A little clarity about what coaching is, and what it is not.
Last updated: May 29, 2026
Coaching is a partnership for growth
Sprouts Life Coaching LLC, founded by Darci Shin, provides life and mindset coaching. Coaching is a supportive, forward-looking partnership that helps you raise your awareness, clarify what you want, and take steps toward your own goals.
Coaching is not therapy or treatment
Coaching is not psychotherapy, counseling, psychological or psychiatric care, or medical treatment of any kind. It is not a substitute for the advice, diagnosis, or treatment of a licensed mental health professional, physician, or other qualified provider.
Darci Shin may hold professional roles and credentials in education and mental health settings. Those roles are separate from Sprouts Life Coaching. Working with Sprouts Life Coaching does not create a therapeutic, clinical, or medical relationship.
No guarantees
Personal growth depends on many factors, including your own effort and circumstances. Sprouts Life Coaching does not promise or guarantee any specific result or outcome. Any examples shared are for illustration only.
