What Is Coaching
Guidance for what comes next.
Coaching is practical support for the challenges you're facing right now in your relationship. How to communicate differently. How to understand each other. How to move forward together.
Unlike therapy, which explores your past and processes emotions, coaching focuses on your present and future: concrete strategies, action steps, and real-world application.
Coaching is available to anyone, anywhere. No licensing restrictions. Whether you're across the country or across the world, we work together via video call.
"We love each other. We just don't understand each other's brains yet."
Coaching is available worldwide via video call. No commute, no waiting room, just a focused hour with someone who gets it.

The Process
How Coaching Works
Fill Out a Screening Form
Tell us what's going on, what you're hoping for, and what matters most. This helps us understand if we're a fit.
I Review & Respond
We read carefully and get back to you within 24 hours with thoughts on how we can help and next steps.
Book Your First Session
We schedule a 50-minute video call. In that first session, we talk about what's happening and show you a different way to approach your relationship.
We Work Together
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions. You get tools, strategies, and support. Movement toward what you want.
You Move Forward
Coaching is goal-oriented. When you reach your goals or feel ready to continue on your own, we wrap up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is coaching right for me, or should I do therapy?
If you want practical tools and strategies for your relationship right now, coaching is perfect. If you want to process trauma or work with a licensed clinician, therapy is better, visit maringhigacounseling.com for therapy options (California residents only). Let's chat, we can help you figure it out.
Can we do couples coaching if we're in different countries?
Yes. All coaching is virtual via video call. Time zones can be tricky, but we'll find times that work for both of you.
How many sessions do I need?
Most couples start with 6-8 sessions to see real shifts. Some continue longer, others wrap after hitting their goals. We'll reassess after your first few sessions.
What if we don't feel safe or connected in sessions?
Your comfort matters. If coaching isn't the right fit or if there's active harm in the relationship, I'll say so and refer you to therapy or other support.
Do you take insurance?
Coaching is not a clinical service, so it doesn't go through insurance. You pay out of pocket. I offer payment plans if cost is a barrier.
What's your cancellation policy?
I ask for 48 hours notice if you need to reschedule. Cancellations within 48 hours are charged in full. Life happens, let me know and we'll reschedule.
Can individual coaching help my relationship?
Yes. If your partner isn't ready for couples work, individual coaching helps you understand yourself better, set boundaries, and make decisions about your relationship.
Are you still practicing acupuncture?
Not right now. I'm on sabbatical from acupuncture. This site now offers coaching only. If you're looking for therapy, visit maringhigacounseling.com.
