Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/18/2009 -- Financial freedom doesn’t just happen overnight. Especially in the midst of an economical recession, a little push in the right direction can be just what the average financially-strapped North American needs. This is where Melissa Cappleman of Coach Melissa, LLC comes in.

A certified financial coach, Cappleman is dedicated to helping her clients reach the epitome of financial freedom and enjoy a debt-free life. Tossing aside complicated formulas and financial jargon, she teaches her clients to achieve a new perspective on their life and their finances through a common-sense approach, straight-forward advice and a customized budget.

Getting out of debt is not always an easy task without outside help. Obligatory bills such as mortgage and car payments, groceries and everyday living can certainly add up and feel overwhelming. Helping people from all walks of life in both the United States and Canada, Cappleman’s services include: budget planning, debt management, retirement planning, college planning and even tips on how to manage collection agency calls.

Cappleman herself is no stranger to the seemingly never-ending downward spiral called debt. She spent years trying to lose the financial worry that followed her around on a daily basis.

As a single mother, she tried to remain focused on her career and motherhood. But anxiety over her finances persisted. It wasn’t until the day she discovered The Dave Ramsey Show, a free podcast dedicated to helping people understand how their life and relationships revolve around money, that she began to view her monetary situation in a new light. The financial advice offered through this show was life changing and opened her mind up to the possibility of personal finance coaching.

“I listened to The Dave Ramsey Show for four months and was intrigued by the advice provided. I was touched by how he helped others transform their lives.” She says, “As someone who already lived for helping other people, this program piqued my interest and motivated me to seek a career in personal financial coaching.”

Before she coached others however, she needed to get her own finances in order. This is when she decided to seek the help of her own coach. Cappleman’s experience with her own personal coach was a positive one. Together they developed a plan that would pull her out of debt using sensible methods to develop a custom budget suiting her lifestyle and a financial plan that worked just for her. Using this experience as a stepping stone in the right direction, Cappleman soon attended and graduated from the Dave Ramsey Certified Counselor Training program.

Her own struggles with debt and financial recovery helps Cappleman understand where her clients are coming from.

“I am proof that it’s possible to break free from the prison of debt. I believe my own experience and sensible advice helps my clients feel at ease. Understanding where my clients are coming from establishes a trust that, together, we can rise above their debt.” Says Cappleman, “I enjoy helping change my clients’ mindsets toward money. How you handle your money is truly a mentality. Helping my clients establish a plan that works for them and seeing them stick to it is very rewarding.”

Because Cappleman is dedicated to seeing her clients succeed, she works on a sliding scale, ensuring all clients can afford her services. Her coaching services begin with a 45-minute FREE phone consultation and continues with personalized sessions committed to helping clients live debt free.

Integrity Counselling & Coaching Services is entered to win $15,500! Help us get there with your votes!

Brampton, Ontario -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/24/2009 -- Integrity Counselling & Coaching Services has put our name into the ring to win The SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award! The SavvyMom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year award is a readers’ choice contest designed to find Canada’s top Mom Entrepreneur. The winner will be announced in the fall, and will be rewarded with a custom package worth $15,500 in cash and prizes designed to help take that business to the next level.

A single parent to one child, Cheryl launched her private practice in February, 2007, but has been a counsellor and coach for over 13 years. Cheryl’s desire to break from the restrictions often found in traditional therapy encouraged her to seek other options for herself. Her inspiration to launch her own counselling and coaching business stems from decades of studying the likes of Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra; individuals who paved the way in incorporating spirituality into physical and mental healing.

The work she has done under the guidance of Buddhist Monks and other spiritual sages has allowed her to help people manage their stress and related issues in a profound and humbling way. Cheryl is a firm believer that her clients see better results with the incorporation of spiritual techniques into her work, rather than using therapy alone.

“My clients state how empowered they feel now and that their lives have changed profoundly for the better.” She says, “They tell me how different their mindsets are now that they understand that they can achieve whatever they set their minds on and they view life differently, more positively. That’s what I define my success by.”

Cheryl is extremely proud of her endeavours thus far, not only in watching her clients grow, but in watching her knowledge of the business world expand. She has learned a lot about business since launching Integrity Counselling & Coaching Services and looks forward to seeing it reach new heights.

Since launching her practice and writing her first book, Cheryl can now see herself reaching levels never imagined before. If she wins the title of Canada’s Mom Entrepreneur of the year, Cheryl will have more opportunity to grow and reach out to more people through books, audio CD’s, teleseminar series, speaking engagements and eventually, she would like to open a therapeutic resort, bringing people together and coaching them in a group setting.

“I am so excited about entering the contest! I know that I have big plans and with big plans come more financing.” She says, “I know that I have the ability to achieve all that I envision for my business and my clients. With every spiritual thought an action is required. This is one of my actions.”

Throughout the contest period, Savvymom.ca will be hosting a ‘Mom Entrepreneurs Gallery’ at http://www.mompentreneuraward.com. Integrity Counselling & Coaching Services can be viewed by clicking on this URL http://momentrepreneuraward.ca/MomBio.aspx?momID=325.
