Christian Mental Health Coach
(949) 386-7181

With God, all things are possible! Learning to choose faith over fear in all parts of life changes everything, so let’s find the fear that has been holding you back and work together to find your breakthrough. Please note: Coaching is not the same as mental health counseling. I am not a health care provider or licensed counselor, but I am a Certified Mental Health Coach and Health & Wellness Coach. My desire as your coach is to be present, hold space, listen to you, and help you feel seen and heard. I will partner with you to help you find your growth plan and stay accountable and consistent as you determine the reasons why you’re pursuing coaching.

About Kelli

If you’re finding yourself feeling stuck and frustrated because you feel like you’re doing everything right without seeing progress or the change you hoped for, you are not alone! Coaching provides you an opportunity to have someone help you peel back the layers to find what’s not working and figure out what will work best for you. I’ll be right there with you to help you reach for what feels impossible.

My Goal as a Christian Coach

My goal is for you to experience transformation. As your coach, I will work with you to identify beliefs that are hindering your growth and squash old habits that get in the way of your progress. I’ll help you shift your perspective so you can reach the goals that you set for yourself. We’ll do this through value-based coaching and motivational interviewing techniques, relying on the Holy Spirit for lasting positive change.

What I Offer in Christian Coaching

I offer a safe, relaxed environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your story with me. Depending on your preference, we will begin each session with prayer, asking God to be the center of our time and to lead our conversation and goal setting. I will help you design your own action steps and will guide you through the process of reaching the goals you set for yourself, encouraging you to remain excited and motivated through to completion.

My Approach to Christian Coaching

There are three people in our sessions: God, me, and you. I believe God uses me as His instrument to help you, and He is the one doing the transformation in your life. Learning to establish your goals on Scripture builds a new foundation that allows for lasting change. As a result, you’ll also learn to rely on His power and strength, not your own limited strength that runs out. Part of my approach to Christian coaching is to help my clients understand how God made mind, body, and soul to operate in sync. Coaching from this perspective allows our faith to become stronger and lead instead of our problems or circumstances.

Biography

Qualifications & Experience

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Promotion and Master of Art Degree in Human Services with specialization in Health and Wellness from Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. I also have a Mental Health Coach Certification, Fitness Nutrition Specialist Certification, and Digestive Health Certification. I’ve been coaching clients since 2014.

My Call to Christian Coaching

After college, I ended up in higher education, specifically with accreditation and compliance for allied health colleges. I realized how much I love learning and felt called to find a way that I could help others improve their health, faith, and life. I completed a certification in digestive health and fitness nutrition and started a personal coaching practice.

Through a variety of personal hardships, God allowed me to see how beautifully He created our bodies to work in sync with mind, body, soul, reliant on Him. From these life experiences, I felt God leading me to help Christian women with their “total health” – mind, body, and soul. So I started coaching using Scripture as the foundation with physical health and nutrition. Then, as my passions continued, I started a Christian Leadership Coach Training Program to help people learn coaching and also how to integrate their faith, health, and communication, and lead a life for Him.

More About Me/On a Personal Note

I’m a forever learner, and I love learning more and more about personal growth, leadership, or anything related to our health. Having grown up in Ohio and living in California, one of my personal interests and greatest gratitude involves anything with the beach or being outdoors. I’m very passionate about community and highly involved with women’s ministries and events that bring people together.

Spiritual Development

Learning how to fully trust God and living by faith is the recipe for getting through the hardships of life and being able to let God use your circumstances for His good. Often we don’t realize when fear is in the driver’s seat. When we work on putting God first, we are able to see things from His perspective, which is when we can experience His perfect peace. Together, we’ll work on developing a spiritual growth plan where you can grow closer in your walk with God and let Him start to lead your life.

Health and Wellness

If you struggle with diet after diet, or feeling like you need to exercise double for every cookie you eat, we will work together to help you discover what foods are right for you and develop a plan that helps you learn about your body, health, and wellness through Scripture and not a diet plan. You’ll learn about inflammation and digestive health and how focusing on eating whole foods (the ones from God’s garden!) are the key focus foods.

Relationship Issues

There are times that our communication is off or times when you/another person doesn’t feel seen, heard, or valued. By learning different ways to rebuild and repair relationships through various communication styles and God’s work, you’ll be able to enhance your relationships by focusing on what you can do with showing up differently. We’ll sort through ways you can speak and listen that you might not have tried before and we’ll create a plan to help you implement and practice new techniques.

Life Transitions

We all experience transition in life. Most often, we are either currently going through a transition or we are preparing for one. For example, maybe you just moved to a new city and are realizing the challenges with rebuilding a new life in new territory. Or, you’re preparing to move to a new city and build a new life in a new territory. Together, we can design your roadmap to help you with what you’re going through today and get you through the transition.

Life Coaching

Sometimes we go through seasons when we are trying to find a new path, journey, purpose, or perspective. You are not alone! Sometimes God shifts things in us to allow us to find His next step that He has for our lives. Sometimes we need to change our perspective and see how God can use things and situations for His good, and for the good of others. Christian life coaching is a way to take a bird’s eye view to see and connect the dots of your life and to build a plan with God directing your steps.
