About Petronya

Petronya, lifecoach and christian lifestyle coach

Petronya Saurman, BA, PCC-ICF

Coaching for Impact. Influence. Potential.

Helping others heal, grow, and thrive is what truly lights me up. As a certified professional coach (ICF, PCC), I guide adults and teens to break free from negative thought cycles, release past hurts, and step boldly into their God-given potential. My mission is simple: to help you get unstuck, reach your goals, and walk in lasting confidence rooted in Christ.

Through my unique RENEW Framework™ I help you reset your nervous system, shift limiting beliefs, and restore clarity, energy, and purpose. This holistic approach combines mindset, emotional healing, and practical strategies so your transformation is real, lasting, and life-changing.

I create a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can show up fully. There’s nothing I love more than witnessing those “aha” moments—when clients recognize their own strength, embrace their true identity, and trust God with their journey.

Currently, I coach employees at Fortune 500 companies to excel professionally while improving well-being, and I mentor coaches pursuing their ICF credentials to step confidently into their calling.
