Welcome to Balance Restored Life Coaching!

Hi, I’m Kathy, the founder of Balance Restored Life Coaching. I’d like to share a little of my story with you.

My journey to becoming a Life Coach evolved over more than two decades. I married young, raised two beautiful children, and went to college after they were grown. My professional work has spanned three New England states - Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I have worked in correctional facilities, nonprofit human service agencies, and most recently in Adult Education as a Transitions Coordinator.

I’ve grown both personally and professionally because of the challenging, yet extremely fulfilling work I’ve done, and continue to do. Learning is a lifelong process!

As a divorced woman and a person in long-term recovery, I understand what it’s like to be in transition. As challenging as those experiences have been, I emerged with a greater sense of self and a feeling of connectedness to the suffering in the world. Suffering is personal to each of us and is also something we share. It’s part of being human.

Life can throw us off balance, causing a sense of confusion, doubt, and uncertainty. The good news is that the balance can be restored. Sometimes we just need someone to walk alongside us, to truly listen without authority or judgment, and to offer us the individualized, appropriate tools to help us gain clarity, make empowered choices, and move confidently forward in our lives.

That’s what I’m here for, as your Life Coach.

I would be honored to guide and support you on your path to balance and wellness!
