Sharon B. says, "Kelsey is a knowledgeable, creative, and talented yoga teacher, both in classes and one-on-one lessons. Her classes feel fresh every time- I always leave inspired by a new pose, transition, or song. Classes are just the right difficulty- always challenging, but also safe, supportive, and not unreasonably difficult. It seems like Kelsey incorporates building-block poses and sequences to move us toward more advanced postures and make her classes build upon each other. At my previous yoga studios, I couldn't see much progress in terms of me getting stronger or improving my practice, but in Kelsey's classes, I could from day one. In individual lessons, I have grown even more! Kelsey helps me with lots of fun poses that I either didn't know existed or didn't know I was capable of, and also teaches me weights and other exercises to complement and build my yoga practice. She provides a lot of helpful instruction so that I know how to do poses correctly in classes or in my home practice. A ton of my understanding of yoga, strength, and how our muscles and bodies work is due to Kelsey!" Read more

Your life coaching questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

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?

Launy With A Purpose and I worked together in Yoga. In doing so I was able to reach a goal then; then continue a relaxing regime at home. Her dedication to serving was first class and professional while adding such a personable touch, I was left with a soulful connection. I can't wait to work with Launy With A Purpose again!

Kitara Rain Amore is a gifted spiritual practitioner who transmutes light into love infusing with her fingers into the flesh and into the soul. As a recipient of her healing services, she left me with a feeling of joy and peace beyond what I had previously known. Her love does not arouse but rather awakens a sense of newness from transformation. I had been carrying a longtime problem and she helped me over the hump. I highly recommend her services to those longing to remember the wisdom of youthful purity. Kitara is certainly one of these new generation of young people meant to guide the world into a better path.
