About Ann

Hello! And thanks for stopping by. It’s really an honor to share a little about myself with you. facetune_28-09-2022-21-17-06

I’m a life and mindset coach who shares the joy of a life found in Christ with the world. My vocation is to help people rekindle their passion, discover their purpose, and fulfill their potential.  But my mission is to encourage and strengthen genuine faith and emotional wellness in your daily life.

As a woman of faith, I believe in the importance of a healthy relationship with Christ. As a child of an abusive, alcoholic father, I know that we are not defined by what has happened to us. As an imperfect wife and mother, I am committed to using failures as steppingstones instead of stumbling blocks.

Career & Education

After retiring from an extensive corporate career leading and developing employees with a Fortune 100 company, I count it a privilege to now help clients develop their fullest potential. I believe that God intends for each one of us to flourish and I’m passionate about seeing people cultivate a life that does. Through Wild Grace Coaching, I offer coaching, consulting, and training to individuals, groups, and businesses. I am also the Lay Counseling Supervision in the Prayer and Care Ministry of my local church. 

I’m a Board Certified Master Christian Life Coach (IBCC), Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach (IBCC), and Clifton Strengths Certified Champion. I hold a master’s degree in Counseling, a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a graduate certificate in Theological Studies, and a certificate in Chemical Dependency Counseling. Additionally, I have both Associate in Claims and Senior Claim Law Associate designations in the field of P&C Insurance.

Writing

As an author, my work includes both fiction and non-fiction, with books such as Lessons for the Journey and Hope from the Pit . I’m a semi-active blogger and have been a freelance writer for both radio and print media. I hold memberships in Nonfiction Authors Association, FaithWriters, and American Christian Fiction Writers.

Personal

I’m happily married to my college sweetheart and through steadfast love, deep faith, and frequent laughter we have weathered many storms of life including infertility, sibling suicide, and chronic health issues. For more than a decade we lived as the sandwich generation, raising our now grown and beautiful daughter while caring for my ailing mother who suffered with dementia.

I’m a Louisiana bayou girl, married to a Detroit city boy, living in the piney woods of east Texas with several rescue dogs. I love adventure and relish the chance to hike and ski in the mountains, scuba-dive in the ocean, or travel to interesting places, but I’m also an introvert. That means I’m most content simply spending quiet time at home, with loved ones or a good book, or outside in our backyard magic forest. And that is far more than enough about me.

But I’d love to know more about you. So, please use the contact form to share about yourself, or just to let me know how I can pray for you today.

Be blessed,

Ann
