ABOUT THE COACHING PROCESS
“Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be. Coaches recognize that results are a matter of the client’s intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach’s efforts and application of the coaching process.” (Quotation from The International Coach Federation.)
As a Certified Divorce Coach, it is my duty to protect the confidentiality of the communications with my clients, including coaching clients, but there are limitations to confidentiality if sessions are not conducted in-office. Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed if sessions are conducted via phone or online. Clients should use their own discretion when utilizing these options.

TERMINATION OF COACHING AND REFUND POLICY
The length of your coaching and the timing depend on the specifics of your goals and the progress you achieve.

Either the coach or client may discontinue coaching at any time, but refunds on packages will not be given.
