Even You Can Benefit From a Coach!


As your coach, I am focused on helping you move forward as it relates to your personal (or professional) goals, hope, and interests. I focus on what you want to achieve and help you identify and acknowledge the answers that you already have within you.

Here are some reasons people work with a coach. Not sure if working with a coach is for you? Schedule a brainstorming call and we can discuss potential benefits.

What’s Being Said About Life Coach Margaret

One conversation with Margaret sparked so many ideas for me to expand and improve my life coaching practice. Margaret listened to me talk about my love of houseplants, and then she proposed a plan to integrate plant care with self-care in my coaching services. Margaret’s attentiveness and creative thinking planted the seed that blossomed into the Self-Care Garden program. Everyone needs a coach like Margaret who uses an innovative approach to creating opportunities in their business.

Make Writing a Habit

There are so many benefits of writing. Writing can help reduce stress – so it’s good for your health. Writing improves your ability to communicate, which can aide relationships and helps improve your self-confidence.

In our “Why Write?” series, we will explore how writing can used to live – and not just survive – after domestic violence (or other hardships).

When you make time to write, you’re making an investment in your health and well-being!
You don’t need to do everything on your own or alone. There is support lifting up every success story.
