DNA Coaching Services: Expert, Confidential DNA Advice
Sometimes, what you need to make progress with your important DNA questions is to get some expert advice. Our Coaching consultations point you in the right direction to answer YOUR specific DNA questions and situations in a confidential setting. We don’t do the research for you–we help YOU continue your own DNA discovery process.
Book a live, 30-minute or 60-minute confidential video consultation with one of our expert DNA coaches! During your time together, your coach will address your specific DNA question by reviewing your test results with you. You will receive insights and recommended next steps for your specific situation. The service includes a recording of your session plus an email that summarizes key points, so you have a permanent record of what you learned. Coaching services are available for personal research questions only, not for professional researchers who want to verify client work.
Here’s what people are saying about our Coaching Services:
Thank you so much for your ideas regarding my Schieber/Koelfgen research! Our Zoom session was wonderful and I have a path forward now. Your ability to communicate DNA information in plain English makes you unique and I greatly appreciate that as I am not science oriented.
Even though I’m a…fairly experienced genealogist, Diahan’s insight and expertise were invaluable in breaking through a decades-old brick wall. I have never felt like money was so well spent or time so well used.
My consultation helped me to better understand how to use my DNA test to find missing relatives and opened avenues to explore that I never would have come up with on my own. I highly recommend this service.
I have literally spent hundreds of hours poring over DNA matches to solve a brick wall in my research. Because of how time consuming it is, I was a little skeptical of how much help it would be for the expert to spend 60 minutes looking at my information. Now I know, it is because of high level experience, expertise and organizational skills. Michelle was absolutely amazing and well prepared for our meeting! She was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I can now see a clear path to organize my data and to gather the other information I need to help me solve my genealogy mystery. I highly recommend her services!

Worth every penny. You have done more in 20 minutes with a DNA match than we’ve done in 20 years.
Diahan Southard helped me decide which Y-ch test I should buy for 2 distant cousins and the test was perfect to answer my question.
DNA testing itself is not included in our Coaching service. You need to take a test and bring us the results. Our expert analysis focuses ONLY on your DNA results; we will leave the related genealogy research to you. Our goal is to help YOU keep making your own DNA discoveries.
