarifying goals or setting a vision for your future.
- Want support overcoming specific challenges or obstacles.
- Feel overwhelmed, unorganized, or need better time management.
- Seek accountability and guidance to stay on track with your goals.
- Desire to make positive changes but don't know where to start.
Since coaching is an undefined profession, many people call themselves coaches when in fact they are mentors, counselors, consultants, nutritionists, personal trainers or even teachers. Those are admirable roles and serve a distinctly different purpose.
- Do you need help processing or healing something from your past?
- Do you need someone to show you how to build your business?
- Do you need someone to teach you how to do a new skill?
- Do you need someone to help you to get over grief?
- Do you need someone to tell you what workouts to do and what to eat?
If you said yes to any of those three questions, you don't need a coach. You need a counselor, therapist, nutritionist, trainer, a consultant, mentor, or teacher.
Coaching is distinctly different by a few important factors. Coaches hold space for their clients to speak about things that are stopping them from living their life fully now.
I like to think of coaches as thinking partners. Your thoughts are what create your reality, your feelings, and can keep your stuck or propel you forward in life.
Well-trained, skilled, certified ethical coaches (like me) are talented at listening deeply to their clients' stories, beliefs, fears, and easily spotting what's stopping them from having the life they want. Coaches empathetically show their clients what's creating their patterns or habits, then come alongside them and help them by providing support and accountability to move forward victoriously.
- Coaches talk very little, they listen.
- Coaches don’t give information; they ask questions to point to solutions.
- Coaches don’t offer ideas; they generate ideas from clients.
- Coaches don’t present solutions; they expand the client’s thinking.
- Coaches don’t tell you what to do: they have you feeling seen, heard, and important.
- Coaches don’t give recommendations; they empower clients to choose.
- Coaches don’t label or diagnose you; they offer compassion and empathy.
- Coaches don’t see you as broken: they see you as enough and worthy of living your life how you want to live your life.
- Coaches don’t give you a program or protocol; they stick by your side while you navigate doing things differently.
Who’s a good candidate for coaching?
Anyone really. I get weekly coaching, and I am a coach. I am also a certified personal trainer and hire a trainer now and then.
We all struggle in some area of our life, in relationships with other people, in working on a project that is important but other things keep getting in the way, breaking old habits and trying to start a new one, trying to find love, or create a life that you dream of but are feeling stuck. The feedback I get is, "I can talk to you about anything I am wrestling with. I can't talk to my friends or family because they are biased or will judge me."
If you're feeling lost, disconnected, misunderstood, struggling to break a habit/start a new habit, having a hard time figuring out your purpose or meaning in life, experiencing communication conflicts in your relationships, or moving into a new phase of life and feeling unsure how to move forward with making life's decisions, coaching is for you!
Consistency is the key. The space in frequency is subjective to each individuals needs, learning style, and budget.
Optimally every week, same time, and same day. I also see clients get great results in every other week cadence.
Clients report back that having 3 weeks or more between sessions they tend to slip back into old habits, old patterns, old thought processing and lose momentum.
You're in charge of booking your own sessions, you'll purchase a package of 5, 10, or 20 sessions, the clients that get the greatest results book all of them right away, block off the time, show up and put in the work and effort to change.
Everyone's needs and speed is unique to them. Life isn't a race; it's a journey, and the more we embrace that things unfold as they are meant to for ourselves individually, the greater we will appreciate how it falls into place. Asking how fast it will happen almost means you want to fight gravity.
It will take time, consistency, and, more importantly, a deep desire to experience this life differently. I have seen people flip a switch super quickly (in as little as a few sessions, completely change their life) and others that wallow in self-pity and continue to live through old wounds, fight, resist change, debate, justify and almost argue to keep their old habits of thought/actions this will take months to years to change. The more open, curious, and excited you are to create a happier, more fulfilling life and put the work into yourself, the better, the faster and more successful you will be.
It depends on your package. All basic packages offer pure phone coaching to keep costs down, and address any issues with dropped connectivity or technical issues to a minimum.
VIP or custom packages will likely have a blend of phone, zoom/other video sessions and in-person sessions.
