MarySue Tolson

ICF Associate Certified Coach

About

MarySue is an ICF Associate Certified Coach who is driven by the belief that when we reconnect with ourselves, we reclaim our energy and unlock the strength to transform every area of our lives. Her own journey reflects this truth. For more than 20 years, she has provided direct support to people with developmental disabilities. Her decades in direct care give her a unique, lived understanding of what service-driven fatigue feels like. Over time, she began to experience the exhaustion many service-driven individuals face: burnout, overwhelm, and the weight of constantly putting herself last. This sense of depletion sparked a profound transformation, built through small, intentional steps forward. 

Through regular self-care, mindful presence, and sustainable daily routines, MarySue has built practices that consistently refill her cup. These practices enabled her to show up for others with renewed strength and presence. Prioritizing her well-being has not just restored her energy; it has reconnected her to her purpose. Now, she is devoted to helping others find that same sense of grounded wholeness.

As a Whole Person Coach, MarySue specializes in supporting caregivers, educators, healthcare workers, and service-driven individuals who give endlessly and often struggle to set boundaries, recover from burnout, or feel permission to care for themselves.

MarySue’s coaching is guided by the truth that well-being is not optional: it is foundational. She creates a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space. In this space, clients can step back, gain clarity, and realign with their inner needs. Whether she is guiding someone through the realities of burnout, helping them rebuild sustainable habits, or supporting a shift toward healthier patterns, MarySue brings a steady, grounding presence into every session.

Her commitment to her own well-being is woven through both her coaching and her personal life. Outside of her work, MarySue finds replenishment in nature. She loves hiking, camping, traveling, spending time with her husband and their dogs, and experiencing the healing power of being outdoors. These moments of connection remind her that nature, moving with intention, and mindfully slowing down are key to living a deeply nourished life.

If you are ready to reclaim your energy, restore your balance, and build a life that truly fills your cup, MarySue would be honored to walk with you as you step into a more grounded and nourished way of living.

- Eli Heidenreich, Executive Director

MarySue has helped me to frame my way of thinking in ways that have greatly helped me through a few very difficult situations that I have been working through. She always has methods to shares and tips to provide for specific problems or issues that I am dealing with. She is great at helping me take a step back to see the whole picture, rather than focus on the parts that are troubling. She also has a great way of getting me to solve my own problems.

- Josh Kretzmann, Community Outreach / Events Coordinator

MarySue’s calm presence and insightful coaching helped me gain clarity when I needed it most. One powerful question she asked shifted my perspective and gave me the confidence to move toward a lifelong goal. Thank you MarySue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is coaching?
Coaching is a collaborative, goal-oriented process that helps individuals gain clarity, build self-awareness, and take meaningful action toward personal or professional growth. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing past wounds, coaching is forward-focused, guiding clients toward solutions, breakthroughs, and transformation.

A coach provides support, accountability, and tools to help clients overcome challenges, develop new habits, and align their lives with their values and goals. Whether it's improving well-being, enhancing relationships, or creating a more fulfilling life, coaching empowers individuals to unlock their potential and create lasting, positive change.
