Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is text-based coaching?
Text-based coaching is a written, real-time exchange during a scheduled window. Instead of meeting by phone or video, we communicate in writing — allowing for reflection, pacing, and depth without pressure. It’s ideal for seekers, creatives, neurodivergent individuals, or anyone who prefers thoughtful dialogue over quick conversation.
2. How does a session actually work?
You choose a session length and time that fits your needs. During that window, I’ll be fully present and engaged in our written exchange. You can share, reflect, pause, or ask questions — and I’ll respond in real-time. Sessions ebb and flow naturally. For longer formats, I may suggest breaks or reflective pauses.
3. What do I need to prepare before a session?
Nothing formal — just a willingness to be present. You’re welcome to reflect on what’s currently alive for you, but you don’t need a polished goal or agenda.
4. What if I don’t respond for a while during the session?
That’s completely fine. These sessions are built for spaciousness. You can pause, reflect, or step away — I’ll be present throughout your scheduled window. There’s no pressure to perform.
5. Do you offer therapy, diagnosis, or crisis support?
No. This is not therapy, and I’m not a licensed mental health provider. If you’re in crisis or need clinical support, please visit the Resources page for referral links.
6. What are your qualifications?
I’m not a licensed therapist, but I bring deep lived experience, training in coaching and integration, and a grounded spiritual perspective. My background includes personal development, contemplative practice, and transformational work. You can learn more on the About page.
7. Can I book multiple sessions or buy a bundle?
Yes. You can book individual sessions or purchase bundles for savings and deeper work. All sessions must be used within 3 months of purchase.
8. What’s included in the 3-hour session that’s not in the shorter one?
The 3-hour session includes a post-session written summary and integration plan sent within 24 hours. It provides more room to explore and unfold.
9. Can I sign up for ongoing support?
Yes. I offer monthly memberships with weekly reflection prompts, asynchronous check-ins, and one live session per month. It’s ideal for steady, intentional growth.
10. What’s your refund or cancellation policy?
Sessions are non-refundable once they begin. You can reschedule or cancel up to 24 hours in advance. No-shows or late cancellations are forfeited. If something serious arises, please reach out — I aim to be fair and human.
11. How do I get in touch or ask questions before booking?
Use the Contact page to reach out anytime. I’m happy to answer questions or help you decide if this is a good fit.
12. Is this confidential?
Yes. Everything you share is confidential unless there’s an immediate risk of harm — in which case I may refer you to the appropriate resources.
13. How is coaching different from therapy or consulting?
Coaching is forward-facing and collaborative. Unlike therapy, it doesn’t diagnose or treat. Unlike consulting, I don’t offer one-size-fits-all advice. I help you access your own clarity through reflection and presence.
14. How do I know if this is right for me?
If you’re going through a transition, feeling spiritually unsettled, or want grounded support without pressure — this may be right for you. Especially if you’re reflective, neurodivergent, or craving depth.
15. Can we talk outside the scheduled sessions?
Not for one-off or bundle clients. Ongoing support is included in the monthly memberships through asynchronous weekly threads. If you want more regular check-ins, we can discuss options.
16. Do I need to commit to a long-term plan?
No. You can book once, try a bundle, or join for a month. There’s no contract — you’re in control of the pace and depth of the work.
17. What if I’m not good at expressing myself in writing?
You don’t need to be. There’s no perfect way to show up. I’ll meet you where you are — whether you write in long streams or quiet pauses. Writing often unlocks clarity that can’t surface in real-time conversation.
18. Do you work with couples or groups?
Currently, I only offer one-on-one sessions. Small group or integration offerings may be available in the future — reach out if you’d like to be notified.
19. Can I gift a session to someone else?
Yes — but please make sure they want it. I can create a custom booking link if you’d like to gift a session, as long as the recipient is open and willing to engage.
20. Do you offer live video or phone sessions?
No. This practice is intentionally text-only. It allows for reflection and deeper presence, without the pressure or fatigue of live video. If you’re looking for face-to-face work, I’d be happy to refer you to others.
