Frequently Asked Questions
& Terms and Conditions
SAPPHOLOGY™ is a coaching service designed specifically for lesbian women. While I welcome all who resonate with this space, my expertise and lived experience are rooted in supporting those who identify as lesbian and are seeking to explore their identity, relationships, and personal empowerment from that perspective
🌈 Why I Focus on Lesbian Women
Tomboys and Tiaras and SAPPHOLOGY™ was created with one clear intention: to provide a dedicated, empowering space where lesbian women feel truly seen, supported, and celebrated
As a lesbian woman myself, I know how often our experiences are overlooked - even within the wider LGBTQ+ community. From navigating identity later in life, to facing societal expectations, to seeking authentic relationships and deeper self-understanding - we carry unique stories and strengths that deserve specialist attention.
This coaching space isn’t just inclusive—it’s intentional. I focus exclusively on lesbian women because I believe in the power of:
Shared lived experience
Culturally competent support
And a coaching framework (SAPPHOLOGY™) that speaks directly to our journeys
It’s not about excluding others - it’s about making sure lesbian women have a space that’s finally just for them.
If you’re seeking a coach who truly gets it, who blends personal insight with professional tools, and who champions your growth unapologetically - you’re in the right place.
FAQs
1. What is life coaching and SAPPHOLOGY™?
Our life coaching sessions and our SAPPOHOLOGY coaching framework is a holistic, identity-affirming personal development service for lesbian and sapphic women. It supports you in discovering who you are, what you want, and how to live, love, and thrive authentically.
2. Who is this coaching for?
Coaching is for lesbian and sapphic women at any stage of their self-discovery journey, including those coming out later in life. Whether you’re exploring identity, relationships, purpose, or empowerment, you’re welcome here.
3. What can I expect from a session?
Sessions are tailored to your needs and typically follow the SAPPHOLOGY™ method—starting with identity work and moving through empowerment, mindset, purpose, and connection. Expect deep reflection, affirming guidance, tools for growth, and lots of encouragement.
4. How long is each session?
Each 1:1 coaching session lasts approximately 60 minutes. Extended or intensive sessions can be arranged upon request.

All sessions are currently held online via Zoom/Teams for accessibility and flexibility.
6. What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching is future-focused, action-oriented, and centered on growth. It’s not a replacement for therapy. If you’re navigating trauma or mental health concerns, I recommend working alongside a licensed therapist.

Yes—accessibility matters. Payment plans and limited sliding scale spots are available. Please get in touch to discuss what works for you.
