Lucy Wellmaker has a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She is a graduate of the Institute of Life Coach Training and a member of the International Coaching Federation. Lucy not only has a passion for working with people who want to improve their lives, she has the skills and the expertise to help them do it.

Her interest in helping others began with an interest in her own personal growth. Since her high school days Lucy has consistently attended retreats, workshops and seminars to better understand herself and others. She has had the opportunity to be instructed by some great leaders including Cheryl Richardson, Dr. Wayne Dyer and even Oprah on her “Live Your Best Life” Tour.

She remembers vividly driving down the road one day, by herself, and yelling out, “I love my life!” The thought that immediately followed was, “And, I created it to be this way.” That was a pivotal moment in her life. Although she had said those words many times before, something clicked that day that helped her understand the responsibility she had with the way her life was – the good days and the bad. Soon after, she had the desire to help others improve their situations and create the life they love.

Lucy has a strong faith and when she refers to what she “creates” in her life, it is always with the understanding that she is “co-creating”.  To illustrate this point, she reflects on a story of a man who let his yard go. The shrubs were overgrown, the grass was knee high and weeds were everywhere. One day the man decided to take action and clean his yard up. After working hard all day he sat down to rest. About that time a neighbor walked by and said to the man, “With the help of God, look at what you were able to do!” The man replied, “You must have seen my yard when God had it all by Himself.”

Taking action is key and Lucy doesn’t ask her clients to do anything she isn’t willing to do herself. This keeps her on her toes and forces her to be at her best for herself and her clients. “My clients are usually one step ahead or one step behind me,” she says. “I end up teaching what I need to learn, giving and receiving in the same moment. It’s an amazing experience to connect with people on a deep level and I’m always honored to be a part of their journey.”

“Lucy acts a gentle, compassionate listener, mentor, coach, counselor and cheerleader all in one. I know I can depend on her for constructive ideas and exercises to encourage my growth, honest and thoughtful feedback, and a truly caring approach to making my life (and experience of it) the best it can be.”
