Hi. I'm Donna Friesen, a certified coach practitioner with an honors certificate in management. My passion is helping people, which is why I chose to become a personal life coach. I strongly believe that life experience is a coach's greatest asset; in fact, I won't coach a client unless I have had similar life experience to their situation. I believe this philosophy sets me apart from other life coaches. My specialties are also unique: 1) Caregiving for child with chronic and/or life-threatening illness or aging parents/relatives. This niche also includes dealing with death and grief. 2) Personal finance management - helping people to budget, create savings, decrease debt, future planning. 3) Chronic pain and/or disability and how it relates to obesity. I help clients identify ways to live with their issue to give them a better life and coach them in their weight loss journey. There is no need to live feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or negative. Empower yourself, feel fantastic!

You may be wondering why you need a life coach. Everybody has a time when they need a little push to get going with something they want to change in their life. You may want to make a change to some aspect of your life but you just don't know where to start; maybe there is an emotional element you are having trouble facing; maybe you think people will laugh at you if you hire a coach; maybe you feel embarrassed because you are where you are. I understand and have had life experience with all of this. It takes a healthy mind and courage to realize you need help with a decision or challenging situation. Think about how great it would be to have your own non-judgmental personal cheerleader to understand, help, support, and encourage you.

Instead of using negative energy worrying or being upset, use positive energy to set and achieve a goal or deal with a difficult situation. more... See more text
