Frequently Asked Questions

What is Story Work coaching?

Story Work coaching is a one-on-one process focused on you and your story. It is a place to learn how and why your stories matter, how you have been shaped by your experiences, and discover why you do what you do. Together, we will engage your stories with kindness and care.

Why does this matter?

Our life experiences shape our beliefs, which in turn influence how we live and interact with the world. By engaging with your story, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and how your past informs your present, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

Who is this for?

Individual coaching is for those that want to go deeper into their story, to understand why they do what they do. It can be hard to find safe places to bring our story and show up as we truly are. This space is created with the intention that you get to come as you are and bring your story to a kind and caring session.

This work is also for those that feel stuck in their healing journey. So often we can find ourselves knowing facts about ourselves, but not actually connecting to the heart of ourselves.

What If I Don’t Have Stories of Harm?

You are welcome to bring any story that you would like. Not all of us will have stories that we consider harmful and that is totally ok. We do all have stories that have shaped us and I invite you to choose whatever story is coming up for you. I will guide you in how to write and bring a story and will try to make it as easy as possible to show up with what you have.

What is the commitment like?

Story work is a journey, not a quick fix. While there is no minimum number of sessions required, consistency is key to building trust and momentum. Most clients find that meeting regularly allows for deeper exploration and more meaningful progress. We can discuss a rhythm that feels right for you during your free consultation.

What if I feel uncomfortable during a session?

It's completely normal to feel anxious or uncomfortable when bringing your story, especially when exploring vulnerable parts of yourself. This space is designed to be safe and supportive, and it's okay to experience discomfort.

What’s the process if I want to start?

Head over to the sign up page. Once you've filled out the contact form, I'll get back to you shortly about setting up a free consultation.

What is the cost?

Each 50-minute session is $120.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance. Coaching, including Story Work coaching, is distinct from therapy and is generally not covered by health insurance plans.
