About Me

Yes, you can have a life you enjoy while fulfilling your dreams and goals including running a highly successful business that delights you completely!

Working together will result in a dramatic increase in your self-confidence, crystal clear clarity on your purpose, the delight of watching your vision come to life, and so much more.

My clients are the ones who aren't afraid to deviate from the norm and forge their own path. Is that you? If that's the case, you don't have to go it alone. I'm here to assist you.

Hello, I’m Winnie Okafor, a Certified Transformational Life, and Mental Health Coach since 2001 and the owner of Grace Services, Transformational Life Coaching and Consultation Services located in Mansfield, Texas.

I work with the best individuals & groups to achieve their goals and live a life of purpose. According to Forbes (Jan, 2020), extremely successful public figures from Oprah Winfrey, Bill Clinton, and Leonardo DiCaprio to Bill Gates work extensively with a life coach for various reasons. Which is awesome! However, I believe that the best life coaching service should be accessible and affordable. Everyone deserves equal opportunity to attain their greatest heights including their goals and dreams.

My goal is for you to achieve your goals and dreams while living a fulfilling and empowered life, one of authenticity and freedom. I am passionate about empowering individuals to TRANSFORM their lives by helping them to let go of emotional baggage, REPURPOSE their plans and RECLAIM their power so they can ignite their passion and walk in purpose.

I am committed to helping you maintain balance, deal with changes in your life, and transition. The essence of my work is to facilitate self-growth by helping you identify your core physical, psychological, and/or spiritual challenges so that you can overcome them with confidence. Only then, will you be able to fully embrace who they are and start living happier, healthier & authentic life.

Coaching with me

How I like to coach

I take a collaborative approach with my clients to empower them to rebuild and maintain healthy, fulfilling lives, careers, relations, and dreams. 

I provide my clients with practical tools and evidence-based approaches to assist them as individuals, teams, and/ or families in their quest to achieve their goals.

I empower my clients to strengthen their families by helping them to free themselves of emotional bondage and repurpose their pain so they can walk in their passion and purpose.

I cherish the importance of cultural competence and awareness and have worked with a diverse population of clients. I specialize in working with high performers, achievers, women, men, and families, with high success rates.

Courses

This is 3-Month Group Coaching package

Do you feel lost, empty, and isolated as you experience an all-time low in your self-esteem due to trauma, grief, and relationships with Narcissistic persons?

Do you want to be in a supportive community of individuals who faced similar struggles for recovery?

Are you going through a tough divorce, in recovery or just needing support from women like yourself?

Get some time back to enjoy the things you love.  Then you need to review the list of specialized groups that I facilitate.

This option provides more sustained support and guidance in developing skills for managing the transition into a new chapter of your life. 

My group coaching programs are designed for people whose lives were turned over by the loss of a loved one, life transitions, needing more support for themselves and their families, who need to build their self-esteem, self-confidence, recovering from the cycle of bad relationships, and survivors of traumatic life experiences.

We work on practices for dealing with grief, other difficult emotions, and anxiety of adapting to the absence of your loved one in your life.

·      Quiet the mental anxiety that comes with all the life changes you're coping with, so you can protect your health and your sanity.  

·      Lean into the emotional experiences so they can heal you.

·      Address difficult family dynamics that make you want to divorce yourself from the world around you.

·      Rediscover the pleasures of daily life so you feel like you're reconnecting with the world.

Transition Session: After you've completed group coaching sessions/ webinar class, we'll do a progress review to see how you've changed and what your next steps will be. We'll develop a "what's next" plan for you to continue your healing and growth.
