Package · ~4–5 months

Transform. See a major transition through — with scaffolding the whole way.

Transform is the deep package — a 90-minute intake, then thirteen 50-minute sessions: fourteen sessions over four to five months, more than twelve hours of 1:1 coaching. It's for clients in real transitions: a move to a new country, a divorce, a major career pivot, becoming a parent abroad. Skills installed at this size are the ones that become how you do the rest of your life.

The honest sizing

Is Transform your size?

Four honest checks. Every mismatch points to something better-sized — there’s no wrong door here, including the one marked “not coaching.”

The problem

Pick Transform if: A transition with a real before and after — relocation, divorce, career pivot, parenting abroad. The ground itself is moving.

Look elsewhere if: One specific thing you want different. Reset is right-sized

The depth

Pick Transform if: The question underneath isn't "how do I manage this" — it's "who am I on the other side of it." Transform has room for that one.

Look elsewhere if: You want two or three skills to stick, without the who-you're-becoming scope. Steady is right-sized

The pace

Pick Transform if: Weekly at first, then spacing out — the final sessions sit weeks apart on purpose, so it all still holds when the scaffolding comes down.

Look elsewhere if: You're not actually in a transition. Without a real life-arc to attach to, Transform goes diffuse.

The goal

Pick Transform if: Rewire a default, not patch a symptom. You've done coaching or therapy before — you know the difference between that and a quick win.

Look elsewhere if: Clinical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment of a mental health condition. That's a licensed clinician's work. How they differ

Still not sure it’s Transform? Sizing is exactly what the free Discovery Call is for — I’ll tell you which size I’d pick, including “none of them.”

Included

What you get.

  • Everything in Steady — 90-min intake, progress tracking, skills guide
  • 13 × 50-min coaching sessions after the intake
  • Closing sessions space out — built so the skills hold on their own
  • Weekly async check-in — one structured exchange between sessions

The work

What you’ll do — roughly.

No two packages run identical — your starting point and your priorities shape the order. But here’s the typical arc.

  1. Month 1

    Sessions 1–4, weekly: 90-min intake + foundational skill

    Session 1 is the 90-minute intake: we review your questionnaire together and map the full transition — your background and history, what's ending, what's starting, what's the in-between. Not a diagnosis — a map that sets the goals and direction. The first skill is usually the one for the in-between itself: regulating the nervous system when there isn't a clear ground to stand on yet. Practice between sessions matters even more here because the practice is what builds the ground.

  2. Month 2

    Sessions 5–8, weekly — session 7 is the mid-arc recalibration

    Halfway through the fourteen. We look at what the work has surfaced — usually transitions reveal themes you didn't see in week one — and recalibrate the rest of the package to address what's actually there, not what we initially planned for.

  3. Months 3–4

    Sessions 9–12, every two weeks: deeper skills + identity work

    With the foundational skill stable, the pace widens and we move to the deeper material: communication for hard conversations, decision-making under genuine uncertainty, the somatic work of grief or loss inside a transition that also involves real gains.

  4. Month 5

    Sessions 13–14, spaced ~3 weeks apart: consolidation + planning forward

    The last sessions space out on purpose, so the practices run without the weekly structure before the package ends. We stabilize what's installed and plan for the year after Transform — what to practice, what to watch for, when to come back. End-of-package written skills guide (typically 10–15 pages).

Frequently asked

Common questions

Why do the last sessions space out?
Because transition work has a known failure mode: the skills feel installed mid-arc, then six weeks later the structure is gone and so are the practices. The closing sessions widen on purpose — a soft taper: enough touch to keep the practice live, not so much that you stay dependent on the structure.
What counts as a 'real transition'?
Concretely: a move to a new country, ending or significantly changing a long-term relationship, a career pivot involving identity shift (not just a job change), becoming a parent (especially abroad), a major loss, returning home after years away. If you have to argue that yours counts, it's probably more of a Steady-sized thing.
Can I do Transform if my transition is already over?
Sometimes. Post-transition work — making sense of what happened, integrating the changes, building a stable life on the other side — is a legitimate Transform use case. It's usually harder than during-transition work because the activation is lower; we'd talk that through on the Discovery Call.
Payment plans for €1,800?
Yes — 2 or 3 monthly installments via Stripe Subscriptions. The full €1,800 just spread out monthly. If an installment fails, automatic email with Stripe Customer Portal link to update your card. Failed installments don't auto-cancel the package; they're flagged for manual resolution.
What if my life changes mid-Transform?
It usually does — that's the point. The package is designed to absorb that. The mid-arc recalibration at session 7 is exactly when we name what's emerged and adjust. The package doesn't get longer or shorter; the focus shifts.
Can I extend Transform?
Yes via on-demand sessions (€180 each, booked one at a time) after the 14 sessions end. Most clients don't extend — by the end of the arc the skills are usually self-sustaining. The ones who do extend typically do so because a second transition has arrived.
