We’re Your Coaches and Mentors

annette and ada

We are mother and daughter, teachers, kindred spirits, and friends. We have been working together since 2013 to bring healing and hope to our global community. Drawing on our education in business management (Annette) and sociology and human services (Ada) and further training in coaching, Nonviolent Communication, the Enneagram, boundaries, addiction, suicide prevention and postvention, goals, habits, meditation, mindfulness, and more, we bring our unique style of coaching and mentoring to all our offerings.

What is most important to us is that everyone is given the opportunity for:

  • Self-realization

  • Living beyond their conditioning

  • Safety for self-expression and acceptance

  • The freedom to recognize their own value

Every now and then we receive a testimonial that honestly moves us to tears. We received this one out of the blue and want to share it with you:

In the spring of 2018, I had just been released from jail. At the time, I was living out of my car, could not keep a job, was struggling with many health issues, and was contemplating why I was even alive. About this time, I saw a book club activity on my Meetup app and went. There I met Annette and Ada. After we got acquainted, they offered me their coaching services, and I accepted.

They helped me work through issues I was having with work. They helped me find a reason to live. They pointed out some quirks I had in my personality and how they could also be considered a gift. I read three books they showed me and began to make progress back into life. Then one day, they pointed out that whenever I talk about my healing journey with my health that I light up. They said because of my excitement for health, I could help others.

Since then, I've been wanting to do that. I'm making progress towards having a business of my own in health coaching, with some delays as I deal with a giant wave of difficult karma. In the meantime, I've had a few times when I've been a positive influence for others who were lost on their health journey, and I was able to point them in the right direction.

Annette and Ada were right about me. They saw what I could not see and gifted me with a belief in myself that I could not develop on my own. The past is truly past but mercifully visible to draw lessons from. Working with Annette and Ada is refreshing because of their non-judgmental way of loving and leading me into my strengths.

 “Annette and Ada helped me understand why I am the way I am. They went way beyond my expectations.”
