“Frannie is a kindhearted, optimistic person who’s been an enthusiastic partner in addressing my desires for change. My healthy routines and self-care habits had fallen by the wayside during the pandemic, and I was looking for support to build them back up. Frannie helped me create and center my own goals and work towards them with exactly the gentle, grounding, and objective-oriented approach I needed. Today I completed my first post-pandemic triathlon! Thanks, Frannie!” ~ Sandra

“Frannie is a caring, intuitive, natural coach. She has been able to understand my struggles and help me find solutions by having me look deeper at my choices. Her positive energy and knowledge as a coach have made a wonderful and positive impact on my day-to-day stressors. Through her great questions and compassion, I was able to see much of what was causing me stress and overwhelm was of my own doing. I am so grateful to have Frannie as a coach and cheerleader. I would highly recommend Frannie if you are looking for a coach who is honest, caring, and passionate about helping you with your goals.” ~ Donna

“I had been stalled for over a year on a project that was very important to me, but that I also had deep ambivalence about. Frannie helped me tap into my values and regain access to why it was worth delving into the hard work and steep learning curve in front of me. I just received the news that I passed this difficult certification, and I could not be happier or more proud. Working with Frannie was truly a gift, and made my life feel richer and more meaningful. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to tackle a challenge, or get more out of life.” ~ Julie

“Frannie’s coaching skills, empathy, and humor make her quite simply the best companion and guide to help anyone reach the destination they choose. She helped me remember to keep my goals at the center of the frame until I reached them, while making sure the journey itself was rewarding.” ~ Karen

“Frannie is remarkably insightful. Her warmth and creativity helped me to come up with new ideas on dealing with what I'm dealing with. She didn't lead me to answers but guided me down different paths so I could find them on my own. She is patient, caring, and perceptive and her ideas have helped me immensely.” ~ Liz

“My experience being coached by Frannie has been life-changing. Her keen insight and skill, along with her warm and friendly coaching style, have motivated me into living the life I love living.” ~ Izzy

“'The calm in the middle of the storm’ is the best way I can describe coaching with Frannie. She created a safe, peaceful space for me to explore my limiting beliefs about myself and who I thought I was. Frannie helped empower me to begin living my life according to who I really am, a life in true alignment with my soul.” ~ Jen

How does coaching work?

We’ll start by assessing where you are and where you want to be. Then I will support you in setting goals to bridge that gap. After that, we will partner to move you toward achieving those goals. Each session, you will be in charge, so that you can always work on whatever is most pressing for you.

How does coaching differ from therapy?

Coaching starts with where you are now and creates plans of action for achieving specific, future goals. The focus is on bridging the gap between where you are now and where you want to be, using action steps, accountability, and follow-through. Therapy addresses emotional and psychological pain and dysfunction that usually is rooted in the past.

How can I benefit from coaching?

If you can imagine living your life differently or achieving something that you desire, but you cannot seem to get there on your own, coaching can help you. Coaching will help you explore and clarify your desires and make actionable steps toward them, as you increase effectiveness, satisfaction, confidence, and joy.

How long does coaching take?

The length of the coaching engagement will vary depending on the goals you set and your progress toward them. Usually, coaching works best in at least 90-day increments. I offer three-month, six-month, and one-year packages. If you have a project or topic you want to work on more quickly, we will arrange for fewer sessions. We evaluate your progress along the way, and it will always be your decision how long to continue with coaching.

How often do we meet and how long are the coaching sessions?

Typically, my coaching engagements start with a 90-minute discovery session. Going forward, we’ll have an average of three 60-minute sessions per month. However, if you want more or less support, we will arrange our sessions to suit your needs.

Where do we meet?

Sessions are by phone or video call.

Can I get support between sessions?

All my packages include email support between sessions.