When I begin working with clients, I often find that they are trapped in a narrative or belief that may be holding them back. Through ongoing support, coaching sessions, and self-reflection, we are able to delve into their thoughts and beliefs, ultimately resolving many barriers and perceived challenges. By gaining a deeper understanding of how the mind, thoughts, and consciousness impact their experiences, clients are able to make significant progress in their personal growth and development.
Briefly..
Therapy and counseling will go into your past, heal, repair, unlock, and unpack old hurts, wounds, and traumas.
A therapist is a professional who can provide support and guidance when you find yourself struggling to take the first steps towards the life you desire. Maybe you're not able to function at a basic level and have trouble getting out of bed, or feeling in deep despair or suffering from a trauma or struggling with grief. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed and finding it difficult to even get out of bed in the morning or simply unsure of how to begin making positive changes, a therapist can help you uncover past traumas, events, and help with medications or therapies that will aid in recovery. I work with a wide range of clients who benefit from having both myself and a therapist on their team. It is important to consider waiting to hire a coach until you are in a place where you feel ready to take on new challenges and move forward towards new experiences. Having the energy and motivation to try new things is crucial in order to fully benefit from coaching and make the most out of the experience. It is important to prioritize self-care and ensure that you are in the right mindset before taking on additional support in your personal growth journey.
Coaching is seeing you as a whole unique person with life experiences. Certainly you view the world through lens that are made up of all your life's experiences. What a coach does is helps you move forward powerfully, build and create ways to cope, navigate and move forward with strength, confidence, peace and a sense of control.
So coaching is more about NOW and moving forward towards your goals or how you want to experience life. Often seeing a new perspective, changing thoughts, and becoming more aware conscious. Helping you spend more time in a positive emotion than a negative emotion.
A coach will clear the debris that appears to be in your current way (old habits and old conditioning) so you can see your way to your destination (goal, or what you want in your life). A coach is someone who is along on the journey with you, helping you as you navigate through change that is often viewed as difficult, hard, and challenging. They are there by your side, accompanying you, encouraging you, and keeping you on your two feet, kind of like a guide helping you reach your greatest potential and helping you move forward. This may be a number on the scale, or a number on a paycheck, finding a life partner, or any other achievements or sense of happiness.
Depending on the package you choose. Basic packages are pay in full only.
VIP programs typically range from 6 to 12 months in duration. With these programs, there is often a payment option available that allows you to spread out the cost over time, although this may come with an additional fee. This payment flexibility can make it easier to budget for the program and access exclusive benefits and perks that come with being a VIP member.
Custom business proposals is a highly tailored process that takes into account the unique needs and objectives of each specific situation, these are usually created on a monthly or quarterly basis.
To maintain low rates, it requires to keep a lean overhead and in person isn't an option for basic packages.
VIP and business proposals are custom and unique to offer a wide range of creative and personalized features and benefits. These proposals are tailored specifically to meet the needs and preferences of each individual client, ensuring that their unique vision and goals are reflected in every aspect of the proposal. In addition to traditional business proposals, VIP proposals may include exclusive events, luxurious retreats, engaging workshops, informative lunch-n-learns, and much more. These added elements not only set the proposal apart from standard offerings, but also provide added value and a memorable experience for the recipient. The goal of these proposals is to not only convey important information and details, but to also leave a lasting impression and create a sense of excitement and anticipation for what is to come.
Life coaching is a powerful process that supports individuals in transforming their mindset, beliefs, and actions, allowing them to experience life in a profoundly different way and reach their goals. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of how life coaching combined with thought work, belief work, and goal achievement is so powerful:
1. Thought Work: Shifting Mindsets and Perspectives
-
Understanding the Power of Thoughts: Life coaching emphasizes that your thoughts significantly impact your feelings, actions, and outcomes. Thought work involves examining your habitual thought patterns, identifying limiting or negative beliefs, and understanding how these thoughts shape your reality.
-
Reframing and Challenging Negative Thoughts: As your life coach, I help you become aware of self-limiting thoughts and teach you techniques to reframe or challenge them. This shift in perspective allows you to replace unproductive thinking with empowering, positive, and constructive thoughts.
