Frequently Asked Questions

A life coach is your advocate, and your partner to building a better more satisfying life. A life coach can help you with many things from prioritizing and organizing your life, to learning how to express your emotions and build self-esteem.

They provide resources, suggestions, encouragement, accountability, and the best part is they are objective, and their sole interest is on improving your quality of life, personally or professionally, whatever your needs may be. You will get better insight into who you are, what you want, and identify specific steps to get where you want to be. You will build skills and gain tools and resources to help you live the life you want.

Positive psychology is the scientific study of what makes life worth living, and individuals flourish. Everyone wants to be happy, and there are as many ways to get there as there are people. “Well-being (or happiness) is just like ‘weather’… in its structure: no single measure defines it…but several things contribute to it,” says the father of Positive Psychology, Martin E. P. Seligman.

What we do as positive psychology coaches is breakdown a large, ambiguous goal like “Happiness” into smaller, more manageable pieces to help our clients identify, define and cultivate their own happiness.

We are really focused on positive evidenced based solutions. Which means, we stay on the leading edge of positive psychology to make sure the skills and resources we provide to our clients carry more weight than just positive affirmations. These interventions are rigorously tested and scientifically proven to get results.

I get asked this question more than I get asked how much I charge. Sure, there are Life Coaches out there that are a bit more new agie than others, but Life Coaching is a lot more mainstream than you might think. Don’t worry, we won’t be asking you to eat tofu, find your spirit animal, or encourage you to read The Secret… Unless of course you want to!

Each client is different, typically after the complimentary consultation your coach will make a recommendation for how many sessions to purchase based on your needs and desired outcomes. However, it is important to remember that real lasting change does not typically happen immediately. It is standard to recommend a minimum of at least 12 sessions to ensure enough time to learn, implement, and see the benefits of developing new positive habits.

If you get results sooner than you expect and this happens frequently, than you can do any of the following:

• Bank the session(s) in case you need to touch base in the future. (Most people do this)
• Donate the sessions to someone you know that may not be able to afford a Life Coach.

We view this on a case by case basis. If your coach is convinced that the young person genuinely wants the coaching, and it is not by force of parent or guardian then yes. However, we would prefer to work with young people 17 and older.

There are many conditions where Life Coaching may not be appropriate or Stellar Life Coaching just isn’t a right fit for the job. Clients suffering from schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, autism, or severe anger management issues may require special medical care such as doctors and/or medications that most life coaches are not qualified to manage.

Unfortunately, at this time no health insurance companies (that we know of) will pay for Life Coaching.
