Top coaches, vetted and connected

lume connects your health coach with your professional coach, so everyone is on the same page

build your perfect team of coaches

Multiply your support by creating your own personal team of coaches, in over 7 specialized areas, to elevate your performance — in work and in life.

  • We’ll ask you about recent major shifts in your life & career, what’s holding you back, how you define success for yourself, and more.

    You’ll also complete an assessment about where you stand across 7 dimensions—so we can pinpoint the biggest gaps between where you are now and where you want to be.

  • Some people prefer a no-BS, direct, challenge-me coaching style for taking action on their goals. Others prefer a safe space for discovery and vulnerability. Many of us are somewhere in-between.

    lume has a diverse array of coaching styles across this spectrum to meet you where you’re at.

  • Finding the right coach for you is about chemistry, energy, and vibes. We pay attention to the personal details and get to know our coaches and members on a human level, so that we can make great matches.

    lume has surfers, globe-trotters, marathon-runners, foodies, and meditators. We love pairing people with complementary interests, hobbies, and vibes.

  • You’ll rank the most important qualities and characteristics you look for in a coach, and highlight any deal-breakers or non-negotiables, so we can find you the best fit.
