What is Breaking Waves Mentoring?
My work exists for one reason: to give you hope. Life can be so complicated, and we can often find ourselves feeling like we are the only person in the world with our particular struggle and we long for solutions.​
​
We have seasons that find us in both wanted or unwanted transition; moving, retiring, empty nest, a new career or divorce and grief. Perhaps an unresolved issue keeps plaguing your life, or our marriage is in trouble. Maybe trauma has swept you out to sea and you need support to re-gain your footing.
As a specialty coach, I want to help you find the answers, resolve the pain points, process the experiences, identify the limiting beliefs and move forward with intention and wholeness. Together, we can create a road map to the life you have always wanted!
Take Back Your Life
Start Living
When Tammy speaks she has lived what she is talking about and relates to not just women but to men also. She makes you laugh, cry, feel her mercy, love & forgiveness so if needed you can apply it to your own life. She blesses and is blessed.

Testimonials
We credit Tammy for helping us to save our marriage after an affair. She helped us to understand so many pieces that we had somehow missed over the prior 20 years together. We really felt like she was a battle buddy.
