A Coach You Can Trust

 

Life Coach Training & Credentials

Picking a coach you can trust

When choosing a life coach, it's essential to consider their credentials and commitment to upholding professional standards, and that's where ICF (International Coaching Federation) credentialing plays a crucial role. The ICF is the leading global organization dedicated to setting the highest standards for coaching practice, ensuring that certified coaches adhere to ethical guidelines, maintain confidentiality, and act with integrity.

An ICF credentialed coach has undergone rigorous training and assessments, demonstrating their commitment to providing high-quality, professional coaching services. As a student coach in training with Radiant Coaching Academy, I am on the path toward ICF certification, learning the best practices and ethical standards to offer clients trustworthy, impactful coaching. Choosing an ICF-trained coach gives you confidence that you’re working with someone dedicated to your growth and well-being.

Coaching during the credential process

Anyone can call themselves a life coach, but not everyone has the training, ethical foundation, and standards to truly support clients in a professional and meaningful way. What sets me apart is my commitment to becoming credentialed through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), which requires rigorous education, practice, and adherence to a high code of ethics.

As a student coach in training with Radiant Coaching Academy, I am gaining the tools and experience necessary to offer high-quality coaching services while staying accountable to proven methods. Even as I go through the credentialing process, I am equipped to provide effective coaching with a focus on your personal goals, growth, and well-being. Working with me means you are partnering with someone who is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and who is fully invested in your success.

An unregulated profession, for now…

In Utah, life coaching remains an unregulated field, meaning anyone can call themselves a life coach without specific training or oversight. This can make it challenging for clients to discern which coaches uphold professional standards. However, regulations are hopefully on the horizon, and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) is positioning itself to be a key authority in setting these standards.

The ICF is widely regarded as the gold standard for accreditation in coach training, offering credentials such as Associate Certified Coach (ACC), Professional Certified Coach (PCC), and Master Certified Coach (MCC).

I am currently training to become a PCC, which involves extensive education, practice, and adherence to a strict code of ethics. Even now, as a student coach in training with Radiant Coaching Academy, I am committed to offering high-quality, ethical coaching services that clients can trust, ensuring that I am prepared for future regulations while providing the best possible support today.

a utah perspective

As a native Utahn life coach, I understand the unique cultural dynamics that shape the lives of individuals in our state. Utah’s strong emphasis on family values, religious traditions, and a close-knit community often plays a significant role in how people approach personal growth and decision-making. Life coaching in this context offers a space to navigate these complexities while empowering individuals to define their own values and goals. Whether it’s managing transitions in career, belief systems, or relationships, I provide coaching that honors these cultural influences, helping clients balance personal growth with family or community expectations. My deep understanding of Utah’s culture allows me to offer guidance that aligns with the needs of those who are seeking both personal fulfillment and respect for their cultural roots.

 

Coaching for Life’s Different Challenges

Coaching for Self-Advocacy and Balance with Chronic Illness

Living with multiple chronic illnesses has given me firsthand experience in navigating the complexities of healthcare and advocating for myself in medical settings. The emotional and physical demands of managing chronic conditions, along with ensuring your needs are understood and respected by healthcare professionals, can be overwhelming. Coaching can be incredibly valuable in this journey, offering the tools and support needed to build strong self-advocacy skills, manage stress, and create strategies for maintaining a balanced life. As someone who has had to advocate for myself, I understand the challenges and can help you gain the confidence to speak up for your health, prioritize self-care, and remain empowered in your journey. Coaching provides a space to focus on your strengths and personal goals, helping you navigate your health with resilience and purpose.

Parenting, Neurodivergence, & connection

As a parent to children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, combined with my educational training and professional coaching skills, I bring a unique blend of personal insight and expertise into my practice. My experiences have taught me the importance of fostering communication, patience, and understanding, while my training has equipped me with the ability to develop effective strategies for building closer relationships and reducing stress and frustration.

I take a whole-person approach in my coaching, meaning I see each client as a complex individual with interconnected needs and strengths. Through my professionally trained skills, I help parents and individuals navigate their own journeys, offering practical guidance to improve connections, reduce tension, and foster growth. This holistic perspective allows me to support clients in finding balance, building stronger family dynamics, and creating lasting positive change.

FInding your purpose at any age

Finding your purpose is a journey that can begin at any age, whether you're starting out in life, navigating a midlife transition, or seeking new meaning later in life. As a coach, I help you explore your passions, values, and strengths to uncover what truly inspires you. Together, we will clarify your goals, overcome any limiting beliefs, and create a personalized plan to help you live a life aligned with your purpose. No matter where you are on your journey, I offer guidance, support, and accountability to help you discover and embrace your unique path to fulfillment.

empowering authentic leadership and fostering loyalty

Leadership is about more than just managing people—it’s about inspiring and empowering others to reach their full potential. My coaching approach helps individuals develop the skills necessary to become better, more authentic leaders. Through personalized guidance, I work with you to strengthen your communication, emotional intelligence, and decision-making abilities, all while fostering a positive, inclusive environment. By focusing on empathy, accountability, and trust, I help you cultivate loyalty and respect from your team in a way that encourages collaboration and growth. Together, we’ll work to build leadership qualities that not only elevate your success but also empower those around you to thrive.
