Frequently Asked Questions

What is coaching?

Coaching is a facilitation process where the coach works with the client on defining and achieving their goals. This can be on an individual basis, in groups, or with existing teams. Coaching is not therapy and we do not focus on healing your past. At times we may discuss past events through the process of our discovery as we work through the present and the path to the future, but the goal is not to heal past traumas. We work in the present and future visioning. I serve as a catalyst for change in the lives of my clients with recognition that my clients are whole and resourceful individuals. I partner with you on your journey or self discovery, building on your strengths to support you in your challenges. I see my clients as the experts in their lives and I support their goals in their life journey. I follow the ICF Core Competencies and Ethics through my coaching practice.

What is Holistic coaching?

Holistic coaching considers the whole person - mind, body and spirit, seeing all parts of the person as integrated. We do not isolate our focus but rather consider each part within the picture of the whole. 

What is the difference between team and group coaching?

Teams have commonalities that connect them through existing relationships. For example, through work you are likely part of a team where you share a common purpose and have relationships with your team members which bring you together as a team. Groups may or may not have prior relationships but may benefit from coaching in a group based environment as this can support the individual's reflection and development through listening and learning from the experiences of others.
