Women who want to explore what God created and gifted them to do. Women who want encouragement, guidance, and support to move forward. If this is you, and you have desires and dreams but wonder where to go with them- personal coaching is the way to move ahead. Regardless of your age or season of life, is there a dream you have put off, convincing yourself it is impossible? Could you be at a crossroads wondering where God is leading you next? Through personal coaching, I’ll help you discover your strengths and passions, explore the shaping effects of your life experiences, and provide support as you learn to say “YES” to the Spirit’s leading! IN MIDLIFE OR BEYOND? As a woman whose books and Bible studies were published after I turned 50, and who also went on to Seminary and became a certified life coach and advocate for women in abusive relationships, I love to proclaim this truth to women in midlife or their senior years: Don’t settle for a rut- you may achieve more than you ever imagined after 50. Refuse to let age keep you from pursuing your dreams! If this resonates with you, I’d love to coach you through any hesitations you have. You’ll be delighted to see what God has made you capable of doing in the second half of life! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622125d98ff51507f1dda80b/52d987f0-d0d3-4b0a-bdca-836513de7c4e/My+project-3.jpg Life Coaching - Individual Christian Counseling & Coaching - #2 Emotional Growth God gave us emotions, but He never intended us to let them run (or ruin) our lives! Wonderful as they can be, giving us joy, excitement, and delight, emotions can also bring hurt, pain, tears, disappointment, rage, and depression. Positive emotions are part of the abundant life that Jesus came to give us (John 10:10). Too often, however, we have more negative and depressing emotions than positive ones. With God’s help, emotional transformation can happen. Romans 12:2 declares that our minds, our thoughts, our self-talk, our moods, and negative patterns of thinking can be changed by the renewing of our minds. These changes don’t happen overnight but with support and Christian coaching, you can experience spiritual, mental, and emotional health and the joy and peace Jesus intends for you. If you are burdened by negative emotions or habitual thinking patterns that produce worry and anxiety or behavior that makes you miserable, irritable, or in despair, let’s meet. My own story involved all these negative emotions, but God, through Scripture, prayer, and the Holy Spirit, helped me turn around. You can experience this transformation also. It’s what God, in His love, wants for you. Domestic Abuse Support If you are dealing with conflict and abuse in your home and need a safe and confidential space to share your concerns and experiences, contact me. As a trained Domestic Abuse Recovery Advocate, I have helped women who were recovering from verbal, emotional, and other kinds of abuse. Abusive relationships are extremely difficult, especially if you are a Christian. If you want help making wise choices for yourself and any children you might have, let’s talk. God wants you to be safe and live in a healthy environment. To learn more about Domestic Abuse see my PowerPoint “Hidden Rooms” here. Please contact me after you have viewed this information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622125d98ff51507f1dda80b/deaf38f2-4bf4-4861-ace2-d65c50c364cc/My+project-2.jpg Life Coaching - Individual Christian Counseling & Coaching - #3 Spiritual Growth Wish you had someone to listen, pray, and guide you to a closer relationship with God? As an experienced Bible teacher and Spiritual Formation coach, I’d love to help you discover how God sees you—as precious, His beloved, and a woman with God-given value and purpose. Sadly, this truth seems hard to accept for some. Does that sound like you? During spiritual counseling & coaching, we trace God’s loving movement in your life, both in the past and in the present. When we meet, I listen to both you and the Holy Spirit as we discuss what’s happening in your spiritual life and your reactions and responses to God’s work in you. My role is to lovingly offer insight and counsel as you ask for it. Spiritual Counseling & Coaching sessions are one hour and usually once or twice a month. Are you looking for answers to various spiritual questions? Do you believe lies about yourself that make you miserable? Do you ask questions such as: If God is good, why am I hurting so much? I don’t feel God’s love... I need some hope, some joy, some peace but where is it? What’s my purpose in life—why am I even here? Does God even know I exist? I feel so spiritually dry. What is the matter with me? If these or other issues trouble you, contact me. God doesn’t want you to miss His personal love and care for you. Yes, life is hard at times, but He is with you in whatever waters, rivers, and fires of life you are experiencing. (Isaiah 43:1-3) These hourly appointments can be scheduled weekly or in a package arranged as you prefer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622125d98ff51507f1dda80b/5df88157-b78a-4e67-94fd-22c91f33f9eb/My+project-4.jpg Life Coaching -