-
Cultivating a Growth Mindset: I guide clients toward developing a growth mindset, where challenges are seen as opportunities to learn and grow, rather than as obstacles. This change in mindset encourages resilience, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace new opportunities.
2. Belief Work: Transforming Core Beliefs and Values
-
Identifying Limiting Beliefs: Many people are held back by deep-seated beliefs that they may not even be fully aware of, such as "I'm not good enough" or "Success is only for others." As your life coach I work with you closely to uncover these (or other) limiting beliefs that block progress.
-
Replacing Limiting Beliefs with Empowering Ones: Once we identify your limiting beliefs, I help you shift these limiting beliefs to empowering ones. For example, "I’m not good enough" can be transformed into "I am capable of achieving my goals." This shift can lead to profound changes in behavior, motivation, and self-confidence. Now, this isn't chanting or affirmations; these may work for a day or two. I support you in lasting change by rewiring your old programming or thoughts to new ones and training your brain to work for you rather than against you. So, it's much deeper than just reframing; that's why it takes time, commitment, and weekly sessions to check in and see what's working, what's not working, and make adjustments.
-
Aligning Beliefs with Goals: I also help my clients ensure that their core values and beliefs align with their desired goals. If there's a misalignment (e.g., someone wants to achieve financial success but believes that money is inherently "bad"), as your coach, I will support you in reconciling these differences, creating harmony between beliefs and aspirations.
3. Goal Setting and Achievement: Moving from Vision to Reality
-
Clarifying Goals: As your life coach, I am committed to guiding and empowering you to delve deep into your desires and aspirations, to truly understand what it is that you want to achieve in life. I assist you in painting a vivid and detailed picture of your dreams, helping you to visualize what success means to you and what it looks like in your mind. Together, we work towards turning these visions into reality, taking actionable steps and creating a roadmap towards your goals. My role is to provide support, encouragement, and accountability as you embark on this transformative journey towards self-discovery and personal growth. This often involves moving from vague desires ("I want to be successful") to specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals ("I want to increase my annual income by 20% within the next 12 months").
-
Creating Actionable Plans: Coaching involves breaking down larger goals into manageable steps. I work closely alongside my clients to create strategic plans, outline specific actions, and set timelines to make progress toward their goals realistic and achievable. This is where being a VIP comes into play; having a dedicated time each week to check in ensures you're staying on track, and if not, time is dedicated to making adjustments.
-
Accountability and Motivation:I hold my VIP clients accountable, providing encouragement and support throughout the journey. Regular weekly check-ins ensure that individuals stay on track, adjust their plans as needed, and remain motivated to pursue their goals, even when facing challenges.
4. Experiencing Life Differently: Living with Intention and Purpose
-
Cultivating Self-Awareness: Life Coaching increases your self-awareness, allowing you to recognize patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This awareness is the first step toward making intentional changes and taking control of your life.
-
Living Authentically: I encourage my clients to live authentically, embracing who you truly are rather than conforming to societal expectations or past conditioning. This leads to more genuine, purposeful, fulfilling experiences and relationships.
-
Increasing Confidence and Empowerment: As individuals see their mindset shift and limiting beliefs dissolve, they often experience increased confidence and a greater sense of empowerment. This newfound confidence allows them to take bolder actions and pursue opportunities they may have previously avoided.
-
Developing Emotional Intelligence: Life coaching often involves building emotional intelligence, which includes understanding and managing emotions, developing empathy, learning healthy communication skills, and improving interpersonal skills. These changes enhance relationships and communication, contributing to a richer life experience.
5. Smashing Goals: Turning Ambition into Achievement
-
Overcoming Obstacles and Resistance: I work with my clients to overcome obstacles and internal resistance that may arise during the pursuit of their goals. This involves identifying triggers, creating strategies to manage setbacks, and maintaining a forward-focused mindset.
-
Celebrating Milestones and Successes: I encourage and emphasize celebrating progress, no matter how small. This positive reinforcement boosts morale, keeps motivation high, and reinforces the belief that achieving goals is possible.
