First let’s talk about coaching...

• focused on the present & future
• results-based (driven by goals & taking action)
• explores solutions collaboratively with coach & client
• coaches look to ask, “Where would you like to be & how can you get there?”
• process of life coaching takes the client’s current starting point as just that, a starting point, & is more action-based from that point forward
• in order to create action plans to achieve the client's desired results, a coach will also clarify goals, identify obstacles & problematic behaviours  

On the other hand, counselling (also called therapy or psychotherapy)... 

• focuses on past traumas/issues to:
  • change self-destructive habits
  • repair & improve relationships
  • work through painful feelings/trauma
• therapy asks, “How did that make you feel?”
• guides the long term process of resolving past issues & understanding the root of problems with hopes to create a happier, more stable future. 

The decision to get a counsellor/therapist or a coach is a very personal one. 

However a few things to consider to help make your decision could be... 

A life & wellness coach would be able to help you:

• achieve independence, resilience & self-love
• clarify & achieve personal, body and/or career goals
• identify and overcome obstacles & challenges to achieve goals
• gain clarity on your purpose
• achieve a work/life/school balance
• have a leader who can hold you as powerful and capable no matter what
• in every area of your life
• turn healthy habits into behaviours that last

A counsellor/therapist, on the other hand, focuses on:

• working through depression or anxiety that affects your ability to function at home, school or work
• recovering from past traumas
• exploring why past relationships have been destructive
• working through thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself/others
• surviving a parent’s divorce or loss of a loved one

Remember, whether you chose counselling or coaching,one of the most important things is that you feel comfortable with this person & get a “good vibe” as this will make your journey super successful. 

Imagine coaching as similar to a football coach or a basketball coach. 

A good sports coach will keep you focused on your goals, provide supportive feedback, motivate & encourage you when you’re feeling frustrated or stuck & make sure you’re challenged enough from week to week so that success is inevitable for you. 

Similarly, a coach will cheer you on & help you stay motivated, focused, & give you objective feedback to get you closer to accomplishing your goals in less time. Commitment, accountability & follow-through are some of the most valuable components of coaching & a big reason why people who work with a coach make so much more progress than they do on their own. 

Coaching is a series of one-on-one weekly sessions between you & your coach that usually last about 60 minutes each.

These sessions are either on the phone or video chat, whichever you prefer. 

During the first session,

your coach will go over your goals & what you hope to achieve 

through coaching. 

(If you aren't clear on your goals yet, that’s okay. Our coaches are trained to ask you the right questions & actively listen to what you are saying to help you figure that out.)

The primary goal is to give you a clear vision of what you want to achieve, & then help you develop a personalized plan to achieve it. 

During each session,

 your coach will guide you through exercises that will bring you closer to achieving your goals & help you overcome any obstacles or challenges you may be faced with. 

At the end of each session,

 your coach will ask you to commit to completing certain tasks before the next session, which is referred to as action steps. 

These action steps will be specific actions which you & your coach have identified as being the most important things you can possibly do to move closer to your big goals. 

Our programs are customized to each individual 

so it really depends on the person & their unique needs/goals. 

We offer support on many areas like: 

• developing & achieving life & career goals
• weight loss & healthy eating habits
• positive mindset & body image
• increasing energy
• finding your purpose
• creating positive relationships
• increase self confidence...just to name a few. 

It’s really up to you what you want support on!

First of all, you MUST be committed to YOURSELF FIRST and want to change.  Change can be difficult (at first) but if you're committed then ANYTHING is possible!

In terms of commitment to programs, every client jointly signs a commitment contract with their coach.  We set the terms of the commitment contract to fit your individual goals and plans.
