Life Coaching
Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Life coaching focuses on helping individuals gain clarity, direction, and momentum in areas where they may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain. Many people know what they want to change but struggle with follow-through, confidence, or consistency. Life coaching provides a structured, supportive way to move from insight to action.
My approach to life coaching is practical, personalized, and goal-oriented. Drawing on decades of experience in healthcare, business, and leadership, I work collaboratively with clients to clarify priorities, strengthen motivation, and develop realistic strategies for change. When appropriate, hypnosis may be integrated to help address subconscious patterns that interfere with progress, such as self-doubt, procrastination, or fear of change.
Clients often seek life coaching during transitions—such as career changes, retirement, personal growth phases, or periods of increased stress. Sessions are designed to be supportive and empowering, helping clients build confidence, focus, and accountability while maintaining control and autonomy throughout the process.
Life coaching is not psychotherapy or medical treatment and does not replace care from licensed healthcare or mental health professionals. It is offered as a complementary service to support personal development, clarity, and long-term fulfillment.

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Life Coaching after betrayal trauma focuses on helping you move forward with clarity, strength, and intentional direction. While trauma stabilization is foundational, many clients reach a point where they are ready to rebuild - their identity, boundaries, relationships, and future vision. My coaching approach is structured, goal-oriented, and grounded in trauma-informed principles. Together, we work on self-trust, decision-making, confidence, and creating a life that aligns with your values after betrayal.
Coaching is forward-focused, empowering you to step out of survival mode and into purposeful growth.
