Hi, I’m Jen!
Becoming a life coach was a no brainer for me because I have always been happiest in service to others. I learned this early on. As a sixth grader I spent my free time volunteering in the special needs class and this brought me so much joy. I continued volunteering with special needs students as a teen and then worked with them as a young adult. Although I enjoyed college, I decided to forego a degree and career in order to stay at home and raise my three daughters, which included home-schooling them until college. Once my girls were independent teens, I decided to work part-time for a bit of social interaction as well as to supplement the household income. Unexpectedly, the joy I found in being of service to others was reignited and I realized that I had been putting many of my own interests and needs on the back burner by focusing exclusively on my family. Working inadvertently reminded me that I had personal goals separate from my family. In 2018 I decided to attended the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. During Life Coach training I learned how much of myself I had unintentionally lost while focusing all of my time and energy on my family. Now I coach women to rediscover and prioritize their individual needs and wants so that they can approach all things with their authentic selves and ultimately enjoy greater satisfaction in life.

Deirdre here!
A friend of mine referred to me as her life coach. I've always been someone who people would come to for support with a challenge they were facing. This inspired me to want to help people. Growing up with a mother who had a mental illness, I initially embarked on obtaining my Masters in Mental Health Counseling and spent 7.5

A friend of mine referred to me as her life coach. I've always been someone who people would come to for support with a challenge they were facing. This inspired me to want to help people. Growing up with a mother who had a mental illness, I initially embarked on obtaining my Masters in Mental Health Counseling and spent 7.5 years in social services. As much as I felt like I was in service of others, I still felt like something was missing. I felt stuck. I wasn't empowering my clients to have them realize their own path to success, I was telling them what they needed to do to succeed. Then I remembered being my friend's "life coach," and so I attended the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching training program. Through this training, I experienced immense life changing opportunities. On day one, our group did an envisioning activity, and by our last day in our program, a lot of what I had envisioned for myself became a reality. This showed me the power of life coaching.
Now, I help women who feel stuck in their job/career discover new perspectives and create goals that lead to personal and professional success.
