What is Eddy Coaching?
We help individuals and businesses who are aware that something's not working, and it's time to do things differently! Together, we analyze the issues, get creative, and hold you accountable as you make - and stick to - bespoke solutions that ACTUALLY work for YOU.
Coaching can be a powerful and transformative experience for you if you acknowledge that:
1.) You are CAPABLE of change, WILLING to change, and RESPONSIBLE for making change happen.
2.) Change can be messy, uncomfortable, and takes time.
3.) Change is worth it!
When you're feeling stuck, alone, and overwhelmed, it can feel like the universe is against you and that you're starting from behind. And yet, despite that feeling, you still have dreams for more. We are an expert partner in helping you figure out "how to do more, when you're starting with less."
Let's do this.
Our Philosophy
According to basic Ecology, nothing exists in a vacuum.
A hot mess from one area WILL spill over into another, AND small victories in one are can have you feeling more joyful all around.
Your life/business needs to be examined as a whole, and from that, we can prioritize which goals to tackle first, so that the worst can be triaged, and the best can be used as inspiration for further success.
RADICAL HONESTY:
No, this doesn't mean being a jerk and just telling everyone what you're thinking without a filter...
Radical honesty is discovering what you REALLY think, how you REALLY behave, and doing so without judgement.
It's once we acknowledge the abject truth of ourselves and our situation, as well as the role we play in it, that we can take back our power to create real, lasting change.
WHOLE & CAPABLE:
You are baseline functionable, doing your best, AND you want to do better. As the only true expert of YOUR life, you are the most-suited to improving it.
Qualities & Qualifications
I have been developing and honing my methods since 2015, the cherry-on-top being my coach certification, with over 125 hours of training from a Level 2 ICF Accredited Coach Training Program ( https://coachingfederation.org/coaching-education/level-2-accreditation ).
I specialize in Communication and Life Transitions, including:
- team & relationship communication
- overwhelm & burnout prevention
- living with joy & purpose
- goal setting & achievement
- chronic pain & illness
I bring to the table my knowledge from collegiate studies in psychology, biology, and ecology, and many years of work and participation in the medical field. My approach is well-rooted in science, robustly supported by personal experiences, and peppered by my own sarcastic flair!
I am down-to-earth, highly logical, methodical, radically honest, humorous, non-binary, and invisibly disabled.

HOW IT ALL STARTED:
Fast-forward through 10 years of:
- doctors (so. Many. DOCTORS.),
- treatments (both modern and traditional),
- self-explorations (who am I now?),
- and education (Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Chronic Pain Rehabilitation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Action & Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, ICF Coach Training, & way too many self-help books),
to where I had finally discovered an effective and happy self, and a new direction in life. I decided to share my experiences with others in hopes that they (unlike me) wouldn't require a whole damned decade to find their balance, purpose, and joy.
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
"I was feeling very stressed, and felt overwhelmed in trying to take care of my own personal needs and decisions. The stress was affecting my sleep and general health, along with interfering in my ability to relax.
They had me do personal check-ins each week, to ensure I was maintaining the new plans implemented, to be successful in each area and feel encouraged and positive to move forward on new life tasks.
Their coaching communication skills helped to get me focused and targeted on what I wanted/needed to achieve to improve my personal life.
They are very organized and are truly a great mentor for self improvement work, due to their own life experiences and challenges they personally have faced and overcome.
The guidance and tools Eddy has assisted me to develop and use daily has helped me overall manage my stress levels and get more accomplished in daily tasks. I sleep better and feel positive."

"Eddy was able to provide a safe place and by asking the right questions and being their insightful self. The work with them allowed me to move forward in a way and accomplish goals that I haven't been able to do with other coaches or in therapy. I truly appreciate them."
