Geri has been married to her high school sweetheart for thirty-one years; has one married daughter and one adult son. With her children grown now, she and her husband are able to spend more time doing the fitness activities and sports of all kinds that they enjoy: biking, running, weight-lifting, hiking, fly-fishing, golfing, tennis and skiing. Yet, her top two passions in life are being a worshipper and helping women reach for wholeness – spirit, soul and body!

| From growing up as the oldest girl of nine children to being a wife, mother, personal trainer, and entrepreneur, Geri has always maintained a strong focus on balance. As a Life Purpose Coach, she is excited to help women find a God-led balance in their lives while they move towards their own unique purpose. Geri’s background and experience enables her to provide her clients with a broad and deep perspective as she sees each woman as a whole – spirit, soul and body – and joins her on her purpose journey. Geri and her husband, Ron, moved from Ohio to Durango, Colorado recently to fulfill their God-inspired vision: To facilitate Couples’ Life Plans in a retreat setting in the mountains of Southwest Colorado; where they will also share their passion for all the adventures that await just outside their door. |

| Geri has had a personal and vital relationship with the Lord for thirty-five years. She continues to make the health and growth of that relationship, and remaining always teachable, her number one priority. Throughout her Christian walk, Geri has taught and/or facilitated women’s Bible Studies and small groups using studies by authors such as Beth Moore and Kay Arthur, and has taken part in women’s retreats in the roles of speaker and/or organizer. She also started ministries such as a Prayer Chain as well as a Prayer and Praise group in her home church. |

Geri has over twenty years of experience in working with women of all ages. Most recently, she played the role of coach as an ACE-Certified Personal Trainer with her own business for over a dozen years. In this role, she helped women and couples realize their fitness goals by designing and implementing customized fitness programs. Because she worked with each client one-on-one in their homes, she was able to develop a relationship with them and often got beyond their fitness goals to minister to their spiritual needs.
During her tenure as a trainer, Geri also served as an advisory board member of a Christian jewelry company. RememberMe Jewelry, Inc. markets Greek and Hebrew symbols through the internet, Christian bookstores, catalogs, and Christian event sales. In addition, Geri enjoyed the opportunities to work at events and partake in what God is doing through the message of the scripture-based jewelry.
Geri also held the position of Director of Prevention Education at the Crisis Pregnancy Center, in which she trained, coached and led a team of teens who spoke to their peers throughout the local school system on the benefits of abstinence before marriage.
Prior to that, Geri worked as a Peer Counselor at the Crisis Pregnancy Center. In this role, she coached and assisted young mothers-to-be with their functional and emotional needs during a critical time in their lives. In all of these positions, Geri was able to hone her communication and people skills with women of all ages. God has taken Geri from Prevention Trainer to Personal Trainer to Purpose Trainer!
