Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the free 30-minute consultation?

This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation about what keeps happening, what you want instead, and whether coaching with me feels like the right fit. We’ll talk through your questions and explore which level of support may best serve you. No pressure — just an honest conversation about what’s possible.


What does a typical coaching session look like?

Each 50-minute session is designed around your specific needs and goals. We typically begin by celebrating your wins and checking in on your progress, then dive into whatever challenge, goal, or breakthrough matters most to you. I’ll help you uncover limiting beliefs, process emotions, and build practical skills for your relationships and your life. Sessions take place over Zoom in a safe, confidential space where you can be completely yourself.

WHAT IF SOMEONE I LOVE ISN’T WILLING TO CHANGE?

You cannot control another person’s choices, but you often have more influence in your relationships than you realize. Changing how you communicate, respond, process your emotions, hold boundaries, and care for yourself can open new possibilities for connection. This doesn’t mean excusing hurtful behavior or carrying what was never yours to fix.

You don’t have to wait for someone else to change. Your power is in what you choose to do next.

WHAT IS THE POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE® APP?

The Positive Intelligence® app supports our work through short, research-backed exercises that strengthen your mental fitness between our sessions. It helps you recognize self-sabotaging thoughts, interrupt familiar patterns, and practice healthier responses throughout your day. Think of it as your mental fitness gym — simple to use, and I’ll help you get started.



CAN I START WITH THREE MONTHS AND CONTINUE INTO SIX?

Yes. You can begin with The Emotional Freedom 3-Month Intensive and continue into The Whole-Hearted Life 6-Month Intensive if you decide you want more support, depth, and time to grow. If you upgrade within 30 days of completing your initial package, your investment will be credited toward the six-month package.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. The three-month intensive is $2,995 paid in full or $1,050 per month for three months. The six-month intensive is $5,695 paid in full or $995 per month for six months. Payment plans make the investment more manageable while representing a commitment to the full coaching program. We can talk through your options during the consultation.

WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE A SESSION?

Life happens. You may reschedule a coaching session with at least 24 hours’ notice. Sessions missed or canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be forfeited. I approach unexpected situations with grace, understanding, and clear communication.

CAN I REACH YOU BETWEEN SESSIONS?

Yes. Both coaching intensives include personal text and email support between sessions. You’re welcome to share a win, ask a brief question, or reach out when you need encouragement. I generally respond within 24 hours, though occasional delays happen. Deeper conversations and coaching take place during our weekly sessions.

IS YOUR COACHING FAITH-BASED?

My faith in Jesus Christ shapes how I see, serve, and hold space for the women I coach. I believe your worth is God-given and your agency matters. Those beliefs guide the compassion, honesty, and hope I bring to our work together.

That said, you don’t need to share my beliefs to benefit deeply from this coaching. The tools I use are powerful, practical, and effective — designed to stand on their own. I’ve worked with clients from a variety of faith backgrounds (or none at all), and what matters most is your openness to growth. You’ll always be met with love, respect, and a safe space to be fully yourself.

How quickly will I see results?

Every woman’s journey is unique. Some notice meaningful shifts after just a few sessions — greater confidence in difficult conversations, a clearer boundary, or more peace of mind. Others experience their deepest breakthroughs in months three through six as long-standing patterns begin to shift. Lasting change comes from learning new mental and emotional skills, practicing them consistently, and having support along the way.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY COACHING PROGRAM ENDS?

By the end of your intensive, you’ll have practical tools and experience applying them to your relationships and everyday life. Depending on your package, your Positive Intelligence® app access lasts three months or one year. Some women feel ready to continue independently; others want ongoing support as new goals, relationship challenges, or dreams come into focus. If you’d like to continue coaching, we can discuss your options and decide together what would best support your next season.

WHAT IF I FEEL NERVOUS ABOUT OPENING UP?

It’s completely natural to feel nervous about being vulnerable with someone new. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space is one of my highest priorities. During our free consultation, you’ll get a feel for my approach and whether you feel comfortable with me. Many clients tell me they felt at ease from our very first conversation. Trust is built over time, and we’ll go at whatever pace feels right for you.

What is your cancellation policy?

Coaching packages are a commitment to your transformation. While sessions can be rescheduled with proper notice, refunds are not offered. This policy honors the space, time, and energy both of us invest in your growth and ensures you’re fully committed to the process that creates lasting change.


I had been in and out of counseling many times over the years but never felt that I made much progress. Laura Palmer showed me the way! Her coaching gave me tangible tools to use and a path forward. She is a delight to work with and has been such a blessing to me.

Julie

Spending 12 weeks working with Laura gave me all the tools that I need to take my thoughts captive and process feelings that do not serve the purpose for which God created me. Thank you, Laura, for your heart to help women! I am forever grateful!

Donna

Laura’s compassion and integrity helped me to overcome a burden that I had carried for a decade! Laura’s heart for others brings a sense of peace and safety into the conversation. Her ability to hold space for me while I processed the grief of losing my child was priceless.

Betsy

I have been to several therapists, and none have been able to integrate my pain and feelings while giving me incredible tools and skills for having HOPE again.  Laura is filled with optimism for healing and peace in one’s life and has God-given talents for bringing out the best in you!

Sue

Even when working through uncomfortable truths, she keeps it light and delves out so much compassion. No matter what you are struggling with—your relationship with food/alcohol, your loved ones, or most importantly YOURSELF—Laura has got your back!
