Frequently Asked Questions
What is Masterpiece life-coaching?
Coaching is a partnership in which I will listen, pose questions, encourage, strategize, empower and dream alongside you. You will set forth the content you desire to process and journey through during our conversations and I will guide you through a process of reflection and discovery that will open new doors for you to partner with God in living further aligned to your God-given design. We will assess your current circumstances, consider what vision God has for your future, and breakthrough obstacles keeping you from moving forward. Together we will carefully craft the tailor-fit rhythm that fits you to live life to the fullest and walk with purpose.
Is coaching right for me?
Do you desire to deepen your understanding of how God designed you and placed you right where you are so you can experience the joy, freedom and impact of living aligned to your God-given design? Do you want to further grow and develop your God-given design so you can live with steadfast purpose? Are you willing to give yourself time and space to reflect on currently known AND unknown areas of your heart and life in deeper ways as never before? If so, then life coaching is for you.

Is coaching therapy?
No. Although many of the communication techniques are the same, like active listening, reflecting, use of questions, limited advice giving, etc., therapy focuses on the past to bring healing and unblock a person to move ahead. Coaching is future and foward-oriented, for people who are basically clear of psychological and emotional issues or desire the support of a professional life-coach to work alongside their doctor/psychologist appointments.

How does coaching work?
Life coaching happens through a series of conversations that can take place in a variety of ways. We can meet via phone, Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, or in person. After our session, you will leave with personally identified, tailor-fit next steps you commit to accomplish before our next session.
What time can we meet?
I live in South Carolina and I am in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. I can meet with you in the morning or afternoon and on limited occasions I can make the evenings available. I have an online scheduler that you can use to schedule your sessions with me on days/times that work best for you. You can view my online scheduler here.
How often are our sessions?
Normally, the coaching sessions are spaced out every 2 weeks. However, you, as the client, are able to schedule your sessions as frequently as you prefer. Together we consider the length you desire your coaching journey series to be and by when the total number of sessions need to be completed. There are no refunds for unused or missed sessions.

There are various package options to fit your time and financial needs. The more sessions you purchase the greater accountability you receive. Unless determined otherwise, your payment is due, in full, on or before our first session. You may pay by cash, check, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal. On special occasions, I do offer payment plans. Please let me know if that is something you need to discuss. I want to do all that I can to provide this for you and honor your desire to invest in this powerful and transformational journey.
Why Choose an ICF Credentialed Coach?
Anyone can call themselves a coach. ICF Credentialed Coaches are professional coaches who have met stringent education and experience requirements, and have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the coaching competencies that set the standard in the profession.
​
I presently hold an PCC ICF coaching credential, the second highest ICF credential, with plans to continue the coaching training to receive the Master Coach credential.
In addition, ICF Credentialed Coaches adhere to strict ethical guidelines as part of ICF’s mission to protect and serve coaching consumers. Read more about ICF here.
