BitterSweet Coaching is a self-empowerment system for individuals who need help achieving their life goals including teens and chronic illness warriors.

​

Offering a helping hand and an empathetic ear!

​

Words are powerful. One of the first things we can do for ourselves is acknowledge our own strength. Instead of thinking of ourselves as sufferers choose a word that denotes power. Chronic illness warriors may not always feel valiant but we do not have to claim suffering as our being. Our goal is to realign our thinking to support a purposeful life.
