This Work Is For You If You Are Ready For Real Change

You want more than quick fixes. You are ready for grounded support that honors your career, your health, and your inner world at the same time.

✦

You are standing at a crossroads in your career or identity and want clear, honest direction.

✦

You feel successful on paper yet something inside you is asking for a deeper, more aligned life.

✦

Your body or nervous system is whispering that the pace, pressure, or stress is not sustainable.

✦

You want support that includes both strategy and inner work, so you are not just pushing through.

✦

You are tired of thinking in circles and want a partner who will both champion you and challenge you.

✦

You want your work, relationships, health, and inner life to finally move in the same direction.

And if you’re seeking support for a single decision, transition, or challenge, one-time clarity sessions are available too.

Hi!

I’m Cherie, and I’m a certified Career and Life Coach – with training in whole-person coaching, behavior change, somatic awareness, and inner work.

If you’re here, something in your life is asking for more.

More clarity. More alignment.
More honesty. More depth.
Maybe even more courage.

You might be at a crossroads in your career or identity, feeling the pull toward a chapter you can’t quite name yet.

Or you might feel successful on paper, but something deeper is asking for a life that actually feels like you.

Wherever you are, I’m here to help you make meaningful, grounded progress – not through quick fixes, but through coaching that honors all of you.

That includes your:

– Career and leadership

– Health, habits, and wellbeing

– Inner world, emotional patterns, and nervous system

Because real transformation happens when every part of your life finally points in the same direction.

I bring experience working with over 300 corporate (Fortune 500) and non-corporate recruiters – from Google, Deloitte, Walt Disney, and McKinsey to small mission-driven companies.

I deeply understand what it takes to build a career you love, tell your story with confidence, and step into the roles you want. But I also know that strategy alone isn’t enough. Your body, your beliefs, and your internal patterns all shape the results you get.

My work weaves practical career strategy with inner clarity, emotional grounding, and whole-person alignment – so you don’t just change jobs, you change your life from the inside out.

Whether you’re seeking direction, support through a transition, or a partner who sees your full potential… welcome. You’re in the right place.

Together, we will create the best life for now and your future.

My clients come from many cultural backgrounds, ages (18 to 70), spiritual backgrounds (secular to spiritual or religious), relationship statuses (single, divorced, married), and genders.

Navigating the world with a dual frame of reference, such as having parents from a country outside the U.S. or moving through divorce and then creating a new family, or contemplating an entirely new career change and identity, can deeply impact the way you show up in the world. All of these have had a huge impact on me and have helped me grow into a more grounded, compassionate human. I want to help you get there, too.

Questions like Who am I?
are so important to consider, as well as
Who am I becoming and being?

I have traveled extensively around the world, am the daughter and partner of immigrants, and deeply appreciate the learning that comes from embracing alternative viewpoints. I am committed to holding total acceptance for who you are and how you have arrived, and I believe in the power of following what brings you joy and fulfillment to create a present and future that you love.

Credentials, Training, and Such…

Beyond my formal training, much of my work is shaped by lived experience. I serve as the CEO of the Healed Healer Institute, founded by my amazing husband, where he leads a conscious-heart approach for therapists and coaches, while I support the vision, technology, and operations behind the scenes.

At home, we’re raising two wonderful young humans in a blended family that has taught us so much about love, resilience, and growth – lessons that quietly shape the grounded, compassionate way I show up for my clients.

My Core Coaching Modalities

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Coaching

IFS acknowledges the many inner parts within us, each with their own stories, fears, and gifts. Through gentle parts work, you learn to understand your inner system, soften old protective patterns, and access the grounded wisdom of your core Self.

My training includes a year long IFS immersion, advanced study with a Level 3 IFS therapist, certification through the IFS Institute’s coaching program, and enrollment in their Online Circle and Foundations programs.

Somatic and Ontological Coaching

Your body is one of your greatest sources of wisdom. Somatic coaching helps you tune into physical signals, unwind old patterns with compassion, and shift the way you stand, speak, and show up in the world. This work blends neuroscience, embodiment, and presence so you can align your inner experience with the life you’re creating.

Over time, you learn to listen to your body, heart, and mind as an integrated system so you can move forward with clarity and deeper self-trust.

