Frequently asked questions.

What do you Coach? 
I am a Performance Coach specializing in Acting and Public Speaking. The scope of work I do continues to expand, so please read through the below FAQ and feel free to contact me with any questions. 

Tell me more about your Acting Coaching? 
I work with Actors of all levels but I specialize with newer Actors who are towards the beginning of their career. I believe by developing a process, expanding your vocal and emotional comfort zone and learning to make bold choices, you can put yourself in position to book professional work. I will help prepare you for the professional world through developing your skillset, releasing self doubt and guiding you to the strongest version of yourself.

Tell me more about your Public Speaking Coaching? 
I help individuals overcome their limitations in communication, storytelling and speech professionally and personally. Coaching allows students to discover the dynamic, confident and charming voice that has been hidden within. I believe strong communication is one of the most important skills that ultimately dictates a person's level of success. Let me show you the tools you need to allow your speech to match your qualifications. I find most people are very qualified and competent in their chosen field. However many lack the Public Speaking skill to tell their own story, thus not allowing others to see their full potential. 

What is Coaching?
Coaching is a collaborative relationship where we identify the issues holding you back and work to overcome them together through exercises and constructive feedback. As a Performance Coach, my goal is for my clients to permanently change their lives, level of success and personal relationships as a result of our work.
You can learn more about my coaching approach here.

What does a session feel like?
Sessions are individually tailored, transformative and focused on permanent growth, not temporary unsustainable spurts. To achieve this, we have to develop a relationship of mutual trust. Sessions are informative, valuable, fun and joyful. I do my best to achieve effective training with real enjoyment.

Do I need to have a specific goal to start?
No. Some people come in with a clear focus and we hit the ground running. Others simply know that something in their life or work no longer feels aligned or they have been putting off developing essential skills. We’ll explore together and allow clarity to emerge naturally. Coaching doesn’t require you to already have the answers. 

How often are sessions?
Generally, I suggest starting weekly and then evaluating after four weeks to gauge effectiveness and trajectory. But some students benefit from more concentrated sessions at the beginning. 

How long do people usually work with you?
It varies. Some people work together for a few months, others for a year or more. Growth takes time and unfortunately is not overnight. Students leave the first session with a roadmap of our plan and valuable insight learned, but it takes time and practice for the change to become permanent. Temporary growth happens very quickly, permanent change takes longer. 

What kinds of people do you work with?
I work with Actors, Directors, Content Creators, Business Leaders, Lawyers, Professors, Ministers, Salespersons and more! Others come to coaching for specific events, media training,  personal growth and confidence. Some are based here in Los Angeles, while most join via Zoom from around the US and World. Most importantly, I ask that you are open to feedback and trust me to get you there. 

Do you do group workshops for companies? 
I do! I love to work with businesses by doing workshops with their employees. These workshops tend to focus on communication, sales, presentation and confidence building. Please contact me directly for corporate rates and we will develop a plan. 

Do you offer in person sessions? 
Yes. While most sessions take place over Zoom, I am able to see clients in person who are located in the Los Angeles area. I do charge an additional travel fee and do not see clients at my home. I can arrange a space for us to meet or I can come to your office or home. 

Is Zoom Coaching effective? 
When the pandemic hit and I started Coaching full time on Zoom, I was skeptical that clients progress would be similar as in person. However, I am happy to report that now over five years later that clients' progress has been stellar and easily comparable. Still not convinced? Shoot me a message and we will discuss your personal situation. 

I’m feeling overwhelmed. Should I still start?
You don’t need to feel “ready.” You only need to be willing and open to the possibility of growth in yourself.  Start with a free consultation and we can see if I will be able to help. I promise to meet you right where you are. 

How much does it cost?
I offer coaching packages with a minimum commitment of 1 month to begin. Discounted rates are unlocked with a monthly commitment of 3 months or more. Individual sessions are available as well and I do my best to be flexible with your timeline and schedule.
To talk through fit, structure and current rates, please contact me.

How do I get started?
I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we get to know each other and talk about your goals.
