Why Coaching?

Because you, your marriage, and what you are being called to matters.
And since you are reading this, it is very possible that you desire to...

• develop a stronger and more satisfying God-honoring marriage,
• transition well as you change roles or even cultures,
• live more intentionally and purposefully as an individual and as a couple,
• experience sustained growth where it matters most!

What is it for you?
​
​It matters and coaching can help make it a reality!

Coaching has played an enormous part in every part of my life, and I attribute so much of who I am today to what God did through it.

Life Coaching is...

A partnership

“The greatest benefit I received from coaching was having regular contact with someone that was personally invested in my professional and spiritual walk. Melissa is very gifted in 'The Art of the Question.' … I really cannot imagine any sort of success without her input.”

...that uses focused conversations

“Those conversations really helped me figure out who I was and what I'm built for. And that put me on the track that brought me to where I am now. So thank you.”

...to clarify your vision and goals

“I have been so blessed to have a coach. You gave me something that I have never had--someone to challenge my thinking, not to change me but to help me learn what I thought God was telling me to do. You did not tell me what to do, but you helped me see it more clearly. Very few times do we have people who help us see things more clearly. I could not have done this without you.”

...and design creative yet purposeful steps 

“Through coaching, we were able to accomplish something that we have not been able to do for years--living on a personal budget. It was an incredible burden we were carrying and now we are set free. I used to bury my head in the sand on financial things and now I am having fun. We are paying off our debt and experiencing freedom!”

...to move towards living out your vision.

"There were so many things that we gleaned from the help of our amazing coach. Looking back, one of the most important things was how she coached our relationship as husband and wife. We were able to develop skills that have deepened our friendship and laid a foundation for our life-long journey ahead. We can truly say that we are healthier and stronger as a family as a result of spending time with Melissa Chaplin."

We can't say enough about how she has helped us communicate better as a couple, and challenged us to identify areas for growth both as individuals and as a couple. We get so much out of every session and it is truly a joy to be a part of strengthening our relationship with the goal that we glorify God as a couple and a family.

What should I expect?

Clarity
Expect to gain clarity around your values, vision, purpose, and goals and then be able to make meaningful choices in all areas of life.

Relevance
​Expect to make the most of your time by deciding what is most important to you to focus on in each call. Many people find it helpful to complete a specific coaching form prior to each call to prepare for it.

Growth
Expect to be challenged and supported as you enjoy the sweet reward of taking creative steps towards following Him and living the vision you are being called to live.

A Committed Coach

My commitment to you:
I personally want to make the most of every moment. So, I will do my part to make sure that the time spent in coaching is valuable. With that in mind, to my clients, I commit to:

• engage myself fully in what matters most to you, during each and every coaching session.
• alert you to resources that you may find helpful throughout our coaching relationship.
• continually improve my craft of coaching through continuing education.
• abide by the International Coach Federation Code of Ethics.

Additionally, I coach from a faith perspective. If you have questions about this, let’s discuss this during the initial phone consultation.

We are blessed and thankful to have met Melissa who has a beautiful smile, a tender heart, and a gift for getting to the heart of the matter.

What is my investment?

Before we get to the cost of coaching, my first question is, “What is the cost of not engaging coaching?” Many have found coaching to be a catalytic time of growth that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

Personal Investment
Commit to get the most out of coaching by considering if this is the right season in your life and/or marriage for coaching, bringing your whole self and being the real you in each coaching session, investing your time and attention on coaching take-aways in between sessions, and owning your goals and taking the steps necessary to reach the place where you are living out your vision.

The actual number of months that you pursue coaching is dependent on your goals for coaching. Some people satisfactorily reach their goals after 3 months of coaching, others after two or more years.

Coaching sessions take place over the phone, Skype, Zoom, or a like means.

Financial Investment
The best coaching results are often found after a minimum of six sessions over a time period of three months. And so I encourage you to begin coaching with the intention of a minimum of six sessions. Included in a coaching partnership is email communication between sessions.

Individual sessions are $100.00 each plus any applicable taxes and last approximately 60 minutes.

Couples sessions are $125.00 each plus any applicable taxes and last approximately 90 minutes.

The coaching we received from Melissa Chaplin was a huge part of the success we experienced... Melissa’s coaching prepared us to be more focused, more optimistic, and better team players.

Ready? Let's begin.

I want you to have the best possible coaching experience and that may or may not be found with me as your coach. In order to find out if we are a good client/coach match, complete the form below to set up a complimentary free-initial coaching conversation. There is no commitment to start coaching following this conversation.

I grew in so much self-awareness through coaching and I now have more tools and motivation to reflect and actively take care of my heart, mind, body and spirit. Melissa was so sensitive to the Holy Spirit, always knowing the exact questions to ask to bring me to a place of deeper awareness and clarity.
