Life Coaching

As a Certified Professional Life Coach, Erin is trained to help clients make improvements in their lives, by discussing goals or areas that could benefit from more focus. While she can work with anyone on any topic, she is especially inspired to work with women who are experiencing times of transition in their lives. This may include finding a new career, raising children, balancing work and family, or even creating an identity outside of the societal “norms” for women.

Life Coaching differs from counseling or therapy. While therapy or counseling may study a client’s past to understand the issue and move forward, Life Coaching is more focused on the client’s current life experience and the future goals. So, while therapy can look at past, present, and future, Life Coaching simply focuses on present and future. Some people may even benefit from both therapy and coaching. Additionally, coaching emphasizes the idea that the clients have all the knowledge within them to create the most beneficial and lasting improvements, which they discover for themselves through the coaching process.

Coaching / Massage Combo

During the Prenatal and Postpartum phases (and throughout life), a combination of coaching and massage can be ideal. With the combination package, we have the option to spend all 4 sessions in coaching each month, if you feel that 4 sessions of coaching is ideal. Or, you can convert one of the 4 sessions to a massage, if you’re needing a massage that week instead of a coaching session. Just give a 24 hour notice that you’ll be receiving a massage instead of a coaching session. Or feel free to plan up front for your massage on any particular week, with the other 3 weeks spent on coaching. If you choose the combo package, you’ll also fill out the massage intake form at your first coaching session, so that all forms are complete.

Do I have to use a coaching package or combo package within a month? What if I need to reschedule a session?

A combo package should be scheduled within approximately one month up front, ideally the same day each week, but there is some flexibility within that. If you know you’ll be gone one week, or illness or other issues arise and you need to reschedule a session, that’s totally fine. I like to try to keep the whole package within about 6 weeks if possible, if rescheduling needs to happen. Many coaching packages come with a greater time and cost commitment (usually at least 3-6 months, with larger fees, and rarely by individual session). If you’re able to plan for multiple months of coaching, this would be an ideal scenario. However, I realize that at least for myself, I’m less likely to try something new that requires me to commit up front to a large chunk of the year. You are welcome to schedule individual coaching sessions with me, with or without a one month package. But I do feel that you’ll get the most out of coaching if you plan for at least 3 sessions. You may also find that committing to a one month package, and then scheduling a few follow up sessions once or twice a month for a few months may be ideal. Or, after a month of coaching, you may decide to take an entire month off to implement the new plans or mindsets, and then come back for another month of coaching to reevaluate or tweak some things. Also, an extra month of coaching can be very helpful at certain times of the year, such as changes within the school year (back to school or summer break routines).

Are coaching sessions in person, by phone, or virtual?

Coaching sessions can be done in several ways, but I do prefer meeting in person if possible. Coaching sessions take place at Inward Ease, located at Westover Business Station (1021a W. Market St., Harrisonburg). Being in person for a coaching sessions is a great way to make sure you carve out that time to focus on yourself, so you can get the most out of it and come away refreshed and ready to be at your best for your other activities in life. Coaching can certainly also happen by phone or video call, if that’s your preferred method, and if that makes life easier in any given week. I will allow an hour per session, although if you only want/need 45 min. in any given week, that’s completely fine, as well.
