How long will I have to be coached in order to see results?
Coaching works with the subconscious mind in order to break through old habits and negative beliefs. Because it’s not easy to break an old habit and establish a new one, it’s imperative to establish a consistent process that continues reaffirming the new set of beliefs.

Various studies have shown that after 3 months or 90 days, the subconscious mind start accepting these changes and making them permanent. This is the reason why 3 months minimum is recommended for coaching.

This will also depend on what exactly you want to achieve, so the precise duration of the program will be determine in a case by case basis.

I am a successful woman entrepreneur, wife and mom; for this reason I know I will help you achieve your goals and overcome the roadblocks that you may encounter on your way to success.

What happens in the FREE Discovery Coaching Session?
The Free Discovery Coaching Session is designed to be an exploratory opportunity for you and for me.
Coaching will only be a success, if we can work as a team. A team where you can trust me, and we can connect; because is the synergy of two minds that will empower you and help you overcome obstacles and conquer any fears.

You will be able to decide by yourself, before hand, if we will be able to work as a team and I will do the same.
I only work with clients that I know I can help, and for that reason it is very important for me to know that we could form a team and work as a team, while having trust as a foundation. In other words, I reserve the rights to refuse a client.

How can you coach me if I am in another city, state or country?
If you are in any other place, than face to face with me; our coaching session won’t be affected, actually there is a chance that will be more effective.

I have an 800 number that you will call when we have a scheduled meeting for those in the US, but if you are in another country, we will use the internet.

I have done this with many clients and there has never been a problem in the coaching progress.

Why coaching over the phone could be more effective than in person coaching?
Ironically, coaching over the phone, even if we are in the same city could be more effective, because some people will tend to feel “tight up” when having to talk about personal issues face to face with someone else.

By being on the other end of a telephone, and perhaps never meeting in person, some of my clients that had very difficult situations, felt very comfortable opening up to me; which is key for coaching.

Can you coach me in Spanish?
You bet! Por supuesto, es mi lengua natal

Do you have any guarantee?
Yes! My coaching comes with a 30 day “unconditional happiness” guarantee. What this means is that after the first 30 days, if you don’t love the work that we’re doing, if you don’t see that it’s exactly what you need to overcome your challenges and achieve your goals, then not only do you not have to continue, you can have a full refund of every penny you paid! Does that sound fair?

Are you ready to start the first day of your new life?
