As an ICF-accredited and faith-informed coach, I help Christian professionals and young adults navigate life’s complex seasons with grace and strategic purpose. My change coaching isn’t abstract.

Problem / Solution
Let’s be honest. Change is hard. Even the good, welcomed change is hard. Weddings, addition of a child (through birth, adoption, fostering, remarriage), first job, the “dream” job, moving to an excited location, and/or the long-awaited retirement. And then there is the bad, unwelcomed change, such as divorce, a medical diagnosis, sudden job loss, moving again to a less exciting location, and/or retiring earlier than you planned. These changes can be catalysts for deep personal growth and Identify your ideal client’s pain points and show that you understand their struggles.

About the Coach
Hi! I’m Jaimy!
Burnout, to me, felt oddly familiar like almost drowning on dry land (see my blog), overwhelmed with the “waves” of unmet expectations from people above, around, and below me and the waters had my own unrelenting perfectionism and unyielding perseverance mixed in. It was 2021, and I—and you and the world—had been through a lot. I was burned out like never before. Having accepted Jesus as a little girl, my faith had buoyed me through various trials and difficulties. And yet, this time was different. The love of my husband and family and friends couldn’t reach me. And I was adrift and alone… with God.
My heavenly Father plucked me out of the “water” with this verse and it is the guiding verse of Grace and Mercy Change Coaching (GMCC for short):
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16, NIV)
In our time of need, God’s grace and mercy is available to us and we can do nothing to earn it. This is one of many promises and lessons learned during this challenging time.

What You’ll Experience
I work with the whole person—
• your professional exhaustion AND your spiritual identity,
• your need for boundaries AND your calling,
• your burnout AND your faith questions.
Understanding the Faith Dimension
- I recognize that your burnout isn't separate from your faith—it's intertwined with it.
- We don't just fix your schedule; we realign your relationship with God.
- We address the guilt and shame that comes from human-based expectations, reframing what sacrifice and trust actually mean biblically.
Reclaiming Your Calling Without the Guilt
- Together, we distinguish between God’s calling and unsustainable demands placed on you by culture, expectations, or—let’s be honest—your own perfectionism.
- You'll learn to honor your calling and your humanity—discovering that rest, boundaries, and self-care aren't failures of faith; they're part of how God designed you to flourish.
Preventing Future Burnout
- Unlike a one-time intervention, we will help you build sustainable habits honoring both your calling and your God-given limits.
- You'll develop practices and perspectives rooted in faith that protect you from burnout patterns repeating.
Building Community, Not Isolation
- I help you find language and courage to be honest about your struggles with your loved ones and your faith community, breaking the shame cycle.
- We work on vulnerability as a spiritual strength, not a weakness—something our Lord modeled throughout His earthly ministry.
Integrating Faith and Practice
- We don't just talk about your goals; we can explore your worth beyond your productivity.
- You will become who God needs you to be in every facet of your life.
Faith-Rooted Coaching for Lasting Transformation
Experience a safe, non-judgmental space where Christian values meet evidence-informed coaching. Together, we’ll create sustainable rhythms of growth, accountability, and spiritual alignment—so you can live with renewed purpose and peace.
Turning Burnout Into Purpose
The coaching I am offering is how I coach myself and how I have preempted myself from becoming burned out again!
What I offer has been tested and tried by myself first and continues to help me navigate challenges. While I would love to “turn the page” on what I learned in burnout and move on, I can’t. I know that I am not the only Christian professional who was in burnout.
I trained with the best and am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). So what? Great question! That means I bring you the gold standard in coaching techniques, ethics, and confidentiality. Coaches often say, “when you become a coach, you become your own best coach.” That is completely true for me.
While I was struggling with burnout in 2021, I got a coach who saw far more in me than I could see in myself. That coaching experience was just three sessions, but it had lasting impact! The insights I gained from the coach’s powerful questions set me on a journey of transformation and training to help people like I was helped.
I can say with all my being that God’s grace and mercy changes everything, including burnout! What took me years to learn, I can help you learn in a few sessions.
My Christian faith is integral to my coaching, but it’s a bridge, not a barrier. Our work together will honor your individual journey while offering a faith-based perspective of growth and possibility.
