Sponsors sponsor for free. Coaching is a not a free service. They aren't the same thing, but not many people know this including most 12 steppers.
This is what's so great about having the freedom to start your own business and make all the rules - including the amount you're going to get paid.
Evaluate and determine whether or not what she's offering is worth her asking price or move on. What other people think is irrelevant. A lot of people can't afford $5000 for that kind of instruction - but plenty can, too.
Did you ask if she would consider offering a discount?

Of course! It seems there's a feeling in here that just because some people need help is because they are in a place of lack of money too, which is not true.
A lot of people need help and coaching and DO HAVE LOTS OF MONEY. Or they are capable of making more money to invest in themselves.
That shows a lot of respect for themselves and just the process of paying a high fee and getting the money for it, is empowering in itself and is already part of the coaching journey.
