My experience with groups is that a size of 10-15 is the sweet spot for enabling connection. A smaller group encourages greater sense of safety and intimacy.

Coaching and therapy both deal with mental health and our work can overlap. Check out this post for an in-depth explanation. Coaching is an action-oriented, solution-focused approach to overcoming a challenge or achieving a result in your life. Therapists tend to work with more severe issues to diagnose and prescribe treatment, whereas coaches do not. If our sessions determine that you would be better suited for therapy, I will gladly refer you to some of my favourite LGBTQ+ affirmative mental health care providers. Keep in mind that you can work with both a coach and a therapist. When it comes to your mental health, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. If you’re unsure what you need, our consultation call will help me better understand your challenge so that I can guide you in the right direction.
You can pay for the coaching package in monthly payments or in full up front. We can discuss payment options prior to onboarding. For students, I offer a student discount with a valid Student ID.
If you have a challenge in your life that you can’t seem to overcome, coaching is right for you. If you’re unsure, we will talk it out during our consultation call. I will be able to better understand your challenge and whether I am best suited to help you. If your situation would be better handled by another coach or mental health professional, I will be happy to refer you.
That is entirely up to you. Just like a fitness coach doesn’t lift the weights for you, I cannot do the work for you. I will give you all the tools and resources at my disposal to help you achieve your goals, but I cannot use them for you. If you’re committed to taking responsibility for your results, and you’re willing to learn and grow, you will feel excited and motivated after just one session. From there, anything is possible.
Group coaching is a form of coaching where a small group of individuals come together to work on personal growth, guided by a coach. It offers a supportive environment where participants can learn from each other’s experiences and gain new perspectives.
Our group coaching sessions typically up to 15 participants. This size allows for a close-knit intimate experience while ensuring everyone has the opportunity to get what they need.
Our group coaching sessions are specifically designed for men who are looking to improve their self-confidence, relationships, body positivity, and overall well-being. Whether you’re new to coaching or have previous experience, you’ll find value in our inclusive and supportive environment.
Topics vary depending on the program, but common themes include self-acceptance, building authentic relationships, navigating challenges in dating, body positivity, and fostering a sense of belonging and community.
Each session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. This allows ample time for discussion, reflection, and personalized coaching within the group.
Opening up in a group setting can be challenging. We create a safe and welcoming environment where you can participate at your own pace. You are encouraged to share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
