From first nerves to safe arrival

Most fear of flying isn't about the flight — it's about not knowing what's normal and what's not. That's the gap Flight Confidence Coach fills.

Pre-flight

Before your flight

A one-on-one coaching session to identify your specific triggers, understand what actually happens on a commercial aircraft, and build a personalized plan for your flight.

In-flight

During your flight

Text me directly from 35,000 feet. When turbulence hits or an unfamiliar sound startles you, a real commercial pilot texts back — calmly explaining exactly what is happening.

Post-flight

After you land

A post-flight debrief to process your experience, celebrate your progress, and build confidence for your next flight. Currently complimentary for all new clients.

The Cleared for Takeoff Guarantee

You've already shown courage by being here. If your pre-flight session doesn't leave you feeling ready to board with confidence, I'll refund every penny. Connectivity at 35,000 feet isn't always perfect — but my commitment to you always is.

Hi, I'm Tammy.

Commercial Pilot · Certified Anxiety Coach

I've spent nearly 14,000 hours in cockpits — from regional turboprops to wide-body jets flying internationally. I've seen it hundreds of times: a passenger gripping the armrest, eyes closed, just trying to survive the flight.

I became a pilot because I love everything about flying. I created Flight Confidence Coach because I realized fearful flyers deserve more than a glass of wine and a white-knuckle grip on the armrest. Life is too short to not go flying.

Here's what makes this different: I'm available to you before your flight, during it via real-time text, and after you land. When turbulence hits and things feel overwhelming — you text me. A real pilot texts back.

No app. No algorithm. A real human who knows exactly what that sound was, why the plane just did that, and why you are going to be completely fine.
