Hi! I’m Alethea, and I’m glad you’ve found me.
I believe we cross paths with people at the right times in our lives, just when we need that extra boost to get us from our current level of existence to a future we’ve been dreaming of, and yet feels just outside of our grasp.
I’ve lived a rich life filled with ups and downs and everything in between. I have great compassion for humanity, and becoming a coach was the very best thing I have done. I am able to give back to this world in a deep and meaningful way. For this reason, I wanted to share with you a little of my background, in the hopes that you will feel that less bit alone, and know that I understand you, I see you, and I am committed to helping you evolve into the very best version of yourself, if you are ready for that.
Here's a bit more about my journey...
I grew up in London, England, and am the only child of a British father and American mother. I loved England, but I love the States more (sorry UK!). When I was 26, I packed up my belongings in two suitcases, and moved to San Francisco, California, to start a new life. I had no idea where I was going to stay or what I was going to do for work, but within two weeks I had found a great place to live and secured work in the Financial District.
Four years later, I ended up in Los Angeles after a relationship went bad, and started my life over again. After six years as an event planner, I knew I was ready for something new, and decided to follow my passion for fitness and become certified as a personal trainer.
I worked for some time at two gym locations, but soon knew that I wanted to follow more of the entrepreneurial path. It was at this time that I enrolled in Marie Forleo’s B-School, a fun and high-level business course for entrepreneurs. This gave me the groundwork for starting my own business.
I loved working with my own clients on health and fitness goals, and with time I began to see that as humans, we are not divided up into separate parts. We are whole beings, and everything from the food we eat, to the relationships we’re in, to the creative endeavors we pursue, to our overall mindset, influence our health and wellbeing. My coaching therefore naturally evolved into helping my health and fitness
clients with other areas of their lives too.
My Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology, along with my own rich life experiences makes me equipped to assist clients in a multitude of areas- addressing both the client’s inner life and outer life. I love seeing who I will cross paths with next, and which areas of your life you are ready to take to the next level.
I am truly committed to helping you be the very best version of yourself. If I can free myself from debilitating addictions, pull myself out of anxiety and depression, and leave a 6-year relationship at the age of 43 to start anew yet again, I believe that you too can reinvent yourself at ANY time you choose to. Is that time now? If so, let’s talk.
What are my qualifications and credentials?
I have spent thousands of dollars on the very best courses around, so that I can be the very best coach for you. I currently invest in and work with a coach myself, and this will always be so, as I truly believe that having a coach in your corner- someone who sees your potential and doesn’t give up on you- is worth more than gold.
I also hold a Master’s in Spiritual Psychology, Master’s in Music, Health Coach and Fitness Trainer ACE Certifications, Certificate in Slow-Motion Strength Training, and won
first place in my very first bodybuilding competition at age 40.
I am an ordained minister, I taught volunteer English to Tibetan nuns in Dharmsala, India when I was 18, I overcame severe panic attacks and depression when I was 19, and I’ve worked through addictions that had me in their grasp for decades- primarily smoking and binge eating.
These are just a few of my life experiences and professional qualifications.
When you hire me as your coach, you are paying for a whole lot more than the time of our coaching sessions. I bring my entire self to you, and will stay committed to you throughout the duration of our coaching package.

"Your journey has molded you for your greater good. And it was exactly what it needed to be. Don’t think that you’ve lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time.”

I’m glad you have found me NOW.
If you are ready to have a deep and meaningful conversation about:
~What life could look like for you.
~A dream you are ready to bring out into the world.
~Are ready to let go of limiting habits or self-defeating behaviors that have held you back for long enough.
~Anything else that is beautifully unique to you and your life situation.
Then let’s talk.
This initial conversation is complimentary; it is my gift to you. We may find that you are complete and have what you need after just one conversation, or we may decide to take it further and discuss what working together could potentially look like.
Either way, it could just be the very best conversation you ever have.
Testimonials

~Jay Gardner, Founder of Torn Pages
"Alethea is an excellent life coach. One thing I can say regarding my experiences in Alethea’s life coaching sessions for at least several years now, is that not once have I ever felt like it was a waste of time. After decades of far too much “huff and puff” from self-proclaimed “experts”, I know that I can be pretty cynical when it comes to people who claim to possess the goods and qualifications to help others in their life directions. It has become very hard for me to tell what - or who - is actually real these days. What I have learned over several years thus far is that Alethea actually walks her talk. She has both her own life experience, as well as her personal study in the area of life coaching, to draw from.
Before I had my first official session with Alethea, I got the sense that she had her own personal experience of knowing life, as well as how emotional well-being affects each individual’s unique compass of life. To me, she has paid attention and learned. Alethea is brilliant at giving proper attention to each session. She is focused, and she has always helped me to stay focused in our sessions and to not run away from certain things I might need to really look at and address. I have left each of our sessions encouraged to also improve my physical health as well as to better navigate within my personal and career-related situations and relationships with others. For these reasons, I have begun also directing other people I know towards considering Alethea and Radiant Life as a wonderful option for life coaching."
~Forrest Robinson, Musician
"I worked with Alethea for 3 months and was able to release 16 pounds. What helped me was her custom-tailored nutrition guidance, excellent exercise routines that gave me strength-training at three levels, and cardio on the elliptical machine. Her instructions were clear and informative. Most of all I cherished her positive, uplifting, encouraging attitude. Her support was essential. I am grateful and I looked forward to my weekly coaching sessions. I encourage anyone wanting support to live a healthier, more fit life to work with Alethea."
~Olga A., Personal Assistant
“Prior to working with Alethea, I struggled to stick with a consistent workout, and was one of those people who would start and stop working out, and could never really stick with something long term. Alethea held me accountable to staying consistent with my exercise, and she even created new exercises for me to use when I was traveling and didn’t have access to a gym. This made it so easy for me to continue to stay healthy and fit while traveling (which in the past, was always a challenge for me)! Through coaching with Alethea, I now feel stronger and more in shape than ever before and have more confidence both in and out of the gym!”
