Kind words

What people say about Darci

A valued friend, mother, co-worker, neighbor, relative. A person you want in your inner circle. This is Darci Shin. Darci and I have been friends for 35 years. This lady has been an asset to me since we became co-workers at a social service agency.

Darci is a very knowledgeable woman, and she will always make time to listen and help anyone who wants her assistance. She thrives in implementing her knowledge to find a solution for anyone struggling with a problematic situation. Darci is a solid citizen who will stand up for truth and fairness. Our world today needs more leaders like Darci. Her dignity and integrity are two outstanding qualities she lives by.

Olivia Flores

Friend of 35 years and former colleague

I have known Darci for over thirty years, first as a co-worker in Ironwood High School's Child-Oriented Occupational Program. I was the Director, and she was a teacher and Coordinator in our on-campus preschool. Now she has become a lifelong friend.

Darci's job was to provide a safe environment that encouraged learning and social development in our four-year-old children. With our high school students, she was responsible for grading, monitoring, and modeling teaching and discipline skills. Communicating with parents, children, students, co-workers, and school staff was of critical importance. Proactive problem solving and behavior modification were two of her most appreciated talents.

I will always be thankful for her skills, wisdom, and support.

Questions

Common questions

Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching is a supportive, forward-looking partnership focused on awareness, goals, and growth. It is not therapy or medical or mental health treatment. If you are in crisis or need clinical care, please see a licensed professional, and read our disclaimer for details.

What actually happens in a session?

We talk. I listen closely, ask questions that raise your awareness, and share tools and strategies tailored to where you are. You leave with a clearer sense of what you want and a gentle next step you can actually take.

What if I do not know what I want yet?

That is the most common place to start, and it is completely okay. Most people I talk to cannot answer that question at first. Discovering it, at your own pace, is exactly the work we do together.

How many sessions will I need?

There is no set number. Some people come for a single clarity session, others walk a longer journey over time. We start with a free conversation and find the rhythm that fits your life.

Do we meet in person or online?

Both. I am based in Honolulu and offer in-person sessions, as well as sessions by video, whatever feels most comfortable for you.

How much does it cost?

We talk about rates and packages on your free discovery call, once we understand what kind of support fits you best. There is no pressure and no obligation.
