Why me?

My passion and desire is to help others make significant changes so they can improve the quality of their lives. Struggling with some important lifestyle issues of my own and realizing how much more fulfilling my life is today than it was 30-40 years ago has sent me into life coaching. I now use these skills to help others empower themselves.

I am a graduate in Natural Health Studies from the Clayton College of Natural Health, a successful retired business owner (300 employees), past Chairman of the Board of a large Community Hospital, and a Professional Life Coach.

I am married 45 years; have three children and five grandchildren. My life experience and own personal growth work has aided me in mentoring them and others.

I am a good listener and welcome the opportunity to listen to your dreams, and helping you make them come true.

Testimonials:

“Mel’s intuition, wisdom and clarity helped me to embark on my path to healing and authenticity. As a Coach, his focus and caring provided a safe environment to explore my fears and then move forward with confidence and enthusiasm” Jennifer B.

“Mel has done more to get me in touch with my issues and blocks than twelve years of therapy were able to do. I have brought a new energy to the Man that I intend to be, not the man I want to be. Best of all, Mel does in a truly loving way – tough love with ever present caring.” John T.

"Mel, thank you. Through your use of powerful questions, you enabled me to find my key beliefs that were in conflict and that were holding me back from achieving the health and fitness that I desired. Now that I have identified my conflicts and have looked at the validity of the beliefs, I believe that I can maintain an exercise program and lose weight. Thank you." Holly S.

“I consider myself a highly motivated person, but various life changes left me struggling with inertia. With Mel’s guidance and compassion, I was able to reconnect with my personal goals. Mel helped me quickly develop the skills and discipline needed to incorporate the behavior changes I desired.” R.A.
