Coaching is not a healthcare service and does not provide clinical care. Coaching helps guide you to find the answers to the issues you face in your own life by helping you discover the tools you need to be successful that are not in the healthcare arena.
We start with one session to identify your goals and develop a plan from that session. Every person is unique so the amount of sessions each person needs will be different from every other person and every tools needed for each person will be different.
