Frequently Asked Questions

Sunshower Collective is a coaching and consulting practice for whatever season you're in: growing a wellness business, running one, recovering from burnout, or simply learning to understand your own patterns and energy again. Every framework combines real clinical training in Chinese medicine with real business, marketing, and operations experience.

Both, depending on which framework fits you. Practice Consulting and Business Consulting are strategic and operational: think structured frameworks, written recommendations, and hands-on implementation support. Burnout Recovery Coaching and TCM-Informed Wellness Coaching are personal and reflective: think guided sessions, pattern recognition, and sustainable behavior change. Neither is therapy, medical care, or legal or financial advice.

If you're looking for clinical treatment, a medical diagnosis, or licensed therapy, this isn't the right fit, and I'll say so directly and help point you toward the right kind of provider. This work is coaching and consulting: powerful, structured, and personal, but not a substitute for licensed care.

Start with a free discovery call. If you're not sure going in, that's fine. Most people know within the first few minutes of talking through what's actually going on which of the four frameworks fits, or whether a single session is enough on its own.

Yes. Sometimes a Practice Consulting client realizes what's actually going on is burnout, or a Burnout Coaching client realizes they need operational help first. We'll talk honestly if that shift happens, and adjust the engagement together.

Anyone curious about their energy, sleep, stress, or patterns, not just people in crisis or already familiar with Chinese medicine. Unlike Burnout Recovery Coaching, which is built specifically for healers and high-performing caregivers, this framework is open to anyone who wants a more intentional, whole-person way of understanding themselves.

No. The training shapes the questions asked and the patterns noticed, but the sessions themselves stay in plain, everyday language: energy, sleep, rhythm, nourishment, and rest. No clinical terminology required.

No. Full payment is due before Session 1 for every offer. This is a deliberate choice, not an oversight: commitment matters to how this work actually lands, and splitting payment tends to split commitment right along with it. If cost feels like a real barrier, reach out and we can talk honestly about which offer fits your budget right now.

Please give at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel a session. Across a full 10-session flagship arc, you have one no-penalty late cancellation or no-show; after that, sessions canceled with less than 24 hours' notice count as used.

Most sessions are 60 minutes, with the first and final sessions of a 10-session arc running slightly longer (60 to 75 minutes). Flagship programs are typically scheduled weekly or biweekly, whichever fits your life or your practice's rhythm.

Everything is virtual, held over video call. You'll receive a calendar invite with the link after booking or scheduling.

Right now, Sunshower Collective works virtually with clients across the U.S. International availability is coming soon; if you're outside the U.S. and interested, reach out and I'll let you know as soon as that opens up.

Most flagship programs include a small, specific action or reflection to carry into the days between sessions, never busywork. If something significant comes up between sessions, you're welcome to reach out by email or WhatsApp.
