Relationship Coaching

World Renowned Sex and Relationship Educator Reid Mihalko

I highly recommend him both as educator and coach — I did go to him once with something I’d been stuck on for years, and was shocked at how much progress/change I was able to make with just one session. (I was able to stay unstuck after that, so didn’t need to go back, but would not hesitate to do so with other problems.)

~ Karoline [More Testimonials]

Thanks for being interested in working with me on a one-on-one basis or as a couple! Here’s how coaching with me works…

Basic Session Info

What is it Gonna Cost Me and How Do We Do It?

How? And How Long?

Sessions can take place either over the phone, on video chat software such as Skype, or in person when convenient. Sessions typically last from 60 to 90-minutes.

Payment:

Cost for all sessions are on a sliding scale.

Why? Two reasons…

  1. How do you put a price tag on someone having the relationship and love life they’ve always wanted? I haven’t been able to figure that one out yet. Every time I try, all I come up with is the tag line to those Master Card commercials: Priceless.
  2. People who can afford to pay more allow me to work with those who can’t. Everyone wins. I know, it sounds a tad Socialist, but it’s the best solution I’ve come up with yet. Sliding scale, that is, not Socialism.

Reid asks that you pay what you can afford and pay at time of booking via PayPal to secure your slot. Payments can be made to workshops@reidmihalko.com. Your support in this is appreciated by all and it’s all on an honor system. Thanks in advance!

Session Fees range from $150-$5ooo per session.

Did I just read that right? $5K for one session? You’d be surprised what some people can afford and what results working with me can create! Add to that the fact that some folks will only take someone seriously if they cost alot and, violá, sliding scale seems the wisest choice.

But, seriously. Who is worth $5k for 90-minutes?! It has been my experience that putting a dollar sign on something so integral to having a fulfilling life as your sexual expression and your romantic relationships is impossible. Really, think about something many of us take for granted like breathing or walking. Being able to breathe freely for the rest of your life or walk without pain is super valuable to someone who has horrible asthma or suffers from severe back and knee challenges. Quality of Life isn’t something you put an hourly rate on. But you can ask yourself, “If I could afford to pay any amount, what is the actual value of having the relationship life of MY dreams?” How much is living and loving without shame worth to you? How about feeling confident in the bedroom? What about creating a relationship that actually makes you the happiest you’ve ever been, one where you don’t have to hide who you are or fear that your partner will leave you? What would you gladly pay to have that for the next ten, twenty, forty years?

How much is living and loving without shame worth to you? How about feeling confident in the bedroom?

And the best thing about what I teach and the work that we will do, is that these skills and the kind of self-confidence and freedom you get from applying them flows into the rest of your life! I know, it sounds hokey and very Tony Robbins-esque, but it’s true.

So, to make this answer even more lengthy, my time and what I’m actually worth per hour isn’t something one can calculate. (Maybe Google has an algorithm for it, but I don’t.) My sliding scale isn’t based on the worth of me helping you achieve your dreams and letting go of your fears. I price my work on what you can afford and what allows me to run my business, take time off so I can be rested for my clients, and have money to donate to my causes. And, I offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee on everything I do, so if I suck, all you have to do is ask and all you lost was your time. Really. I’m serious. I am worth it, and so are you! Pay what you can and I’ll trust that the rest will work out. It has so far and I have worked with alot of people!

Booking Your Slot

Unless otherwise arranged, your session slot(s) is not secured until paid for.

24-hr Cancelation Policy: I realize that schedules sometimes change last minute and I trust that you realize that our time together is valuable. With this in mind, please respect my 24-hr cancellation policy .

Please alert me, asap, of your cancellation via phone at 917.207.4554. Leave a voice mail if I can’t pick up and I will get back to you as soon as I can to reschedule your session.

In the event of less-than-24-hour notice, you will be charged for your session. However, if I can move another client into your slot (or you can persuade a friend, partner or colleague to sign up to fill the opening – hint, hint ), then it’s all good and you will not be charged. Your support in this helps both of us since I often cannot move people into others’ slots. But, it’s worth a try, right?

Booking Multiple Sessions with Reid

Every coaching relationship begins with an initial session, but if our first session goes well for the both of us, I want you to already be thinking of booking several sessions. I’ll explain below but wanted to mention it here first that I recommend booking Sessions by the Month.

Monthly Sessions Packages

Together, through 60 to 90-minute sessions of frank and practical one-on-one conversations, you and I will delve into the world of sex and relationships. By getting clear on what you’d like to create, where you are feeling blocked, and what your current relationship reality is, you and I will begin creating the relationship and sex life you’ve always wanted.

How? By learning and putting into practice new communication tools and relationship perspectives, you will begin taking actions in your sex and relationship life that might have previously been blocks or stopping points for you. Working together, you and I will create homework assignments for you to practice using the tools and perspectives discussed.

Expect reading and homework assignments! You will be expected to complete them in a timely manner. Don’t tell me that your dog ate your homework, alright?

Monthly Session Package Schedules:

Unless discussed and planned out otherwise, here’s how Monthly Packages work… Each monthly cycle consists of three weeks on, one week off, with 60 to 90-minute sessions on the “on” weeks, homework and self-exploration assignments, unlimited email correspondence, and quick phone check-ins. We can either meet in person or work over the phone/Sykpe as works for you and us.

