About Carol

hello, hello!

For anyone new here, I’m Carol – a Christian coach for people dealing with transition. I help clients get unstuck and move forward into their true selves.
I’ve had a passion for people my whole life. Through a career in sales, I found my passion in exploring human needs and partnering to find solutions.
I found that while everyone wants to be heard, sometimes they don’t even listen to themselves. This is an essential step in personal growth, as we move forward to self-discovery. I am now a certified life coach taking “the need to be heard” to a new professional level.
Through personal life experience, I’ve come to learn that pain of all sorts surround us and is inevitable. We all have a need to voice our pain, to be heard and to have trusted support as we navigate solutions.
I partner with my clients to redefine their vision and encourage their true self, through deep discovery of one’s life calling and fulfilling their God given purpose.
I want you to live life intentionally, with purpose and with hope. Together, we can work through the pain or transition you are experiencing, to lead to a more fulfilling life. I’m here for you – every step of the way.
– Carol

"Carol is levelheaded, objective, insightful, compassionate and caring. Whenever I meet with her she helps me work the issues and find a solution, then guides and supports me through a resolution. I highly recommend Carol as she always provides quality service as a professional coach."

"Our family was struck in a really difficult cycle of dysfunction a while back. We’d tried different ways to solve our issues that weren’t very effective, then I connected with Carol. Her gentle wisdom and the ability to ask me the hard questions, coupled with her obvious faith in God, got me through to the other side. I feel she was the turning point towards healing for me. I am grateful to have been coached by someone so professional, yet also has one of the kindest hearts imaginable."

She offers an energized and new perspective, cheering me on all the while. I highly recommend engagement with Carol to live your best life."

“I have always been skeptical of coaching, however, after having met Carol via Zoom - I can truly say I have been blessed by her probing questions, the insights she has given me and the ability to change the direction of my negative thinking into a more purpose-driven, positive attitude – to look at things from a different perspective. She has helped me identify the areas in my life that need attention, and most importantly, to be accountable to my coach. What I find most interesting is engaging with someone from a different country, with different views and a totally different perspective from mine. But, common ground has been found.”

“Carol Swift is a remarkable woman of faith. She is an amazing coach and facilitator, who has spent years helping women recover from trauma, loss, dismay and betrayal into women who are healed and even thriving. She is the epitome of “the hands and feet of Christ.”

"Carol has a gift. She is a woman of compassion, understanding and non-judgement. She helped me to release old, useless behaviors and beliefs while gently guiding me to refocus, move past the challenges, set goals and then achieve them. She empowers others through her prayers, her words and her unending generous spirit."

"Carol has a remarkable talent for listening intently and then offering a fabulously refreshing response using so few words that you might find yourself laughing through your tears.She Gets it. She can help you slice through confusion, get to the heart of the matter, tap into your strength, and move forward with confidence. Carol is deeply rooted in her faith and the wisdom she brings to any conversation is wrapped in God’s love. Because she is so firmly planted, she exudes a natural humility without even a hint of her hard-won empowerment as a woman. Above all, Carol is an encourager-cheering on those she cares about with unwavering authenticity."

"Carol is skilled at asking great focused questions that really prompted me to think how I wanted to improve. Her style is very encouraging and supportive yet challenges one’s status quo. Her vast experience engaging all kinds of people and personalities makes her very easy to talk with and work together."
