Carrie Schaeffer
Certified Life Coach

I life coach because I believe everyone can change, grow, and learn, and I love watching people’s lives transform for the better. It is my honor to be invited into my clients’ stories and help them navigate where they want to go.

I specialize in helping my clients cultivate kind and nurturing relationships with themselves. I believe healthy self-esteem and acceptance are foundational and essential for building healthy relationships with others as well as for validating and achieving our life purposes and goals.

I am a certified Life Coach as well as a certified Master NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Processing) Practitioner. I believe in using a variety of different tools and resources in my coaching; if one tool or method doesn’t resonate with a client, I easily pivot in another direction to find a resource they do connect with. I operate under the assumption that no one is broken or a “lost cause.” I approach my sessions with hope, curiosity, and creativity, always believing my clients already have the answers within them; my job is to help them uncover them. I also teach Enneagram workshops and Mission/Vision facilitations for corporations and organizations.

I love helping creators unlock their potential. As an artist myself, I continually walk through the creative process, and I believe mindsets and what we tell ourselves have a huge impact (for better or worse) on what we create.

In my spare time, I write fiction for myself and nonfiction for several publications, perform in local operas, plan murder mysteries for nonprofit organizations, design and craft pies, and spend time with my husband and two young sons.

My Approach

In all my life coaching sessions, the expert on all things you is YOU.
I don’t tell you what to do or how to think; instead, I help you process and uncover subconscious thoughts and beliefs so we can explore and evaluate them together.
In every session, I commit:

  • to actively listen to you

  • to show up to sessions with hope and curiosity

  • to maintain a creative and open mind to problem solving

  • to believe in your ability to change and grow.

I am a fellow traveler, with you on your journey. I am a support who holds space for you when change feels overwhelming. I am a friend who believes you already have everything you need to reach your goal. As your coach, I bring training, tools, and experience to the table,
All I expect you to bring is a goal and an open mind.
