Hi, I’m Minnina Smith, Founder of That Dose of Encouragement Coaching. I want to first acknowledge that if you’re experiencing grief or a personal struggle right now, you are not alone, and seeking support is a powerful first step. While I am currently working toward offering counseling services in the future, my role today is as a life coach, not a licensed therapist. If you are in need of a therapist or counselor, I encourage you to explore the directory I’ve provided. There, you’ll find diverse professionals who can offer the specific mental health care you may need, along with a list of coaching peers who may also be able to assist you.

​

As a life coach, I specialize in grief support and purpose development, helping individuals like you process deep loss, gain clarity, and begin the journey toward emotional healing. 

​

Grief support coaching is different from counseling in that it focuses on your present and future, rather than exploring deep psychological patterns from the past. My role as a coach is to be your guide, helping you navigate the emotional waves of grief while offering practical, compassionate tools to work through the pain. Together, we’ll find ways to honor your loss and transform it into something meaningful—whether that’s finding peace, rediscovering joy, or achieving new goals.

​

On the other hand, purpose development coaching is about helping you align with your unique path in life. Whether you're feeling lost or overwhelmed by life's transitions, I can help you set goals that are deeply meaningful and create actionable steps to achieve them. We’ll work together to discover what lights you up and empowers you to move forward.

​

If you’re looking for someone to walk alongside you on your healing journey, I’m here to help. My approach is gentle, non-judgmental, and focused on turning pain into purpose and fulfillment. Remember, the difference between coaching and counseling is that coaching is future-focused. I’ll help you take actionable steps toward personal growth and healing, while counseling digs deeper into the past to uncover emotional or psychological roots. Both are valuable, but coaching is about taking that next step forward with a clear plan.

​

Allow me to be a part of your healing journey. Now is the time to heal, grow, and rediscover your purpose. I’m here to support you every step of the way. Contact me today, and let’s begin your path to personal fulfillment together.
