About Coach Carrie

I’ve been where you are and I’m living proof that change is possible.

It was the acknowledgement that I wasn’t living the life I had dreamed that pushed me to learn more about how I could live a more fulfilling life. In doing so, I leaned on my faith while I cultivated insight and tools to help myself and eventually others reach their full potential.

I have merged my extensive schooling and years of practical experience to develop a faith-based understanding of how to inspire others to reach their life goals. My practical experience includes:

• BA in Sociology from Iowa State University
• More than two decades working in leadership positions in the non-profit and corporate environment
• Studied with the Career Coaching Institute
• Elite Life Coaching Certification from the Coach Mindset Elite Life Coach Training Program
• Board Certified Mental Health Coach (AACC)
• Certified Stephen Ministry Leader
• Certified Spiritual Director

I’m married to my best friend Chad, and we have four children. We live in Ames, Iowa and in our free time, we enjoy lake activities, attending Iowa State sporting events, biking, running, hiking, church activities and just hanging out with family and friends.

My Process

I work with people, just like you, who have high integrity, a belief in a higher power, and are ready for growth in at least one area of life. Together we work on creating what your strong foundation looks like. Understanding this will help you gain clarity with your vision, master your mindset, and ultimately create a game-plan so that YOU can start experiencing MORE meaning, purpose and joy that isn’t revolved around what the world tells you is success. The end result is a life with MORE joy!
