Coaching is a distinct profession that helps clients solve problems, reach goals, design a plan of action and make decisions.  It helps clients identify what is important to them and helps them align their thoughts, words, and actions, accordingly.  

Coaches encourage clients to set goals they truly want and they ask them to do more than they may have done on their own.  They help clients focus in order to produce results more quickly and they provide clients with the tools, support, and structure to accomplish more.  Coaching is more action-oriented and focuses on the here and now. Just think of a coach as a personal trainer for your life and relationship.

Relationship and Sex Coaching are professional client-focused services where an individual or couple is assumed to be healthy, powerful, and able to achieve their relationship and sexuality goals with effective support, information, and guidance.

Relationship and Sex Coaching is a mix of these elements:

• Personalized relationship and sexuality information and education
• Re-directive cognitive processes and reframing
• Emotional balancing and intuitive guidance
• Behavioral training and home assignments
• Resources and referrals

Coaching sessions involve talking and listening, relationship and sex education, and problem solving.  Regarding sex coaching, it is important to understand that it is strictly talking about sexual issues/concerns. At no time does it involve clients performing sexual acts in front of the coaches or sexual contact between the coaches and clients.

Coaching sessions are private and confidential. That means that what you are doing, how you are doing, what you have accomplished, and your personal secrets are not discussed or hinted at by us to anyone else. The only exception to confidentiality is if you are a serious threat to yourself or someone else.
