      Life Coach/Owner

      I am currently working on a life coach certificate from Professional Christian Coaching Institute, which will put me in alignment with International Coach Federation standards. Life coaching is a designed relationship in which the client moves from where he or she currently is in life to where he or she wishes to be. Life coaching is not a substitute for mental health counseling.
