About me: After over 20 years of church-planting in different teams and contexts, I wish I had had good coaching. I wish the teams I was on had had good coaching. I want to be the coach that I wish I had had when I started in missions way back then.
I wish I had had a coach to:
Help me understand context and how to apply the Gospel
Help me to be confident in my calling and gifting
Help me understand how I measure success
My Coaching Philosophy: As a coach, I see my role as being first a listener and observer, then as one who helps you explore your calling and context, and how your strengths and giftings (and those of your team) can have the most impact for God’s mission.
Other than coaching church-planters in and out of our Communitas community, I am a musician and missional bartender based in Berlin, Germany.

More About Me: I am an ICF (International Coaching Federation) trained coach. I have worked on multicultural teams for twenty years both locally and virtually and am a serial non-profit entrepreneur. I have coached leaders from a variety of cultures in both English and Spanish. I am a certified Clifton Strengths Communicator, a Cultural Intelligence (CQ) trainer/coach, and a Human-centered Design facilitator.
My Coaching Philosophy: I have a natural curiosity of everything around me and have always asked a lot of questions. In coaching, I’ve learned how to leverage those questions to assist others in enjoying themselves, the lives they live, and the people they lead.
Coaching Style: I work well with people who literally feel stuck - in a place, in a problem, in a relationship, in themselves. My deep listening and incisive questions help you identify the subtext of your own life and decide your steps for moving in the direction you choose to go. I provide a non-anxious presence who helps you explore your own depths.

More about me: My husband and I church planted with Communitas for 22 years in Europe. What a colorful, wonderful and at times difficult experience! Now, stateside, I have been training in emotional healing and trauma recovery. I, have been working with people recovering from addiction and trauma for the past 7 years. I’m branching out to help anyone with emotional or relational blocks to find freedom and a way to thrive.
My coaching philosophy: I love helping people find healing and freedom.
I have been using a healing modality called Immanuel Approach, which was birthed out of recent findings in neuroscience. I also use the Enneagram types which are helpful in guiding us quickly to an understanding of why we react to certain triggers or get stuck in negative thought patterns.
Coaching style: A typical session starts with recall of a positive memory and deliberate appreciation, which taps into the parasympathetic (peaceful state) system, establishing a safe place to land when difficult memories pop up. This builds emotional capacity to visit painful memories if needed. We establish a positive interaction with Jesus/Holy Spirit and then see where He takes it. It’s usually very surprising and healing. Certain events in one’s life have created negative belief systems. These usually get identified, disarmed and replaced by powerful truths .

More about Me: My husband and I were church planters in Uruguay, South America among the upper middle class for 15 years. We raised our kids biculturally and developed heart connections with Uruguayans that continue to this day. As a church planter, my main focus was building relationships and much of this included the informal coaching of others.
In 2014 we made an unexpected, permanent transition back to the U.S. and found ourselves in a U.S. church culture we didn’t recognize. This difficult and painful transition, which seemed like the loss of my dreams and calling, became the gateway to an even bigger calling to professional coaching. I am a Certified Professional Coach with the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (IPEC) and an ACC candidate with the ICF (International Coaching Federation).
As a Certified Core Energy Coach, I help my clients identify the motivating thoughts and feelings that propel them through life. Together we increase those that serve the client’s goals, dreams and calling and we render helpless those that block them. The result–the ability to live from a level of engagement, connection and passion where goals and dreams are realized!!!
My Coaching Philosophy: Compassionate and committed to supporting my clients as they discover and step into the dreams God has given them in all areas of their lives and ministry.
