Life Coaching with Khalisha Starr
Meet Khalisha
A Board Certified Pastoral Counselor and Master Christian Life Coach specializing in Health and Wellness Consultation
I’m excited to humbly serve God's children that he brings to this ministry. I live to glorify God. Health and Wellness is my passion because I struggled with stress related overeating, inactivity and life changing health problems for a long period of my life and was able to overcome, heal and prevail.
​
I am a retired Air Force officer with a background in board certified addictions counseling, mental health care, financial management and compliance accountancy. I'm an active church attendee, volunteer, and adult Bible study teacher.
​
I wish to lovingly come alongside my clients to provide resources that offer hope and dignity through a wellness approach that glorifies God. I believe that Biblical scripture can help guide us to discover life’s purpose, and I will invite the Holy Spirit to lead each of our coaching sessions. I am certified through the American Association of Christian Counselors, to provide Christian Life Coaching, facilitation of pre-marital/relationship assessments, and Pastoral Counseling support for crisis management/crisis referral.
​
As an ally I recognize that clients are naturally resourceful, creative, and whole; life coaching addresses the client’s whole life; and the agenda for change comes from the client. I'll introduce clients to health and wellness intakes and readiness to change assessments. I will listen actively in sessions; and ask questions to evoke discovery. I will challenge insights, facts, and information to help co-create a plan of action.

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. - 1 Corinthians 10:13
I just wanna take time out to thank you for all you've done for our family this year. I am so grateful that I met you and got a chance to get to know you and I hope next year will bring us closer together with you and with God, and with our daughter's spiritual growth. I truly appreciate your friendship.

"This course was very needed in my life. The information in the coaching videos was very good. The books were also very good and practical. My favorite was "Lose Weight God's Way" because it allowed me to focus on one thing for a while without feeling rushed. Personal conversations with Khalisha were honest and straight to the point. I like that about her. She also provided practical ways to keep God centered first without judgement for my behaviors. This program was a blessing. Thank you and God bless!"
