Empowerment without a Price Tag
Uncovering your purpose and potential shouldn't be limited to those who can afford it. Life coaching is for everyone—the single parent who feels overwhelmed; the person who is leaving incarceration and is now writing a new chapter; the person in a later season in life who feels they've lost their spark after retirement. Everyone. Anyone. No matter what. I offer my services based on a pay-it-forward/ pay-what-you-can (or nothing) business model with no shame or agenda attached. Please read more below to understand what life coaching is and how I'll conduct our sessions.

Life Coaching in Dayton, Ohio
Life coaching is the act of empowering someone who feels stuck.​
​
"Stuck" can mean so many different things to each of us. It can mean feeling stuck in our bad habits, old routines, paralyzing fears, negative thoughts, comfortable careers that don't ignite us, or relationships where we don't feel we can be our authentic selves. It can mean we are searching for our purpose in life, wanting to accomplish a goal but feeling overwhelmed and insecure, or it can be as vague as an overall feeling of discontentment and not knowing why.
Life coaching focuses on the present moment, while acknowledging the past. It pairs deep, reflective questioning with daily realistic action for you to become the person you want to be, while also appreciating and embracing who you are. We will walk alongside each other as a team to challenge you to make changes and try new things while discovering what works best for you.
​
Another way to think about it is life coaching looks under your lid to see how you're wired and how your experiences have shaped you, so we can come up with honest answers about who you authentically are and how you want to grow. Working with a life coach helps you to step away from your life, so you can see it objectively and make discoveries you can't see when you're swept up in daily routines, recurring thoughts, or negative narratives about who you are.
​​
If you keep having a feeling that you want to do more with your life, take more risks, deepen your relationships, grow your confidence, or cultivate better daily habits that reflect your values, life coaching could be the key to unlock long-term answers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
What to Expect from Coach Dayton Sessions
I take on only one client at a time, so I can focus solely on you and serving you. I'm not in this to make money—I'm here to serve you and walk alongside you to help you remember or discover your purpose, joy, confidence, and strength.
​
When we work together, I will offer you four sessions. I have found anything fewer than four sessions isn't enough time to uncover the obstacles and make an action plan, and anything more than four sessions allows you to drag your feet and not get to the work. Sometimes we need a fire to our feet to move, so having a deadline of four sessions is the gentle nudge I offer to every client.
​​
Each session is one-hour long and consists of looking closely at all parts of your life, where you feel stuck, and why that matters to you. The first two sessions are usually about unpacking everything, making connections and discoveries, and identifying patterns. The second two sessions lean more on cultivating daily habits that will grow tools that will serve you your entire life.
​
I am a life coach who is very real and direct to ensure our sessions are productive, and you're not just venting or complaining—you'll be taking control of your life and telling me what you see. But the sessions will also be fun. I love to laugh, and I find immense joy connecting with people and helping them see themselves from a new point of view.
​
If you feel you want to make some changes in your life (even if you're not sure of specifics) and are ready to put in the focus, dedication, and work, life coaching might be for you. Please email me to set up a phone call, so we can both decide if we're a good fit for each other. You need to feel comfortable with me, and I need to know you're ready and willing to look at your life and try new things.
​
In some cases, I will coach online, but nothing beats face-to-face interaction. We will meet up in a public space such as a park or quiet meeting room in a Dayton library. My vision is to support the Greater Dayton region through life coaching and have that create a ripple effect into our neighborhoods, schools, and beyond.
