Why is coaching different than other kinds of readings?
In Coaching I may include the use of such tools as Tarot, Astrology, Numerology, Reiki, Bodywork, NLP, Hypnosis, Past life regression. Or, I may choose to simply use my intuition or channel the information. There are no products to buy, no courses to take, no homework to do. Simply by showing up – keeping your commitment to the coaching session – what’s real begins to rise to the surface. Without “rules” which are ultimately distractions, we are able to target quickly and directly what needs to be worked on.

What is Lucas Development Coaching?
It's a WHOLE Coaching experience. Once we understand that each part affects every other part, we can see that poor business decisions adversely affect our personal life and an unhappy relationship causes problems at work. As long as we try to partition our life into manageable parts, we will miss the chance to feel real, whole and alive. We cannot think our way through life. We can only figure out what we want when we know how we feel. And we can only feel when we acknowledge all of our life, not just the parts we like.

What is a Life Coach?
By focusing on the present and not the past, Life Coaches have emerged as a viable and exciting alternative to traditional psychotherapy. By dealing with “what is” rather than “what was”, a Life Coach works with you to uncover your true goals and desires. Using a variety of powerful techniques combined with intensive personal counseling, a Life Coach supports you as you move towards your dreams. Just think of a Life Coach as a personal trainer for your life.
How do I know if Coaching is for me?
If you feel stuck in any area of your life, coaching is for you. Only you know what aspects of your life have been neglected and only you can decide to do something about them. No one can tell you this. Ask yourself - Are you doing work you love? Does your relationship open you more than you could open being alone? Getting “unstuck” begins with your recognition that the time is now.

What should I look for in the Coaching relationship?
The most important part of any relationship is the quality of the communication between you and your coach. Trust your feelings. Are you being heard? Are you motivated to change? Are you seeing things about yourself that you never saw before? A coach may have credentials, but only when you feel connected to the coach and invested in the relationship will there be a successful partnership.

Who needs a coach?
Entrepreneurs, Professionals and Business Executives who want to increase profitability, tap into creativity, develop balance and expand horizon.
Individuals in career and/or life transition
People who aren’t having any fun
Those who want a deeper look inside

Why does Coaching work?
Simply put, it’s hard to do on your own. We may be very psychologically astute with our friends, but we have difficulty seeing our own “stuff”. A good coaching relationship keeps us focused on where we are going and what we need to do to get there. Being accountable to your coach keeps you connected to the promises you make to yourself.

How much does it cost?
Our telephone conversation is free. If we decide to work together, my per session fee is $100 per hour or $350.00 per month (a savings of $50.00), which includes four one-hour coaching sessions and “check-ins” by e-mail. The monthly fee of $350.00 is payable on the first session of each contracted month. If you are interested in putting together a group for group therapy, the cost is $65 per person with a minimum of four participants. Group sessions are one hour. Any agreed upon additional services are negotiated separately. A forty-eight (48) hour cancellation policy is in effect for all scheduled sessions. Your payment is your contract for the agreed upon sessions. If you cancel your appointment prior to the 48-hour grace period, another appointment will be scheduled for you. Payments, once made, are non-transferable and non-refundable.
