A Little About My Journey

Learn about my approach to growth, purpose, & faith.

Vicki Eaton, LCSW, MRE

As a Life Coach and spiritual teacher/facilitator, I would love to help you become more free to turn your life into an adventure.

What I do consists of three components: (1) I offer you a wide variety of practical tools and strategies so you can become your own counselor or life coach; (2) I help you find and develop the "Wise, Strong, Compassionate Part" of yourself to care for the "Parts" of yourself who feel anxious, sad, stressed, insecure, angry, or shamed; and (3) I can help you connect with a source of love and light, known as God or Spirit.
After all these years I still love what I do! I am particularly passionate about helping people become freer to live their life according to how they were designed by God, and to be able to carry out their purpose and mission on earth.

Personal
I am married, have two adult children, a son-in-law, and two grandkids. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a director of a Preschool/Day Care Center, a piano teacher, and a full-time, stay-at-home Mom. Some things I love to do are hiking in nature, singing and playing the piano, gardening, and I get particularly charged up about learning new things.
