*ABOUT ME*
Bethany Comerford
* Certified Faith-based Life Coach
*Certified Color Code Interpersonal Skills Trainer
Ever since I was a teenager I've wanted to be in a profession that helps people be the happiest they can be. I love psychology and learning how different people think and act. I have always felt that I have a gift for understanding people by being able to easily put myself in their shoes to be able to see things from their point of view. Being able to do that helps me to better aide them in not only accepting things as they are now, but also in making decisions and goals for their future. I am also able to help them appreciate other points of view so that they can strengthen their relationships with others. I also enjoy public speaking and the opportunity it gives me to reach as many people as possible at one time.
As a Color Code Interpersonal Skills Trainer I teach workshops and speak about the very powerful Color Code theory. The Color Code identifies the motives for our behaviors, not just the behaviors themselves. The Color Code Assessment identifies an individual as Red, Blue, White, or Yellow. Each color has a different and distinct core motive: Power, Intimacy, Peace, and Fun. Once a person understands the Color Code, they are better able to understand and connect with those they live, work, and interact with. I have been living by the Color Code since I was about 14 years old! I've found in my coaching experience that it is the major tool that brings about change and hope in people's lives.
I enjoy reading, traveling, cheering on my triathlet husband, love watching football and UFC, and love to laugh! I have been married to my sweet husband, Cameron, since 2002 and we have two beautiful daughters and live in Gilbert, Arizona.

RELATIONSHIP COACHING SESSION
Learn How to Communicate
Conflict is common in any relationship. Feelings are tender and communication can be a true hurdle. I will show you that communication does not need to be confrontation. I will act as a translator to help you express yourselves to each other in the most positive, effective way possible. I will give you tools and ideas to help you create the best connection possible.
LIFE COACHING SESSION
Move Forward by Discovering Who You Truly Are
While life can be exciting, we cannot control everything that happens to us. What we can control is how we accept and react to the challenges we face. I will help you realize the power you possess to move through whatever may come your way. I will give you tools that apply to any obstacles we experience in life.

TESTIMONIALS
As a life coach, I thrive on helping others through difficult phases in life, helping them mend or strengthen their relationships with others, and helping them realize their potential and self-worth. Read these testimonials below to get a better idea of what you might expect with my services. It is important to me that my clients feel they can trust me, therefore, all names have been withheld for privacy purposes.
"I had the opportunity to have Bethany coach me through an extremely difficult time in my life and help me navigate difficult relationships. Bethany has a gift for keeping an open mind and placing herself in others' shoes. She guided me through exercises that helped me feel empowered and capable of dealing with extremely hard situations. She is also a very kind and down-to-earth person who can make you laugh even on your hardest days. I wouldn't be in the positive place I am now in life without Bethany and her gift for helping others."
"Bethany has always been a great sounding board for when I need to talk something out. She has a great way of seeing the situation from as many angles as possible. She remains level-headed and calm when I am in a high stress situation and is able to calm me down to make sure the actions I took were rational and not only emotional. I value being able to see the situation from a different point of view as sometimes my point of view is not always correct. Bethany's life experiences are helpful as well. She is well rounded and thoughtful. I am thankful to have had her in my corner."
"I have been able to have Bethany help coach me through some difficult family relationships and help me understand those I have had problems with. She has been able to show me another point of view and explain to me how others may process things. With Bethany's help I have been able to be more confident with myself and be a little more patient with others through understanding what they may be thinking. If it wasn't for her and her help, I wouldn't be where I am today with my family. She is such a fun, loving person and does her best to relate with you so you don't feel so alone."
"Bethany Comerford is a great life coach. She helped me see potential in myself at a time when I felt like a hopeless case. She is encouraging and genuinely cares. I love that she can bring aspects of faith into her coaching. This has helped me move forward in a much deeper capacity. My life would not be moving in the direction it is at this time without her!
I have also had the opportunity to hear Bethany speak and she is a great speaker and teacher as well. She is easy to listen to and gives lots of great tips on how to improve and be a better person, especially spiritually. She has a way of creating a visual scene that is not easily forgotten and stays with you. I really cannot say enough good things about Bethany!"
"Hallelujah to the fact that there are people out there who can see relationship situations different ways and can present choices for those of us who can only see things one way. Bethany is one of those people. She has helped me feel what those around me may be feeling so I can see things in a different light and pick better solutions in dealing with others. She always listens to what I have to say about a situation and then helps me see a few solutions that I may want to try. I appreciate her honesty about my own shortcomings and helping me to be a better person."
"Bethany has helped my husband and I with a serious problem we were having. She listened and coached us through to a successful resolution. She helped us see things from each other's point of view, which is not easy to do. Even though she may not have been through situations that are the exact same as yours, she definitely has communication skills and perspective to put things back in order with each other and with our faith."
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between coaching and therapy/counseling?
Each serves their purpose, but simply put, therapy/counseling is focused on the past. It focuses on removing mental, psychological and emotional road blocks, resolving problems created in the past as preparation for moving forward. Coaching is focused on the future. We will focus on where you are now and how to help you move forward in the direction of your goals. The word "coach" back in the the 1500's referred to a vehicle, a stagecoach, that moved people from where they were to where they wanted to be. A life coach is very much the same--helping transport individuals and couples to a better place where they can find true inner peace and happiness.
Do you only coach clients in Arizona?
No. Thanks to technology, I am able to connect with anyone via Facetime or good ol' fashioned telephone calls.
Why do I need a life coach?
There are many different reasons people seek the help of a life coach. Are you fulfilled in every area of your life (money, family, job, spiritual, education)? Is there that lingering goal you can't stop thinking about, but haven't accomplished yet? Do you feel you could be a better parent or spouse? Do you constantly compare your self to those around you and somehow always come up short? Have you lost that spiritual connection that gives your life purpose and meaning? Are you out of ideas for how to communicate positively and effectively with a loved one (spouse or child)? If any of these hit a little too close to home, I can and would love to help you!
How can you relate to me and my issues?
Although I have been very blessed, I have had my share of trials! Specifically, my husband and I endured four long years of infertility, then another year and a half of secondary infertility. I have experienced the trial of raising a child with special needs as our beautiful second daughter was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder. Besides these specific situations, I have experienced many phases of depression, self-doubt, self-esteem issues, loneliness, and confusion when things or events didn't happen when I expected them to. Although our exact trials may be different, many of the emotions are the same. I am confident I will be able to empathize with your situation and help you either move yourself out of it or find peace (and humor!) while enduring it.
