Hi, I'm Kayla
MY PASSION IS BUILDING STRONG MARRIAGES FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

I coach married Jewish women to create a foundation of love, confidence, and connection. I’d love to get to know you. Here’s a little bit about me...
I’m honored to get to do this work in many ways, with one-on-one clients, private group coaching, my online course for newlyweds, and my podcast How to Glow..
Having worked with groups in mentoring and educational settings since 2007 and receiving certification in Life Coaching from The Refuah Institute in 2014, I have been working one-on-one and in small groups with women of a variety of ages. In 2016 I attended an advanced skills workshop with Brooke Castillo of the Life Coach School, then certified as a Life Coach School coach in 2020, which serves as the basis of my coaching today.
As a marriage coach, I am strongly influenced by the work of Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz, Rav Aharon Feldman, Bev Aron, Alison Armstrong, Dr. Pat Love, Dr. Leonard Sax, Dr. Louann Brizendine, and Esther Perel.
In today’s world where we focus so much attention on the engagement and wedding and very little resources are available for achieving success in marriage, I am especially inspired by my clients who are determined to find better solutions and deeper understandings to help them have a connected and inspirational marriage.
WHAT I DO WITH MY CLIENTS…
My original focus was specifically on women whose parents were divorced. I was seeing strong feelings of anxiety and concern from these women and sought to give them a program that would show them that marriage is “figure-out-able.” It’s not a scary hit-or-miss and your parents’ marriage does not need to be a determining factor of your own marriage’s health.
When several women approached me with very similar feelings despite not “fitting in” to the divorced-parent niche, I expended my focus to all newly married Jewish women. Since then, the First Year Married course has gone through several different versions and iterations--live, asynchronous, large, small, and everything in between! I'm always looking to improve it and make the material easier to internalize and use.
To date I have coached hundreds of women from 1:1 to groups and classes, I have begun to hear even more from married women and have gained additional insights into the first years of marriage–and many years beyond.
I now work with married Jewish women in my group coaching program, How to Glow, and continue to work with newlyweds privately and through the First Year Married course.
