FAQs

Do you offer payment plans?

Button

Yes! I offer 3-month payment plans on my coaching programs, The Behavior Edit and The Business Edit.

Do you work on a sliding scale?

Button

Yes! I charge a rate for my coaching packages that is commensurate to my depth of experience and that represents the value a coaching package brings to my clients' lives. However, financial accessibility is deeply important to me and I fully understand that these rates might not be within reach for everyone. If that's you, please don't hesitate to let me know and we'll figure something out together.

How do I know if you're the right coach for me?

Button

There are a LOT of "coaches" out there - Not all of them are qualified to help you figure out the details of your life. Coaching is a skill, not just a catchy job title. A coach's goal should always be to help elicit your inner wisdom so you can figure out what works for your life -- Not to push their own agenda. Curious about what it's like to work with me? Book a free call and let's chat! Read more here: https://www.sonjaecklund.com/blog/red-and-green-flags

What are your professional values?

Button

I value creating spaces where all people feel a sense of belonging, so it's important to me that you're never left feeling unsure about whether you're welcome here - Read more in the footer of my website: https://www.sonjaecklund.com

What's the difference between coaching and therapy?

Button

The distinction between Coaching and Therapy can be tricky to understand. Here's a video I made on the topic: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLIVYRlSRZq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== It is my responsibility to ensure that I stay within my scope of practice as your coach. I may make a referral to a therapist or another provider if I do not feel that your concerns are within the scope of my coaching practice.
