Lesley W. says, "Signing up for my first art class at Walker Light Studio was the biggest gift I gave myself as an artist. I was certain, at that time, that I would never have the necessary hand-control needed to draw anything recognizable. After introducing himself, our teacher, Joe Holliman, asked each student to introduce themselves and say a little about their experiences in making art. When my turn came, I said “This is my first class, and I must have been nuts to have signed up for it. My signature isn’t even legible. My hands are stupid.” Joe laughed, then replied:” Art begins in the eyes, not the fingers, and it comes from the heart, not the paint box.” From that first day, and onward, I keep learning the truth of his reply, and since that starting point my work has been exhibited in four group shows and a solo exhibition, and I’ve sold pieces in both the United States and Europe. Even more important, making art now fills my life with joy, every day. " Read more

His clear explanations, demonstrations, and patience helped her grasp the fundamentals quickly. I appreciated his focus on proper technique and safety, making her feel comfortable and confident throughout the session. What impressed me most was Coach Beaman's ability to break down complex skills into manageable parts, providing personalized feedback and encouragement. His enthusiasm and passion for the sport are contagious, making her excited to continue learning and improving. After just one session, I've already noticed improvements in her footwork, ball handling, and shooting.

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?

Coach Kinyofu is kind, wise and honest. Her guidance was an essential part of my growth and development journey. I especially appreciated Kinyofu's willingness to share about herself and her story as she helped me develop and transform mine. Kinyofu's transparency and openness allowed me to both experience her deeply as a coach as well as learn through her sharing. Thank you, coach Kinyofu for your sage advice and guidance!

I am 69 years old and have been working with my trainer, Craig, for nine years now. At age 60 I couldn't do even one sit up and had little upper body strength. Now I can do sit ups, planks, and have nice muscle tone in my arms. I feel younger and in better shape every year. I have never enjoyed the gym before, and Craig is the main reason I have stayed consistent with my training. He always tailors the session to how I am feeling and what I need - sometimes we just do stretching if my back is hurting. Other times he will push me to add more weight to what I am doing. He really pays attention to his client's needs and goals. Craig works with all ages at my gym and kids up to seniors really like him. Sometimes I really don't feel like working out. But I always look forward to seeing Craig. And I always leave the gym feeling better than when I came. Without Craig motivating me, I know I would never have stuck with this training, and I credit him with helping me to stay in shape and in good health as I age.
