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?

Training with Riley changed the way I looked at fitness. She has made it enjoyable and fun all while seeing results. She cares about you seeing results just as much as you do and makes adjustments when needed. Your health and safety comes first, whenever something starts to hurt she will modify or change the exercise you were doing in order to listen to your body. Anyone would be lucky to have a trainer as caring and knowledgeable as Riley is!

After struggling with a long and traumatic fertility and miscarriage journey, I was in a deep depression to the point I was hardly functioning. The world seemed black and for the first time in my life, I did not see any hope or way out. My regular therapist is who referred me to Holly and I was skeptical because I had seen so many therapists and specialists, with no relief.
When I started following her and seeing how different and unique her work was, I decided I had nothing to lose and scheduled a consult call. Right away when she started explaining to me the way my brain and nervous system were functioning and causing me to feel the way I was, I felt so validated and hopeful. She broke things down in such an easy-to-understand way.
The thing that was the most important to me was how short the sessions and exercises were. To me, 30 mins for a session, and 5 mins or so for a daily exercise was SO DOABLE. It made it easy to implement and from the first session, I felt relief and a shift in my body and mood.
Each week seeing my numbers get better and better I was more motivated and continued working with her long after I felt I had coped with my trauma and depression. 6 months later I live life more fully and more peacefully than I ever have. I didn't realize how much trauma I had been carrying around my entire life, or know how good I could feel on a daily basis. To me, the blessing within the grief and pain I went through, was it led me to a process that helped me heal from a lifetime of wounds that had never been given attention. I am forever grateful for this experience and the method that Holly created. I also know that if the time comes I am blessed to be a mom, I will be the healthiest most regulated person possibly and that will allow me to be the parent I want to be.
Truly life-changing. THANK YOU.
