How does life coaching/relationship coaching work?

• All appointments are virtual and can last up to 45 minutes.
• Coaching guides you to be clear on your desired outcome or goal.
• Together you and Joyce will identify the problems that are keeping you stuck and hindering you from your desired outcome.
• You will learn tools that teach you to de-stress, regulate your emotions, choose your thoughts and strengthen your communication.

What is relationship coaching?

Relationship coaching helps you find greater fulfillment in life, love, and relationships. You can get  help with setting clear goals, gaining greater understanding of yourself and your partner and moving into a marriage that thrives. In relationship coaching you can find ways to increase satisfaction even when your partner isn’t participating in the process.

Can my marriage be saved?

Marriage often benefits from coaching, but it would be unethical to promise “this can save your marriage”. Transforming ourselves is the path to transforming your marriage. Through coaching, many clients report the burden feels lighter and often state they have renewed hope.
