Hi, I'm Belinda,
Your dedicated Mindset Empowerment - Life Leadership Coach!


I am committed to helping  people like you create, live, lead, and share the difference-making life you may have dreamed about even if you don’t think it’s possible.

The secret to a fulfilled life resides within the power of your mind. 

Through my decades long career in emerging healthcare industries as a therapist, coach, and transformational change leader, I have both witnessed and experienced the power of thoughts, words, and choices that guide our actions.


I am on a mission to eradicate thinking that erodes potential!

For over 25 years, I have been empowering professionals, leaders, and coaches to direct their thoughts, choices, and actions to achieve what matters most in their lives, health, careers, and relationships.

Through my coaching programs, my clients learn how to master their mindset and leverage change to propel them toward success in each stage of their life, career, and well-being.

It is a deeply satisfying experience to partner with difference-makers like you and witness how small steps create huge transformations.

Together, we will explore what’s important to you, assess your current position, and design your roadmap to achieve your goals.

 
My journey includes..

I live in SC near most of my family and spend volunteering at Front Porch Housing, a faith-based partnership that helps people recovering from addictions, abuse, homelessness, and human trafficking to reclaim their lives, restore purpose, and realize their potential.

CEO • NC, US

As a missions-minded executive, I knew it was time to take bold steps to realign my career values and purpose. But this transition was more complicated. I talked with Belinda – she was the perfect thought coach for me. I gained new insights and perspectives to successfully navigate this transition. I am grateful for the experience.

Jenna L.


RN, CPXP, Healthcare Leader • SC, US

I sought coaching with Belinda during a time in my life when I was overwhelmed with an urgent need to make a change. I felt trapped and really lacked the emotional energy to structure my own thinking to see where I was heading.

Her program provided a thoughtful framework for me to identify and leverage my natural strengths and imagine what might come next. I learned new ways to navigate all the pieces of this critical change.

Working with Belinda propelled me into a new leadership role that is challenging, but fulfilling, and aligned with my assets and purpose."

Amy R.


Account Manager • CA, US

I cannot praise Belinda's expertise as a leadership coach and training facilitator enough. During our sessions, she guided us through the intricacies of problem-solving, encouraging us to explore creative solutions while carefully considering potential outcomes. Her unique ability to connect events and circumstances broadened our perspectives, enabling us to make more informed decisions.

Under her mentorship, I learned to navigate difficult personalities and successfully fostered a new organizational culture. Belinda's contribution was instrumental in our success, and the skills she imparted will undoubtedly shape my personal and professional life for years to come.

Beth W.


CHES, Account Manager, Health Coaching • FL, US

During the last 15 years Belinda trained, coached, and walked with me through 3 major personal and professional transitions. Shem consistently empowered me to navigate change with increased proficiency, deeper insights, and a genuine hope for the possibilities in my next chapter. Her skills training disparate teams is unmatched as individuals gain relevant skills in an environment that cultivated real collaboration that continued after the workshop.

  • I met Belinda in coach training during my transition into a newly created role for a VIP client. Her expertise and interactive style made training fun and relevant to my work. Belinda’s ability to explore multiple perspectives, streamline efforts, and unerring judgement has been immensely valuable to me.
  • Years later I experienced a life change that disrupted every aspect of my life. I hesitated to get help or financially invest in myself, but I am so glad I contacted Belinda! She was a key partner during this difficult time. I learned more about me, created new boundaries, and did things differently which led to increased influence at work, the ability to rest, and I became a better mom to my neurodivergent children who started to thrive in their lives.
  • It was a no brainer to contact Belinda again after my role expanded into a newly developed leadership role where I felt stuck and overwhelmed at times. She added a new assessment to her program which helped me break free from counterproductive thinking habits and cut through the noise that was holding me back. Belinda’s ability to understand and use different modalities to teach, coach, and support you is priceless! Overwhelm gone, this program changed the way I approach problems, align goals, make decisions, and lead my team!

Adrienne U.


Compliance Analyst • PA, US

When I started the program I was struggling with fear and anxiety. I took an assessment that showed my different ways of thinking and learned I was allowing unhelpful thought habits to come through instead of relying on my assets and best thinking. I am more conscious about my thoughts and have a better process to make and follow through on decisions. At the end of the day, I am just more satisfied and fulfilled as a human being.
