Hello, it's nice to meet you!

I’m Carmen Christensen, the founder of Illuminating Coaching, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.


My mission is to help women like you pause, reflect, and gain clarity on what truly aligns with who you are today. It’s about embracing self-love and making empowered choices that honor your growth and next chapter.


If you're feeling uncertain about what's next or craving change but unsure where to start, I’m here to help you move forward with intention. Together, we’ll uncover what's holding you back and take meaningful steps toward the life you deserve.

About Carmen:

With over 20 years of experience in the dental industry, I understand the unique challenges professionals face — from high expectations to the pressure of showing up for others every day. I’ve walked that path too, and now bring that insight into my coaching to support you personally and professionally.


I’m certified through Canada Coach Academy, an institution recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).


My approach is rooted in genuine connection and personalized support. I tailor each session to fit your needs, style, and goals. Together, we’ll uncover your core values, challenge limiting beliefs, and set actionable steps to help you move forward — confidently and intentionally.


Outside of coaching, you’ll usually find me with a latte in hand, enjoying time with my husband Brad, our two teenage sons (when they’re around), and our dog Bauer. I’m all about spontaneous road trips, fresh mountain air, live music, and quality time with close friends and family.


I believe that when we embrace self-love, gain clarity, and align with what truly matters — we create lasting change and begin to shine brighter than ever before. ✨
