Fees & Payment

Every fee is listed here and in your signed agreement. There are no hidden fees, and we never add a fee for any payment method.

Coaching

• Guiding Light Clarity Session (60 minutes): $200. Your first step: a review of your Guiding Light Clarity Questionnaire, your goals, and a check that coaching is the right fit.

• Individual coaching session (55 minutes): $175

• Couple, parent, or family coaching session (55 minutes): $200

• Group coaching: $100 per person, per session

• 3-Month Coaching Package (6 individual sessions, every other week): $1,050, or 3 payments of $350

• Extended session time: $45 per 15 minutes, $90 per 30 minutes, or $180 per 60 minutes

The Clarity Session is paid separately and does not count toward a package. Package sessions are used within 4 months of purchase. Monthly Coaching Plans are $350 a month for 2 individual sessions or $700 a month for 4; unused sessions expire at the end of each month, and you can move one unused session to the next month with 24 hours’ notice.

• Extended consulting time: $100 per additional 30 minutes

• Fixed-fee projects (such as curriculum reviews, accreditation support, or grant applications): quoted in your proposal

• Workshops, presentations, keynotes, and training: $1,000 per hour, including customized workshops. Additional fees may apply.

• Cohort and self-paced programs: the Love Is a Lifestyle® Master Class (12 self-paced modules) is $1,000 per participant, paid in full. Full refund within 24 hours of purchase if you haven’t opened the course; after that, it’s non-refundable.

• Travel for in-person work: no charge within 50 miles; beyond that, travel costs at cost or a flat travel fee agreed in advance

Every engagement starts with a written proposal that lists your fee and payment schedule.

Additional services

• Communication over 15 minutes (email, text, or calls with you or with others on your behalf): coaching clients pay $90 for 15 to 30 minutes and $175 for 31 to 60 minutes; consulting clients pay $100 and $200. Each additional 5 minutes is $25.

• Legal proceedings (only when required by subpoena or court order): coaching clients pay $350 for the first hour and $175 per additional half-hour; consulting clients pay $400 and $200

Calls, texts, and emails under 15 minutes are always free.

Cancellations, missed appointments, and late payments

• Cancel or reschedule with at least 24 hours’ notice: no charge

• Late cancellation (less than 24 hours’ notice), no call, or no-show: the full session or meeting fee

• Missed Guiding Light Clarity Session: $200

• Missed appointment on a weekend or after 4:00 pm Friday: an added $100

• Missed appointment Monday through Thursday after 6:00 pm: an added $50

• Missed appointment Monday through Friday before 8:00 am: an added $100

• Late payment: $25 per invoice for every 30 days past due

• If we cancel: you choose a new time or a full refund for that session

• Workshops and training: cancel 14 or more days before and the deposit is kept; with less notice, the full fee is owed. You may reschedule once at no charge with 30 days’ notice.

We waive one late cancellation or missed appointment during your agreement.

How payment works

• How to pay: after you schedule, we’ll send you a secure payment link or payment instructions. Ways to pay include card payments through Square or PayPal, Zelle, Cash App, and Apple Pay. Organizations may also pay invoices by check.

• When to pay: the Clarity Session and single sessions are paid in full within 24 hours of booking and before your session begins, using the payment link or instructions we send after you schedule. Appointments not paid by the deadline are released. The 3-Month Package is paid in full, or $350 at signing, before session 3, and before session 5. Consulting projects are 50% at signing and 50% on delivery (longer projects in thirds). For workshops, a 50% deposit holds your date, and the balance is due 14 days before. Monthly Coaching Plans are paid each month in advance until you cancel, and cancelling takes effect at the end of the current month.

• Card on file: if you choose to save a card with our payment provider, the provider stores it securely; we never see or keep your card number. A saved card is used only for scheduled sessions, installments you authorize, late-cancellation fees, and additional services you request.

• Payment fees: none. We never add a fee for any payment method.

• Payment plans: no interest and no added fees, in four payments or fewer.

• Insurance, HSA, and FSA: coaching is not billed to insurance, and HSA and FSA cards are not accepted.

• Organizations: invoices are due within 30 days. We can provide a W-9 and complete vendor forms.

• Refunds: cancel a package within 14 days of purchase for a refund, minus $175 for each completed session. Completed services are not refundable, and refunds go back to your original payment method.

• Unpaid balances: sessions pause until a balance is paid. Balances unpaid after 90 days may be sent to collections.

• Fee changes: we give 30 days’ written notice, and packages already purchased keep their price.
