How Much Does a Life Coach Cost?

Short answer? It depends. (I know- that’s the answer NOBODY wants.) So let’s skip the runaround: here are real numbers, where they came from, and exactly what I charge.

What Life Coaches Typically Charge

The International Coaching Federation’s 2023 Global Coaching Study found the average one-hour coaching session in North America cost $272 (worldwide, $244). That’s 2022 data, and it includes ALL kinds of coaches- executive and business coaches too.

Paperbell, a booking platform for coaches, looked at a year of real sales (October 2025 to October 2026). The typical life coaching package was $500, or about $111 an hour- and life coaches charged the least of any coaching niche.

So you’ll see anything from about $100 an hour to $250+. A lot of that difference comes down to one question: what are you actually getting?

What Changes the Price

  • How many sessions you get, and how long they are
  • One-on-one or group
  • What happens between sessions (accountability, check-ins, a plan you follow)
  • A single session versus a whole program with a plan built around YOUR life

What I Charge

Consultation: $250 for 90 minutes. It’s credited in full toward SPARK or ICE, and everyone who books one gets a complimentary Splankna session to use within 30 days. (Want to know what happens on that call? Read What Happens in a Coaching Consultation.)

SPARK: $2,500.00 for six weeks of virtual one-on-one coaching. That’s about 11½ hours of one-on-one coaching across four areas- health, habits & mindset, your space and your goals- plus six optional Splankna sessions.

ICE (live-in coaching): 2, 4 or 6 weeks. Pricing is shared during your consultation.

Splankna: $125 a session, $330 for a Trio, $525 for a Series of Five. Splankna isn’t coaching. It’s one facet of my coaching- part of SPARK and ICE- but you can also book it on its own. Splankna is a Christian modality that begins with prayer and uses energy techniques. Just want Splankna? Book a session.

Do I Have to Pay It All at Once?

No. SPARK is paid in three steps:

  1. $250 for your consultation
  2. $500 to enroll. Together with your consultation, that’s your $750 deposit. It holds your spot and is non-refundable.
  3. $1,750 at your enrollment call

Why I Charge What I Charge

“When I first started, I didn’t ask people to invest much. What I learned is that a lot of people say they want change- far fewer are willing to do the work. So now I only invest my time in people who are serious about making changes, NOT people who just talk about wanting change.”

Does insurance cover life coaching?

No. Coaching isn’t medical care or therapy, so don’t count on insurance to cover it.
