About Us
Hello! Nice to meet you.
Wake Coaching is a story of resilience, growth, and purpose. Founded by Jeff and Ali, an entrepreneurial couple united by a shared passion for helping others, Wake Coaching blends decades of experience in ministry, business, and life coaching to inspire leaders to design lives and businesses they love.
Our story is shaped by both extraordinary challenges and incredible joys. In 2017, we were each widowed—life-altering losses that brought deep grief and the need to rebuild our lives. Through mutual friends, we met in 2019 and discovered a connection rooted in shared values and a desire to create something meaningful. As we began building a blended family of seven children, we also started dreaming about a business that could combine our complementary skills to help others overcome their own challenges. Wake Coaching was born from this vision.
The journey hasn’t been without its trials. Blending a family, starting two businesses, navigating financial hurdles, moving across the country, and learning new industries all tested our resolve. Yet, every high and low taught us valuable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and living intentionally. These experiences shape the way we guide our clients today.
At Wake Coaching, we understand that business and personal challenges are deeply interconnected. Drawing from our own journey, we help clients overcome obstacles that hold them back—whether it’s outdated systems, limiting beliefs, or the emotional weight of change. We work with entrepreneurs, leadership teams, and individuals to bring clarity and action to their lives and businesses.
Together, we believe in helping others take control—not by chance, but by design. Whether you’re seeking to refine your business, improve your systems, or create a more intentional life, Wake Coaching is here to guide you toward your goals.
