My Coaching Calling

When I look back at my life and career, I see that I’ve always been mentoring women in some capacity. I was on staff with a college ministry, Cru, working with students and leaders as they grew in maturity in Christ. Then I became a Lactation Consultant and Postpartum Nurse, serving women in the beautiful, vulnerable and sometimes desperate first days of motherhood.

And now, I’m a mom myself, and I have the great task of raising three amazing young ladies, guiding them as they grow into the women God has called them to be. For the last several years, I’ve built a home-based business and coached entrepreneurial women in professional practices and mindsets. Life coaching has always been on my radar, and I can see now how the Lord has been preparing me for a special calling that I am now fulfilling in His perfect timing.

“This experience catapulted me out of a life on autopilot.”

“It was the catalyst I needed to do inner work, evaluate my life’s direction, and wholeheartedly pursue my passion for helping other women.”

 

 A few years ago, I went through a season of great loss and crisis. Though it wasn’t easy, I did the intentional and often hard work of self-care and soul-care to become emotionally whole again. I’m so grateful to say that the Lord worked my struggle for good, and my story is one of restoration and redemption.

This experience catapulted me out of a life on autopilot. It was the catalyst I needed to do inner work, evaluate my life’s direction, and wholeheartedly pursue my passion for helping other women. I began praying that God would show me more learning and training opportunities I could use to guide my clients to emotional well-being.

Using the Enneagram As a Tool for Emotional Well-Being

about new-23.jpg

That’s what brought me to the Enneagram, an amazing map for self-awareness, growth and healing. I discovered that I’m a Type 9, also known as the Peacemaker or the Peaceful Mediator. I finally had language to describe the motivations that drive my every thought, feeling, and action, and it gave me so much clarity of my inner landscape. It also helped me identify my limiting beliefs and head in a purposeful direction. I decided to become certified as an Enneagram Coach, and launch Essentially You, a safe place for women to grow in emotional well-being through Enneagram coaching.

I’d love to come alongside you as you travel on your own growth journey, becoming whole in mind, body and spirit and experiencing lasting change and empowerment in every area of your life. You were made to live wholeheartedly, and it would be my honor to walk with you every step of the way.
