Individual Sessions

One-on-one coaching affords privacy, provides immediate feedback, and allows people to zero in on core issues at the heart of life’s ongoing struggles. The client sets the pace in individual sessions. Holistic Coaching™ at Journeys of Wisdom does not offer the client advice but rather teaches people the process of self-healing by discovering wisdom and answers from within.

Appointments are an hour long. To schedule a Holistic Coaching™ – Individual Session, call 800.889.1976 or send us an email.

For clients who prefer coaching over the phone and for those clients outside the Columbus area, we also offer Holistic Coaching™ Telephone Consultations.

In-person Holistic Coaching™ consultations are held at our offices in Columbus.
