Welcome

Hi, my name is Jon Schaadt (pronounced "shot", don't worry no one ever gets it right on the first attempt). 

Can I be real with you? 

I should list off a bunch of stuff to make me look important and successful, but what I want you to know about me is that I genuinely care for people. 

I love encouraging people to take steps forward, challenging others to grow, and supporting changes toward healthy habits.

As an experienced, certified mental health coach, I have the tools and understanding to help you bridge the gap between your current circumstances and the life you’d like to lead.

Seekers and travelers have long sought out guides for a journey. Whether touring a sacred site abroad or navigating everyday life right at home, guides are invaluable to any meaningful journey.

My goal is to serve as a guide. Providing a fresh, informed perspective; coming alongside you as you navigate life. My individualized approach can help you negotiate your unique situation, no matter the point in life you find yourself:

• marriage
• parenting
• grief
• adolescence
• decision-making
• find yourself stuck

It’s helpful to have guides who “hold the lantern,” so to speak, to help illuminate the path. Their role is not to tell us what to do, which is often the assumption. Instead, they help to bring more clarity to the journey that’s already underway. As Galileo Galilei once said, “You cannot teach a person anything. You can only help them discover it within themselves.”

In life, we come across choices and big hurdles. But it’s the person who takes the hard path and overcomes the hurdles that persevere. So be courageous to take that next step.

Committing to a healthier lifestyle is just that – a commitment, and it’s a big one that will take a lot of dedication.  My commitment is to provide you with the accountability, understanding, and support necessary to take your next step.
