Christian Life Coach: Faith-Based Coaching
Part Cheerleader, Part Drill Sergeant.
Through personalized coaching, faith-based strategies, and unwavering support, I will help you lead a more fulfilling, joyous life.
Who This Is For
When your obligations constantly trump your own basic needs, it’s time for something to change.
You’re the one who supports and uplifts everyone else- and you’re GOOD at it. But who’s showing up for YOU?
Feel a little guilty just reading that? That’s a clear sign something needs to change.
This is for the woman who is at the point in her life where she just needs someone to show up for her- to help her reclaim her peace, her identity and her joy.
How Faith Shows Up in Coaching
My faith is part of everything I do, including coaching. But you don’t have to share my faith to work with me.
Here’s what that looks like:
- I open our sessions in prayer, if you’re comfortable with that.
- I’ll pray with you when you want me to. If you don’t, I won’t.
- When a verse fits what we’re working on, I’ll share it.
- Your custom plan includes faith and spiritual practices, right alongside exercise, nutrition and your home. The spiritual practices are the ones you choose: prayer (including praying while you walk a labyrinth), Scripture reading, journaling or quiet time.
Want Splankna in the mix? SPARK includes six optional Splankna sessions- a Christian modality that begins with listening prayer and uses energy techniques.
Straight Talk and Accountability
You don’t need more information. You need a real plan, and someone who will hold you accountable so you don’t slide back into old habits the second life gets busy again.
I’ll cheer you on. I’ll also tell you the truth- even when it’s not what you want to hear.
A Whole-Life Approach: Body, Mind, Spirit, Space and Relationships
Your life isn’t compartmentalized, and your transformation shouldn’t be either. As a holistic life coach, I look at all of it:
- Body: movement, nutrition, sleep, hydration and energy
- Mind: stress, emotional awareness, mental clarity and resilience
- Spirit: purpose, connection to something greater, your values, inner peace and gratitude
- Space: your home, your surroundings, your digital life and time in nature
- Relationships: boundaries, close relationships, your support network, communication and community

Start With a Consultation
This 90-minute consultation isn’t a sales pitch- it’s a straight conversation to figure out whether SPARK or ICE is right for you, and whether we’re the right fit for each other. Your $250 consultation fee is credited toward either program. This is about clarity, NOT commitment.
Questions About Christian Life Coaching
Do I have to be a Christian?
No. My faith is part of everything I do, but you don’t have to share my faith to work with me.
Is this the same as counseling?
No. I am NOT a therapist, counselor or medical professional, and coaching is not a substitute for that kind of care. If you’re looking for clinical therapy for a diagnosed condition, coaching isn’t the right fit. Read my disclaimer.
Is coaching online or in person?
Both. SPARK is virtual. ICE is live-in, where I come alongside you in your daily life.
Do you work with men?
Yes. Most of my clients are women, but I work with men too.
How do I get started?
Book your consultation. If we’re a match, we’ll schedule a follow-up to handle investment and contract details.
Your Coach
I’m Sheli Dodson- Master Certified Splankna practitioner, Listening Splankna Certified, and founder of Desiderata Consulting. Part Cheerleader, Part Drill Sergeant.
My finance career was built on relationships. I spent a lot of time handling sensitive topics, helping people get comfortable with hard conversations, and managing risk (which, it turns out, is a LOT like resolving conflict). Then, as a five-star Airbnb hostess, I made sure every guest felt welcome and at ease.
What does that mean for you? I know how to build trust fast- and how to help YOU build it with the people in your life. I know how to make a hard conversation feel safe, spot what’s really getting in your way, and get creative when the usual fixes haven’t worked. So if you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed or alone right now, you don’t have to stay there. Let’s figure out what’s next- together.
