Not at all. The First Steps insights are here to give you a feel for each pathway. Many clients begin without knowing exactly which option fits. That’s why we start with a Holos Path | Discover consultation — a short session to explore your situation and recommend the best starting point.

Each pathway includes three short lessons (10–15 minutes each) with practical tools and reflection prompts. They’re designed for busy professionals, so you can complete them at your own pace and apply the insights immediately. These are sent via email and can be completed when you have time.

Holos Path offers coaching, not therapy. Coaching is forward-focused: helping you restore balance, gain clarity, and achieve your goals. It can be used in combination with therapy or as a stand alone tool to help you make positive steps. If you are experiencing severe mental health challenges, therapy may be a better fit and we’ll always be transparent about referring you to the right type of support if needed.

At the end of the insights, you’ll receive an invitation to a Begin consultation. In that session, we’ll discuss whether Restore, Evolve, or Transform is the right path for you. There’s no obligation, it’s simply the next step if you’d like more tailored support.

Pricing depends on the pathway you choose and the number of sessions. Most clients work with us weekly or bi-weekly across 4–12 sessions. We’ll walk you through the options in your consultation, so you have complete clarity before committing.

Many clients notice a shift even after the first session— more clarity, less overwhelm, or simple tools that immediately reduce stress. Deeper changes such as energy recovery, career direction usually take 4–12 sessions, depending on your goals.

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. Many clients come to us when they’re noticing early warning signs — low energy, poor sleep, stress spilling into family life, or lack of motivation. Addressing these early makes recovery faster and career growth easier. We wish we had started earlier on our own personal recoveries, which is why we started Holos!

That’s exactly why coaching matters. Sessions are designed to be focused and practical just 45 minutes weekly or twice a month. Think of it as an investment that is shorter than a TV show that creates clarity and energy for the rest of your week and starts your pathway to a more fulfilled life!
