Complimentary Intro Session
During this 45 minute session we will discuss what you would like to focus on during coaching, your expectations and what you hope to accomplish by working with me. We’ll also chat about how the process works and how we can work together to map the journey from dreams to goals, from goals to reality.
Journey of Self-Discovery: Your Inner Spark Sessions
The first step to achieving your goals is to identify your individual and team strengths.
We will start by completing Lumina Spark Portraits for each of you. These comprehensive portraits will reveal both your individual strengths, as well as how your unique personalities complement
one-another. During our 3 Live Discovery Sessions (2 - 2 hour individual sessions and a
2 hour couples session) we will discuss:
-
Your individual strengths and how to maximize them as a couple
-
How understanding your unique personality traits can improve communication and relationships
-
Unlocking hidden talents to help guide your approach to building your home and family
-
What to do when you feel overstretched and things aren't working
-
Learn how to recognize the signs of over-extension in your partner
-
How you can support each other to find increased composure, harmony and balance

Staying on Track
“A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”
- Colin Powell
Execution of your plan is the most important part on the journey from dreams to reality.
This is where the hard work really begins! It takes strength, determination and discipline to achieve your goals. Every plan needs refinement when it is put into practice. You may run into unexpected obstacles that you need to overcome, reassess your supports or realign your timelines.
During our 6-45 minute biweekly conversations and regular email communications, I’ll be there supporting you to stay on track, talk through challenges, find solutions and celebrate successes.

Client feedback...
“Kathryn absolutely blew my mind with a coaching session. I went into this thinking that I knew everything about myself (though I was open to learning more!). She pinpointed my inner paradoxes that I didn't even understand myself and I felt seen in ways I haven't felt before."
"Kathryn has a rare generosity and I found myself taking home gems of personal and professional wisdom to apply to my life. I'm always learning something new from her and I am so grateful to have a guide like her as I dive deeper into understanding myself."
"Not only is she empathetic in her approach but she gave me practical advice on how to move forward with my current projects. Thank you so much for such an illuminating session!.”
