Transformational Coach

Maurice’s journey to becoming a transformational coach is deeply rooted in his own struggles with addiction, mental health, and hopelessness. At his lowest point, he faced thoughts of suicide and battled addiction in silence, often appearing successful to the outside world while feeling lost and broken inside. It was in this moment of darkness that Maurice realized he needed help and made the decision to seek the support he so desperately needed.

This pivotal shift in his life ignited a passion to help others who are facing similar battles. Maurice became an addiction counselor and obtained multiple coaching certifications. With a heart for those who feel stuck, burned out, or broken, Maurice’s mission is to guide individuals toward healing, hope, and a life of purpose.
