else,” she said.
People may seek to attain healthier re-
lationships through coaching with Eth-
ridge, either as individuals or with their
partners. She offers phone coaching ses-
sions so that she can help anyone from
anywhere in the world, but also is avail-
able right in Richmond for those inter-
ested in face-to-face sessions. Ethridge
is able to work with clients worldwide
because she chose to be a Christian Life
Coach, rather than pursuing licensure
as a professional therapist. This way,
she is not limited to coaching clients in
her state of residency.
In addition to coaching, Ethridge of-
fers speaking presentations. She will
custom-tailor these presentations to
the audience, whether it is for a college
audience, co-ed youth group, women’s
conference, or couples’ conference.
Women seeking deeper, more intensive
coaching and relational breakthrough
may find their place in a “Women at
the Well” workshop. During these 4-day
workshops, 8-10 participants stay on-
site (typically at an AirBnb) and com-
plete a series of group coaching experi-
ences in an environment of healing and
trust. As her website notes, “Because
we’ve most often been wounded in re-
lationship, we also experience the most
healing in relationship.”
There is a similar offering for couples
wishing to pursue coaching together, for
a 4-day intensive workshop titled “Cou-
ples at the Well.” Ethridge said, “We’ll
host 3-4 Women at the Well Workshops
here in Richmond this year, and 2 in
Tyler, Texas.”
There will also be a couples’ workshop
this coming May in Placencia, Belize.
“My husband, Dr. Charlie Myers (pro-
fessor of counseling at EKU) and I are
just a little (okay, a LOT) excited about
hosting that one together on the pristine
beaches of Naia Resort & Spa,” she said.
Ethridge loves interacting with people
through her ministry.
“Working directly with people, either
face to face or over the phone, is what
makes me come alive, so working with
coaching clients, leading workshops, and
speaking publicly about these sensitive
issues are definitely my main priorities,” Shannon Ethridge with therapy dogs
she said.
