FAQs

  • I live in Warragul, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. It's a gorgeous town about an hour from Melbourne. I have a beautiful office in Warragul where we can meet and have in-person sessions. Or, I can meet you wherever YOU are in the world- that's the beauty of Zoom!

  • A Life Coach is some one who meets you where you are at, and supports and empowers you to transform and elevate your future. I help you to set goals and make changes in your life. It's like having your own cheerleader who is fully invested in supporting you to realise and activate your dreams. It's having someone who helps you get un-stuck.

    It's so important to find the right life coach for YOU. Different coaches work with different clients and have different styles. For example, one of my areas of expertise is supporting women who are juggling work/life/balance. A good life coach knows their particular areas of interest and expertise, but we aren't confined to those areas either. Many of my clients are women in this niche, but I also attract teenagers (usually the kids of clients!) who are looking for guidance and support in a nurturing, confidence building environment. I can also work with men. I welcome people of all ages, races, gender identities, backgrounds, belief systems. If we are a match, we are a match.

    Honestly- it's a great idea to book in for a FREE discovery call to see if you are the right match for your potential coach. If you want to chat further about this, please reach out!

  • I am open to working with anyone who feels aligned with my values and feels connected with me. I am experienced working with kids, teenagers and adults. Previous clients have been business owners, older teenagers, teachers, Uni students, women in mid-life doing the juggle, etc.

    I find many of my clients are drawn to me because they are like me; I work with a lot of female entrepreneurs, who are also mums juggling work/life, who are ready for a cheerleader in their corner. I am an entrepreneur, I am a multi-business owner, I am a Mum, I have experienced burn out, I am always working towards achieving the most beautiful, most balanced life I can.

    It’s also true that opposites attract, and I also have clients who decide to work with me because I am different to them.

    I used to be a teacher so I have a real passion for working with and supporting young people to set and work towards their goals. I connect beautifully with young adults and coach ages 16+. This is a pivotal time in a young person’s life; what to study, what the future looks like, who am I, how do I fit in the world, what doesn't the future hold? The big questions! I love working with young adults to build their confidence, their intuition and their courage.

    In short- there’s no ‘ideal’ client for me that fits into a box. My ideal clients are unique humans, who are all seeking coaching to elevate their mindset, confidence and reshape their future. If you want some further info on this, or whether you would be suitable, send me an email! I would love to chat. Email me: hello@janesahhar.com.au

  • I love this question. It's really important to make sure whoever you are working with knows their stuff.

    I studied Life Coach Training with the renowned Beautiful You Coaching Academy (BYCA), a certified, ICF Accredited, internationally recognised course.

    I also hold a Bachelor of Arts from University of Melbourne, with a double major in Creative Writing and Indigenous Studies.

    I completed my Diploma in Education and I am a registered teacher with the Victorian Institute of Teaching.

    I work two days a week as an Educational Therapist at The Village Health, working with kids and teenagers.

    I work in my own businesses on my other days, including my Life Coaching business and Friendie, a tech company my husband and I founded in 2016.

    I have completed many many other short courses and studies, listed in my About Me page, and I am always reading, learning and connecting so I can be the most aligned coach and human I can be.

  • The answer is TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

    The quick answer is:

    -A counsellor helps you LOOK BACK.

    -A Life Coach is about the PRESENT to the FUTURE.

    If you have things to unpack from your past, and/or your mental health feels unstable, a counsellor (or mental health practitioner) will be the right choice for you.

    If you are ready and excited to make positive changes to your life, by noticing where you are at NOW and setting GOALS for where you want to be- a coach could be the right choice for you.

    Now, as a 40 year old human, l have lived a life, and I understand the roller coaster we are all on! As a coach, I am trauma informed and I can hold space for things that come up as a result of our work. But unpacking the past is not what we do together.

    I am so happy to discuss this further with you if you would like to reach out. If you aren't sure but would like to make sure, book a FREE discovery call. Within that process, you will complete a questionnaire first and together we will figure out pretty quickly where you are best suited!

    I've got your back.

  • It's kind of important to know, and also so annoying when you come to websites like this and you have to jump through hoops to find out how much things cost. I'm super transparent with my pricing for my standard offerings. You can click the link “BOOK IN” and find out all the costs involved in the drop down menu. As I am a newer coach, my prices are lower to begin with and they will rise in time. I want to be totally transparent on this, so you know that if you are thinking about it, don’t wait too long to get in touch as prices will change.

    I have different packages available, such as a single session, a 3 month series and a 6 month series. The most popular option is the 3 month series- it’s the perfect amount of time to set goals, create actions and achieve sustainable, joyful, empowering change. Payment plans are available, and you get a discount if you pay the full amount upfront!

    I can also curate the right offering for you if you want something custom for your workplace- just reach out and contact me at jane@janesahhar.com.au.

    AND I would love to chat if you are looking for a guest speaker, a PD, small group training or a podcast guest! These are some of my FAVOURITE things to do!

  • Super easy- you just head to my “BOOK IN” page. Fill out the questionnaire, send it back to me, and I will be in touch within 24 hours to set up a Discovery Call so we can get the ball rolling. Or, if you want to have a chat or ask a question, scroll further down the page- you can send me a message using the contact form, and I will reply as soon as possible.

    Basically, the process is:

    1) Fill out your questionnaire so I can get to know you a bit and prepare for our call.

    2) We will lock in a time for a free 30 minute call, to chat about your hopes and goals and challenges, and so you can see if you are the right fit for me and the right fit for coaching.

    3) If you decide coaching with me is for you, we will book in all our sessions ahead of time, and get started! (And this is the time when payment begins - and you begin your journey!)

  • ABSOLUTELY! if you would like to attend sessions face-to-face (or a combo of in-person and video meetings), I am located in Warragul, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.
