Meet Coach Misty

Beyond the Plan

Coaching the person behind the goal.

For more than 25 years, I have helped people work toward goals that mattered to them. Sometimes that meant crossing a finish line, building strength, or returning to movement. Other times, it meant rebuilding confidence, navigating change, or finding the courage to take a next step.

That experience taught me that progress is shaped by more than a plan. What is happening in your health, confidence, responsibilities, relationships, and daily life affects how you move forward. A plan can show you what to do, but it cannot always help you understand what matters, what may be getting in the way, or how you want to show up while you work toward change.

I saw runners struggle to follow well-designed plans—not because they lacked discipline, but because real life was changing around them. I also met people who knew what they thought they “should” do but felt stuck, stretched thin, or disconnected from themselves. Often, what they needed was not another set of instructions. They needed space to slow down, think clearly, recognize their strengths, and decide what meaningful progress looked like for them.

That understanding led me to train professionally in life, health, wellness, behavior change, and client-centered coaching through Coach Training EDU. I wanted to deepen my ability to support the whole person—not only the goal in front of them.

Today, you can work with me through Life, Health & Wellness Coaching, Run & Strength Coaching, or Integrated Coaching. You do not need to be a runner, an athlete, or working toward a fitness goal to work with me in life coaching. Whatever brings you here, we begin with the same principle: we start where you are, clarify what matters, and build the next step together.
