Coaching is a special kind of relationship. It is a partnership with a purpose, marked by Honesty, Respect, and Mutual Goals.

As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend.
~ Proverbs 27:17

People come to coaching because they want something in their lives to be different. Often people want to do things in the same manner that they've always done, but expect the results to be different. Coaches and the people they coach know that for the future to be different, we need to make changes in the way we do things. More often they involve changes in attitudes, thinking, perceptions and behavior.

The demand for personal Life Coaches is on the rise. A good Life Coach has personal goals as well. That goal is to guide the person they are coaching to new discoveries, new awareness, learning how to take action and control in their own life. Ultimately, a Coaches desire is to create a strong leader, one who no longer needs a Coach, but has developed their own sense of purpose, their own determination to reach for their stars.

My purpose for becoming a Certified Christian Life Coach is because I have been given a purpose to serve and help others. It has been something I seem to do naturally, it is a part of me. I was doing it long before I ever heard of the term, Life Coaching. My own life in obesity has created a great compassion for others who are suffering in obesity. I am a successful Life Coach when my clients reach their successes! It is my goal to be successful!

Life Coaching verses another dieting program: Many of us have tried many dieting programs and often feel they have failed. One's first thought about joining this group might be, "Perhaps this will be a dieting program that works for me." The truth is, there are many very good healthy dieting programs, that do work if one will work them. Life Coaching is to help you yourself, discover and over come the obstacles that have prevented you from working a healthy program. Most often, these obstacles have nothing to do with your diet, but your habits, your own self image, the people in your lives, and stress. Our goal here is to guide you to identifying these obstacles, how to removed them and taking the necessary steps to move forward. My personal mission, to help you discover a whole, healthier balanced life, mind, body and spirit.

If you browse around the Internet, you will find many Life Coaching services. The average hourly rate for a private personal on line Life Coach begins on average, $100.00 per hourly session, those rates just go up and up! So why do I offer 'Free' scholarships and my coaching services here? Because this site is designed to function in a group setting, everyone working together, and because I wanted to give, as in a ministry. Because I know there is a need. The only differences in this method verses one on one coaching services, is the fee, and we coach in a group, not one on one.

Time being limited for me as well, free scholarship space is limited to those who are seeking change and ready to begin. We currently offer up to fifteen free scholarships. If our scholarship program is full, you can request to be placed on our waiting list and you will be notified once a position opens. There are two ways a position will open. One, our job here is complete as a group member reaches their goal and they move to our maintenance level. Two, a scholarship is lost due to lack of participation, and over time, no progress is being made.

Paid Services

Support Group Sessions:
If our scholarship program is full, but you do not want to wait for a scholarship opening, we are accepting new memberships with a non-refundable pre-paid fee of $20 a month, which will be payable through Pay Pal. There are no binding contracts, cancellation of membership will be accepted at any time.

Private Coaching Sessions:
My rates are based upon the frequency of our time together and the method. Generally these sessions will take place during phone calls, e-mails, Internet chats, or if you are in my local area, personal meetings can be arranged. Our first step,to make an assessment of your needs and to determine if we are a match. It is important that we both believe we can make progress together prior to beginning our coaching relationship. To schedule a free 30 minute coaching session, either by phone or by Internet chat, please send your request to: ourpowerhouse@gmail.com. In the subject header, please type, "30 minute coaching session." Once we have both agreed to the terms and conditions and agree to build this relationship, I do accept my payment for fee's through Pay Pal.

Many Blessings To All