Certified Newfield Network Coach for Personal & Professional Mastery

Newfield’s ontological coaching goes far beyond strategy. It helps you shift your way of being – the language you use, the moods you inhabit, and the patterns held in your body. This work invites profound self-awareness, grounded action, and meaningful transformation.

Through my training with Newfield, I help clients create sustainable change from the inside out so they can navigate life and leadership with more presence, intention, and authenticity.

Professional Certified Coach (PCC), International Coaching Federation

As a PCC-level coach with the International Coaching Federation, I’ve completed extensive training, mentorship, and hands-on practice to deepen my practice.

This credential reflects my commitment to ethical practice, deep listening, and creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. It also represents my dedication to lifelong learning so I can show up with clarity, grounded insight, and true partnership as you reconnect to the wisdom already within you.

Certified Enneagram Business Coach

The Enneagram is one of my favorite tools for understanding our inner motivations, patterns, and ways of relating. It helps clients gain clarity about their strengths and blind spots, build healthier relationships, and move through transitions with more confidence and compassion.

Through this work, you learn to recognize what drives you and what frees you – opening the door to greater self-awareness, better communication, and a more aligned way of living and working.

(And yes – I’m a 7. What number are you?)

Whole-Person Well-Being & Behavior Change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Motivational Interviewing

With training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I support clients in understanding the patterns beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together we explore what may be getting in the way, strengthen inner encouragement, and practice new ways of responding to challenges. Rather than forcing change, we work through a compassionate, collaborative process that builds clarity, confidence, and resilience over time. This approach helps create healthier habits, more empowering mindsets, and sustainable forward movement.

NBC-HWC Certified Master Health & Wellness Coach

With a lifelong passion for wellness and formal training as a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I help clients reconnect with their bodies as a source of clarity, intuition, and strength. Together we explore gentle, sustainable shifts in areas such as stress, sleep, energy, nourishment, and self compassion. My approach blends evidence based coaching tools with deep, heart centered listening so you feel supported, capable, and empowered as your inner and outer lives move toward greater balance.

Metaphors of Movement (MoM)

With training in Metaphors of Movement (trained directly with international instructor Mark Andreas), we work with the unconscious metaphors that shape how people experience feeling stuck, repeating patterns, or hitting the same walls. Through precise, embodied language, we explore the deeper imagery beneath your current strategies and what may be ready to shift. This process offers insight into why certain approaches are not working and opens space for natural forward movement, creating clarity and change without force or analysis.

Career Strategy and Leadership Development

Pivot Career Coach

Pivot is based on Jenny Blake’s award winning book, Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One, and her four stage Pivot Method that has helped thousands navigate big career and life transitions. This framework grew out of Jenny’s work co creating Google’s global coaching program, Career Guru, and is still used there today.

At its core, Pivot centers around four simple repeatable questions:

• What’s working
• What does success look like
• What’s out there
• What can I try

This approach helps you break big changes into small safe experiments so clarity can emerge through action. As a certified Pivot coach, I help clients move through transition with grounded strategy, curiosity, and confidence.

20+ Years Career Services Experience + GCDF

With over 20 years in the career services field, I’ve supported leaders, teams, and job seekers through major transitions and professional growth.

I’m trained in StrengthsFinder, MBTI, Design Your Life, VIA, values work, and Positive Psychology.

I also hold the Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) certification, a nationally recognized 120 hour program rooted in the 12 core competencies created by the National Career Development Association (NCDA).

This foundation helps me guide clients toward clarity, direction, and confidence as they navigate what’s next.

“Cherie has been instrumental in helping me to better understand my strengths and values and has given me the self-confidence I needed to pursue a SIGNIFICANT career path change, including a business sale. I will FOREVER be grateful to her!”

Résumé Writing Excellence Certification (NRWA)

I create résumés that open doors. With training from the National Résumé Writer’s Association (NRWA), I’ve helped hundreds of clients communicate their value with clarity and confidence.

Nearly every client I work with lands interviews – often faster and with far more ease than they expected.

My approach blends storytelling, strategy, and modern hiring insights so your résumé reflects who you are and where you’re headed.

“The difference in my résumé and LinkedIn is night and day. Truly incredible – totally worth her fee.”

“What Cherie did to my résumé was a game changer – it helped me land my new role and opened the door for others.”
