Hi!  My name is Kathleen Nelson Troyer and I’m glad you are here!  I am a consultant, coach and trainer. Gently Moving Forward serves as home base for personal one-on-one work with clients, group coaching and training programs, and our fabulous retreats.

I started my career working in the corporate world and still spend a good chunk of my time at Jigsaw Solutions, Inc, where I partner with leaders to build, develop, and maintain exceptional teams. My clients are people who are ready to make changes in their lives. They may want to make a career change. They may want more love, meaning, or peace in their lives.  They may be feeling stuck. They either don’t know what their next step is or they are afraid to take it. We work together to connect them with their inner wisdom, the part of them that knows what they want and how to get there. From that aligned place they map out their path and move forward. One step at a time.  It is an honor to walk alongside them.

Life happens and how we respond to it is everything. I am a big fan of carving out time daily for practices that support well being like meditate, yoga, and being in nature. I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach. It’s about finding out what works for each of us. Forgiveness, love and gratitude are all powerful tools that can help you to gently move forward.  These tools have transformed my life. They can transform yours too.

I’m a lifelong learner with numerous certifications and accreditations. Learn more here.  Reach out and connect with me for a complimentary 30-minute discovery/strategy call. You can pick my brain for ideas, ask questions, and get a sense of how it would be to work with me. If we are a fit we will know it. There is nothing I love more than working with people who know that they have a purpose here and are committed to having a positive impact on their world.

I enjoy writing, especially as a healing and transformational tool.  I am one of the contributing authors in the following books: Empowered Voices: True Stories by Awakened Women , Harmonic Voices: True Stories by Women on the Path to Peace and Feminine Voices: True Stories by Women Transforming Leadership.  I was honored to write the blessing for Tender Voices: True Stories by Women on a Journey of Love .

My latest book, 8 Sparks to Ignite your Inner Wisdom, is available exclusively on this website for my newsletter subscribers. Sign up here to get your free copy before it is available to buy on Amazon.

I live in a seaside cottage with a magical garden about 25 miles south of San Francisco along the San Mateo coastline near Half Moon Bay, California with my fabulous husband John, and our two cats   I love to travel. Spending time in the water near dolphins and whales one of my favorite things to do.

Feel free to contact me or schedule a complimentary 30 minute discovery session.

Warmly,
