Our Idea of Meditation Coaching Is a Little Different

Most people don’t quit meditation because they’re lazy or “not spiritual enough.” They quit because the path gets fuzzy.

At first, meditation feels simple. Sit down, watch the breath, calm down.

Then weeks or months pass and something changes. You start wondering…

Am I doing this right?
Why am I not getting the results I expected?
Should I be doing a different technique?
What does “progress” even look like?
Am I stuck or just imagining I’m stuck?
Is this helping my life or am I just collecting sessions?

Thos confusion is the main reason people hire a meditation coach.

Meditation coaching is mostly about clarity. Clarity about what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and what to do next.

Simple Coaching Process:

We meet on Google Meet
We map what you’ve been doing
We define your goals
You leave with a simple plan and next steps

What Our Meditation Coaching Is Like

Meditation coaching is a one-to-one session where we untangle your current situation and get you pointed in a clear direction based on your own goals.

Sessions are goal based and focused. This is not a long program designed to keep you dependent. Vern doesn’t enjoy keeping track of people, ensuring you’re doing your practice, or having regular check ins that are scheduled weeks or months beforehand.

Our Meditation Coaching is Practical.

We figure out what you’ve been doing
We identify what’s working and what’s not
We define the result you actually want
We build a plan that fits your real life
You leave with a clear method and a clear next step

Who Is this For?

This is for you if any of this is true

You’ve been meditating a while but you’re unsure if it’s doing anything besides giving you a good feeling for the length of your session.
You keep switching techniques and never build real momentum or progress.
You’ve had odd experiences and don’t know what they mean.
You feel stuck, scattered, or plateaued.
You want deeper concentration and stability, but your practice is inconsistent.
You want a clear map that matches your goals, not generic advice you can read anywhere.

What a Coaching Session Looks Like

We meet on Google Meet video chat.

A typical call is about 60-90 minutes
Sometimes it takes 2–3 hours if there’s a lot of history, a lot of questions, or a complicated situation.

The session has a simple structure

1 – We take notes on your full meditation background

We start with what you’ve actually been doing.

We’ll cover things like

How long you’ve been practicing
Your current technique or techniques
Your schedule and consistency
What happens when you sit – what style(s) of meditation do you use?
What you think is “the problem” right now
Any breakthroughs, weird experiences, or rough patches
What you’ve tried already, and what made you stop or drift

2 – We define your real goals

A lot of people think their goal is “be more mindful.”

Cool, but what does that mean in real life

We make your goals specific.

We define

Short-term goals
Long-term goals

Examples of goals people often have

Less anxiety and reactivity in daily life
Better sleep and nervous system calm
Stronger concentration and less mental noise
A stable daily practice that actually sticks
Clear progress toward deeper states of meditation
Understanding what past experiences were and how to work with them

3 – We build your plan

This is the main value.

You leave the coaching call knowing exactly what to do.

Your plan will include

Your primary technique
How long to sit and how often
What to focus on during the sit
What to do when the mind rebels
What to track so you can tell if it’s working
What to stop doing that’s wasting your time
How to troubleshoot common problems

This plan is designed to be simple enough that you’ll actually follow it, and clear enough that you won’t be guessing every day.

4 – Q and A, Troubleshooting, and Tightening the Plan

Later, in another call or through email or WhatsApp we can clean up any loose ends.

You ask questions
I answer directly
We adjust the plan until it feels obvious and doable.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Here’s my view

I don’t sell “12 sessions” or “30 sessions.”

Meditation doesn’t work like that. Most people don’t need hand-holding forever
They need clarity, then they need to go practice

Usually

After the first session, you’ll know if you need a second
After the second session, most people are very clear and just go do it

If your situation is more complex, we can do more, but the goal is always the same

Make you independent
Give you a clean plan
Get you back to actual practice instead of endless searching

Why people get stuck without coaching

This is the pattern I see constantly. People start with a decent plan. Then, over time they…

procrastinate
get inconsistent
add extra techniques “just in case”
chase new methods
dilute the practice until it becomes vague and ineffective

Then they end up right back where they started, confused and unsure if they’re on the right track

Coaching is the reset button. Not motivation, not hype. It’s a reset back to a clear path

What you’ll leave with

By the end of the 1-2 sessions you should have

a clear understanding of where you are right now
a clear destination, both short-term and long-term
a practice plan built for your goals
a way to measure progress without guessing
a troubleshooting approach for the problems that normally derail you

What to do next

If you’re interested, reach out and tell me

how long you’ve been meditating
what style or technique you’re doing
what your biggest confusion or sticking point is right now
what you want to get out of meditation in the next few months

Then we’ll schedule a Google Meet call and get you sorted.