-
Maintaining Momentum for Long-Term Success:As your life coach, I support my clients in not only reaching their immediate goals but also in maintaining the habits, mindset, and belief systems that ensure long-term success. This focus on sustainability ensures that the transformation is not just a short-term change but a lasting lifestyle shift.
Summary: Why Life Coaching Works
Life coaching is about guiding individuals from where they are to where they want to be by shifting how they think, what they believe, and how they act. It’s a supportive, collaborative process that:
-
Empowers individuals to overcome mental blocks.
-
Clarifies goals and provides a step-by-step path to achieve them.
-
Cultivates a mindset that sees challenges as opportunities.
-
Builds resilience and the ability to manage setbacks effectively.
-
Creates a deeper connection with oneself and one's purpose, leading to a more fulfilling and intentional life.
By engaging in thought work and belief work, individuals experience life in a whole new way, and with the ongoing support of a life coach, they can smash their goals and create the life they’ve always desired.
Homework can mean different things to different people. Some may see it as a necessary evil, while others view it as a valuable learning tool. Your perception of homework can greatly impact your willingness to seek out coaching. If you have a negative association with the term "homework," it's understandable that you may be hesitant to engage in activities that require additional work outside of your normal routine. However, it's important to remember that coaching is designed to help you grow and improve, and sometimes that may involve tasks that feel like homework. Embracing the process and recognizing the potential benefits can ultimately lead to a more positive and fulfilling experience.
Coaching is NOT about getting more information. If you're wanting more information, you have access to that on your phone, and if you're reading this, how is that serving you? You don't need more information, you need more courage. I know how to access your inner courage and I will be your biggest advocate. (that's what you really need)
Coaching is a transformative process that empowers you to unlock your full potential and achieve your goals.
It involves a dynamic partnership between me your coach and you, where I provide support, guidance, and accountability to help you navigate through challenges and obstacles. By tapping into your existing resources and strengths, you can discover new ways to overcome limitations and reach new heights of success.
Through the coaching process, you are able to gain clarity on your values, priorities, and aspirations, and develop a strategic plan to turn your dreams into reality.
I help you to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals, and provide you with the tools and techniques needed to stay on track and make progress towards your objectives.
By focusing on both the present moment and the future possibilities, coaching enables you to create a roadmap for personal and professional fulfillment.
In today's fast-paced and demanding world, coaching serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of work, family, and personal life. (balancing all the responsibilities and waking up each day excited to experience what the day has ahead of you)
By fostering a growth mindset and promoting resilience, coaching equips you with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in the face of challenges and setbacks.
Through ongoing support and encouragement, I help you to cultivate a positive attitude, build self-confidence, and develop effective strategies for managing stress and uncertainty.
Ultimately, coaching is not just about achieving specific goals or overcoming obstacles; it is about empowering you to live a life of purpose, passion, and fulfillment.(in other words I aim to help you develop strong skills vs becoming dependent on me(doesn't serve you), in other words I teach you how to fish rather than give you a fish)
By experiencing the power of coaching, you can unlock your true potential, unleash your creativity, and create the life you truly desire.
Coaching is a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation, and it has the potential to bring about profound and lasting change in the lives of those who embrace it.
Coaching is a distinct practice that stands apart from counseling, mentoring, and therapy. While these other modalities delve into the past, addressing old wounds and unpacking previous experiences, coaching takes a different approach. Instead of analyzing what has already occurred, coaching concentrates on the present and the future, aiming to empower individuals who are eager to make significant strides in their lives.
When many people think of a "coach," they may envision someone who resembles a nagging parent or a strict physical education teacher from their past. However, a life coach is not synonymous with these stereotypes. A life coach is a skilled professional who assists individuals in setting and accomplishing personal and professional goals, providing them with the necessary support and guidance. Serving as a collaborative partner, a life coach helps individuals tap into their full potential and lead their lives to the fullest.
One of the key aspects of coaching is its focus on enhancing a person's mental, emotional, and physical capabilities. By working with a coach, individuals can unlock hidden potential and optimize their overall well-being. Coaching is a powerful tool for personal growth and development, offering a unique approach to achieving success and fulfillment in various aspects of life.

