Hi Folks. Yes, Crescent is my given name. My hippie parents named me after my birthplace, New Orleans - “The Crescent City”. I thought maybe it was a good name for a filmmaker (which I am) but it’s actually an even better name for a life and career coach. I became a coach because my intuition told me to. I wanted to change careers, get into something where I felt more fulfilled, where I could actually make an impact. After 20 years in the film/video world, I started a certified training, “Coaching for Transformation” with Leadership that Works. I recently earned the next level of accreditation - Associate Certified Coach (ACC) from the International Coaching Federation. I am also a graduate of Level 1 in Internal Family Systems. As a coach, I bring my personal experience in addiction recovery, LGBTQ community, and as a professional in business to the work I do with my clients. I’ve also been trained in energy medicine and meditation. I integrate my personal experience with IFS, energy medicine and more traditional coaching approaches to help my clients access their magic.
