About Lynaire
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and. Certified life coach. I helped a man who had schizophrenia break away from a woman who took all his money and refused to have sex with him. Together we found the perfect woman for him and they happily ever after and got married. He lost 100 lbs and got out of debt. He was chosen as the most improved mental health client in the county.
Why do I coach?
I like to help people overcome their obstacles, seek balance in their life, and empower them to live a better life. I was very ill, close to death a few years ago and I am much better now.
