Find out how R.J. has helped her clients find and fulfill their Christian calling

"As a life coach, R.J. exemplifies the same high level of spiritual maturity, quick mind, and commitment to excellence that she displayed on our staff. She is passionate about helping people find and follow their calling. When I was processing significant questions about my next season in ministry, I turned to R.J. and I’m so glad I did. The Lord used her coaching to bring me much-needed perspective on where I was and greater clarity on where I’m going. I’m delighted to recommend R.J. to you."

"R.J. helped me explore God’s purpose for transitioning into retirement. I discovered that all of my life experiences—positive and negative—had value and shaped me into who I am today. God’s plans are even greater than I imagined. I now enjoy an exciting and fulfilled retirement lifestyle. R.J., you are a blessing! Through coaching, God changed my life forever!"

Paula

Retired Leader

Federal Government Agency

"Recently I needed to make some long-term decisions about my life and ministry. What I appreciated the most was that R.J. didn’t tell me what I needed to do; instead she guided me with insightful questions that led me to understand how my past, gifting, interests, and experiences connect in God’s plan for my life. I highly recommend R.J. for coaching."

James Roberts


"After suffering ischemic strokes in 2009 and 2013, my life was drastically changed. As a speaker, advisor, and leader of men, I lost my confidence. R.J. listened and offered information to help my understanding. After working with R.J., I have clarity and confidence. I would recommend R.J. for anyone who wants to move forward."

"I thought I came to R.J. to help me find my calling. Little did I know how she would help me heal from a past trauma and move out of a deep valley. Her insightfulness and encouragement helped me find a peace that I’ve never known before and finally move forward with joy. All this while also finding my calling! Thank you, R.J."

"Coaching with R.J. is an empowering journey. R.J. asks insightful questions that unlock ideas and concepts I would not have thought of on my own. I always walk away with something … an action step or a thought to process. With R.J., I start with questions and end with strategy. I highly recommend working with R.J."

Pittsburgh West Region Pastor

"I never thought I needed a life coach, but after 34 years in technology, I was confused enough to try. What a great experience! I identified the mountaintops and valleys of my calling; leaned into my strengths, weaknesses, successes and failures; and became an encourager to kingdom-building entrepreneurs."

Pat Roddy

Director of Business Operations

"R.J. really helped me refine and work through the process of understanding why I was feeling a lull in my current business and which direction to take in my career/business shift. She helped me gain clarity with why I was doing what I was currently doing and shift to where I wanted to go."

"A divorce and setbacks in my business left me rudderless and so I contacted R.J. The transformation in my thought processes has enabled me to pick up the pieces and begin again. Not simply start over, but begin again! It’s a wonderful thing to have passion restored and spiritual focus and balance defined."

"I really enjoy coaching with R.J. As a working mom of six, taking time to reflect on life is difficult. Through coaching, I see how God is working in my life. R.J. helps me learn to trust God’s timing—my faith continues to grow. I am so thankful for her encouragement and guidance. She helps me keep life in perspective."

"R.J. was instrumental in helping me gain new insights into my calling journey as a leader. This clarity has helped me grow in my faith during what author Tony Stolzfus calls the Valley of Identity. If you’re wondering where God is leading and desiring to move forward with purpose and intention, I highly recommend R.J.!"
