I’ve known for a long time that I am a coach and trainer at heart who loves helping people have “aha moments,” so I decided to become a certified coach. I’ve been a coach and trainer throughout my career, attending training courses and a Just In Time coaching program when I worked at Optum. As part of that program, I coached more than 20 people who were working through career and personal issues. I’ve also created and led leadership trainings, DEI concepts and other soft-skill courses that helped people become better managers and leaders.
How do I what I do? By shining a light on your strengths and helping you connect with yourself. I’ll ask questions to uncover what it is that you truly want to change, and we’ll dig deep together because sometimes we think it’s one thing, but as we go further, we realize there’s more to it. I promise that everything we do will be focused on you and not on some scripted program. We’ll set small goals, that will add up to larger change, and I’ll never, ever judge you. I will be your cheerleader, your accountability partner and whatever else you might need to make the change you want, and I’ll do this in a way that works best for you.
My ideal clients are open, ready and motivated to take actions that will change their lives and are committed to their personal growth. I am selective about who I will take on as a client because we have to be the right fit. I have access to many other coaches, so if we don’t click or fit, I can find another coach better suited to helping you. One thing I will not do is try to be your therapist. I am not a licensed therapist, and I cannot diagnose, support, or treat mental health conditions. However, Aha Moments works well alongside therapy.

Paula and I connected at a pivotal time in my life and career. I was on a journey of defining my next phase, desiring to ensure my paths are focused on my values and priorities. Coaching with Paula helped me reaffirm my core values and “why’s”. I rediscovered the ways I’m wired, what’s most important to me and what no longer fits into my life. Through this lens I am now better able to define and choose pathways and next steps. One new pathway I’ve created is that I’m in progress to become an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and preparing to launch a new business this summer. What I loved most about coaching with Paula is her kindness and caring. They were evident in everything we did, and the thought she put into each session really showed how she prepared to help me as an individual. Paula selected exercises and conversation starters that were personalized and often built on our prior conversations, not just what comes next in a prescribed program. I’d recommend Paula and The Aha Moments Coaching Program to anyone who needs someone who is passionate about helping people change their lives. -Jennifer M.

Before coaching with Paula, I struggled to take action on a problem that had festered for years. Then Paula held me accountable and helped me tackle my fear so that I could move forward. With her guidance, I reframed the situation and was able to take control of my life. Paula became my cheerleader, encouraging me to keep going and feel good about myself. I was hard on myself because of the situation I was in, but Paula helped me see that things happened the way they needed to at the time. Once I was ready, I was able to take action. I’d recommend Paula and Aha Moments Coaching to anyone who needs someone to hold them accountable in a kind, caring, and non-judgmental way.
What I can offer you?
I have two coaching options as well as a free get-to-know you session. The Aha Moments Coaching program provides long-term support, whereas the Aha Moments Coaching session is for those items that are short-term, in the moment goals or concerns you would like to address.
- The Open the Relationship session: the free get-to-know-you session designed to help us determine whether we're a good fit to work together.
- The Aha Moments Coaching Program will help you discover your strengths, connect with yourself, and overcome fear to move forward and create the life you want by making small, cumulative changes over 12 weeks.
- The Aha Moments Coaching Session is a one-on-one coaching for goals or concerns that don't need long-term support to tackle.
