I’m Barenda Brown, also known as Coach B, Founder of GDMJ LifeStyle & Growth Coaching. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Human Services with a concentration in Life Coaching. I’m also a Certified SYMBIS Facilitator. I work with adults and couples seeking support with communication, relationship challenges, personal growth, confidence, life transitions, and financial wellness. My approach is warm, practical, culturally respectful, and judgment-free. I understand that relationships, family responsibilities, personal expectations, and financial pressures can affect how we navigate everyday life. Our first conversation focuses on understanding your current challenges, identifying what you would like to change, and exploring whether coaching is the right fit. Together, we establish realistic goals and practical strategies you can begin applying in your daily life. My goal is to help you feel heard, gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and intention.
