► ABOUT
3 SPRINGS COACHING
I combine my nearly two decades of experience in health care as a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, with my years of experience as a board-certified coach to bring a unique perspective to the concept of wellness.
Through my previous experience as a corporate executive in the banking industry, I also understand that wellness is not limited to the person. I know first-hand the importance of good leadership, and the impact that can have on company wellness.
Also, as someone who has made a midlife career change, I lend a unique insight into that process. I understand the stress and often paralyzing anxiety that can sometimes accompany a life or career transition.
Eva helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life
Without her coaching, I don’t think I’d be where I am today.

Philosophy
Change can be hard. Even when we know it’s necessary. The inability to move forward can often feel foreign and intimidating. Especially when you are strong, independent, and solution focused. When you know you’re capable and used to having all the answers, the uncertainty about how to move forward can leave you feeling like you’re treading water. I’m here to throw you a line so you can stop and take a breath.
Through a thoughtful and creative process designed to evoke awareness and self-discovery, I will partner with you to help facilitate authentic and lasting transformation. I believe you are the expert in your own life and work. You have the resources and capability to thrive. I will support you in reaching your maximum personal and professional potential.
Having the courage to examine what’s holding you back – owning who you are and what you want – doesn’t make you vulnerable. It makes you authentic. And authenticity is the cornerstone of my work.
Our team is finally becoming more cohesive and productive thanks to Eva’s work with us.
