Achieve more of your Potential with Consultations

Welcome to Chicago Mindfulness Institute Consultations

At Chicago Mindfulness Institute, we believe in helping you achieve more of your potential. Our focus is on empowerment: empowering you with knowledge, understanding and self-awareness to create and live the life you want; offering support and understanding so you can live more mindfully, intentionally, and from a broader perspective. When you change your thinking, you can change your life. When you take charge of how you live your life, you become the powerful creator that is at the essence of who you really are.

Q and A about ConsultationS

Why do you call it a consultation and not coaching?

Coaching can mean different things to different people. Yes, there is some coaching involved in this process -- cheerleading would probably be a more accurate word. But the work we do together is not about goal setting. It is an educational process of understanding yourself better so that you can align with what you want and are able to release resistance that may be getting in the way. It can be about developing your intuition; aligning your thoughts and actions with your intentions; communicating with non-physical energies; or talking with Hermaden to gain a deeper understanding of how to successfully collaborate with universal energies. Some people are seeking spiritual advising, or have questions about spiritual topics, and that is offered as well.

Is consulting done in-person, telephone or Zoom?

Most consulting is done through phone appointments. Zoom is available upon request.

How long are appointments?

Appointments are usually one hour. But half hour and ninety-minute appointments are also available.

What is the best way to prepare for an appointment?

Prepare a list of topics and questions in advance. Decide what you want your intention to be for our time together: what do you hope to accomplish with this session?

How much does a session cost?

Appointments for new clients are $100 per hour, $50 per half hour. They can be paid via credit card (Visa/Mastercard), PayPal, Zelle or Venmo.

If you would like to schedule a series of appointments (four or more) and prepay, then a 20% discount is offered. Some people schedule one-time appointments or on an as-needed basis. Others choose to set up monthly, bi-weekly or weekly appointments.
