Encouragement Sessions with Demetria

Encouragement Sessions are faith-centered conversations designed to provide support, clarity, and encouragement during life’s transitions, challenges, and seasons of growth.

Rooted in Demetria Gilkey’s spiritual gift of encouragement, these sessions create space for honest conversation, reflection, and practical faith-centered guidance for individuals seeking peace, clarity, healing, and renewed perspective.

Demetria’s approach combines biblical insight, real-life wisdom, compassionate listening, and encouragement to help individuals navigate difficult seasons while remaining grounded in faith and purpose.

These sessions are not clinical counseling, therapy, or mental health treatment, and no diagnoses or medical advice are provided. Optional prayer and spiritual encouragement may be included upon request.

Sessions are conducted virtually and may last up to 60 minutes.

Demetria and I met many years ago in networking events. We had a very high-level professional relationship until she shifted and became a life coach. I had the privilege of working with her 1:1 at a time that I didn’t know or acknowledge what I was really looking for or what, if anything, I needed. We discovered that I suffered from an imposter syndrome that I wasn’t allowing myself to openly be a Christian. I didn’t recognize that I was holding back my authentic self. Demetria’s coaching allowed me permission to let go of the world’s prejudgment in the professional environment. Her beautiful spirit and energy continue to keep me motivated for God’s purpose of my life.
