I work hard and care deeply. But no matter my efforts, it seems my children still struggle sometimes and I wonder what I’ve worked so hard for. It’s a common problem.
Then they turn 18 and you find out it’s not like everyone said it would be - empty nesting while watching your kids create their own beautiful lives. In fact, it’s surprisingly different!
Do you find yourself worrying about your adult children almost more than when they were young? Do they still add stress to your life even when they aren’t living under your roof? (or maybe they still are!)
Parenting teens and adult children is not for the faint of heart and requires a different skill set. A unique set - curated just for you and your wonderfully unique family. This is where I come in!
Luckily, I am just as passionate about seeking solutions as I am about loving kids and parenting. My technical background in Computer Science and Math has gifted me problem-solving, critical thinking and the ability to break down complex issues into manageable steps. These skills are incredibly valuable when addressing the challenges parents face, especially when guiding your adult children through life’s ups and downs.
But it’s not just about logic and numbers. I am also a people person.
I love people. I see others as my big, extended family. Even as a little girl, I knew I wanted to grow up to work with people. As a parent of five, I’ve experienced firsthand the emotional intricacies of parenting. Balancing empathy with structure, I teach you how to communicate effectively (even when they don’t listen), set healthy boundaries (which is actually modeling emotional maturity), help them solve their problems, and support your children through their individual journeys with grace.
You are the best one for the job, and I will help you get your joy and mojo back. I’m a dedicated life coach that specializes in supporting parents of adult children and am an expert at providing practical solutions with a compassionate touch.
Let me help YOU help THEM.

I brought up something I was slightly embarrassed about—like being critical of someone I love. We spent time delving into this. I got calm, balanced and able to see the big picture. This gave me insight, tools and knowledge that I am a good, intelligent, sensitive, and loving woman - who loves deeply and can be sad over what I have lost

I can love and I can grieve, and I am a good woman.
As the mom and dad we say Thank You for a great semester.
He got a B and because of you he lived through it 🥴
He doesn’t even feel the need to forgive himself - one giant step forward!!
Marcie Bayles is on my top list of teachers/coaches. She is fun. She is creative, focused, beautiful, intelligent and knows how to deal with my complex passionate nature. She draws out my strength, love and intelligence from deep inside of me to help me to live a happier life every day, here and now.
Her work is NOT to tell me what to do.

She draws out my strength, love and intelligence from deep inside of me to help me to live a happier life every day, here and now.
Her work is NOT to tell me what to do. She asks creative questions about what I tell her and gets me to answer using my own thoughts and feelings.
I am more in touch with my Love of Life, myself, my husband, and our relationship.
With over 26 years of experience in the fields of math, computer science and human development, I have developed a unique approach to Life Coaching that combines evidence-based tools with a client-centered practicum. I hold a degree in Computer Science and Math Education and I am a certified Life Coach.
I grew up in Texas where love of bluebonnets and strangers becoming best friends run deep. I studied Computer Science and Math Education. I have a logical mind, a love of problem-solving and a big heart. I’ve done mission work with refugees, taught high school and raised five kids who are mostly adults now. In addition to coaching, my husband and I run a business together.
I also love serving in my community. I’ve spent decades championing women’s and children’s programs as well as serving in the public schools. I strive to be a loving and engaged mom who lifts her children with excitement and vitality but has some sanity left to keep my own identity and talents strong. I want my kids to appreciate my efforts but also have their own independence.
In my struggle to balance life and parenting I found Life Coaching and it flipped my life around in the best way possible. I was tired of slogging through theories in books and generic information on the internet. I was tired of trying everyone else’s parenting advice just to watch it fizzle. I was ready to build my own successful and actionable steps I could put into practice. I hired a life coach and saw immediate results.
Now I coach other parents who struggle like I did. We recalibrate, refocus, and adjust without compromising our own needs or our love for our children.
I can’t get enough professional development in Coaching and love teaching other parents the best of the best. It saves them my pain and I get to celebrate their successes.
Let me celebrate yours.
I’ve got your back.
I believe that every person has the potential to improve their life today. My approach is centered on helping my clients identify their values, how to impact their adult children and creating actionable steps towards those. I am committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to work towards their desired goals. I have offered workshops and group classes in the past but am currently specializing in one-on-one coaching. Contact me today to schedule a free session!
