Welcome! I’m So Excited You’re Here!

The Journey

On my journey to where I am today, I have been a sought after marriage and relationship expert, marriage coach, counselor, educator, speaker, entrepreneur and author. My husband and I founded The Marriage Coaches, a coaching and consulting practice.

Because of our passion for successful marriages, we created the I Love Being Married Movement, our battle cry for the marriage community to rally around and bring positive press back to marriage.

To further share our passion for marriage and help others with their marriages, Benjamin and I wrote , I Love Being Married: A Guide to Divorceproof Your Marriage.

Together, we have coached thousands of couples on relationship strategies to enhance and divorce-proof their relationships. We created a website www.themarriagecoaches.net that housed our blog articles, podcasts and information on how to contact us for counseling, coaching, speaking and our book, products and classes. We have also written articles that have appeared on Essence Magazine online , and other large sites. We also appeared as guest marriage experts on an episode of a popular TLC reality television show and were marriage experts in an online Marriage and Relationship Academy. We were regularly asked to be guest speakers at conferences, events and retreats.

Prior, to almost exclusively working with couples, I worked with women and founded Women’s Empowerment Movement, a non-profit 501(c)3 that worked to empower women to success. At the same time, I worked with families helping them work through any behavioral, family, educational or mental health issues that were present.

Weaved throughout my over 20 year career, I have infused spirituality and love to share how my faith keeps my peace and allows me to move forward no matter the situation.

I love to inspire, encourage and coach people and as a Licensed Professional Counselor, in the state of Georgia, I’ve been able to do just that.

The Transition

While building this business, as a family we were dealing with a family crisis. Our youngest daughter was born with Sickle Cell Anemia, a chronic blood disorder that can cause debilitating pain, consistent illness, damage to organs and even death. This as you can imagine took a toll on our family especially after she was hospitalized over 12 times, had 4 major surgeries, and being on a feeding tube all before the age of 3, we needed to make some changes to accommodate her needs. We scaled back the business and focused on her full time. She received a life-saving bone marrow transplant, was cured of Sickle Cell and is doing well.

After having seen my daughter fight for her life, I decided to change many things about how I live my life, how I show up for myself and for my family and how I run my business. This is why, I am now providing online counseling services for women, couples, parents, teachers and business owners dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression and just being stuck. I have developed a passion for and an understanding of how to weave mental, emotional and spiritual wellness and am passionate about sharing this with others.

Because of my passion, I wrote, Soul Care: A Guided Prayer Journal and Planner for Women to specifically help women envision the life they want to live, discover the issues that are keeping them stuck and then reframe, retrain and rewire their brain for the life that they most desire and deserve.

I am proud to offer a safe space for women, couples, parents, educators and entrepreneurs to release the burdens of stress, anxiety, depression, and fear in order to live an extraordinary life.
