Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the free 30-minute consultation?

This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation to explore your goals, answer your questions, and determine whether coaching with me is the right fit for you. We'll clarify what you want to achieve and create a tailored plan for your journey. You'll leave with clarity and direction, whether or not we move forward together.

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 you're facing or breakthrough you're ready to make. I'll guide you through practical tools, help you reframe limiting beliefs, and create actionable steps for the week ahead. Sessions are conducted via Zoom in a safe, confidential space where you can be completely authentic.

What is the POsitive intelligence® app?

The app provides daily, research-based mental fitness exercises that help you quiet your inner critic, increase emotional resilience, and shift from fear-based thinking to love-based presence. Think of it as short, practical exercises—like 2-minute breathing practices, thought reframing tools, and mindfulness techniques—that you can do anywhere. It supports and enhances everything we do in our sessions.

Transformation doesn't just happen during coaching—it happens daily. This app makes that possible.

What if I'm not tech-savvy? Will I struggle with the app?

Not at all! The Positive Intelligence® app (your mental fitness gym) is designed to be simple and user-friendly. The exercises are straightforward, and I'll walk you through how to use it during our first session. Many of my clients who initially felt intimidated by technology find the app becomes one of their favorite tools. If you ever have questions, I'm here to help.

Can I start with the 3-month package and upgrade to the 6-month?

Absolutely. Many clients begin with The Emotional Reset (3-month journey) and choose to continue with The Whole-Hearted Life (6-month program) for deeper, lasting transformation. If you upgrade within 30 days of completing your initial package, your investment will be credited toward the 6-month package.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! Monthly payment options are available for all coaching packages. The 3-month program can be paid as $1,050/month for 3 months, and the 6-month program as $995/month for 6 months. Whether you choose to pay in full or in monthly installments, starting your coaching package reflects a full commitment to the entire experience. Payment plans simply offer a more manageable way to invest in your growth.

What if I miss a coaching session?

Sessions may be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice. Missed sessions without notice may be forfeited, though I always approach each situation with grace and understanding. Life happens, and we'll navigate it together.

How do we communicate between sessions?

We use Zoom for all coaching sessions. You'll also have email support between sessions, with response times based on your membership level (36-48 hours). If your package includes priority support calls, you can use those 15-minute calls for urgent clarity or support between sessions—they're perfect for when life throws you a curveball and you need immediate guidance.

Is coaching faith-based?

My faith in Jesus Christ informs how I see you, how I serve you, and how I hold space for your transformation. I believe that as a child of God you have infinite worth, and that truth shapes everything 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 experience noticeable shifts after just a few sessions—like feeling more confident in difficult conversations or sleeping better at night. Others see steady transformation over time, with their biggest breakthroughs coming in months 3-6 as deeper patterns shift. It is the consistent application of the tools and mindset work that leads to powerful, lasting change.

What happens after my package ends? How do I maintain momentum?

This is one of my favorite questions because it shows you're thinking long-term! After completing your intensive program, many clients transition to one of my ongoing coaching memberships to maintain their momentum. The Monthly Momentum Membership ($195/month) provides regular check-ins, while the Biweekly Growth Membership ($365/month) offers deeper ongoing support. You'll also retain the tools and mindset shifts from our work together, plus continued access to the app to support your daily practice.

I'm nervous about opening up to someone new. What if I don't feel comfortable?

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!
