FAQs

  • How does online coaching work? As we receive your contact information, we will send a scheduling e-mail to you with a link to our Zoom session. We will also e-mail pre-coaching worksheets, other worksheets, and session summaries at least 24 hours before or after our sessions. At the scheduled time, we will both log in and proceed as if in an in-person session.

  • Where are your offices for in-person coaching? We have offices both in NW and SE Rochester, MN. Check for availability as we monitor local Covid-19 conditions.

  • What are your hours? Most sessions are scheduled Monday-Friday daytimes. I also set aside certain blocks of time on evenings and weekends to accomodate clients.

  • How long are sessions? Sessions typically run one hour.

  • Are these sessions confidential? Coaching sessions are “sacred space” and will always be held confidential between you and your coach, unless you disclose something indicating you will cause harm to yourself or others. Further details are included in our Coaching Agreement.

  • What age ranges do you work with? While I prefer working with adults, I also work with older teenagers.

  • What is the difference between coaching and therapy? Unlike therapy, which can assess, diagnose and treat problems or mental illness, coaching is solutions- and future-focused and can be an excellent approach to maintaining or strengthening health. You set the agenda as we craft your goals and plans and create an enviroment to bring out the best in you and your thinking. At Savanna Oaks Solutions, while you may find coaching to be personally and emotionally challenging, the coaching experience is designed to challenge you to achieve results you would not normally have achieved on your own.

  • What are skills sessions? Skills sessions train you in important life skills and concepts, with brief times for conversation and personal application.

  • What is phone coaching? We cover the same structure and conversational flow as with in-person or online/Zoom coaching.

  • What happens if I can’t make it to an appointment, and I haven’t cancelled? You will be billed for the entire session unless you give 24 hours’ notice.

  • What do I do to get started? Contact Savanna Oaks Solutions for a free 40-minute consultation or Success Strategy Session, or book your first paid pre-coaching conversation through this website.
