FAQs

Two of the forms you’ll find quick and easy: the Agreement and Your Rights and Responsibilities.

One form is your basic information.

The final two are questions to help us get to know you and maybe help you know yourself!

Coaching is currently an unregulated industry; so technically, anyone can call themselves a coach. And sadly, some people do. It’s important to note that all certifications are not equal; some require no more than a few workshops, whereas others are much more intensive. Both Sandy and Tracey have ICF credentialed 180-hour required certifications through the Lark’s Song Coach Training Program.

We both use the co-active coaching method.

“Co-active coaching as a form is a articular way to be in conversation. It offers a unique way to listen, explore, raise awareness, make choices—in fact, take risks—and, always, to build on what was learned along the way to inform the next choice, the next step, and the next learning opportunity.” From “Co-Active Coaching,” by Kimsey-House, H., Kimsey-House, K., Sandahl, P., and Whitworth, L. (2018)

We recommend 12 sessions over six months based on the science of what our brains need to achieve success in making meaningful change. That being said, a 6-session term is often used for shorter term goals and issues.

Part our agreement with you includes ten-minute phone calls and several text exchanges in between sessions with no additional cost to you.

For Sandy, her daughter asked her for advice. “Mom, there’s this coaching program I’m considering.” After hearing about it, Sandy couldn’t stay focused on the conversation because of her excitement about this program - - for HERSELF! ”Mom, you should do this. You already do it. Why not make it official?!” And she did!

For Tracey, it started with Sandy telling her about the program. It took a bit getting over not feeling good enough, smart enough. Yet it’s a perfect fit after dealing with so many limiting beliefs and shining light on shadows. Now it’s what she wants to other women to know as well.

Coaching is not a diagnostic profession. You need a licensed professional to diagnose and treat any medical issue; mental or physical health. A licensed therapist helps you see the things in your past and how they are affecting you. Coaching looks at where you are today and moves you forward.

For the women we serve, we help with loneliness, self-doubt, anxiety, life transition (career, death, divorce), autonomy, living divorced and anorexic marriage, non-violent communication, perimenopause, menopause, loving Jesus outside of organized religion, religious trauma recovery, etc.

After each session, you’ll receive an email documenting what we discussed, what insight you experienced, and what steps you decided to take.

Yes! We believe that sometimes insight to transformation comes in different environments, and so we encourage it if you desire to switch coaches, even for just one session.
