Adirondack Life Coaching
Holistic Trauma-Informed Coaching for Thriving in the Complexities of Life
About
Welcome!
My name is Chrys (short for Chrysalis).
I specialize in helping motivated individuals with big aspirations break through self-doubt, anxiety and overwhelm in order to reach their goals and live their best life along the way.
Many of us these days are balancing a combination of work, family, current or past traumas, health concerns and more. Maybe you sense that others rely on you to hold it (and everything else) together. Maybe in addition to your own personal battles, you carry the weight of world on your shoulders, because you understand we are all connected. That's a lot of pressure.
Whether anxiety, self-doubt and overwhelm are frequent visitors or your constant companions, you are not alone and help is on the way. You can experience what it is to break free and thrive even when life itself is complicated.
As a childhood trauma survivor, I am well acquainted with anxiety, overwhelm and self-doubt. I am also a two-time adult cancer warrior with firsthand experience navigating the medical system, the anxieties involved with a life-changing diagnosis, and the endeavor to thrive in the midst of it all.
Suffice to say, I have learned a few things over the years and am committed to sharing what I know and continue to learn in order to ease the way for others.
I am a Life Coach trained through the International Coach Federation and hold degrees in psychology, social work and theology, and I am a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor. I also have over 40 years experience in social work and care of the human spirit.
My approach integrates these specialties with my many years of life experience to offer clients compassionate, healing, transformative and forward-moving coaching that recognizes the complexities of life, the connections between mind, body and spirit, and the wholeness of each person.
In each session, whether One-on-One or Group, you will receive from me deep listening, clarifying questions and supportive education. Together we will make a plan to help you achieve your next step or goal.
As we unearth and repair limiting beliefs about ourselves and how the world works, and as we grow our capacity for healthy relationships (including relationship to Self), we begin to exchange overwhelm for ease and clarity. We exchange anxiety for peaceful empowerment. We effortlessly transform our life and the world around us. We reach goals. We remember who we were meant to be. We heal. We thrive. We become the hero of our own life story.
This is where Adirondack Life Coaching can help.
I am continually inspired by the journeys of my clients and the resilience and creativity that resides inside us all.
No matter who you are, where life has taken you, what struggles you are currently experiencing, you are welcome here and you deserve every happiness.

Testimonials
Coach Chrys Beck was a wonderful resource for helping me find my way through a difficult situation after trying to resolve it on my own for months. As we talked, she was not only able to help me resolve my situation, but helped me build trust and confidence in myself and guide me through the process of discernment for the next step in my journey. Her time with me resulted in my letting go of my fears of the unknown and stepping into creating a new path that was God-led and fulfilling. I highly recommend Coach Chrys as a wonderful resource in walking through any situation and coming out the other side stronger.
- Rev. Becky Guthrie, UMC Ordained Deacon
Chrys is a gifted listener who created a safe space for me to deeply discern my call to ministry. Her coaching style weaves genuine compassionate soul care with gentle verbal nudging - empowering me to arrive at the answers myself and not feel like I was ever “told what to do.” She is a gifted coach and I would work with her again in an instant!
- Amber Brown
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Coaching?
The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines Coaching as the act of partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize their personal and professional potential.
Through a process of deep listening, powerful questions, goal setting and accountability, the coach helps the client achieve fulfillment, self-discovery and forward action toward goals.

What is Trauma-Informed Coaching
Sometimes the things that block our progress are deeply ingrained. Trauma-Informed Coaching helps the client acknowledge current and past experiences that may impact the quality and forward-movement they desire. The client benefits from having a compassionate and supportive listener who can allow space for processing difficult emotions and gain new life-giving insights. While not therapy, this coaching approach can have a healing effect.
What is Functional Nutrition Counseling?
Functional Nutrition Counseling is a modality that works to not just support but educate the client in what's going on in their body and how making uniquely targeted diet and lifestyle modifications will shift the terrain and help them to meet their goals.
- Andrea Nakayama, Founder of the Functional Nutrition Alliance
Many Adirondack Life Coaching clients who have health or stress-related goals benefit from FNC coaching, which can be incorporated without added cost into any package.

Why combine Trauma-Informed Coaching with Functional Nutrition Counseling?
Because everything is connected. Stress impacts our body's ability to digest and utilize nutrients. Nutrients play a critical role in health, healing, mood, energy, focus, and overall sense of well-being. Combining these two modalities addresses the whole person, helping the client understand their unique needs and how they can best support themselves in their journey.
Functional Nutrition Counseling can be added without added cost to any package and is especially useful if their are health or stress-related goals.
