I've been a coach for Your Infinite Life for over 15 years, and love working with parents, families, couples, and individuals to create more happy, healthy, and harmonious relationships. I am an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse for over 35 years, initially specializing in emergency and trauma nursing, though I have spent the past two decades assisting people with managing their pain physically, mentally, and emotionally. I became certified as a Parent-Family Coach through the Academy for Coaching Parents International in 2009, and completed the Integrative Health Coaching program at Duke Integrative Medicine in 2013. I am endlessly fascinated with how our bodies, our beliefs, our thoughts, and our feelings all impact each other, and value the coaching process as a forward-looking, supportive structure for bringing those more fully into alignment for individuals, families, and teams.

Monica Haas

She/Her/Hers

I am a life and business coach with over 25 years of corporate experience. As a coach, I draw upon past work experience and the skills that I learned at Your Infinite Life to assist others with achieving their goals – whether it’s gaining more self-awareness, discovering greater purpose, or overcoming professional or personal challenges.

Throughout my corporate career, I became an expert at professional growth. I learned which positions to move into and when. I sought out the best mentors, navigated the complex corporate culture, led teams, business transformations, and large organizations. During this time, I experienced professional highs and lows, successes, and failures. The only constant was that life was fast-paced and demanding. My roles as leader, employee, colleague, wife, mother, and friend felt like plates spinning on sticks. I would run from one to the other, constantly trying to keep them all up on the air. I was successful, and I was stressed.

It wasn’t until I took my first Your Infinite Life course that I discovered that I didn’t have to feel this way. Through confidence coaching and coursework, I learned to shift my focus from the outside in (how the plates made me feel) to the inside out (how I chose to feel about the plates). It was a transformative shift. In 2017, I left my corporate position to start my own business, Gracelight Consulting. Conscious leadership is my area of expertise. My coaching methods are built upon the foundation of increased self-awareness, self-love, and harmony between heart and mind.

Inge Michielsen-Hondmann

She/Her/Hers

Born and raised in the Netherlands, I have lived and worked all over the world for the past 27 years, living in 3 continents and four USA states.

I have a B.S.C. and R.D. degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and a marketing degree. After college, I worked for Numico in the Netherlands and in South Africa for Unilever, both in international food marketing. After moving to Florida, and by then a mother of 3, I realized that is was time for a change in me, and an upgrade of my parenting skills. Via my neighbor and dear friend I rolled into the, for me unknown, world of personal development, and I never left.

During my first course, a new realm of possibilities and a new way of looking at me, my married life, and parenthood opened up for me. After being a student and assistant in all the courses, I wanted to learn all there was to learn and decided to go back to school and became a certified instructor for the Remembrance Course in 2004. Your Infinite Life Training & Coaching Company is really the School of Life, as it helps people to enjoy and face life in all its glory. I love teaching because it gives me the humbling responsibility to guide students to further discover their self in all its glory. In 2006, I also certified as instructor for the Instructor Training. Ever since, I have assisted in developing the instructor training program and the business programs.

I have always been passionately active in each school our children attended, most recently as board member and PA president at North Shore Country Day School, in Winnetka, Illinois. I am happily married to Dirk and together we just started our journey of empty nesting. Our awesome, multicultural, bilingual, dual nationality children, Floris, Sara and Maurits attend college at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in The Netherlands.

Looking back at our wonderful life so far, I am in such gratitude for the places we have lived, the people that crossed our path, and the life lessons learned. I am thankful for the global perspective and the true notion of oneness it gave me.

She/Her, They/Them

Born and raised in the Pacific NW, I love it here! Before becoming a Coach, I worked in retail management, real estate administration, and office management. While I enjoyed getting to coach as part of my role as a leader, I discovered what I really wanted was to coach in a deeper and more holistic way than always made sense in the workplace. Transitioning away from real estate and office life and into coaching full-time has been an excellent change for me and I’ve never looked back!

I’m committed to creating equitable spaces that are welcoming and inclusive for all people. I believe everyone deserves to experience love, safety, value, and belonging. One reason I am passionate about coaching is that I believe as we learn to be with and know ourselves more deeply, we develop the ability to connect and hold space for each other in an authentic and transformative way.

I believe that this ‘micro’ work serves the ‘macro’ work of collective liberation- where people of all races, ethnicities, physical abilities, socio-economic statuses, body shapes and sizes, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations, and gender identities will be seen, heard, included, honored, and elevated systematically. Because there is so much more to do to this end, I am in support of activism and justice for all marginalized communities in the many ways that can look.

I believe we are all innately capable of navigating life’s challenges. I also know that life can be really messy and hard at times. Coaching is one way to create a support system for yourself while you dive deeper into who you are and experience being present with yourself in new ways. I promise to help you tap into your own depth of feeling, thinking, and wisdom to allow your authentic self to emerge so you can love more deeply, be more purposeful in your life, and experience just how amazing you are.

