Sturdier Self Starter Kit

Reach Out to Book | Keith Aron Transformational Coaching

Who couldn’t use a little reinforcement for their sense of self, especially during these troubling times when queer and trans identities are being actively undermined? This package of six 30-minute coaching sessions has been intentionally crafted to identify and tend to the areas where our sense of self can easily start to sag if not consistently supported. It’s a great package for clients who are looking to cover maximal territory in a minimum of time, without breaking the bank.

$150-$180 sliding scale for Bloom patrons only. Reach out to Keith at keitharon.com and schedule a free exploratory call. Be sure to mention the Bloom Fall/Winter Guide package.
