The Heart Behind Ever Rising
Because you don’t have to rise alone.
Who I Am
Hi, I’m Kayla, the founder of Ever Rising Coaching and I’m so glad you’re here!
For a long time, I thought confidence was what I needed before I could take the next step, in work, in love, in life. But I’ve learned that confidence isn’t what starts the journey; courage is. It’s courage that gets you to take the first shaky step, even when your voice trembles or your heart races. Confidence comes later - it’s built in the doing, in the showing up, in the moments when you prove to yourself that you can.
That belief didn’t come from textbooks. It came from living through the messy middle - the heartbreaks, the losses, the times I tried to hold everything together while quietly falling apart inside. Life has a way of bringing you to your knees before it shows you who you are. And somewhere in those quiet, uncertain moments, I started to realize that falling apart isn’t failure, it’s the beginning of rebuilding with truth.
My background is a mix of structure and soul. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Associate degree in English, spent years working as a Registered Behavior Technician supporting children on the autism spectrum, and later stepped into the world of franchise consulting and operations, helping entrepreneurs bring their visions to life.
Through every role, one thing stayed the same, my fascination with what drives people, and how courage shows up differently for each of us. That same curiosity led me to begin my training with the Thriving Coach Academy, where I’m working toward my ICF certification. My coaching style blends psychology-backed tools with intuitive awareness, not the kind you have to “believe” in, but the quiet knowing that guides you when logic alone can’t.
Beyond titles and training, my greatest teachers have been love and family. I married my high school sweetheart, Zac, and together we share life with our Bernedoodle, Chewbacca (or Chewie, for short). Family means everything to me. They’ve seen me through every version of myself, and they remind me daily that growth doesn’t always look graceful, sometimes it looks like trying again, choosing kindness, or laughing when plans fall apart.
Ever Rising was born from all of it, the lessons, the losses, the love, the courage to begin again. My hope is that this space reminds you that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start changing your life. You just have to be willing to begin, even if your hands shake when you do.
What Ever Rising is All About
Mission
My mission is to help women reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and set healthy boundaries so they can move beyond self-doubt and step into lives that feel aligned, grounded, and free.
Vision
I envision a world where women trust themselves, honor their boundaries, and live with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Values
Honesty
Growth doesn’t start with pretending; it starts with truth. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when it’s messy.
Boundaries
Boundaries are a form of self-respect. You’re allowed to protect your peace, your energy, and your truth, without apology.
Self-Responsibility
Healing isn’t about blame, it’s about choice. While not everything can be controlled, you have the power choose how you respond, rise, and reclaim your voice.
Compassion
You don’t have to fight your way back, but you do deserve to be met with care. This work honors the messy middle: the part where you’re healing, growing, and still finding your way. Compassion isn’t weakness, it’s how you stay steady as you rise.
Depth Over Surface
True confidence doesn’t come from looking like you have it all together. It’s built beneath the surface, in the moments you choose honesty over illusion and growth over perfection.
Trust
Real transformation needs a foundation of trust: in yourself, in the process, and in the space you step into. This is where you’re met without judgment, without pressure, where we walk through the fire side by side, not because it’s easy, but because you don’t have to do it alone.
Growth
Growth isn’t about rushing to the finish line, it’s about honoring the steps, stumbles, and pauses along the way. It’s the quiet shifts that build into lasting change, and the choice to keep going, even when the next step feels uncertain.

FAQs
What services do you offer?

Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.
What kinds of clients do you typically work with?
I work with individuals who are ready to grow - people who feel stuck, lost, or disconnected from themselves and want to reconnect with clarity, confidence, and purpose. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be open to doing the inner work that leads to real change.
How do I get started?
It begins with a complimentary consultation - a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we talk about what’s been on your mind, and what you’re hoping to shift. It’s a chance to connect, get clarity, and start exploring what growth could look like for you.
What happens during coaching sessions?
Each session focuses on what’s most relevant for you. We’ll explore patterns, clarify your goals, and build the tools you need to navigate challenges and create meaningful change. My approach blends reflection, strategy, and accountability - always tailored to your pace.
Are there topics you don’t coach on?
Yes. I don’t coach on topics such as depression, addiction, trauma, or abuse, as those are best supported by a licensed mental health professional. Coaching is designed for individuals who are ready to create forward-focused change, not to process or treat mental health conditions. If you’re currently navigating any of those experiences, I encourage you to connect with a qualified therapist or counselor who can provide the care and resources you need.
How often do sessions take place?
Clients meet with me once a week to keep consistent momentum, though we can adjust based on your goals and schedule. Consistency creates lasting transformation, and we’ll design a rhythm that works best for you.
How long is each session?
You can choose from 25, 45, or 60-minute coaching sessions, depending on your needs and schedule. Some clients prefer shorter sessions for quick clarity and focus, while others choose longer sessions for deeper exploration. We’ll decide together what feels right for your journey.
Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?
Yes! Most sessions are held virtually so you can connect from anywhere. If you’re located near Dayton, Ohio, I also offer in-person sessions for those who prefer a face-to-face connection.
Is coaching confidential?
Absolutely. Everything we discuss during sessions is completely private. Coaching is a safe space to process your thoughts, emotions, and goals without fear of judgment.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. I believe growth should be accessible, so flexible payment options are available depending on your coaching package. We’ll discuss what works best for you during your consultation.
What’s your cancellation policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for rescheduling sessions. Missed or late-cancelled sessions may be charged depending on your program or package. I understand that life happens, so communication is always key.
What will I walk away with after coaching?
You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and practical tools to support your growth long after coaching ends. You’ll also notice a deeper sense of self - the version of you that’s no longer surviving, but rising.
Growth begins the second you choose courage over comfort.
