Areas of Focus

Women in the Workplace

Single and Married Moms

Career coaching can provide
support and guidance on how to achieve greater balance and fulfillment in both professional and personal domains. This may involve setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and aligning career goals with personal values and aspirations.

Single and Married Moms

Coaching can help moms tap into their strengths, mitigate their struggles, increase their self-awareness, and be empowered to acheive a better life balance and more personal fulfillment.

Psalm 139:14: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Retirement and Beyond

Single and Married Moms

Retirement and Beyond

Retirement coaching helps a
person explore non-financial aspects of retirement: purpose, identity, new activities, daily schedule, social connection and volunteering while encouraging continued learning, skills development
and personal growth.

My Personal Coaching Approach

I am a Life Coach: a wellness professional who helps participants become the best version of themselves in real time using their unique skills, gifts and strengths while supporting sustainable change. Working with me, participants can bridge the gap between current circumstances and the life they would like to lead.

I am called to play a supportive and encouraging role as the people I work with identify and achieve their goals more quickly and efficiently than they would if attempting to do so on their own. I am enthusiastic about empowering others to see themselves in a more positive light, to be optimistic about their future, and to transform negative thinking into positive action.

I firmly believe that each of us is the expert in our own life. We get to decide on the paths forward from whatever options we have available (even less-than-ideal ones). We also have the assets and strengths to be successful on that journey. My job is to help reestablish, reactivate, or repurpose all the tools available to a person. You will be empowered to make decisions, take risks, make mistakes, experience success, and improve your relationships with yourself, others, God, and the natural world.

Some Courage Required

As they entered, I recognized her look: small and defeated. He looked exhausted and like he’d rather be anywhere else. Something was clearly going on with these two, and I was confident it would not be long before the cause of the turmoil was revealed. I smiled at her and said, “I’m glad you’re here! This is a safe, judgment-free space. I’m here with you, whatever happens!”

The rider took a deep, audible breath. Her horse whipped his head back toward her leg, presumably to hit a fly, but I wondered about his true motive. Together they turned towards the perimeter of the jumping arena and began. Before I was an accredited life coach, I spent twenty years as a horseback riding coach.

The first time working with any kind of coach can be disorienting. Stressful. Even a bit scary. It takes courage, time, and energy to build trust so you can be open about things you wish would just disappear or manifest on their own. That’s normal. Whether the focus is riding or life, a qualified coach will be expecting a wide range of feelings and responses.

"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble."

You may recognize this Bible verse. It speaks to the strength, resilience, and effectiveness of teamwork. If you are curious or have questions, it’s likely you are ready to begin the process of entering into a Coach/Participant relationship. I would welcome the opportunity to be that person in your life!
