By experience
- Entry$75 to $150/hr
- Experienced$150 to $300/hr
- Senior$300 to $600/hr
What published rates actually look like
Session rates collected directly from coaches publishing their prices ran from $99 to $280, with most clustering between $99 and $280. The spread is the useful part: the top of the range is not a typo, and neither is the bottom. Verified sample · n=35
This is a small sample, so treat it as evidence of spread rather than of the typical rate.
