• Life/relationship coaching can be considered a form of consulting, however consulting is usually information and expertise based. For instance, you might hire a consultant to help your business with a specific problem, and you’d expect your consultant to have knowledge and experience in that specific area. Life coaches on the other hand may or may not have a background or experience in your field. A life/relationship coach is a life specialist, an expert in helping you develop all areas of your business and/or personal life. While many consultants typically propose a solution and leave you to implement it, your life/relationship coach stays with you to help you implement the changes, new skills, and goals to make sure they really happen.This is one of the many reasons why life coaching is so powerful; knowledge and insight alone is usually not enough to change, you need an expert to help you turn that knowledge into wisdom that transforms who you are fundamentally.
• Life/relationship coaching is not therapy. Life coaches don’t typically work on past issues or trauma. Life coaches are not psychologists or psychotherapists; we focus more on creating a better future than dwelling on the past. If you start coaching with us and have not resolved an issue from the past, then we may refer you to work with a therapist to resolve the issue. It is very common for unresolved traumas or addictions to stop us from getting what we want in our lives. Life coaches focus on the present and your goals for the future. We help people move forward and set personal and professional goals that will give them the life and relationships they really want. Most of our coaching clients are healthy, successful women who might be a bit stuck or simply want to make a big change in their lives and want the support of a coach to do so.
• Life coaching often includes principles from sports coaching, such as showing up fully, challenging your limitations, working with a team, going for the goal. But unlike sports coaching, most life/relationship coaching is not a competition. Your own Certified Life/Relationship Coach will help you compete against who you were yesterday!
• A best friend is great to have, but your best friend is probably not an objective professional who you can trust to advise you on the most important aspects of your life and relationships. Sometimes, our friends can’t tell us the truth, as much as they would like to, because they don’t want to risk damaging the friendship. A good life/relationship coach is never afraid to tell you the truth because they have the best interests of your personal growth in mind.

Very simply, if you are not where you want to be in life, then there is room for a bit of life coaching. You no longer have to struggle on your own when you can accelerate your progress with the guidance, support, and tools of a skilled life/relationship coach.
