Susan
Founder, Parent Coach, Life Coach, Art Coach

Hello, my name is Susan, and I founded Open Arms Child and Family Services in 2012. My personal journey through the foster care system left me feeling voiceless as I moved from home to home, grappling with the challenges of abandonment and hopelessness. During a student leadership retreat, I was asked to reflect on my life’s purpose, and I wrote, “to give hope to the hopeless.” While this is a profound and ambitious goal, it has guided my path ever since. I entered this field because I have a genuine and authentic listening heart and a deep desire to help others become exactly who they were meant to be… I believe that with the right support, everyone has the opportunity to heal, grow, and rediscover hope within themselves.

Joe
Financial Coach

My name is Joe, and like many, I struggled with significant debt for years, often feeling as though I would never overcome it. However, with the support of family and friends, and a strong commitment to change, I transformed the way I managed my finances. Between 2015 and 2019, I participated in coaching sessions that enabled me to eliminate $20,000 in debt. In 2019, I earned my Financial Coach Master Training certification. I am now dedicated to helping others take control of their finances and improve their lives. Together, we can work towards achieving your financial goals!

Brenda
Life Insurance Agent

My name is Brenda, I am an independent agent. My passion is helping clients “prosper safely” . I help them identify common financial pitfalls, and educate them on how to protect finances from risk. I am financially conservative by nature with my resources and so that led me into discovering several strategies where I can experience great growth without losing sleep over what the market will do next. I don’t like the stress of it or the fear of the loss that comes with it.
