Intake Consultation / Needs Assessment

---

It all starts here. All prospective clients, whether you are thinking about working by phone, in your home / office, or in my office, our first meeting is by phone. The goals of this first meeting are to:

• Discuss your situation
• Guide you in articulating your needs and prioritizing them
• Agree on realistic goals and expectations
• Co - design a customized coaching plan to fit your needs and ensure your success!
  

The elements of your plan will include:

• An initial set of goals for our work together
• A recommended meeting schedule and an affordable monthly payment plan.

Most clients start seeing positive shifts within the first three sessions...many after the first session. Not knowing your starting point, I can't promise you will get the same results, but I can tell you that most clients "graduate" within 3 - 8 months of coaching with a renewed sense of self-confidence and a whole new lease on life. If you are ready to put the time in, and show up for our sessions, I invite you to book your Intake Consultation. This session is a great way to get a feel for what coaching is like with very low risk.

What's included?

• Additional support for up to one month after session - you can send me photos, as well as quick questions by email or by phone message.
• Reviewing photos via email (optional)
• OPTIONAL: MP3 Audio Recording - Clients love the recordings because they don't have to worry about taking notes and can listen again to get the deeper insights they may have missed the first time. Your session will be recorded using Audio Acrobat. You have the option to not record your session. All recordings are 100% confidential.
• INSTANT online appointment booking - means NO telephone tag - saves us both time!

I know what it's like when stress, overwhelm, money problems, relationship tension, job performance concerns, self-employed business demands, clutter and disorganization are ruining the quality of your life. Having conquered my own issues with excessive clutter, debt, addictive spending, ADHD, PTSD, and disorganization, I've personally experienced the healing power of therapeutic coaching, emotional support, and clutter clearing to help you make room for and manifest what you really want in life.

With me as your coach, you won't be alone with your struggle any more! My specialty is helping people who have tried many paths but haven't gotten lasting results. I help people get to the root of the issue and make empowering, life-transforming changes - not just put band aids on to get you through the day.

I know how hard it is to put yourself out there and trust that you will be truly understood and won't be judged. All I can say is that is what I'm known for -true compassion, validation, and acceptance - and that is what I teach people to give themselves - along with many other life-changing skills, systems, habits, beliefs and attitudes.

I would be honored to be part of your journey to living a simpler, more satisfying, compassionate and fulfilling life. But I also understand you have to be ready to commit the time and energy it takes to work on making your life better.

So whatever your decision is about working with me, I sincerely wish you much peace, many blessings, and hope you will allow me to stay in touch by joining my FREE newsletter and accepting my FREE e-books!
