Everything You Need to Know Before We Begin

Each coaching experience includes clearly defined sessions, resources, expectations, and support. Before you enroll, you will receive complete details about the program that best fits your goals, including the number of sessions, session length, communication between sessions, and any materials or resources included. Nothing is hidden. Barbara believes you should know exactly what you are investing in before you say yes.

Barbara’s Wisdom: “Clarity creates confidence.”

Coaching investments are non-refundable. Because Barbara reserves time specifically for each client, prepares thoughtfully for every session, and intentionally limits the number of women she serves at any given time, fees are not refundable once a program begins. If you have questions about whether coaching is right for you, Barbara encourages you to ask before enrolling. She would rather you join with confidence than wonder whether this is the right fit.

Barbara’s Wisdom: “Wisdom invites questions before decisions.”

Clients may discontinue participation at any time. However, payment commitments remain in effect. Payment plans divide the total program investment into manageable installments rather than creating a month-to-month subscription — so if you choose to step away, remaining payments are still due. Barbara is happy to discuss this during your initial conversation so there are no surprises.

Barbara’s Wisdom: “Integrity means honoring commitments.”

Barbara asks for 48-hour notice whenever possible. Sessions canceled with sufficient notice may be rescheduled based on mutual availability. Late cancellations or missed appointments may count as completed sessions. Life happens — Barbara understands that. She simply asks that you treat her time as carefully as she treats yours.

Barbara’s Wisdom: “Respecting time respects the relationship.”

Barbara respects your time as much as her own. If she must reschedule because of illness or emergency, every effort will be made to arrange another mutually convenient time. You will never lose a session because Barbara needed to reschedule. Your investment is protected, and your time is honored.

Barbara’s Wisdom: “Trust is built on both sides of the relationship.”

No. Coaching is distinct from each of these professional services. Barbara provides coaching, guidance, education, accountability, and practical rebuilding strategies rooted in the Rebuild & Thrive™ Framework. She does not provide mental health treatment, legal representation, or individualized financial advice. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or need specialized legal or financial counsel, Barbara will encourage you to seek the appropriate professional support.

Barbara’s Wisdom: “Knowing what coaching is — and is not — protects everyone.”

Lasting transformation depends on each client’s willingness to engage fully in the coaching process. Barbara provides wisdom, structure, encouragement, and accountability — but she cannot do the work for you. Each client’s progress will reflect her unique circumstances, commitment, and willingness to apply what she is learning between sessions. Many women experience meaningful shifts early in the process. Others find that rebuilding takes more time than they initially expected. Both are normal. Both are honored.

Barbara’s Wisdom: “Growth is a partnership, not a promise.”
