What Makes Our Life Coaching Different?

We come from a Christian perspective, but all are welcome who seek comfort and support! Our Life Coaching sessions are done with both of us working together as a team to help give you twice as much support and encouragement to reach your goals. This unique approach of having two life coaches on a coaching call allows us to share our different experiences to help guide, and motivate you to success! If at any time you would like to speak to one of us individually, this could be arranged.

"Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two" Matthew 5:41

GOALS

The primary goal of life coaching is to encourage, motivate, and inspire the client to maximize their personal and professional potential. Our life coaching is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional, or business goals and to develop a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

As your life coaches, we are here to support your creative awareness & engage in a focus of your values & what you want for your future goals. Our approach will be energetic & understanding to your needs & will actively seek your commitment to your goals!

OUR PROMISE

As a successful educator, and coach, we promise to help you reconnect with the "REAL" you to help you reach your full potential as God intended! We will go through this journey together & find common ground for your utmost goals along the way, be prepared to learn more about yourself!

MISSION

Our mission is to help guide you through the maze of everyday life & to find balance while creating your Hacienda de Paz at Home & within you!

OUR COMMITMENT

We are committed through years of experience, myself as a Registered Nurse, BS in Psychology, & Masters level Life Coaching Certification & my husband, a Psychology Professor with a Doctorate in Social Work, to bring our knowledge & training to the embodiment of life coaching.

Our Life Coaching Approach

“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all else will follow.” - Matthew 6:33

Our mission is to “Open Hearts and Minds” through quality educational opportunities for individuals and groups through “Learning made Fun” workshops, seminars, and coaching.

We believe in order to understand relationships & behaviors of others, it starts with understanding your relationship with the S.E.L.F. - “Spiritually Evolving Life Force”

We believe we all are teachers & students of life with teachable moments & opportunities to both guide & model appropriate social behavior.

We see life as a classroom, motivated to inspire, & entertain while teaching. We also share practical, proven strategies you can use effectively in your life – immediately!

Our goal is to help you reconnect with the "REAL" authentic you to help you reach your full potential as God intended!

About Us

People often ask us how we became life coaches and the best way to describe our journey is the Rascal Flatts song “Bless the Broken Road.” Before Deb and I got together, we each experienced our own personal broken roads. We separately experienced divorce, death of parents, loved ones passing from cancer, rejection from family members, and the stressors of everyday life. Yet, through all of the struggles, we both held on to God and learned to “let go and let God,” especially when it came to our relationship. We realized our journey together was to use our personal and professional experiences to help others find peace and balance in life.

Steve Ornelas Ph.D.

I have spent over 25 years educating students as a Professor of Psychology, and as a Life & Career Consultant/Coach. I focus on Home/Work Balance, Career Personal & Social Adjustment issues, Stress Management, & Self-Improvement Techniques for balancing Mind, Body, and Spirit. I see myself as an Internal Explorer seeking to understand myself before trying to understand the thoughts and behaviors of others. It is through self-reflection or internal exploration that I see life as a classroom with opportunities to learn about self and others. I am here to motivate, inspire, and serve as a sounding board to help you with your personal walk/journey with God. I am excited to help you begin your Internal Explorer’s Journey to reveal the blessings and opportunities God has set for you in this classroom of life!

Testimonials

Being a counselor, I have witnessed the power of change that can occur during the counseling process, although I had not explored it for myself until I met Steve. The Internal Explorer perspective has been an incredibly validating experience. Having Steve reassure, gently redirect or completely challenge my perspective has helped me grow, personally, as a counselor and student. My perspective of being a spiritual being having a human experience has refocused my perspective to understand that all of life’s moments teach us something if we are open to being students. I often say everyone needs a Steve in their life!

Steve and Debbie are great! Over the last few years, I have gone through some very traumatic events in my life. The passing of both my mother and father as well as the passing of my father-in-law, coupled with a divorce and career change brought a tremendous amount of stress, anxiety, and heartache into my life. Without the love and support of Steve and Debbie, I'm not sure where that spiral and darkness could have led me? The last few years have provided me the opportunity to grow as an individual, mentally, physically, and spiritually... their professional guidance along the way, helped me take a true look within, do the 'dirty' work necessary to learn and grow as an individual. I recognize now that I am not alone, I have a toolbox of reading, writing, meditation, and prayer that help me on this journey. I am lucky to have both Steve and Debbie as life coaches, but more importantly, I call them my friends!
