Understanding the Work

What is Somatic Coaching?

Somatic coaching is a body-centered approach to personal development. Rather than only discussing goals or challenges intellectually, Coach Kaila guides clients to check in with the physical sensations in the body. By learning to listen to your nervous system, you can find deeper healing and move through the world with more authenticity.

What is Reiki and do I need specific beliefs?

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique focused on stress reduction and relaxation. It is a secular practice, meaning it does not require any specific religious or spiritual belief system. It simply requires an openness to relaxation and the movement of energy to support your overall well-being.

Can I combine Coaching and Reiki?

Yes. Many clients find that a blend of both services provides the most support. Kaila can weave Reiki energy work into a coaching session to help ground the body, or you can book them as separate practices depending on what you need most in your journey.

Do I need prior experience with mindfulness or somatic work?

Not at all. Kaila works with individuals at all stages of their journey. Whether you are a long-time practitioner or brand new to the concept of “listening to your body,” Kaila provides a gentle, guided environment to help you learn these tools at your own pace.

Logistics & Finances

How and where do sessions take place?

All private coaching and Reiki sessions are held virtually via Zoom. This allows Coach Kaila to serve a global community—whether you are across the street or across an ocean. All sessions are scheduled in Eastern Time (ET), and Kaila is happy to find a time slot that fits your local schedule.

Does Creative Guidance accept insurance?

No, Creative Guidance does not accept insurance. However, Coach Kaila is committed to accessibility and strives to keep her session rates comparable to a standard specialist co-pay.

Are payment plans available?

Coach Kaila is committed to making her services accessible. While full payment is welcomed, payment plans can be arranged to break the investment into manageable installments. Please mention your interest in a payment plan during your initial intake.

What is the cancellation policy?

Coach Kaila values your time and her own. If you need to reschedule or cancel a session, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a fee.

What happens after I fill out the intake form?

Once you submit your intake form, Coach Kaila will personally review your information and reach out to you via email to schedule a discovery call. This is a no-pressure conversation to see if the chemistry feels right and to discuss how you might work together.
