What is a Life Coach?
A Life Coach is an experienced person who supports a learner or client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance. The learner is sometimes called a coachee. Occasionally, coaching may mean an informal relationship between two people, of whom one has more experience and expertise than the other and offers advice and guidance as the latter learns.
What's the difference between a Life Coach, a Therapist or Mentor?
While therapists and life coaches can be great for improving your life, they’re not the same.

Coaching differs from mentorship by focusing on specific tasks or objectives, as opposed to more general goals or overall development.

How do I know if I need a life coach?

Am I looking for transformation in my life but am unsure of what to do to get to that point?

Do you find yourself lending support or providing advice to others, however needing support and a safe space to be vulnerable?

Do you desire to meet goals & make better choices to ensure peace of mind and happiness?
If you answered yes to at least two of these questions, you make a great candidate for life coaching.
