We are Marybeth Steigenga, Ph.D., and Terry Smith, M.Ed.—chaplains, trauma-informed life coaches, and purpose-driven women who’ve spent decades walking with others through life’s biggest transitions.

With over 40 years of combined experience in spiritual care, counseling, nonprofit leadership, and coaching, we’ve helped countless women navigate seasons of grief, identity shifts, reinvention, caregiving, and everything in between.

But we’re not just professionals—we’re women who’ve lived these pivots ourselves.

From motherhood, marriage, and ministry to starting over (more than once), we understand how overwhelming life changes can feel. That’s why we created Pivot Point Coaching—to offer a faith-based, brain-smart, and hope-filled roadmap for Christian women ready to move forward with peace, clarity, and purpose.

Whether you’re standing at a crossroads or knee-deep in a detour, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

We’re here to walk with you, laugh with you, cry with you, and remind you that even in the mess—God’s still at work.