Stefani Wessel

(She/Her/Hers)

Wake up, care for the kids and dog, kiss the husband and go to work . REPEAT. That is what I had become in my own life, the real life version of Groundhog Day. I was itchy, and unsatisfied and angry ALL THE TIME. I was reluctant to take the coursework at Your Infinite Life, as I have very close “family/friends” who had been talking about it for over 5 years before I even could look in that direction. I walked into the Freedom to Be Course room expecting 10-12 participants and was greeted by over 60 people between participants and coaches. ALL of the lights got turned on inside me, and there was no turning back from that moment on.

HI FRIENDS! I’m Stefani Wessel and I am a Certified Coach at Your Infinite Life Training & Coaching Company. As a former Division 1 Collegiate athlete, I had become so accustomed to pushing through my own pain, thoughts and needs to be a good teammate, player and student, that I had no idea what it is that I actually wanted or who I even was on my own two feet. I had become a mirror to my environment and took on everyone else’s feelings to NOT feel my own.

Through the work and learning of Your Infinite Life I have found a quiet place that belongs only to me. Fostering the relationship with myself, gave me a new passion for this life that I didn’t have to just live, but to THRIVE.

I have 3 beautiful, spirited children (Skyler, Jenner & Scarlett), a goofy sock-stealing dog (Sally) and a Husband (Justin) that still makes me say “DAMN!” We live in Cardiff, California and when not running from ball fields, pool decks and gyms, we can be found at the Ocean.

The work that I do and will continue to do for Your Infinite Life, is a love letter to myself and the world. I was born to authentically connect with the world around me. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I am a firm believer that knowledge is power, and that when you know better you can do better.

My passion is to help navigate through the MESS that is life. Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Self-reliance or MESS is at the foundation of my teaching. When we are out of line with one of those basic needs, life feels very messY. ( the ‘Y’ is for YOU). I cannot wait to connect with you as we share our stories and realize that life both clear and messy is beautiful when shared authentically, LET’S GO!

Suzanna Bratzler

She/Her/Hers

My mission is to create a more kind, compassionate, and unified world. I am passionate about creating spaces where everyone feels loved, accepted, and inspired. That’s why I joined Your Infinite Life, first as a participant who desired the tools to change my own life, and then as a leader to support others through their individual journeys.

As a participant in Freedom to Be, I learned to stop judging myself and others so harshly. As a participant in Remembrance, I discovered my personal power and passion. My journey with Your Infinite Life has enhanced my relationships in every area of life, including my husband of over 25 years, 2 adult “children”, friends, and co-workers.

I am a public school teacher with a degree in Biology, a minor in Mathematical Sciences, and a Master of Education with an emphasis in Educational Technology. I couldn’t imagine leading a room full of 36 pre-teens without the tools I’ve learned throughout my personal development journey!

My training through Your Infinite Life has included around 1000 hours of intensive personal growth work and coaching. I am an ally, advocate, and accomplice with underserved, under-represented, and marginalized communities. I live in Southern California, and enjoy leading courses in person as well as online!

Jill Hennessey

She/Her/Hers

I am a Pediatric Physical Therapist and have loved my job for over 33 years. I previously worked at a Children’s hospital in St. Louis, MO for 27 years where I was a team leader in the NICU and a primary PT on the Nursery Follow Up team. I provide physical therapy for children of all ages with a variety of diagnosis after they have experienced trauma, illness or injury. I value each child that I connect with, and each family member and caregiver that are a part of that child’s team. We are all influential in making a difference in the life of that child. What I discovered is that through my interactions with children and families, I was not just teaching exercises, I was providing guidance and support, teaching from my heart to inspire parents to see the best in themselves and their children. I realized that encouraging with loving, firm kindness each child will strive to reach all they are capable of.

I began my journey with Your Infinite Life Training and Coaching Company in January, 2014. My life was transformed as I experienced the death of my parents, a divorce after 25 years of marriage and a life altering diagnosis for 2 of my children. Through the hurt, pain, sadness, trauma, chaos and uncertainty, I found the support, guidance and learning I was searching so desperately for. I have been immensely grateful for all the ways that I have grown and learned to look inside for the answers to my questions about who I am and how I want to show up in the world. I have discovered that it is ok to have feelings, to feel them and to let go of what is not serving me. I have found the peace, strength, forgiveness, empathy, compassion and resiliency inside of myself and know that I can choose to remain strong in who I am no matter what is going on around me. I am positive that my four children are grateful for the infinite ways or life, our love and our relationships have evolved and become even more connected, loving and open.

I completed my coach certification in 2016 and I love being a part of Your Infinite Life. I believe in the vision and mission of this company and I am proudly committed to sharing what I have learned to help others live in alignment with their purpose and value. My hope is that the tools and concepts I have learned through Your Infinite Life will enhance and bring greater peace, confidence and understanding to my own family and those I serve through coaching as well as with the children and families that I see daily in my work.

Soraya Papayoute

(She/Her/Hers)

I am the Founder/CEO of Healing Wounds Coaching & Consulting, and I haven’t always been a successful coach and consultant. My journey started as a young Haitian American girl living in Broward County Florida.

