Michelle R. says, "Ever heard of a personal trainer who does in-gym testing with diabetics to find the best workout for them AND lower their insulin usage? I have :-) Scott conferred with my doctor on a regular basis to help me understand that my choices and consistency have a direct impact on my quality of life and longevity. I want to be alive to see my daughter get married. Within 6 months of 3x/week workouts, I had cut my daily insulin usage in half, which directly correlates to life expectancy in Type I Diabetics. I was only doing what felt like the right level of exertion, and doing some "in gym" circuit weight training - recording blood sugar levels before and after each circuit, and adjusting my insulin pump accordingly. We learned a lot about my energy, my abilities, and what workouts were right for me. You can see from my photos that I lost a ton of weight, streamlined, toned up, got much stronger and even more athletic. After Scott left the Dallas area for Houston, I found another gym and personal trainer, but something was missing. So I made a couple of week long trips to Houston to work with Scott every day to fine-tune my program and get re-energized. After a year in Houston, Scott moved back to Los Angeles, and that's when we did online coaching from time to time to keep me on track. " Read more

Your life coaching questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much does a life coach cost near me?

An average life coach costs $50 to $225 per hour. Prices for monthly life coaching are $400 to $1,400 with 4 to 8 sessions total. Long-term life coaching rates are $1,600 to $6,400 for 3 to 6 months of sessions. A business coach charges $350 to $500+ hourly for executives.

  • A package of 4 sessions per month costs $400 to $700 on average.
  • A package of 8 sessions per month typically costs $800 to $1,400.
  • Weekly or biweekly sessions are most effective when working with a life coach.

What is life coaching?

A life coach is a personal mentor dedicated to guiding you towards your personal and professional aspirations. The coaching process utilizes methods from positive psychology that foster growth and self-understanding, empowering you to achieve your utmost potential.

Are life coaches worth it?

Hiring a life coach is worth it if you seek guidance, accountability, and motivational help to realize your personal or professional dreams. Such one-on-one mentorship aids in leveraging your strengths, defining objectives, and driving big changes.

Creating new habits and making drastic transitions are easier with the support of a life coach.

What is the difference between a therapist and a life coach?

The key distinction between a therapist and a life coach is that therapists have legal prerequisites for practice like a state license and a master's degree. Life coaching remains unregulated with no standardized requirements, and each coach brings their own unique expertise.

Does insurance cover life coaching?

Insurance typically doesn't cover life coaching. However, some coaches provide installment plans, reduced rates for certain situations, or group sessions at a lower price per person.

The exception is that if a life coach is also a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist, your health insurance might cover their sessions. Many health plans nationwide provide coverage for emergency mental health services with licensed professionals.

How do I know if a life coach is certified?

To check a life coach's certification, look for credentials such as:

  • Training from the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC)
  • Academic qualifications in nutrition and health, especially for dietary advice
  • Certification from the International Coach Federation (ICF)
  • Degrees in psychology, human services, communication, or counseling

Additionally, ask about their training, client feedback, and professional references for added assurance.

How do I find a life coach?

Find the best life coaching service by browsing online coaching directories, asking your friends for referrals, or searching for a life coach near you on Lessons.

Consider these factors:

  • Look for the best life coaches experienced in reaching your specific goals.
  • For executive coaching, seek out those with a master's degree in your field.
  • Ask if they get ongoing education or refresher courses.
  • Request a contract with the payment schedule and terms of service.
  • Be cautious about hiring the cheapest or the most expensive coach because the price isn't the best indicator of the quality of their services.

What questions do I ask before hiring a life coach?

Consider these questions when seeking a life coach:

  • How many years have you spent coaching individuals on life-enhancing skills?
  • What's your primary area of expertise in coaching?
  • Do you provide special rates or payment plans for those with financial difficulties?
  • Can you give references of past clients I could speak with?
  • Are your sessions available online, in-person, or both?
  • How would you assist me if I'm struggling to pinpoint my goals?
  • Are there bundled packages available for extended coaching?
  • Can you share your educational and training background?
  • Do you hold any coaching certifications?
  • What's the typical duration of your coaching sessions?
  • Is it possible to talk after sessions if I have more questions?
  • Do you give assignments, such as reading or maintaining a diary?
  • How will you help me track my growth?
  • Can you give me a copy of your cancellation and refund terms?

After corresponding with AJ of Skills Technique Guru I decided to give him a try. Per my request, we met at one of the many parks with public tennis courts, within a three mile radius of my home. I'd been attending a weekly group clinic at a park far from my home. I needed to find a GOOD coach to help me to fine tune every aspect of my game. AJ was prompt. We worked on simple steps for a basic forehand. These steps really made sense to me! I had that "AHA Moment!" I found AJ to be very patient and professional. He also made me laugh, which brought some fun to the lesson, and helped me to relax. I have already booked my next two lessons. Thanks AJ!
