Kerry Life Coach

About Kerry — Life Coach for Women Healing from Toxic Relationships

Hi, I’m Kerry—and I’m truly glad you’re here.

Originally from sunny California and now living in North Carolina for over 25 years, I’ve walked the winding path of personal growth, motherhood, and professional transformation. My life’s journey has shaped my mission: to help women break free from toxic relationship patterns, rediscover their self-worth, and create lives rooted in peace, purpose, and self-love.

For decades, I struggled with the impact of emotionally abusive and toxic relationships—starting in childhood and continuing into adulthood. I know the weight of emotional manipulation, the confusion of trauma bonds, and the toll these relationships take on your confidence and inner peace. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to helping women heal from toxic relationships and reclaim their power.

As a certified life coach, I specialize in supporting women who feel stuck, depleted, or disconnected due to toxic relationship dynamics—whether with a parent, partner, friend, or boss. My training includes in-depth study with renowned experts like Dr. Ramani, whose work on narcissistic abuse recovery deeply informs my trauma-informed approach. I bring together personal insight, professional training, and a deep understanding of healing psychology to guide women through lasting transformation.

Before becoming a life coach, I spent over 25 years in the corporate world, leading, mentoring, and empowering others. But my passion lies in helping women rebuild after emotional harm, connect with their inner strength, and finally feel at home in themselves again.

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me walking forest trails with my dog, Bear, soaking in the healing power of nature, or spending time with my kids and close friends. I believe in the magic of small, intentional steps—and I’d be honored to walk this healing journey with you.

Your next chapter starts here.

  • A Note from Chris

    “Over the years, I’ve tried therapy to help deal with and move past extreme trauma in my life. During those sessions, I’d get all worked up; it hurt, and then I would leave more confused with the mess I just released until my next appointment. I felt lost and couldn’t get out of the continuous pain.

    I have been working with Kerry in 1:1 life coaching for over a year, and it’s changed my life. Talking with Kerry is like talking with a dear friend you’ve known your whole life. Kerry teaches me how to recognize triggers and the tools to use to work through them. The difficult traumas or situations I’ve experienced in my life are no longer controlling me; I’ve learned how to help myself before they cause me to spiral out of control. It’s not an easy journey by any means, but for the first time in my life, I am healing and freeing myself from all the toxins that have held me down for years.

    I couldn’t have imagined anything better than 1:1 coaching with Kerry until I decided to join Kerry’s winter group session; Finding Happiness after a Toxic Relationship. I didn’t know if group sessions would be for me; I’m a very private person. But after sitting in, listening to Kerry and others opening up with their thoughts and feelings about their own personal experiences, I soon realized I was never alone all this time. Though our experiences are our own, the feelings and thoughts tied to our experiences that once felt isolating actually unite us in a commonality that is deep-seated. It’s made a tremendous difference in my healing and in my life sharing in discussions with other women on a safe platform. If you’re looking to reclaim your life, if you have open emotional wounds that need healing, if you want to be rid of all the emotional toxicity that’s holding you back from living your best life, this group is for you. You will not regret it!”

  • A Note from Diana

    "Working with Kerry Life Coach in our one-on-one sessions has been nothing short of transformative, particularly in tackling the overwhelming stress and anxiety from my professional life. Before I started working with her, I felt like I was drowning in anxiety related to a toxic workplace and narcissistic bosses, and I was unable to find balance or relief.

    Through Kerry’s guidance, support, and personalized strategies, I've experienced a profound shift in how I approach challenges and manage stress. She helped me identify the root causes of my anxiety and provided practical tools to address them head-on. Whether it was through grounding techniques, boundary-setting exercises, or reframing negative thought patterns, she empowered me to take control of my mental well-being and better handle a toxic work environment.

    What sets Kerry Life Coach apart is her genuine compassion and unwavering belief in my ability to overcome obstacles. Kerry’s encouragement and accountability have been instrumental in my journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling work life. Thanks to her guidance, I've not only learned to navigate stress more effectively but also to prioritize self-care and set boundaries that honor my well-being.

    Today, I'm more resilient, focused, and confident in my ability to handle whatever challenges come my way. I'm deeply grateful for the impact Kerry Life Coach has had on my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking support in navigating the complexities of toxic relationships/situations and related anxiety."

  • A Note from Natasha

    “Words cannot begin to describe the feeling of being part of Kerry's Self-Love coaching program.

    Kerry isn't just a life coach; she's also someone you can fully trust. In the less than a year that I've been working with her, I've witnessed remarkable personal growth – more than I ever achieved in years of therapy and coaching, including my previous interactions with three other coaches and multiple therapists. Kerry stands out for her unique ability to empathize and genuinely care for her clients. She has a profound desire to see you succeed, and her sessions go beyond mere coaching. Kerry provides actionable steps and guides you toward your actual goals. This is particularly invaluable for empaths, like Kerry herself, who tend to prioritize others over themselves. This tendency can be detrimental, especially in the context of toxic relationships or a history of narcissistic abuse.

    I never thought I'd come across a coach who could help me transform my mindset, but Kerry has done just that. If you're feeling stuck in your relationships or in life in general, I wholeheartedly urge you not to hesitate. I can assure you that she is worth every moment. I'm profoundly grateful for Kerry's wisdom, her shared experiences, and her expertise. For these reasons, I wholeheartedly recommend her coaching program. I'm confident she will guide you towards the light during even the darkest times.”

  • A Note from Laura

    “Kerry is a genuine, compassionate, professional and above all, caring Life Coach. Her ability to listen and hold space for you, while feeling completely supported is such a skill. Kerry provided tools and strategies to help me through a difficult time and was available for appointments to suit our differing schedules from America to Australia. I’m so grateful for Kerry’s help, support and encouragement. If you have been thinking about reaching out to Kerry, this is your sign to do it!”

  • A Note from Denise

    “I have been working with Kerry for almost a year and she has truly changed my life. She has helped me work through past trauma and, through her amazing coaching, I have learned how to protect myself and develop healthy boundaries. She creates a positive and safe environment where I can heal and be my true self. Through her warmth and compassion, she has guided me through my doubts and fears and helped me rediscover my worth. I fully trust her knowledge and expertise in working through my difficulties.

    After our sessions, I have the confidence, resilience, and strength to face my challenges. She has taught me that true happiness comes from learning how to love yourself. I am grateful for all of Kerry's incredible guidance and support!”

  • A Note from Julie

    “Kerry is the first person I think to call when I need someone to talk to. She’s able to get me through any challenge in a real and honest way.”

  • A Note from Janet

    “Kerry’s upbeat enthusiasm and effervescent personality put me at ease immediately. She was warm, understanding and non-judgemental and her authenticity made me really trust her. Her coaching style was professional and effective and I have discovered strengths I didn’t realize I had. Her approach to goal setting helped me figure out the direction I wanted to go and her commitment to helping me achieve the goals we uncovered has been a gift. My confidence in myself has grown and it is not just something that I feel, but other people have noticed as well. Thanks, Kerry Life Coach!”

  • A Note from Mary

    “I will never forget the serendipitous moment we shared, at a time I needed your coaching! Your natural ability to come alongside a client to hear my challenges, but also challenge me to take the right step for my future was so spot-on. My conversation with my boss would not have been as productive if you had not helped me rise above my defensiveness. Thank you!”

Motivation comes from within — and I’m here to help you activate it.
