Meet the founder and your Lead Coach...

Hello and welcome! There is a reason you came across my website and I am so very happy you are here. I am wondering...what is your "Purpose" your "NorthStar" and how do you get there? What's keeping you up at night? What do you really want to do in your precious lifetime? Why wait, dig in now! Let's work together to create a life that you love. 

Why Coach4ward?

I founded Coach4ward in 2025, as an "encore" career, and love what I do.  I am here to support you. After working in various leadership roles in the corporate world, for non-profits, and with the government, I decided to pivot and became an International Life Design Coach. I offer empowerment tools, clarity exercises, and mission driven support to individuals and groups. This move was purposeful to reach my own "NorthStar" which is to help empower others - this career brings me great joy. What brings you joy? I will work with you collaboratively, confidentially, and with purpose to support your way forward. Hence the name of my business Coach4ward.

My vision is to offer more than just the standard "goal setting" coaching techniques. In 2025, I completed and intensive ten-month Life Coaching certified training with the Martha Beck Institute. The techniques I learned are incredible and powerful. They are proven to foster change through the mind/body connection. As a Wayfinder, I move to address the "whole person" to help clients meet their self-defined goals. In 2023, I became a certified yoga teacher and obtained a certification in Mindfulness Coaching. Those heart-centered trainings, coupled with my corporate coaching trainings, process improvement designation as a Green Belt in Lean 6 Sigma, graduate work in Community Counseling, and various certifications in Leadership Development including Leadership Gainesville and Leadership Asheville all woven together offer clients diverse goodies in our sessions. 

I am a current member of the International Coaching Federation and in the process of becoming certified with them. (Goal for certification is Sept 2026). That certification is over and above the industry standard and offers accountability for my clients by authenticating my trainings/knowledge. 

As a mother of grown children, a community volunteer, a love advocate, a former Peace Corps volunteer, a former corporate accountant, a former non-profit director, and a current federal retiree (over 25 years of service), I bring an array of experience to our session. Most importantly, I bring my drive and desire to stand with you. Together, we will move to empower your journey forward to create your very best life!
