Petronya Saurman, BA, PCC-ICF

Coaching for Impact. Influence. Potential.

Helping others heal, grow, and thrive is what lights me up. I work with adults and teens who feel stuck in overthinking, anxiety, people-pleasing, or unhealthy relationship patterns—and help them step into who God created them to be.

As a certified professional coach (ICF, PCC), I guide you to renew your mind, regulate your nervous system, and shift the beliefs that have been running the show—so you can hear God clearly, show up confidently, and feel at peace in your relationships.

Through my RESET Framework, we reset your nervous system, rewire limiting beliefs, and rebuild clarity, confidence, and healthy boundaries—so your growth actually lasts.

I coach professionals in Fortune 500 companies, help individuals transform their relationships, and mentor coaches pursuing their ICF credentials to step boldly into their calling.
