FAQs
What can I expect from Athena Movement Coaching, LLC sessions?
First, you can schedule a Free Discovery Call to see if we're a good fit for working together. Then, you will complete a form before the initial assessment that helps me begin to personalize your experience. During the initial assessment, we will discuss the form and identify your goals. After that, we will work together to address barriers and get you closer to the relationship with movement that you want to have. This can be a combination of talking, mental activities, coping skills, goal setting, peer support, and physical activities depending on what you want and need.
Do you offer scholarships or payments on a sliding scale?
Not at this time, but as my business grows, I will be finding ways to incorporate both into my business plan. Since I am just starting out, I do not yet have the resources to offer scholarships or a sliding scale, but I will be incorporating both as soon as possible. In the meantime, I will be finding various ways to offer free and low-cost resources. Keep an eye on my website and social media to be notified when these options become available!
What does it mean to "move freely through my world"?
One of my first clients used this phrase in our first call (and has since given consent for me to use it. Thanks E.J.!), and it really resonated with me. I found myself using this phrase to tell my friends and family about my business. Then I had another client who used a very similar phrase, and I realized how well it describes the goal of Athena Movement Coaching, LLC. To me, "moving freely" means that I can do activities and movements I want to do and in ways that are liberating for my body, mind, and soul, and "through my world" means that it is specific to me and what makes sense in my own circumstances. It describes a mindset that I hope can work for all of us: a relationship with movement that is compassionate and brings us closer to our goals and values and one that is unique to each individual.
How much does it cost?
As a new-ish business, our pricing structure is evolving. I currently offer a variety of coaching sessions and packages starting at an Introductory Rate of $60. As I develop more services and begin offering courses, my goal is to offer services at a variety of price points, and I also hope to have scholarship and sliding scale options as soon as I can manage. When you schedule your (free) Discovery Call, we will discuss prices and payment options, and I can answer any questions you may have.
What is "movement coaching"?
Movement coaching at Athena Movement Coaching, LLC is a combination of a few services: a little bit life/health coaching, a little bit personal training, and a little bit injury prevention. I wanted a term that would be more approachable and more accurate than life/health coaching or personal training, so I landed on "movement coaching." I'm far from the first to use this phrase, but it is a less common term than the others I considered.
Are your services offered virtually or in person?
Both! I currently offer most of my services virtually through Google Meet (other platforms available upon request), and I also offer sessions in person locally in the Greater Orlando area. Send me an email or schedule a Discovery Call to discuss the options and details!
