Certified Life Coach

Speaks English, Panjabi, Punjabi

I work with people navigating major life transitions such as divorce, relationship changes, family restructuring, and personal identity shifts. These seasons can feel destabilizing, and my role is to help clients stay emotionally steady, think clearly, and move forward with grounded direction. My approach is practical, structured, and honest. I help clients regulate their responses under stress, rebuild confidence after disruption, and make strong decisions about what comes next. This is not motivational coaching. It is steady, forward focused support during real change. Clients come to me when they want calm guidance, clear perspective, and meaningful progress as they rebuild their next chapter of life.

It Was Time for a Change

Roughly seven years ago, I set out to alter my life (without realizing it at the time). Despite being a high-achiever & high-performer, the way I was living had become unsustainable. 

 

Externally focused, I tended to the personal & professional needs, demands, & desires of others. Anticipating & fulfilling others’ needs was a strength bolstered by my listening, observation, problem-solving, & pattern-finding skills. It helped me feel useful, impactful, & powerful. I was calm, composed, & influential. 

 

My life was good on paper; a successful career, a lengthy marriage, a healthy, well-rounded, happy son, friends & family, & a beautiful home complete with a cat & dog. Objectively on the surface, I had “nothing to complain about” & would often verbalize that. Yet saying so in response to “how are you?” often felt like I was betraying my true self & lived experience. 

 

I felt largely invisible. Inadvertently & self-destructively, I had designed it that way over time.

 

Life had become a never-ending roller coaster of personal & professional burnout. Each climb to a place of safety, security, & happiness felt like the slow, deliberate, initial ascent of the coaster before it gets released. The plummets & loops into frustration, isolation, & self-loathing were swift, head rattling, & disorienting. Their intensity & frequency were increasing. The amount of time I spent in actual ease & contentment was diminishing. I was losing myself inside yet doing my best to perform & keep up appearances.

 

I knew deep down that I wanted & deserved a better life; a better, truer version of me. I wanted my son & the world to get to know me without all of the self-protecting masks & walls. 

 

The main challenge: I wasn’t entirely sure who that was, I hadn’t met her yet.

 

Embarking on My Journey

A lengthy, deep self-discovery & transformation process began. I initially set out on this task in isolation. It was slow-going, unguided, haphazard, & inconsistent, but it got me moving.

 

Thousands of hours of late-night research & dedicated learning ensued. I’d start investigating a particular topic or path, find that it got close but didn’t fully address my particular situation, & would course correct accordingly. I collected countless new tools, learnings, modalities, & insights. Aspects of myself that had been hidden were illuminated & uncovered. I was on a mission of self-improvement & was adamant to find my way.

 

At first, employing tools & learnings (like recognizing & releasing limiting beliefs & unhelpful coping mechanisms) required deliberate thought, effort, & energy. As with anything new or challenging, it required patience, practice, & reps to develop the muscle memory needed to uplevel.

 

Along this process, I discovered the immeasurable impact of life coaching. It was a complete game changer for me. 

 

Finally feeling truly seen, heard, valued, respected, & understood provided the solid foundation I’d been missing all along. Simple, deliberate actions built upon one another & took me to new, unforeseen heights. Objectivity, reframing, perspective shifting, & taking action with accountability were key coaching tools that propelled my enlightenment & empowerment. 

 

Life coaching allowed me to gain nearly exponential momentum beyond what I was achieving on my own.

 

Unleashing My Potential

All of this led to life-changing breakthroughs, trajectory changes, & unanticipated, positive end results. I gained clarity & direction as I proceeded step by step, putting one foot in front of the other, not rushing the process.

 

Life has become beautiful in ways I never would have anticipated, & it feels like the best parts are still yet to come. While this journey is very much a continuous work in progress with its ebbs & flows, challenges, & setbacks; I’m excited & impassioned to see where it leads. 

 

I couldn’t & can’t do it alone. Neither should you.

 

I’ve unleashed the most unfettered, true, authentic version of myself to date. My potential feels unlimited. I love who I’ve become, & my external world reflects that back personally & professionally.

 

I want that for you too.

Hi, 

I am a 67.5 year old free spirit who refuses to grow old gracefully! 

But I struggle with all the same daily surprises many of us do of feeling an age that does not match my biological age. Sometimes I walk past a mirror and ask “who is that?” 

Self acceptance and self love is an ongoing process at this time in our lives, and vital to learn a way to practice. 

At 60 I closed my eyes, took a tremendous leap of faith and completely started my life over. I wanted to live life “authentically me” at any cost.

