CRC Life Coaching is Russell and Tonia Church. Russell has been coaching since 2013; Tonia brings two decades of leading and coaching people in corporate life. Both work with the Enneagram, and both start from the same place: you are the expert on your own life.
Founder, Certified Holistic Coach
Russell has spent more than 25 years studying what helps people change: meditation, NLP, the Enneagram, and a lot of one-on-one conversation. He is an ICF Associate Certified Coach, a Reiki Master Teacher, and an ordained minister. Clients describe him as gentle, calm, and easy to talk to, and say he has a habit of asking the one more question that gets to the heart of things.
Coach and consultant
Tonia spent 20-plus years in upper management, leading and coaching individuals and teams, and holds a master's degree from Trevecca University. In recent years she has trained in the Enneagram and uses it to help couples and colleagues understand how their personalities fit together, and how to communicate so both people feel heard.
Life coaching is not therapy. We don't dig through your past. We look at where you are, what is in the way, and what you want next, and then we build a plan and hold you to it.
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute conversation to see whether we're a good fit. From there, pick the kind of work you need.
For career changes, burnout, retirement, relationships, breaking old habits, or a season where you feel stuck. Forty-five-minute sessions focused on where you want to go and what is blocking you.
Book a free consultStop arguing past each other. Using the Enneagram and NLP, we help you learn each other's communication styles and personality types so you can talk, listen, and respond with empathy instead of resentment.
Book a free couples consultA two-hour conversation about what you like, what you don't, and how you react, to find where you sit on the Enneagram. You leave understanding the motivations behind your behavior, not just the behavior.
Book a typing sessionFor men who want to live with more confidence, purpose, and meaning, and want a direct, practical partner in getting there.
Book a free consultChoosing a coach is personal, so we keep the first step free and the rest simple.
We talk about what you're looking for and make sure we're a good fit for each other.
A single session, a month of weekly sessions, or six months of dedicated work.
Pay when you book or by invoice. We accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Venmo, and Zelle.
Sessions are by Zoom or phone. There is homework between sessions. Accountability is the point.
We did the session spur of the moment and in spite of my lack of focus, he was able to guide me in a direction that was so necessary for me in the moment. Even when I thought the session was over, he asked one more question, which led to the crux of all of it.
Suzie, Nashville
Russell has a genuine gentleness and sense of calm that is not only contagious, it makes him incredibly easy to talk to. He truly creates a judgment-free zone where you can let your hair down and really work through your blocks.
Erica, Nashville
CRC life coaches seem to have an innate ability to focus in on the areas that need the most work without judging or trying to fit me into a mold. They know and help me see what I am capable of.

Decide how much time you want to put in. We'll recommend one during your consultation.
Target one issue and work it through in a friendly, confidential conversation. Good for a decision, a transition, or a stuck point you want to move past this week.
A commitment to yourself for one month. We go deeper into what you want to change and build the habits that get you there.
Room to explore everything that has been holding you back, and time to change it. For people ready to do the work.
Sessions are paid before the appointment, either at booking or by invoice. PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Venmo, and Zelle accepted.
Coaching is a partnership. The coach guides, asks questions, and gives you tools and a thought-provoking process so you can uncover your own answers and act on them. It is focused on your future, not your past.
It depends on your situation, what you want, and how much work you put in between sessions. Some goals move in a single session; others take months. We'll talk through it honestly in your consultation.
No. We help you understand yourself, clarify your values, and plan your next steps. There is homework after each session, and it's up to you to do it. Accountability is where the change happens.
No. Coaching is not psychotherapy or counseling, and a coach is not trained to diagnose or treat psychological conditions. Therapy helps people heal and understand the past; coaching helps people get results in the present and future. If therapy is what you need, we'll say so.
Pick a time that works for you. The first 30 minutes are free, with no obligation. You'll get a Zoom link by email.