Answer: Yes, coaching sessions are typically confidential. As a reputable life coach I will honor your privacy and keep all discussions private unless there's a legal obligation to disclose certain information. My agreement with all my clients is sessions are confidential unless you're intending to harm yourself or someone else.
In addition to the confidentiality clause mentioned, there may be another scenario where confidentiality would be treated differently. This could occur if the agreement specifies that I am required to provide regular updates to your employer, in which case this obligation would also be clearly outlined in our contract. This additional provision would further ensure that all parties involved understand and agree to the terms regarding the handling of confidential information.
(VIP clients)If you have requested for sessions to be recorded, it is important that you take responsibility for keeping these recordings in a secure and confidential location. It should be noted that I do not record or keep notes or records as a precaution to prevent any potential legal subpoenas. Your privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to me, and I strive to ensure that your information is protected at all times.

Additional Tips
- Come to each session prepared with one topic to work on. (have it in the form of a question)
- When asked questions in the session, take your time to think out your responses. Speak freely. You don't have to have the right words or say the right thing.
- Think of coaching as learning to play a musical instrument or becoming a professional athlete; it takes time, consistency, and practice.
- Have an ongoing list of things you'd like coaching on. (Goals, habits, barriers, challenges)
- Be open-minded, teachable, curious, and seek to understand.
- Driving a car is very different than someone telling you how to drive a car. Be willing to apply one principle in your real life after each session.
- At the end of each session, reflect on what you learned. (I email notes)
- Stay consistent with your sessions, booking them in advance; common is weekly or bi-weekly.(what your budget can handle)
- Focus on one priority each session, continue working on one topic, and progress to the next.
- Set a realistic goal to work on one at a time.
- To be clear I don't fix you, I show you how to fix yourself.
- Be teachable, willing to learn, try, and reflect.
- Look to gain ONE insight each session, put it into practice, test it out, and reflect on how it went between sessions (email or chat).
- Be patient. One coaching session is never enough. It takes consistency, trusting the process, and bringing up any resistance in your next session (or email or chat).
- Come to each session fully open without distraction and listen with a learning mindset. We can't think and listen at the same time.
- Be willing to be vulnerable, and apply what you learn in real life.
- Ultimately creating a healthy lifestyle, mindset, habits, routines, and responses are perishable.
- Coaching is like building muscle; it requires consistency, increased progression, and someone to help you see your blind spots.
- Coaching means keeping your skills sharp, expanding your consciousness, awareness, and Understanding, and elevating your life experience.
- Memorization comes without Understanding. Coaching is not learned at an intellectual level. So there's no memorization, no exam to pass, and it's the application in your own life. You'll get one takeaway in each session(if you are open to it), apply it to your life, see it unfold, and reflect on what you saw via email.
- Change is "simple"; I didn't say "easy." Any change is a long game, not a "quick fix."
- Run and idea by someone else unattached to my life to help get a broader perspective on the issue, challenge, or goal.
- Coaching won’t suddenly make you better like some pill you can take and instantly change yourself; it influences how you grow, learn, experience life, it is like using higher-quality soil for a plant. Give it time and work on it.
It takes time to view and navigate life differently - the more you practice it, the more it will become automatic.
- Relationships of all kinds (love, friendships, relatives, work relationships)
- Mindset
- Improved Health & Weight loss
- Productivity
- Time management
- Improved Communication
- Increased confidence
- Goal setting
- Problem-solving
- Overcoming obstacles/barriers (overthinking, sabotage, habits, etc)

Letting go is hard, but holding on is harder

“I took a risk and found Katherine online. It was late at night and there were some big worries I had that were bothering me.
One thing that impressed me about Katherine right away was that she seemed to really want to coach and it wasn't about the money for her. I could tell instantly that she has a "servant-heart." Katherine is a healer. She is an amazing listener and has the skill to separate the "issue" from the person. Meaning, no matter what I bring up, there is zero judgement and then excellent tools to recreate my thoughts and my life.
I love her!"