I walk the walk and talk the talk, and have a deep passion to go on your journey at this new threshold with UBU!

It's never too late to try anything new, and you can still follow your dreams!

Adding an element of creativity only enhances our coaching sessions.

 

I was a Board Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor for 20 years. I also owned and operated Art A Go Go, an Open Art Studio For Discovery & Recovery.

I shared my love and commitment to my profession teaching Art Therapy and Expressive Therapies in several under graduate and graduate schools.

Becoming a Creative Life Coach is my dream post retirement career.

Trauma & Family Systems Coach | Co-Founder, Jennifer Acker & Associates

3 years of experience | $200 - $250 per session

new york, US

Speaks English

Long before I trained in APSATS, RTT®, and trauma-informed ICF coaching, I was learning what it means to rebuild from the inside out. My path has moved through loss, betrayal, family rupture, and reinvention — experiences that now inform every part of how I hold space for others.

I know what it’s like to keep everything together on the surface while feeling disoriented beneath it. Healing for me didn’t arrive as one breakthrough. It came in layers — through therapy, recovery, and the slow work of unlearning patterns of codependency, survival, and disconnection.

Before becoming a practitioner, I built a long career across high-intensity industries and leadership roles. That season taught me how ambition and burnout often coexist — and how easily we lose our voice while meeting everyone else’s expectations.

Today, I integrate lived experience with evidence-based training in RTT®, trauma-informed coaching, Hypnotherapy, and APSATS partner-trauma education (in certification). My work centers on helping individuals and families navigate grief, relational trauma, and the aftereffects of betrayal — creating steadiness, clarity, and a deeper return to self.

Whether it’s growing and healing from a broken relationship, jumpstarting a new career, rekindling your joy for life or just looking at life’s wonderful possibilities, coaching is for you. We will work together to build on your many strengths, explore your potential, create purpose and walk this journey of life together.

You’ll be working with someone who has 20 years of experience as a Mental Health Therapist. Over those years, a majority of my clients have been women who have suffered some kind of betrayal at the hands of their partner. Even as a therapist I have done a considerable amount of coaching with my clients and am looking forward to focusing on that aspect of my work.

How is therapy different from coaching, you ask? Good question! Therapy is often focused on the past and on the trials that may have at least partially been caused by a mental illness. Coaching on the other hand, is about focusing on the present and creating possibilities for your future.

I work with adult individuals who want to create a meaningful life filled with hope and possibilities. Our sessions will be virtual so we can connect wherever you are! Sessions are 50 minutes at $175  per session.

Give me a call or shoot me an email so we can start diving into your wonderful life together!

Jo Haskin profile photo

Life Transition & Grief Coach

1 year of experience | $175 - $250 per session

Roseville, US

Speaks English

Jo Haskin is a Certified Life and Grief Coach and an Emmy-nominated Producer who blends two decades of film and television storytelling with coaching. Drawing on her background managing multi-million-dollar productions and sensitive, real-life narratives, she helps clients navigate life’s transitions, loss, and renewal with clarity, compassion, and grounded strategy.

Throughout her life and career as a Producer, Jo has navigated constant transitions, seasons of uncertainty, and profound experiences of loss—including the deaths of her younger sister, Janel, her dad, Earl, as well as grandparents, great-grandparents, dear friends, and beloved pets. These lived experiences, combined with her own healing work in individual and group therapy, allow her to hold space for clients with deep empathy, non-judgment, and respect for the many ways grief shows up across a lifetime.

Jo has been supporting others through listening, guidance, and care for most of her life. Her path began at age 16 as a camp counselor, girls’ softball coach, and umpire, and continued with formal peer counseling training during high school. She earned a degree in Child Development from Sacramento State University, with a strong foundation in psychology, and later served as a Camp Fire Leader, mentoring teenage girls. Over the years, she has naturally become a trusted source of support for employees, colleagues, family, and friends as someone others turn to during moments of transition and uncertainty.

Jo is most proud of her 30-plus-year marriage to her husband, Kevin, whom she met while still in high school. Now in their third decade together, they are settled in their third home with their third dog, Desilu. Their life has been shaped by shared goals, experiences and laughter —building businesses, living at the beach in Los Angeles for twelve years, pursuing careers in film and television, traveling, and, above all, valuing time with each other and loved ones.

In addition to her work with clients, Jo is currently producing a documentary exploring mental health and equine-assisted therapy, highlighting the power of connection, support, and healing.

Her coaching practice and creative work share the same mission: to create safe spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to write the next chapter of their story.
