Life coaching with Harold and Roxanne Gates

Open the gate to what comes next. You don’t have to sort it out alone.

Maybe you’re facing a change, repeating a pattern you’re ready to leave behind, or carrying something you can’t quite name. We’ll begin there—with an honest conversation and one step that feels doable.

You can begin here

You don’t need a polished goal—or the right words.

Most people don’t reach out because everything is clear. They reach out because a decision keeps circling, a habit is hard to change, or life no longer feels quite right.

Your first conversation is a place to slow down and say what has been weighing on you. Harold or Roxanne will listen, ask questions, and help you decide what would be useful to work on.

Appointments are available virtually and in person. In-person meeting details are shared after your appointment is confirmed.

Two coaching options

Start with the person and conversation that fit your needs.

You may know exactly what you want to work on. You may only know that you’re tired of feeling stuck. Either is enough for a first conversation.

What happens first

Start with a conversation, not a commitment.

Call or email

Let us know whether you’d like to speak with Harold or Roxanne and share a brief reason for reaching out. You don’t need to tell your whole story in a message.

Talk it through

Ask questions, explain what you hope could feel different, and get a sense of the coach’s approach. There’s no pressure to decide during that first conversation.

Decide what feels right

If coaching seems like a good fit, choose a virtual or in-person appointment. Your first session can begin with the concern that feels most important right now.

Come as you are

You don’t need a perfect plan. You can begin with the part you’ve been carrying.

Sometimes saying it out loud is the first change.

A clear note about coaching

Coaching can be helpful, but it is not psychotherapy, medical care, psychiatric care, nutrition treatment, or emergency help. Harold and Roxanne do not diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions.

If you are living with a serious mental health condition, continue working with a qualified healthcare professional. For immediate or emergency help, call 911 or the appropriate emergency service.
