Right now, most life coach certifications are missing the one thing that actually makes you a great coach:

Experience. 

You can’t:

• Guide someone through transformation
• Hold emotional depth
• Create real results

…if you’ve never done it yourself.

And you definitely can’t master coaching without actually coaching.

What They Are Saying...

“I have done both 1:1 coaching with Selena, and I'm currently in Fēmina Extraordinaire. I just felt like I needed to work with Selena. It was a feeling that didn't make any logical sense. And, it was the best thing I could have possibly done for myself. A resonant feeling is not always a logical feeling. I had so much doubt that I would fail myself again, that it might not work out, and I'd feel like a failure. But, I had a deep resonance. In my life I want to keep doing what I know I need to do in order to believe in myself. And if that means hiring a coach for the third time, then it means hiring a coach for the third time. Working with Selena was THE BEST experience. Things don't always look logical, but as we start to lean into this talk about living a self-lead life, it's truly based on resonance. If anyone is feeling the pull, I really encourage you to listen and see what that pull is all about."

“Selena genuinely embodies what she coaches and she attracts remarkable women who support one another. She exudes warmth, wisdom, and a deep passion for guiding people to recognize and express their unique talents.

A friend once called me a seeker, and I have spent many years looking for ways to go beyond living an average life. Through exploring different philosophies and working with numerous counselors and coaches, I made difficult decisions to pursue a life that felt right for me; yet, something was still missing. Eventually, I made another bold move by returning home to Virginia after more than three decades away, which gave me fresh insight into what I wanted from life.

Participating in Selena’s Fēmina Extraordinaire program and the Medicine Woman mastermind provided the missing link to achieving it. It may sound cliché, but the transformation that has happened in less than a year of working with her is difficult to put into words. I feel settled, at peace, and comfortable in my wholeness in a way I have never felt before. I stand more firmly in my wisdom and knowledge of my unique gifts.  As a further endorsement of her as a coach, I have enrolled in the 2026 program so I can continue this incredible ride toward the life I know I was meant to live. I couldn’t have made a better investment in myself."

“In January of 2025 Selena offered 3 free calls for a new group, Fēmina Extraordinaire. After participating in those 3 calls, I knew this was where I needed to be. You see, at that point I was trying to recover from all the losses and heartache that took place in 2024. I knew I had to do whatever it took to become part of Fēmina Extraordinaire and It was one of the greatest things I have ever done for myself!  When I started, mentally I was at a level 4 after the second month I was at a level 9! I had found my tribe! A group of strong-minded women who understood what I had been through and were there to lift me up. Thank you.

Every month I grow and learn even more about the woman that I am becoming. It is such a cliché, but Fēmina Extraordinaire and Selena saved my life. I will never be able to repay this group of ladies who have surrounded me with their love and kindness. Forever grateful.”

“In my 6 months coaching with Selena I- started my very first business that has already hosted a dozen clients, shifted out a long standing victim belief and into a Victor knowing, consented again & again to be acknowledged for my wins flexing my new muscle called “receiving”, gained a new sisterhood of gorgeous souls, have been held literally & metaphorically, feel my feet on the ground similar to an innocent time before all the social conditioning, have stretched, relaxed, cried, laughed & would totally do it ALL over again! My life is a beautiful leap forward due to Selena’s care, skill & heart. Forever grateful.”

“Joining Selena’s Mastermind class has been an absolute game-changer for me! The combination of group coaching sessions and personalized one-on-one guidance has truly empowered me to transform my ideas into positive and constructive actions. Selena’s expertise and encouragement have been invaluable in helping me navigate challenges and unlock my full potential. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to turn their aspirations into reality. Thank you, Selena, for your incredible support and mentorship!”

“As a coaching client, I have experienced exponential personal and professional growth.  I have learned how to identify what I want to create in my life and with confident decision-making skills, take action (sometimes massive action!) to get the results I want.  When life throws curve balls, I am better equipped to adapt and trust that things are not happening TO me, but FOR me.  I have learned how to identify time leaks, stressors, and when I am indulging in negative thought patterns.  Coaching has given me the confidence to connect with my inner teacher and trust that I have all the answers I need to continue to step into the best version of myself.

Being a part of The Women's Mastermind comes down to three words for me:  support, accountability, and motivation.  This group cheers for, cries with, and challenges each other to embrace our unique facets no matter what season of life we are experiencing.  It's so wonderful to realize, "I am not alone".  We  need each other and I am a better person for having been a part of this exclusive group.”

“Working with Selena has been a compass for my desire to improve my current life so I may enjoy a healthier future self. While addressing all my layers that I want to change, she guides me with factual information which I implement to keep my progress on track. As I make constant choices for my positive change, I frequently share the golden nuggets of wisdom with a family of friends and have witnessed their progress as well. Reflecting regularly helps me fine tune my goals while addressing my wins and challenges. Choosing to have Selena as a life coach has been one of my smartest self-investments. I'm grateful for this rich relationship of guidance Selena offers to me consistently.”

“I decided to coach with Selena because I was in a rut and had lost my spark after moving. For three years I longed for new connections and purpose, and considered a life coach to help me get unstuck.  But I convinced myself I was fine and I shouldn’t need help.  Finally I grew weary of feeling just “fine.”  I attended a workshop where I met a lovely and inspiring woman who spoke highly about coaching with Selena. I decided to make the commitment to create a more fulfilling life!

I feel more fulfilled and less overwhelmed as I evaluate my core values and priorities, and refine my decision-making and time management practices.

I recommend coaching with Selena to any woman who continually browses self-help podcast, books, and Instagram quotes for motivation, but does not make progress or change.  I recommend coaching with Selena for anyone who feels their goals or problems are too big or not big enough!

Choosing to work with a coach is empowering, not a weakness!  I am so grateful for the opportunity.”