My parents were migrating immigrants and a part of the working class and rarely had the opportunity to spend quality family time with me. A lack of consistent attention, affection and support took a toll on my mental health and caused me to have a chaotic 20 years. Surviving cancer, battling anxiety/ depression, recovering from multiple suicide attempts and a domestic violence relationship was only part of my story and the testimony I needed to help others.

Here’s what I have to say: “I know God has a purpose for me and I absolutely believe I have overcome all of my trials and tribulations to help the next person do the same. You see, nothing is wasted in this life, and anything can be turned around for good. I have used the worst times in my life to fuel me to become a speaker, mental health therapist and a coach. Mind-set shift, confidence in your identity and purpose is key. I am awarrior, and my purpose is to help others see it within themselves as well."

Healing Wounds Coaching and Consulting was born from the mission to provide a safe place for individuals to heal from their past traumas and create hope for the future through education and support. HWCC’s vision is to introduce a holistic approach to coaching that exposes the root of pain caused by traumatic experiences in our life, embrace healing, and commit to creating a balanced future.

Sparkle Simmons

She/Her/Hers

I am a Certified Coach and Course Leader with Your Infinite Life Training and Coaching Company (YIL). I took my first course in 1999. I love how the courses and coaching programs empower me to re-examine my life and make new choices. I am the mother of two adult children who were steeped in the core values of YIL since they were toddlers (so you know they’re awesome human beings). Being a mother is one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of my life. I’ve gained great wisdom and knowledge from moving through all of the stages of adolescence with my kiddos.

My life has been full of adversities including poverty, single motherhood, career changes, physical health, emotional health, and overcoming negative thinking to name a few. I am an expert at making lemonade out of lemons and cheering the loudest for my friends (which happens to be everyone) I am a fierce friend.

I’ve been able to achieve some of my wildest dreams including writing my first children’s book “I am Sparkle the Light”. My superpowers are enthusiasm, compassion, and my smile. Oh yeah, my hugs are also pretty good (like being with grandma and a warm blanket all in one). In my spare time you can find me actively practicing self-care, cooking for my family, watching Mad Men (again), and writing my next book.

My life’s purpose is to shine my light brightly and remind people that they are the light too! As a coaching client you can expect to feel heard, be encouraged, be held accountable, gain clarity, and discover your magnificence.

I’ve resided in Fort Myers, Florida for the past 15 years. However, I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri (my first love). I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Marketing in 2015. I worked for the Florida Department of Children and Families for 4 ½ years investigating abuse, neglect, and abandonment of children.

He/Him/His

Learning, implementing, practicing and loving the concepts and tools from Your Infinite Life Training and Coaching Company on my journey to discover and express my own magnificence was a path that found me at the right time in my life. Sharing this mission with others is a beautiful gift that I am lucky to have received. I am a Certified Coach and Course Leader Candidate.

While each of the courses have brought me a new level of love in my life, the Remembrance Course really spoke to me. The time we share with each other in the course room is sacred, and I love working with people to unlock their memories and remove the things that are getting in the way of expressing their own magnificence.

In my professional life, I am a solutions architect designing complex solutions for Telecommunication companies across the globe, and coaching organizations to streamline their business processes for optimal results.

In the course room, in business, and in my personal life, I have always believed that the search for the root of every situation helps us to discover both what can be improved and that which is already excellent. Discovering this truth has been one of the most fulfilling things in my life, and I am forever thankful for it.

Angela Ivy

She/Her/Hers

I build infrastructure of the heart and mind. As a certified coach with a full-time day job, a community organizer, activist, mom, and aspiring strongman competitor. I know the pressure of juggling self-care, family responsibilities, job deadlines, and growing resilient community. In my coaching work, I provide the tools, strategy, and support for you to create spaciousness and integrate meaningful change in your life. I believe that relationships are at the heart of everything we do and experience, beginning with your relationship with yourself because it is the longest and most intimate relationship of your life. Together we uncover the stories, beliefs, and conditioning that get in the way of you having, doing, or being who you are.

Coaching changed my life and in 2012, became a platform for me to serve others. A life-long learner that never went to university, I am passionate about the human experience, how we build and sustain connection, and the meaning we make of life. I am fascinated by the psychology of belief, how trauma manifests through our bodies and brains, and the neurobiological effect on behavior and relationships. As an avid reader, I actively engage with the latest research from these fields to expand my knowledge and apply it through my work. This, along with psycho-spiritual practices and alternative healing modalities, led me to discover and enthusiastically support entheogenic therapy as a tool to promote our health, wellness, and evolution. Integration of my own therapeutic experiences highlighted for me the value of having invested in building mental and emotional infrastructure.

In addition to all that, I am an INSP, empath, and Reiki level II. My life number is 6, I am a Libra with Scorpio rising, and I love working with people who are ready to create greater connection in relationships, integrate their breakthroughs, and gain the confidence to take on the next part of your journey.
