What Others Say about Life Coaching
“I decided to hire a personal coach, because I felt that I had too many things going on over which I had lost control. Coaching gave me tools and insight to focus and gain better control over my life (family, work, projects, time and relationships. Now I understand that if I don’t organize my life, someone else will do it for me. Joan is skilled at what she does—she always helped me find the best solution.”
Hannah A., business owner, mother/wife in MN
"I have appreciated Joan in her role as a Life Coach. She was intentional in helping me achieve my personal goals through some very stressful and confusing times. Her coaching provided stability, clarity and direction during a very chaotic season of life. Her ability to listen and gain clarity helped me to remain focused on what matters most. Time with Joan was an investment into my life and my own soul care. I would highly recommend Joan." Juno Smalley, Lead Pastor, New Life Community Church, Artesia, CA
"I appreciate coaching with Joan because she has shown me new ways of thinking that free my mind uncovering bold, new options and possibilities for my life. Now I live with a greater sense of my feelings, a deeper understanding of myself and others as well as strength to take the next steps. I am so glad to have Joan as my Life Coach. Thank you, Joan!"
Shelley Nelson, University Professor, Writer and Marketing Specialist
"Experiencing The Intentional Woman LifePlan (IWLP) and Joan's coaching has been priceless for me. I'm grateful to God that I found the courage to contact her. I've been so afraid of what other people think of me and worried that I might make a mistake that it has held me back. Thanks to the IWLP and the follow-up coaching, I've found the freedom God has always intended for me. I would definitely recommend this process to others."
Lorraine, Career Educator, Nevada
“Entering a major transition, I became increasingly aware of my need for someone to journey with me into uncharted territory. I felt overwhelmed. Partnering with Joan helped me regain a sense of worth and balance. Unexpected joy and freedom followed as I learned to embrace the shift from married to single stay-at-home mom to college student and employee. Through coaching, I found I could enjoy this leg of the journey and not merely endure. Coaching helped me to see my world as a place of open-door possibilities.” Debbie Yamane, Phoenix, Arizona
“For the past five years, I had been stuck about whether to stay or leave the job I’d had for 20 years. Indecision caused me to slump spiritually, emotionally, physically & mentally. Joan asked me insightful questions and helped me see that I was disconnected from some aspects of myself. I benefited from her affirmations and the accountability. I am now on a new adventure—I left my job and am going to real estate school. I face each day with anticipation! Something I haven’t done in a long time.”
Mary Alice C., business woman, mother, grandmother
I appreciate coaching with Joan because she is insightful, caring, and brilliant at what she does. Joan has helped me navigate life in a way that has allowed me to find the real me God intended. I am a different person because of life coaching. As I moved from my church staff position in Georgia to missions work in the Philippines to a new start in cold Minnesota, Joan and I have built our coaching partnership on God and I've found inner strength I didn't know I had.

"I am deeply thankful that during our coaching sessions, never once did I sense anything other than coaching. You never tried to fix me. You always gave me choices, which was part of the core of my healing. You are tops!"
