Have you ever thought…
“This is not the story I would have written for myself”?
Did you ever dare utter the words out loud?
Did anyone hear you?
What did they say?
“It is what it is!”
“Suck it up buttercup!”
“Offer it up!”
“Oh, you have so much to be grateful for!”
“I wish I had your life!”
When is the last time you truly felt empowered?
Feeling empowerment comes from your own mindset.
Positive thoughts, right choices, being confident, making decisions, having a support system, and faith in God.
“With God all things are possible.”
~Matthew 19:26
You keep going and so does your story…
Tick tock goes the clock.
Time doesn’t slow down. You are busy.
The to-do list is never done. Life presents you with quite a balancing act with managing all of the roles and expectations.
Some days go really well and some don’t. Some are just good enough and some fall somewhere in the middle.
Do you ever stop? Do you rest? Can you, or will all the spinning plates fall?
You crave uninterrupted time. Days with less productivity pass with disappointment. Never getting done what you would have liked to accomplish.
Your story started a long time ago. It has many layers to it. Layers with feelings of gratitude, peace, joy, and acceptance. And other layers with fear, anxiety, sadness, loneliness, emptiness, and other challenging emotions.
Somedays you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, confused, suffocated, and flat out exhausted. Most days you feel like you're drowning.
You try to keep up with the pace, but deep inside you know you’re getting tired. Your body is starting to give you signs. Your physical health is suffering, you might not feel well. Feeling sick is more frequent than not. Tense muscles, headaches that turn into migraines, poor sleep, and brain fog.
Your story matters and so do you.
Hi, I’m Andrea.
I’m so glad you’re here!
I am a woman’s empowerment coach. I want to hear your story. I’m here to accompany you to start living the story you desire.
The truth is, you are beautifully made in God’s image and likeness, you have a purpose, and God has a plan for your life. The reality is, many women don’t live from this place of truth.
As Christian women, we read and follow the teachings of the gospel. The gospel is the “good news” because it contains the exceedingly wonderful message of God’s redemption of sinful humanity, through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ.
We must ask ourselves why don’t our lives look like we are living from a “good news” position?
The good news is, there is so much more! More to life. The possibilities are endless!
Unfortunately, we also know life is not all gum drops and lollipops. There is pain and suffering. Loss is real. Death happens. We all have wounds, fears, and beliefs that keep us bound.
Despite life’s challenges, by working with an empowerment coach, you can grow and heal in ways you never thought possible!
You can go from stuck to unstuck. Together we can work to move obstacles that have been there for way too long.
We will develop your plan, that is tailored to your pace, and comfort level. And you don’t have to do it alone.
God designed women so that our heart, mind, body, and soul are integrally related. What affects one part, often affects the others. Through the process of coaching and you will receive insight, affirmation, validation, and encouragement, which becomes the foundation for growth and healing.
It is time to Arise AND STAND.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
~Jeremiah 29:11-13

Empowerment Coaching
Growth and Healing
Clarity - you will grow in self awareness as we take off the blinders. You will discover your God-given identity.
Resolution of emotional distress - through verbal ventilation (talking) and speaking from your heart, you can release feelings and resolve emotional distress.
Somatic(body) healing - you are going to feel better! As we reduce stress, somatic repair happens automatically; improved sleep, deeper and more rhythmic breathing, decreased muscle tightness, and relaxation.
Motivation and willpower - as you receive encouragement, affirmation, and validation, you will gain energy! A renewed motivation and willpower commonly result, along with a positive mindset.
Gratitude - the process of coaching will lead you to notice good things, look for good things, and appreciate them. Life will be seen as a gift.
Increase in faith - identifying how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are present and working in your life, can facilitate an increase in faith. Faith continues to grow by learning to pray, and praying from the depths of the heart.
“SELF’s” develop - Self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-protection, self-care, self- esteem, and self-confidence develop over time with the accompaniment of a coach.
Peace - healing of the heart, mind, body, and soul provides a lasting peace.
