Choosing the right life coach is a big step.  So, what should you look for when making your decision?  

Embodiment-  Look for a coach that is dedicated to doing his/her own inner work.  Being their best client (by doing their own inner work) allows your coach to continually be learning and growing.  AND, please don’t ever expect perfection from your coach.  They are human, too. 

Certifications-  There are many schools, trainings and programs that teach various modalities and principals of health, wellness and life coaching.

Certifications are great, AND be more focused on the results you will get from working with your coach. 

Connection- You might be working with this person for months, or longer, so take the time to get to know your coach before you purchase a package from them.  Making you feel safe to share deep aspects of your life is a very important factor in this process.  If the energy feels off during your consultation call, trust your gut. 

Cost- Try not to let cost be your deciding factor, if at possible.  Your coach has taken years, or perhaps even decades, to develop the skills necessary to hold a safe and loving space and to help their clients heal, make shifts and grow. This skill set can come in the form of education, experience, time and intuitive energy.   If cost is a concern, talk to the potential coach about payment plans.
