Life Coaching with Kara
"Just as an athlete under pressure will not rise to the occasion, he will sink to the level of his training; as humans under distress, we will sink to the level of our healing and inner work. A fulfilling life is an ongoing process, not a state of being. It is a direction that evolves over time, not a one-stop destination. You are the compass creating a unique map, so stop letting others navigate your life and start living the adventure you were always meant to lead!"

About Kintsugi
Life Coaching
Kintsugi Life Coaching LLC is a separate private practice from Kintsugi Counseling Services LLC that offers online concierge life coaching for adult individuals and couples throughout the United States. Life coaching is considered an elective service and is private pay. However, some HSA / FSA plans may consider life coaching a mental health service, so it is worth inquiring with your HSA / FSA administrator for more details.
Life coaching is different than therapy in that we focus much more on the present and future, versus processing the past in therapy. Through life coaching you can gain practical skills and self-awareness to live a more fulfilling life. For individuals, I specialize in empowering women, competitive athletes, and adoptees. I also coach individuals in managing anxiety and depression and how to overcome hurdles, such as imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, social anxiety, and low self-worth. For couples, I specialize in conflict resolution, increasing connection & intimacy, and constructive communication skills.
​
​I bring over 40 years of life experience, including being a competitive athlete, triathlete, ultramarathon runner, elementary teacher, summer & high school swim coach, CrossFit gym owner & head coach, Marriage & Family Therapist, a mother of three, a wife, daughter, sister, friend, and a Korean adoptee. I have overcome many roadblocks, detours, losses, trauma, abuse, major depression, and anxiety, and they have shaped the imperfectly beautiful person I am today. This is the heart of Kintsugi - That our broken parts are worth repairing and even more beautiful for having been through the journey. While my experiences are not unique to the human experience, my stories are, and I help others tell their own stories and take back their power and beauty to live their life worth living.
Here's a little secret - We are all figuring it out as we go! Life is an ongoing process that requires a solid foundation, which is often where I help out in a client's journey. Let's grow together!

My Approach
Kintsugi Life Coaching is client-centered, meaning I try to get to know my clients as they see themselves, meet them where they are in their life journey, and then gently nudge them toward the life they want to cultivate. The coaching plan is an ongoing process that is continuously collaborative with the client. Just as a well-fitted suit or dress needs customization, so does an effective coaching plan.
Concierge Services
Concierge virtual coaching services provides clients with direct access to Kara for in-the-moment practice and implementation of solutions and skills, customization of session length and frequency, flexibility of canceling and rescheduling, and a far more personalized, attentive, and thorough coaching service. Kara accepts only a small caseload of clients to ensure quality and accessibility of services.
Book Ahead
Clients can still book ahead as needed or desired, but it is not required. Clients are able to book out 3-months in advance. Frequency and duration of sessions are dependent on the client's needs, goals, preferences, and schedule. Sessions are virtual via telehealth or FaceTime. Call, text, and email as needed.
Clients that are local to Hudson, Ohio can request in-person sessions in a public location (ex. coffee shop, library, hiking trail, etc.), or an at-home visit.
