What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?

Therapy often looks back — it helps us understand, process, and heal from the past. Coaching tends to looks forward. It’s about where you are now and what you’re ready to grow toward.

In coaching, we work with awareness and action. We explore what feels alive for you — your desires, edges, patterns, and possibilities — and we build practices to bring those insights into your daily life.

While therapy is designed to treat mental health conditions, coaching is less about fixing and more about unfolding — like the honeybee, drawn toward what’s blossoming next.

What happens in a coaching session?

Each session is a space for honest exploration and grounded growth. We begin with what’s most alive for you — a question, challenge, or desire — and follow the threads of curiosity and awareness that arise.

Together, we look for what’s underneath the surface: the patterns, beliefs, and longings that shape your choices. From there, we invite clarity, alignment, and new ways of being.

A session might include conversation, reflection, embodiment practices, or creative tools. My role is to walk beside you, attuned and present, as you find your own way forward.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

You might be drawn to coaching if you’re standing at a threshold — sensing that something in your life is ready to shift, but unsure what comes next.

Coaching can be especially supportive if you’re seeking greater authenticity, confidence, or clarity; navigating change; or longing to live in deeper alignment with your values and truth.

It’s less about having a “problem to solve” and more about a readiness to grow — to listen inwardly, take courageous action, and meet yourself more fully along the way.

What can I expect from working with you?

Our work together is collaborative, honest, and alive. You can expect presence — mine, and increasingly, your own. I’ll meet you with curiosity, compassion, and candor, holding a space where your truth can unfold without judgment or rush.

You can also expect to be challenged, gently but clearly, when it serves your growth. My role is not to give you the answers, but to help you hear your own — the ones already humming beneath the noise.

Like the honeybee, this work is about connection and creation: gathering what’s rich and true, transforming it through attention and courage, and returning it to your life as something deeply nourishing.

I’m still not sure. Can you give me an example of a typical session?

Of course. Every session is unique, but here’s a sense of what our time together might look like.

We usually begin by landing — taking a moment to breathe, arrive, and check in with what’s most present for you that day. From there, we choose a focus: something you want to explore, shift, or better understand.

Through conversation, reflection, and sometimes experiential practices — like visualization, somatic awareness, or guided inquiry — we follow the thread of what emerges. My role is to listen deeply, ask questions that invite clarity, and help you connect insight to real-life action.

By the end of a session, you’ll likely leave with something tangible: a new perspective, a felt sense of direction, or a small, meaningful next step. Coaching isn’t about fixing who you are — it’s about partnering with what’s ready to evolve.

Bridging Coaching and Energy Work

My work lives where conversation meets energy — where insight and embodiment come together. Coaching invites awareness through reflection; Reiki invites restoration through stillness. Together, they help create transformation that’s both grounded and holistic.

How does Reiki fit into your coaching work?

Reiki is a gentle energy practice that supports balance and calm. It’s not about fixing or diagnosing — it’s about creating space for your own natural clarity and ease to return.

In coaching, Reiki may be woven in to help integrate emotions, ease tension, or deepen connection to self. It can also be offered on its own as a restorative session.

Reiki is always offered with full consent. You’ll know when and how it’s included, and you can decline or adjust at any time. Some people describe it as a sense of deep rest or quiet renewal that helps them feel more centered and open.

What is a Reiki session like?

A Reiki session offers time to slow down and reconnect with your own inner rhythm. We begin with a brief conversation about how you’re feeling and what kind of support you’d like that day.

You’ll then rest comfortably, usually lying down, while soft music plays in the background. I’ll gently move my hands through a series of placements on or just above the body, inviting the flow of healing energy.Most people experience a sense of deep calm, warmth, or subtle movement of energy through the body. Some notice emotions releasing or new clarity emerging; others simply feel restored and peaceful.

There’s no need to “do” anything — your system naturally takes in what it needs. Like the quiet work of the honeybee, Reiki moves gently beneath the surface, supporting renewal in its own wise way.
