About Renee

As you get to know me through my wellness & financial blog, you will find that I am passionate about a few things: first, my family, then money and health. And, you will come to find out that I have a deep belief in God and practical spirituality.

My Road to Personal Wealth Coach

Many people ask how I came to be a personal wealth coach. So, here is the never before revealed story of my financial follies and how I went from a financial illiterate to a wealth advisor:

You have heard the old joke that someone says “I can’t be out of money– I still have checks in my checkbook.” Well, I actually said that very thing to my dad one day when I was in college. Sadly, I told him that the bank had to be wrong I could not be overdrawn; I still had more checks in my checkbook. Not only did I have plenty of checks, I had plenty of plastic and ran my credit cards up to over $7,000 of debt before the credit card companies tracked down my parents to start paying off my bills.

At this time, we won’t go into the semester off of school I had to take to get a full time J-O-B and all of the controlled budgeting that my mom did with my paychecks. But, I will tell you that from that experience almost 25 years ago, I have developed a passion for keeping money and I have grown into a respected and empathetic financial coach.

My husband Chip and I have owned and operated a successful wealth coaching and insurance firm for well over 20 years. Although we are primarily wealth advisors, due to our safe investment advice over the years, we have been called wealth preservation advisors by many of our clients.

As a personal wealth coach, my expertise is in providing creative “money planning” ideas to my clients with an emphasis on their spiritual, psychological and emotional relationship with money. After over 2 decades of helping my clients build wealth face to face, I am excited that my reach has been extended to more people through this personal finance blog and that I am able to provide millions of people with personal finance information online.

Additionally, over the years, I have researched many (maybe all) of the ways people can earn passive income; which is the kind of income where a person does not trade their time for money.

Improving Wealth AND Health with Passive Income

I believe that time is not money, but that money is money and time is, LIFE. And I know that all of us have the right to live a glorious stress-free life.

I also think that many people work hard for their money instead having their money work hard for them, and that this puts an enormous amount of stress on their lives and bodies. My belief is that this is the main cause of all the major illness that affects our world.

I have a zealous plan to reach and teach people a better way so they can live the life that was intended for them, which is the reason that I created this blog to help people learn about improving their health, wealth and the pursuit of happiness.

It is important to know that, first as a hobby then as an intense study; I have been researching and practicing alternative health options for more than 30 years. I have had success with many “forgotten” home remedies and outside-of the-box healing techniques and technologies.

Reiki Energy & Healing

My most recent line of study in the area of stress management and spirituality has been laser focused on Reiki. I have had amazing results with this practice and believe it to be the best technique I have found for stress relief and relaxation. I not only love practicing Reiki, but believe that the method will assist me in accomplishing my mission in life, which is changing the lives of millions of people around the world and spreading the truth about money, love, health and happiness. If you are interested, you can find out more by reading my Reiki blog entries.

You can see that I am a highly driven person with huge goals and aspirations. Although I visualize achieving them all, they take a second seat to my top priority in life, which is my wonderful family. My husband, our two children and I have a blast together. We love to play and have fun participating in tons of outdoor activities. We particularly enjoy boating and other water sports in the summer and snowmobiling in winter. We play hard. There are many days that we play until we literally cannot play anymore.

But, I believe in balance, so I make time to meditate and pray. I enjoy practicing Reiki to balance the Reiki energy in our home and in our bodies. I also love to write, especially in our log home on a cold winter day sitting in front of the fireplace, listening to Zen music, while I am enjoying a great glass of wine and taking in the aroma of a wonderful meal that is baking for our family.
