Phoebe Schumacher
After 20 successful years in real estate property management and sale, I’ve embarked on a new journey of reinvention, driven by a deep desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. As a cancer survivor, I have learned first-hand the importance of resilience, tenacity, and empathy, qualities that now shape my approach to mental health counseling, coaching, and beyond. I am an honor student at Capella in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree program; my Bachelor's is in Criminal Justice Human Services. I bring a wealth of life experience, not just from my professional background but from the trials and triumphs that have defined my personal journey. My ability to connect with others, especially those who have faced trauma, is rooted in my own understanding of adversity and healing. I believe in creating a peaceful, harmonious world—one person, one story, one healing moment at a time. As I continue to grow in this new field, I am fueled by my passion for helping others find their path to peace, balance, and self-discovery. My work as a coach, student, and mental health advocate is deeply connected to my core values of empathy, authenticity, and holistic well-being. I’m excited to apply my skills and heart-centered approach to roles where I can support and uplift those on their healing journey.
