FAQ

  • Who do you work with?

    TLDR, no. We do not discriminate on ANY basis when it comes to who we should and should not work with, but there are times where coaching is not the appropriate solution. We typically work with clients aged 25+ who are READY. The best course of action is always a free consultation. (Don’t worry, it’s FREE free.)

    We often say: I’m not for everybody, I’m for somebody.

    Table for 9 is intentionally inclusive and designed to support individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. While we welcome diversity of every kind, we also recognize that coaching is not a one-size-fits all solution for everyone and everything.

    Every potential client deserves a personalized approach, which is why I offer a complimentary consultation to determine if the way I do coaching is the right fit for your unique journey. This initial conversation helps us understand your specific needs and goals, ensuring we can provide the most meaningful support possible. However, my packages and coaching style typically fit women, age ranging from 35-55. This is not a strict guide as my coaching is never one size fits all, or even some.

  • Are you a counselor?

    No. Table for 9 Coaching LLC is a coaching service. Jackie Contessa is not a counselor. Many coaching client attend both coaching session and counseling sessions with a trusted practitioner.

    We specialize in personal development through non-clinical methodologies, focusing on empowering clients to create meaningful, personality-based change in their lives. While we do not provide therapeutic interventions or accept insurance, we maintain a network of licensed counseling professionals and are happy to provide referrals if we believe clinical support would better serve your needs.

  • Are there age restrictions?

    Primarily, our coaching is designed for individuals aged 26+.

    However, we recognize that personal development knows no strict boundaries. We offer some flexibility and case-by-exception opportunities, particularly for driven individuals demonstrating exceptional motivation. If you believe you are really, really ready, and you are over the age of 21, schedule a free consultation as a start.

  • What is the Enneagram? Why do you use it?

    TLDR; The Enneagram is an invitation to do what you would automatically do, differently.

    The Enneagram is a powerful personality system that offers deep insights into motivations, behaviors, and opportunities for personal growth in a way that is digestible and specific. 

    By understanding your Enneagram type, we can craft highly personalized coaching strategies that resonate with your intrinsic personality structure.
