What coaches on this site charge
Prices from live Coachivas profiles
These numbers come from live, listed Coachivas coaches who publish a session rate. They are what women on this site are asking, not a national salary survey.

The highest fees usually belong to a tight niche or a long prior career. Always check whether the number is per session or per 60 minutes.
How the bill is written
Per session, per hour, per month
A session is often 45 to 60 minutes. Some coaches quote an hourly rate. Some quote a flat session fee that is a bit shorter or longer. Ask before you pay.
A month of coaching is usually a package: four sessions, paid together, sometimes at a small discount to the single-session price. That is the number people mean when they ask how much a life coach costs per month.
A one-off call is useful if you want to test the fit. It is a poor way to change a habit. Most of the work happens between sessions.
If you are still shopping
Typical US ranges
Newer coaches often charge $50 to $100 a session. A working part-time practice is often $75 to $150. Coaches with a clear niche commonly sit at $100 to $250. Executive and specialty work can run $200 to $500 or more.
Look for a specialty that matches your situation, and a coach who can tell you what the first month looks like.
Free or near-free coaching exists in some nonprofits and training programs. It is rare on a marketplace. If the price is $20, ask what you are buying.
Two different questions
What you pay vs what a coach earns
This page is what you pay as a client. How much a coach should charge is the number she publishes. How much life coaches make is what is left after empty weeks. Those last two pages are for coaches.
You are not paying their annual salary in one invoice. You are paying for a block of attention and a method. If that still feels steep, start with a short package and stop if the fit is wrong.
How to find a life coach
Price follows the specialty
Browse by the problem, then compare rates
Career, burnout, and executive work often sit higher than a general life-coaching session. Look at the specialty page first, then the fee on the profile.

Cost questions
How much does a life coach cost per hour?
Many coaches quote a session, not a clock hour. When they do publish an hourly number, general life coaching often lands between $75 and $200. Specialty and executive work runs higher.
How much does a life coach cost per session?
On Coachivas, published rates on live profiles are the honest local answer when they load. Across the US, a single 1:1 session is commonly $75 to $200.
How much does a life coach cost per month?
A simple month is four sessions. Multiply the session fee, then ask if a package discount applies. Some coaches sell longer programs. Those are a different quote.
How much does a good life coach cost?
Fit matters more than a high fee. Pay enough that the coach treats the work as real. Do not assume the highest fee is the most skilled. Read the specialty and the reviews.
Does Coachivas set the price?
No. Each coach sets her fee, and that is the price you pay. If you pay on Coachivas, Coachivas takes 12% from her Stripe charge, not as an extra on your bill. If she uses Calendly, she keeps the full fee and you pay her the way she asks.
