About the founder: Corinne holds a degree in psychology; a Masters in Education, is a National Board Certified Teacher (Disability Specialist), as well as is a certified master life coach. She specializes in trauma informed practices, resilience/productivity coaching and helping each client to find what fulfills their greater purpose. She has over nine years experience as a crisis intervention trainer, and has taken (as well as offered) extensive social emotional trainings on a variety of topics all over the Pacific Northwest. She was a certified PK-21 teacher for fifteen years before retiring and starting her first company.

Her company name, Empowered Ascendance, came out of a deep passion for empowering others to rise above the adversities they may face in life. This is an opportunity for each client to identify areas that they wish to change, and then help them to identify steps needed to get there and scaffolded support plans.  Corinne's unique life experiences, and continued work through her own adversities, optimize her ability to understand and help others from the perspective of somebody who has gone through many challenges and personally risen through them.

She wants every person who works with her to feel empowered,  move their lives forward (ascending) in the best possible way to help them meet their personal goals and live their best life.
