No. Coaching is about building skills and habits for the future. Therapy is about healing or diagnosing. Many of my students also see therapists, and coaching works well alongside that.

Absolutely. Coaching is practical and action-based, so it often complements therapy. I’ll never replace a therapist, but I help your child put daily strategies into practice.
About 10–15 minutes a week. We’ll touch base so you know what’s happening and how to support at home without nagging or micromanaging.

Yes. In order to set up a group class, 5 people need to commit.
If you are interested in arranging a class, the adult classes can be from ages 18 and upwards. Our oldest student is currently 83 years old!
If you are interested in arranging a class for children, the groups can either be for children from 1st-3rd grade, 4th-6th grade, 7th-8th grade, 9th-12th grade. There is some wiggle room to be flexible here (for example, if we have a class of 7th and 8th graders and someone is a nearby grade or proficiency level wanted to join, we can definitely explore this option!) Please just speak to Michele to discuss any of your needs/wants/ideas.
All of the classes are recorded. If you miss a class, we can send you the recording. It will be your responsibility to watch the class in its entirety and do the work to be caught up and ready for the next session.
Unfortunately, payments for classes are non-refundable. However, you can take the balance and apply it to individual sessions if you like. This will give you the opportunity to learn at your own pace with one-on-one learning.

You will have the ability to message us anytime you like. You can ask questions and send pictures of your work. We are available during regular work days and during regular business hours in PST and will be happy to answer any specific questions and look at the pictures of your work.