Please remember that I travel a lot and won’t be able to meet with you face to face always. Of course, if you want to fly me in for our sessions, I’m probably not going to say no, but we should discuss the best ways to leverage such an arrangement. Just ask.

Monthly Session Package Costs:

Monthly packages are also on a sliding-scale system and cost $400-$15,000/month . If you would like to secure 3-months in advance, please figure out what you can pay per month and deduct 10% as an incentive .

With every payment in full for each 1-month commitment, Reid would like to gift you with a FREE 60-Minute SESSION for the friend, partner, or colleague of your choice as a way of saying thank you for believing in our work together. Commit to 3-months and that’s three free sessions for three people you care about!

Custom Packages

While Monthly Sessions and their conversational, 60 to 90-minute sessions and homework-based approach to coaching covers most people’s needs, occasionally the need for a custom package comes up. I’m always willing to work with individuals and to find something that works for everyone, just ask.

Recommendations

Occasionally, I may recommend that you see someone for work in areas, or when a “change of face” might unblock you in a certain area. While not mandatory, I ask that you seriously consider my recommendation. And, FYI, I’ve been known to take clients on field trips too. (I’m crazy like that!)

How Long Should I Work With Reid?

Most of my clients, I’ve found, experience peaking results at, or around, their three month mark in working with me, and most are usually ready to “leave the nest” and cease working together on a monthly basis by the three or six month mark. After that, some people book a session here and there for “tune ups” and to just check in, but they’ve succeeded in grasping what they needed and it’s time to take the training wheels off and send ‘em down the block on their own.

Thus, based on my experience, I highly recommend to all of my new clients that they seriously think of committing to three months of coaching.

Why three months?

First, you save a little money by booking a 3-moth package. Secondly, working with me for just a month or by booking sporadic sessions “here and there” ends up really working against you. Three session (just one month) usually isn’t enough time to go very deep and anchor any new behaviors and sustainable changes. Sporadic sessions can leave too much time in between session for tools and techniques to really “take.”

Booking a 3-month package ensures that you have a set time slot (for a set period of time that won’t go to someone else) which gives us a routine and a structure that’s long enough to go deep and get some serious work accomplished. When it comes to your love life, that makes a difference!

Reid’s Type of Coaching

The type of coaching I do is much more “tweaking” and “upgrading” than “overhauling” people’s lives. Rarely do I work with clients for more than six months at the 3-session per month level of intensity. Why? Besides the fact that most people are ready to practice what they’ve learned after the 3 to 6 month mark and don’t “need” me anymore, if someone needs more than six months to get their relationship life up and soaring, then the type of coaching and support they need is something vastly different than what I specialize in.

What many of my clients do is work intensely with me for three to six months then take everything they’ve learned to a “cruising altitude” in their lives where they continue implementing, integrating, mastering and enjoying what we’ve worked on. After that, what usually happens is that my clients book sessions with me maybe once a month or every other month or so to meet with me. In those sessions we will discover and sketch out and begin working on whatever it is you want to create and manifest next in your love live, and/or whatever you want to add into your bedroom repriotore!

Like life itself, there is always another level or layer to love and intimacy and relationships. At any time you are welcome to hit cruise control and just relax and enjoy the ride. I certainly won’t judge! But when and if you want to expand and explore more, I might be the perfect person to help and I’m here for you!

Other Types of Coaching Basic Info

Besides the usual one-on-one sessions, I offer other types of coaching sessions, too…

Hands-On Body Work

These sessions cover a wide range of areas and topics and are customized on a client-by-client basis. They can last anywhere between 60-minutes and two and a half hours.

Couples Coaching

Couples Coaching , like One-On-One Sessions, usually last between 60 and 90-minutes. Please do not confuse the coaching and education I offer with therapy or counseling. It’s not. I am not a therapist nor am I a counselor.

Private Workshops

Private Workshops may last between 90-minutes and two hours depending on the workshop. Most of my workshop and teleclass offerings are available for private booking for you, your loved ones, your groups and communities. Just ask.

Field Trips

Different than workshops, Field Trips are when you, your partner, and/or your group head out into the world with me for experiential learning that couldn’t happen sitting in a workshop room at some yoga studio or wellness spa.

Examples of Field Trips Reid has had great success with:

Sex Toy Store Tour (Then Drinks and Disscussion):

Meet up with me at your local adult toy store for a personal tour. Get your questions answered. Find out which toys are for what, which are my personal favorites, and which ones I would recommend for you based on what you’re interested in. Let me be your personal sex toy shopper for the night, then, after our tour, pick my brain over drinks for an hour as we all head to a local bar for further discussion. Yay, sex talk!

Bachelor/Bachelorette Party Sex Ed Q & A:

This is one of my favorite field trips to do. Why? ‘Cause bachelor and bachelorette parties are the perfect “excuse” for you to let me answer all your burning questions about sex, love making, understanding men and women, and how to make relationships last. I’m not knocking getting drunk and going to a strip joint, but, really, why not kick off the evening by upgrading your relationship and bedroom Kung-Fu before you go get blitzed!

Professional Mentoring with Educators/Healers

Reid also does mentoring with people who do sex and relationship education. If you work with individuals or couples, design and teach workshops, or need help branding your business, working with the media or taking what you do to the next level, GO HERE for more info.
