For over three decades, Billie Frances has offered a compassionate approach to the power of learning through self-awareness. From the time she was a kid, Billie knew she wanted to be a teacher. Over the years, she taught master’s level university classes, workshops, webinars, and seminars on topics ranging from behavioral health to laughter yoga. In 2000, Billie felt a familiar tug to teach - this time, to teach the unique coaching method that had swirled together from her own studies and experience as a coach, therapist, and spiritual counselor. The Mindful Health & Wellness Coach Certification, NBC-HWC Exam Prep Course and continuing education courses were born out of that calling. The Mindful Health & Wellness Coach Certification program was readily approved in 2017 as an NBHWC training provider. Billie’s joy is knowing these programs offered through Guiding Mindful Change have impacted the passion of hundreds of heart-centered coaches who in turn help people connect with who they’re here to be.

In 2023, Billie proudly published Awareness Is Enough: Reflections on Being a Coach. Her book invites coaches to pause, reflect and go deep to discover fresh meaning and purpose in their work and lives. Billie holds a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and is a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), Board Certified Coach, and Certified Wellness Practitioner. Based in San Diego, California, Billie is a dedicated family member, an avid baseball fan, and an active Toastmaster.
