Meet Lynne

lynne-baker-photo-webMy name is Lynne Baker, I am a professional life coach and owner of Heart to Heart Coaching.

My entire professional career has been built upon assisting and supporting others in their desire to become the best person they desire to be.  Whether it has been exploring colleges for the best “fit”, examining relationships or assisting individuals with a single stressful situation, my continuing focus is on benefiting them in their quest for life’s best choices for them.

My Coaching Philosophy

My personal philosophy is based on my belief that each and every human being was created by the Lord God Creator and therefore possesses value and worth. Confidentiality has been one of my primary hallmarks since I began working with other people.

Second Launches

Experiencing many second launches in my own life, I have gained insight and discernment in several of the major roles of life: single, married, divorced, mother, single mother and stepmother have been some of my functions in my life’s journey. I have gained so much insight from each of those specific passages. I am currently married, and have been for eighteen years. I am the mother of two children, Alycia (age 38) and Ben (age 30) and the stepmother of Rachael (38).
