Meet the Coach

Staci Simmons, DNP, APRN, CPNP-AC, CNE

My professional journey has included roles as a nurse practitioner, educator, faculty leader, and program coordinator. While those experiences have shaped me, they are not what define me. At my core, I am a follower of Christ who believes that every person has inherent worth, unique gifts, and a purpose that is still unfolding.

My faith influences how I show up in every area of my life, including coaching. I believe we are created for more than achievement alone. We are called to live with purpose, steward our gifts well, cultivate meaningful relationships, and align our lives with what matters most. Yet even successful, high-achieving people can find themselves wondering if there is something more, something deeper, or something missing.

My own experiences with burnout, uncertainty, and redefining success led me to coaching. Along the way, I learned the value of slowing down, listening well, and creating space for reflection. I discovered that growth often happens not when we work harder, but when we become more intentional about who we are becoming.

As a coach, I bring a values-based, reflective approach grounded in curiosity, compassion, and authentic connection. I believe people are naturally creative, resourceful, and capable of discovering their own answers. My role is not to direct your path but to walk alongside you, ask meaningful questions, and create a space where you can think deeply, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

I have completed an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited coach training program and am currently working toward the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the ICF.

Most importantly, I view coaching as an opportunity to serve others. It is a privilege to hear someone's story, celebrate their strengths, and support them as they pursue a life and career that reflects their values, purpose, and calling. I would be honored to do the same for you.

Step toward what matters to you.
