I have often wondered what this profession is, especially as it's grown in popularity recently. You have written such inspirational articles and I am sure you are such a blessing in many lives. :) Thanks for sharing and I love reading your articles. I seem to learn so much!

I am even wondering if we should adjust our business to accommodate it! Great post and best of luck to you (and Yvonne!) getting your practices to the top!

I have 3 adult children and a 15-year-old daughter at home. I have a passion for women's ministry, helping single moms, and women who have been abused in ever arena! I don't want to take up too much time so I'll be as brief as possible. I attended Oral Roberts University for 5 years and received two masters degrees (Master of Divinity and Christian Counseling - Marriage and Family Therapy). I did my practicum/internship with Domestic Violence Intervention Services (DVIS). Although I loved working with the women and felt I was in my "element" (anointing), I did not like working in the secular arena. Going through the program, I just did not sense God wanting me to get a license in that field. I have love working one-on-one and having that close connection and interaction working with women and help them as much as possible. I have done group counseling and started workshops out of my home and I absolutely love it. I have looked into Christian Life Coaching and it is definitely something that I see myself doing among other things. Is there anyway I can offer this type of service to women without have to go back to school for it? When I go back to school, I want to go back for my doctorate in pastor counseling. I have done my research and know the difference between be a therapist (counselor) and having a coaching practice. I think the advantage for me is that I have been trained to recognize mental illnesses and can suggest additional help from a licensed counselor to help them. Basically, I want to know how can I start my own Christian life coaching ministry/business? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
