Hi, I’m Kandace.

I help women navigate conflicting emotions within themselves and their most important relationships in order to wake up feeling safe, secure, and grounded in peace.

Unearth Confusion.

Gain Clarity.

Cultivate Peace.

Moments of confusion are a natural part of life. Being unsure of what to say and what to do on a daily basis brings deeper and more agonizing conflicts within our soul.

I enjoy guiding my clients out of the confusion loop. Which simply means that you gain access to your own inner spiritual wisdom.

My clients often describe their confusion as a sense of feeling lost. With understanding and compassion, I guide my clients in ways that are relevant to their particular struggles. Which can include:

  • Constructing a conversation that leads to shared understanding and mutual respect…

  • Identifying the ways in which their past trauma manifests itself in their present relationships and learning how to address it…

  • Letting go of a relationship where hurt and harm go unaddressed…

  • Creating rhythms of healthy self-care that help regulate a frazzled nervous system…

  • Disentangling a belief system that has brought more pain and confusion than joy and purpose…

  • Understanding “Self” and how they can participate in owning their worth with gratitude and confidence…

  • Turning from a posture of self-contempt and shame to one of self-compassion and dignity…

  • Living with a secure and trusted connection with self, others, and God…

Trauma-informed Story Work coaching is for you if you are ready to gain the clarity you need in order to live the life of peace you long for!

So, what if there is more to the story than something being wrong with you? 

And what if you could start a new chapter in your life—one in which you find greater peace within yourself and in your most significant relationships?

I believe you can! Schedule your free consultation today to take your next step and to gain the clarity and peace you need.

  • “Kandace offers so much true kindness and empathy toward me in the places of pain in my story. She hears and sees me well. She has taught me how to slow down, self-soothe, get curious, and give myself compassion. I’m seeing my relationships begin to blossom, and I am loving myself more today than ever before.” — Amanda

  • "Before Kandace introduced me to Story Work, I was stuck on a roller coaster of emotion and reaction, unable to stand up for myself or say things that I wanted to say, and often left feeling disappointed in myself and dismissed by others. Kandace took me on a deep dive into my stories and helped me understand where that was coming from. Story Work helped me break my old patterns and enabled me to start setting healthy boundaries." — Abby

  • "I knew someone that had done story work with Kandace, and I had seen changes in them that I hadn’t thought were possible. It gave me the courage to reach out and see if the same was possible for me. Kandace’s gentleness and sincerity gave me what I needed to see myself clearly, and I began to have compassion even for myself. This was the surprising beginning of seeing lasting changes come about in my own life. I tell everyone what a powerful tool SW is, and I pray for others to be blessed by it as well!" — J, Missouri

  • "Working with Kandace has brought about meaningful changes in my relationships, my ability to relate to others, and my personal growth. We all have things to heal and process, trusting a storywork coach to guide you and hold space for your grief supports progress.. I have found having space to share, and listening to Kandace’s response has caused me to learn. Months into this journey, I have an expanded vocabulary to express and better understand myself and others. It has been absolutely helpful. A worthy investment in me." — Lori

  • "Kandace helped me understand my attachment wounds from early childhood trauma. I started to see how my closest relationships were impacted by having an avoidant attachment style. In the past I felt there was something so wrong with me, but now I feel compassion for myself for the first time ever. This changed everything for me! Today, I feel more secure in my closest relationships, which makes me truly happy!" - K, Missouri

Frequently Asked Questions

  • There are licensed counselors who use story work in their sessions with clients, but Story Work is simply a healing modality used by trained therapists and coaches who are trauma-informed. The origin of Story Work comes from the work of Dan Allender and his colleagues.

  • This is actually not that uncommon and we will go over this in your initial consultation.

  • Unresolved wounds aren’t hidden in the past. They are hidden in your body and oftentimes show up in ways that are unconscious to you because it’s been your normal. This is why we need someone to help us see. But not someone who sees with accusing or judging eyes. To heal, we must be seen with deeply loving and compassionate eyes. And a voice that feels safe to you.

  • It’s different for everyone, but you get to decide. Ideally, you will get a good knowing after 12 weeks if you want to proceed. You always have the choice to keep going or discontinue. Or ask for a referral if you want to work with someone else. There will never be a demand or expectation placed on you to stay in a coaching relationship with me.

  • Always and forever. (Unless in my judgment you are a danger to yourself or someone else).
