Shelby Bowen
Are you a woman interested in 1:1 life coaching with me? Book a consultation to see if I am the right fit for you. Through my personalized coaching, I’ll walk alongside you on the journey of healing from spiritual abuse and reconnecting with God again. This journey is special to me because it is one I have walked through myself.
I have seen God move in the lives of countless women who stepped into the program filled with hopelessness and shame. Those women all finished coaching with peace, excitement for the future, and a renewed sense of self and connection to God.
Right now I am only accepting women clients.
This discovery call will determine if I am the right fit for your healing journey
We can discuss 1:1 coaching or my 8-week coaching program called 'Spirit, Soul & Body Healing' which identifies core wounds and lays out a personalized plan to walk through church hurt, deconstruction, spiritual abuse, or spiritual manipulation
Healing from trauma (either Big-T Trauma or little T-Trauma which we can determine in the consultation) will propel you forward into a life of freedom and peace
I also help women who are stuck in their personal and professional goals step into their calling and purpose in life.
Didi Matthews
My name is Diana Marcela, known to all as Didi. I am a wife, mom of four young adults, a new "Glamma" and fur mom of two. God has gifted me with a talent to express His heart through writing blogs & creating content.
I am a lover of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, conversations with the Holy Spirit and people, AND all things green. I was ordained as a pastor at my former ministry, and while I know the calling of God is irrefutable, I think of myself as a friend to most people and a teacher of my experiences; good and bad. As a Christian Life Coach, I channel my passion to help individuals discover their authentic selves through a blend of scripture and self-awareness.
My journey has been marked by resilience, having overcome battles with breast cancer and spiritual abuse, and a suicide attempt. These experiences have fueled my commitment to empower others on their own path to healing and self-discovery. I find fulfillment in guiding others through life's challenges, and I hope to offer you hope through my words and actions.
“One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and that will be someone’s survival guide.” This quote by Brene Brown is my creed.
Joanne Gonzalez
Throughout my life, I have overcome two challenges: childhood abandonment and post-cult exit trauma. When I was 4, my dad abandoned me, separating me from our family then later, I unknowingly joined a high-control religion that isolated me from society for three years. Both of these experiences were deeply traumatic.
Leaving the cult was chaotic, to say the least. I fell into a deep depression and was unable to function for a year. Then, I met Shelby, a Christian life coach helping women recover from spiritual abuse. During our 8-week 1:1 coaching, we delved into the roots of my pain, even touching on my childhood. It was when I learned the practical ways to help rewire our brains and teach them to handle joy again. As a young Christian, I always believed God expects us to push ourselves out of our pain to show we have faith, but I now know that this isn't healthy, biblical, or even honoring to Him.
Now, I have become a Christian life coach myself, helping those who have dealt with the same struggles. If you’re suffering from an old childhood wound or a post-cult exit trauma, know that there is a way to experience a relationship with God free from the burdens of your past. I received equipping to navigate my “life after” —and so can you!

FAQs
Is life coaching right for me?
As a life coach, my goal is to help those who are intentional about overcoming core wounds to live successful personal and professional lives. If you want to walk in confidence and build healthy relationships with self, money, friends, and romantic partners this is definitely for you!
Why is this important?
We all go through hard and challenging moments in life. It is key to recognize the core wounds holding us back from strong emotional and cognitive transformation.
Is this like therapy?
Life coaching is not a replacement for medical help. I collaborate alongside you to help you overcome obstacles, with clarity, and direction. If you are suicidal I encourage you to reach out to a licensed therapist. Please contact me below and I can refer you.
What does a session look like?
In our sessions, we will take a step back and examine what roadblocks are currently in your life. It’s like having an accountability partner who helps you determine what steps you need to implement to see momentum in your personal and professional life.
