I am so glad you are here!
It’s time to find joy in life again!
My name is Brenda, and I am a recovery & resilience coach and consultant dedicated to help you be an overcomer!
If you are an individual journeying through grief and loss, the complexities of eating disorders and CIRS, or you are recovering from compassion fatigue, I am here to help you restore balance and experience renewed strength.
If you are a professional treating clients with eating disorders, trauma, and chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), or you lead an organization at risk for compassion fatigue and burnout, I am here to assist you in improving client outcomes and restore a sense of joy and fulfillment in the important work that you do.
i want you to know:
Your story matters!
Are you tired of…
living in constant fatigue
feeling stuck in overdrive or constantly on edge
being stuck in a pattern of overthinking
experiencing shame around your body
obsessing about your food choices
feeling like you have tried it all, but something
is not working
Instead you desire…
consistent energy levels
confidence in who you are
internal peace and calm
reduced shame and self criticism
connection with others
lasting recovery
what it’s like to work with me
Supporting your path to resilience.
I want you to know, that I get it. After having experienced the complexities of an eating disorder, trauma, grief & loss, and chronic inflammatory response syndrome, I understand what it takes to heal. Please don’t give up on yourself. If you feel stuck, if you wonder “why” you aren’t recovering like you had hoped, let’s talk. There is hope!
Through options of coaching, online courses, workshops, or retreats, I will help guide you toward living a life in alignment to your values and goals. We will identify and overcome the obstacles to your healing so that you can reclaim a sense of joy, passion, connection to others, self-acceptance, and an internal sense of safety and calm.
My approach is one of compassion and strength, along with humor. Laughter is good for the soul. I will seek to truly understand your situation, hold utmost care and respect, while also inviting you into something greater as you grow and reach for your goals.
It’s time to put the past behind you, and step into all that God has designed for you to be! Let’s do this!
Inspiration
Samson is the definition of an “overcomer”. At the age of 9, he suddenly went blind in both eyes. He went to bed one night with sight, and woke up the next morning with none. His entire world changed.
I walked along side him as he learned to navigate a new reality. From being afraid of taking a step, to hiking on unknown trails, to comforting clients in therapy, to playing whiffle ball in the backyard (he is a great outfielder), he has shown himself to be an overcomer. He is an inspiration to both me and my clients as he lives life, with his disability, with valiance and a zest for life.
You too, can be an overcomer!
Stay tuned for an upcoming book on the lessons learned from a blind dog.
