Sometimes talking things through and having a 'sounding board' helps us all to cope with barriers in our lives. Life Coaching is a tool used to move forward personally, professionally, and spiritually. Together, we will set goals both short and long term. Throughout coaching the main goal is to help offenders make better choices, to not get any new charges/cases, and come up with a plan to help you get off of papers! We will offer Life Coaching to the families of the offenders called 'The Chat'. Most times unforgiveness, anger, and a disconnection due to actions, behaviors, and crimes that were imposed on the family causes problems. Sign up for Life Coach service and get the results you have always wanted. If you are interested in our Lifestyle Coaching program please register on our waiting list.
