FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS GENARIAN COACHING?

Genarian coaching is coaching designed specifically for aging — grounded in gerontology, professional training, and decades of real experience with individuals and families navigating aging-related challenges. It’s not generic coaching. It’s coaching built for the realities of your life and the people you love.

WHO DO YOU WORK WITH?

I coach individuals, couples, siblings, parent–adult child relationships, caregiving teams, and multigenerational families. If aging is part of the story — your own or someone you love — you’re in the right place.

WHAT KINDS OF ISSUES DO PEOPLE BRING TO COACHING?

Aging touches everything. Clients come to coaching for support with:
• communication challenges
• decision-making
• caregiving stress
• family conflict
• planning for aging or retirement
• navigating medical or care transitions
• identity, purpose, and legacy
• emotional overwhelm
• relationship strain
• “what’s next?” questions

If it’s connected to aging, we can work with it.

HOW DOES COACHING WORK?

We meet regularly — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — depending on your needs. Sessions are 50 minutes, focused, and grounded in your real life. You don’t have to prepare. You don’t have to perform. You just have to show up. Together, we create clarity, direction, and relief.

DO YOU WORK VIRTUALLY OR IN PERSON?

Coaching is conducted virtually, which allows individuals and families to join from anywhere. It also makes multi-location family coaching simple and accessible.

DO YOU WORK WITH FAMILIES TOGETHER OR INDIVIDUALLY?

Both. Some families work together in shared sessions. Others begin individually and bring in additional family members later. We design the structure that best supports your goals.

DO YOU REQUIRE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF SESSIONS

Yes. I require a six-session minimum for all new coaching partnerships. Coaching — like any meaningful interpersonal partnership — takes time to build. It takes several sessions to understand what’s happening, identify the real topics, and begin the work of transformation. I don’t believe in abrupt endings or stopping before coaching has had a chance to work.
After the initial six sessions, you decide how often we will continue.

DO YOU USE COACHING AGREEMENTS OR CONTRACTS?

Yes. When we agree to begin a coaching partnership, I will send you a set of introductory documents to review and sign. These include:
• privacy and confidentiality agreements
• fee and payment policies
• cancellation and rescheduling guidelines
• expectations for our coaching partnership

These documents ensure clarity, transparency, and mutual understanding from the very beginning. They’re straightforward, human, and designed to support a strong coaching relationship.

WHAT IS YOUR FEE?

I believe in transparency. My fee is $200 per session. There are no packages, no hidden costs, and no long-term commitments. You pay per session, and you decide how often we meet. Unfortunately, I do not accept insurance.

DO YOU OFFER A COMPLIMENTARY SESSION?

Yes. Your first session is complimentary — a 30–45 minute conversation where you can explore what coaching might open for you or your family. It’s pressure-free, risk-free, and centered entirely on your needs.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

You’ve already done the hard part — you found your way here. The next step is simple: schedule your complimentary session and begin your coaching experience today.

YOUR WHEEL OF LIFE

The Genarian Wheel of Life is a simple exercise that helps you take stock of eight areas of your life, including health, relationships, independence, and purpose.

It can help you see where things feel steady, where you might welcome some support, and what you’d like to pay more attention to.

Take your time with it. If we decide to work together, your completed Wheel can give us a useful starting point for our conversation.
