Mission Statement
Background and Training
Colleen began her coaching career long before she found the field of life
coaching and entered into formal training. As a teen at Carlsbad High,
Colleen interviewed for and was accepted into a special program called
"Advanced Communications" where she developed her skills of interactive
listening, and received training through many community programs such as
DARE, the UCSD Family Medicine Residency Program, ENABL, and the
Juvenile Justice Program. This prepared Colleen to become a Peer Advocate
to coach her peers in identifying healthy life choices and sparked her
ambition to pursue a career empowering others.
She then went on to California State University at Sacramento to receive a
Bachelor of the Arts degree in psychology, graduating cum laude. Colleen
spent the earlier part of her career in teaching and supporting children with
autism, having deep understanding though her own brother, also diagnosed
with the disability. Wanting to contribute more to all who struggle with life's
continuous challenges, she then discovered life coaching and the Academy
coaching and entered into formal training. As a teen at Carlsbad High,

About the Coach...
Call for a Free Consultation
To begin, simply call or e-mail me and I would be happy to give you a free, 30 minute consultation to introduce you
to life coaching and determine if it is the best way to support you in achieving the results you would like to see.
During our time together, we will look at what kinds of things coaching can support you in, discover what ideas and
dreams inspire you, and ultimately discover what you would like to create in your life or organization. If you are in
the local Sacramento, California area, you may also choose to attend a group coaching session.
If you would like me to come speak to your organization, business, or group, contact me to make special
arrangements. You will receive a one hour presentation with your group on how organizational coaching can
specifically support the alignment of team members with the organization's vision, clarify the vision into goals, and
discover how to produce extraordinary results.
