FAQs

You got questions? I got answers.

Q: Is this the same thing as therapy or counseling?

A: No, gender-neutral-sir, it ain’t (yes, I know “ain’t” ain’t a word). But it does have the power to get you as far or further than traditional counseling (check out the client testimonial at the bottom of the home page for one client’s experience). Here’s how we think of it in our coaching school: let’s say, gods forbid, you’d been shot. The therapist is like your surgeon, there to dig out all the shrapnel and make sure you’re not in any major harm anymore. The life coach, then, is like your physical therapist, there to get you in tip-top human working condition, healthy and whole.

Q: Do you take insurance?

A: Unfortunately, no. The people who sit behind the big mahogany insurance desk in the sky haven’t caught up with how genuinely beneficial life coaching services are for those who use them. Maybe some day…a girl can dream.

Q: Do you have payment plans?

A: Yep! If you’re unable to pay for the full package all at once, we can always divide payment into chunks (except the Mini Package, which requires payment in full). We can discuss all that when we’re on our first (free) consultation call.

Q: So, how’s this work, exactly? Like, the nuts and bolts of sessions.

A: The most common arrangement is to embark upon an 8-session package together. You can decide if you’d like to do the sessions weekly or bi-weekly. It’s completely up to you, your schedule, and how much time you’d like to have to absorb things between sessions. The sessions are done via Zoom. I can also do phone-only sessions, but I find we can go a bit deeper when we’re able to see one another, and I can see your body language as well. You might not even know your shoulders are pulled up so high around your ears you practically look like a letter “M"“ but I’ll see it! (Speaking of which, do this right now: relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, let your face relax, let your belly out and take a few deep breaths. You’re welcome.)

Q: Where/how do I sign up?

A: Just sent me an email at jenna@inneroraclecoaching.com (also noted on the Contact page) and let me know you’d like to set up a (free) consult.

Q: How do I know I’m ready for this?

A: Is there something you’re desperately in need of changing, but you’re still stuck? Have you pored over this entire site? During aforementioned poring, did you have several “ugh, YES” or “omg, YES ” moments? Do you realize a) you found your way to a coaching website for some reason, and b) you’re here now, reading the FAQs? Yeah. You’re ready.

Q: Is this scary? Should I be scared? I’m scared.

A: Well. Look. I don’t sugar coat things (except, like, donuts and pancakes and other things that benefit from EXTRA SUGAR) so here’s how this goes: there’s a real good chance we’re going to go digging into some areas of your life and how you “work” that you haven’t yet dug into — not REALLY, anyway. And that can be…uncomfortable. BUT! When you come out of that with a new understanding, and have some powerful “a-ha” moments about yourself, hoooo-wheee is that fun (for you but also me)! It’s great. It feels like freedom. It’s awesome. And it’s so, so worth it. So can this be scary"? I suppose, a little. But you’re here, reading this, for a reason — you want to break free, and come out the other side. Let’s do this.
