Coaching with Teresa R. Foster blends reflective inquiry, compassionate accountability, and practical strategy. Together we create rhythms that sustain your wellbeing, relationships, and creativity.
Coaching is collaborative personal/professional development. It is not psychotherapy or a substitute for mental health treatment. If you need therapy, please visit the counseling page.

Process
How coaching engagements unfold
Discovery
We begin with a 20-minute consultation to clarify needs, confirm scope, and choose the package that fits.
