About Genna Marie

Professional Life Coach. Relationship Coach. Trauma-Informed Coach. Sex Educator and Intimacy Coach.

Welcome! My name is Genna Marie, and I am a Certified Whole Person Life Coach and Certified Holistic Sex Educator. With over 15 years of experience working with individuals in the Social Service and Mental Health field's, I have honed my skills of compassion, empathy, and forward thinking. My background includes a degree in Psychology, certifications in Sexual Assault Counseling and Trauma, which have provided me with a strong foundation for understanding human behavior and emotions.

I reside in the Pittsburgh, PA area and welcome both local and distant clients as I am available to Coach over zoom or phone. I enjoy spending time outdoors, from hiking to paddleboarding, but where I am most at peace is being by water or trying new coffee shops. I enjoy surrounding myself with new people where I can learn and grow just by observing patterns and asking questions, so that I might be able to educate myself about various feelings and lifestyles. While I have loved the work I have done with mental health and trauma, I felt that somehow, I needed to explore the avenue of Coaching. Having experienced loss, as well as walking alongside many friends who have suffered with illness, grief and hoplessness, I had a strong desire to offer not only my lived experience, but also an educated approach at supporting and Coaching. Once I began, I knew it was where I was called to be.

What Is My Role As A Life Coach?

As a life coach, my role is to assist individuals in navigating through life's challenges and transitions. Life events, both big and small, have the power to shape us and alter the course we had planned for ourselves. I firmly believe that life moves forward, and it is our responsibility to actively determine how we want our journey to unfold. What I have gathered is that as hard as anyone tries, events will occur in our lives, of varying degree, that change us, shape us, even throwing off our “plan” that we had for our life course. By leveraging my training, extensive conversations, and personal experiences, I strive to empower my clients to take an active role in designing the future they desire.

My Experience

Having worked with diverse individuals, I have supported clients through significant life events such as the loss of a partner, divorce, illness, disabilities and the feeling of being stuck and yearning for change. In addition, my certification as a Holistic Sex Educator allows me to integrate discussions on relationships, sexuality, and consent into my coaching practice. I assist clients in exploring their individual sexuality while living with an illness or disability, non-traditional forms of relationships, building confidence in their own sexuality, and introducing safe and consensual resources into their lives.
