Types of Coaching & Services

There are a few different ways to connect with me. You can fill out an interest form, you can book a meeting via my Calendly link, or you can submit an inquiry. All these options can be found on the Contact page.

The “agenda” for our first meeting will typically be relevant to the type of work we can do together, the tangible benefit we can create together, and an optional explanation of what to expect next should you decide to engage as a thought partner. There will never be any pressure to agree to packages and/or hourly service(s).

At HMUA we believe that it’s both logical and easy to become more generally complacent as both ourselves and the world around us ages and evolves. Complacency, while comfortable, can also erode ability to grow and relate to a constantly changing world.

Coaching, when done with thought and care, enables an intentional and structured process to take place, where a skilled and objective 3rd party can help an individual to identify sources of conflict, and effectively work towards a desired future state. A future state with newfound ability, and newfound sense of peace and purpose.

At HMUA, our goal is never to “hook” you to our services. In fact, our goal is almost the opposite. We want you to tangibly feel growth, become more aligned to your values, and discover yourself capable of living the life that you want. We will support you getting there, and support you to build your own individual capabilities to carry it forward. You will never be pressured to agree to any length of service that does not feel right for you.

Great question! At HMUA, here’s how we clarify:

Coaching is a collaborative process, usually 1:1 or in a small group setting. We work together to explore your goals, examine patterns, and build clarity. The outcome is co-created. You bring your lived experience, I bring tools and frameworks, and through discussion we uncover practical steps forward. Coaching is a component of all of our packages.

Consulting is more solution-driven. After we align on your needs and goals, I take ownership of designing or delivering the solution. Sometimes we’ll co-create, but often my role is to research, analyze, or build something you can use right away. 

In short coaching is about guiding you to find your own best path, while consulting is about me delivering expertise and solutions directly. Many clients find value in a mix of both, which is why I also offer flexible packages that combine coaching, consulting, and research support

It depends on your goals and how you like to work.

Packages are best if you want ongoing support, structure, and better value. They include sessions, resources, and email access between meetings, so progress doesn’t stop when the clock runs out. Most clients choose a package because it creates consistency and momentum.

Hourly is best for focused, short-term needs. If you’re tackling one specific challenge or just want a “test drive” before committing, hourly can be a great fit.

In short packages build momentum, hourly provides flexibility. You’ll get results either way, the choice comes down to what fits your situation best!

I will ask all clients if they will allow me to anonymously capture and use anecdotes from our conversations for research purposes. I am interested in capturing research on values and how those values relate to our lived experiences. HMUA is interested in ultimately researching beyond this topic, but we are starting here!
