Coaching with me is all about you: figuring out what is going on with you, what is best for you, and how to help you achieve it. I'm very flexible with my hours. I'm told I'm easy to talk to, and coaching with me frequently takes on a big sister or mentor type feeling. I’ll even share my personal experiences with you when I think it will give you more clarity, or help you feel validated, or normal. I've been through a lot these past 40+ years — good, bad, and ugly; you might as well benefit from my mistakes, successes, and tragedies, (in addition to my education).

Answers to some frequently asked questions.
When you complete payment I get an email notification. I will email you ASAP to welcome you and give you my availability for our session.
If you need to talk ASAP please sign up for an Emergency Session. I will give you top priority in my schedule. We can usually talk within a few hours, or possibly right away. It will be within 24 hours; even at night and on weekends.
Regular sessions are based on my availability Monday thru Friday. Usually within 72 hours.
Package sessions can be used at any time. Just text me to see when I'm free.
I am from Philadelphia and frequently run back and forth between New York and Philly. I have a car and can meet you wherever is most convenient for you in either city or their surrounding areas.
I usually meet clients in a quiet coffee shop on the Upper West Side, unless you prefer another place.
Coaching is my primary business, so clients are my first priority. I understand how stressful dating and especially breakups can be. I enjoy being there for you!
I also make advice videos for my YouTube channel, write columns, and do some TV appearances.
I'm a runner, I live with my boyfriend, and I am a big NFL fan.
Change is a process. I offer coaching packages to give you a discount if you're struggling to get over a breakup and/or committed to becoming the best version of yourself and changing your relationship status. Multiple sessions allow me to assign new actions for you to take as you grow. In-between support is included in all packages.
Sessions have no expiration date and can be used as you feel fits you best. If you're going through a tough time and need additional support you may want several hours a week. Or you can spread minutes out to schedule as things come up. Need two hours? Only want 30 minutes? No problem, I’ll keep a spreadsheet of the time we use and let you know when you’re near the end of your hours.
In-Between Support is included with all coaching packages. You may call, text, or email between sessions if you keep it brief and succinct. I only ask that you please be respectful of my time.
Not sure how or when to respond to a text? Want to contact your ex or the one you're crazy about? Run it by me first. I'll either talk you out of it or make sure it's appropriate. However, please don't conduct full conversations via text or email, I'd rather you'd call. I can't promise I'll always be available, but frequently I am. If I miss you I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.
Please keep the extra calls to 5 or 10 minutes. If you want to speak longer I will apply the extra time to your session hours.
I ask that you pay in full in advance of all sessions. If we meet in person cash can be presented at the time of our meeting.
I accept all major credit cards through Stripe or PayPal (my company's name is JuneGem, LLC). Simply click your desired payment method. WooCommerce securely handles all payments.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. I will be notified of your payment and contact you to set up an appointment.
I also accept mobile transfers via Venmo (Donna-Barnes-NY) or Zelle.
