ACES PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL COACHING
Coaching for the life you’re building.
Realistic action. Genuine connection. A coach who understands that where you started is not the full measure of where you can go.
ACES Life Coaching is a one-to-one partnership that combines reflection, cultural responsiveness, resilience skills, and goal-setting. We begin with your priorities—not a formula.
PERSONALIZED AREAS OF FOCUS
A supportive place to move forward.
Life transitions, identity & purpose
Navigate change, rebuild confidence, clarify values, strengthen daily habits, and make thoughtful decisions after major life shifts.
- Transitions, separation, change, and fresh starts
- Self-compassion, boundaries, and confidence
- Personal goals, habits, and motivation
Adversity-informed resilience
Work toward hopeful, sustainable actions while honoring lived adversity, cultural identity, support systems, and environmental barriers.
- Strengths and protective connections
- Self-advocacy and resources
- Coping-oriented everyday routines—not trauma treatment
Career, education & leadership
Use your professional strengths while making decisions about career direction, continuing education, communication, leadership, and self-determination.
- Career and professional identity
- Goal planning and accountability
- Navigating organizational or systemic barriers
Men, emerging adults & families
Support for the work of becoming: parenting, relationships, healthy communication, lived foster-care experience, reinvention, and developing practical life skills.
- Fatherhood and responsible choices
- Relationships, belonging, and boundaries
- Skills for navigating major responsibilities
NOT JUST ENCOURAGEMENT
A method for meaningful progress.
Our founder-created ACES framework helps clients put strengths to work: Attitude & Approach, Connections & Communication, Energy (body, mind, spirit), and Strength & Skills.
We also examine adversity, context, agency, and strategic action—because lasting growth takes more than individual willpower. It benefits from supportive people, realistic opportunity, and manageable next steps.
We may define a goal together, identify barriers and supports, practice communication or planning skills, choose an achievable action, and review progress without shame or guarantees.
HOW ENGAGEMENT WORKS
A collaborative process from the first conversation.
1 · Connect
Request a free discovery call to talk generally about your goals, priorities, fit, and preferred format. No confidential intake details are needed in the first inquiry.
2 · Agree
If we choose to work together, we review the coaching agreement, rates, privacy expectations, location or video arrangements, and scheduling terms.
3 · Practice
Use individual sessions, generally around 60 minutes, for reflection, skill practice, practical plans, and accountability.
4 · Review
Revisit goals and next steps. Progress is not guaranteed, and coaching can be adjusted or discontinued according to the agreement.
Location: Online sessions by arrangement and limited Oʻahu meetings where appropriate. Standard historical individual rate: $100 per approximately one-hour session, with case-by-case sliding-scale availability to be confirmed.
Coaching is not psychotherapy or legal representation.
Your well-being and informed choices matter. ACES does not offer diagnosis, psychotherapy, crisis care, custody or forensic evaluations, legal advice, or representation. When those services are indicated, an appropriately licensed professional or other resource is the appropriate next step.
You can begin with esperanza.
You do not have to figure it all out before reaching out.
