Popular Coaching Packages

Coaching packages provide ongoing support to tackle challenges as they arise and find solutions that stick.

Benefits of coaching packages include email support between sessions, automated rescheduling/cancellations, monthly payment plans (for self-funders) and the option to cancel at any time and receive a refund for remaining sessions.

My most popular coaching packages reflect how most clients work with me; starting with frequent sessions to make an early impact and build momentum, then easing off over time to find a sustainable rhythm.

Most clients extend their initial support with a further block of monthly sessions to provide long-term support.
