How it works
Finding the right coach, in three steps
Browse coaches free, request a session from any profile, and meet online — or in person where offered. Every rate is set by the coach and shown up front.
Pick someone
Start with focus area or state, then follow your curiosity. Browsing is free and needs no account. Every profile shows the coach's chosen hourly rate and the date they last confirmed their details.
Say hello
When a profile feels promising, send a free session request with a little context and a few times that work. The coach replies by email, usually within 1-2 business days.
Meet online
Most coaches offer online sessions, so place does not have to decide the fit. If you want to meet in person, look for that option on the profile.
Paying your coach
How paying works
Every coach sets their own hourly rate, and it's shown on their profile before you request a session. Rate ranges are based on typical living wages where each coach lives. You pay per session — no memberships, no packages, and no booking fees on top. The 20% platform fee comes from the coach's side, never on top of your bill.
- The hourly rate belongs to the coach, and it is visible up front
- Rate ranges are based on typical living wages where each coach lives.
- Book a session without buying a package or membership
- The shown session rate is the whole bill
