OUR HISTORY
In 2004, Marsha Crownover—a seasoned counselor who knew firsthand how grueling mission-driven work can be—discovered the power of life and executive coaching. She saw that pastors, nonprofit leaders, and frontline staff needed dedicated support more than anyone, yet standard professional coaching was far too expensive for most mission-driven budgets.
To bridge this gap, Marsha founded Coach Approach, Inc, creating a path for nonprofit and ministry staff to access high-caliber coaching and care at a price their organizations could afford.

TESTIMONIALS
"The Day 7 stipend has been huge for my family. As a 4 person family with only a teacher and non-profit salary, our budget is tight. With the stipend covering my monthly gym membership, my family's monthly expenses have gone down without my physical fitness suffering and without having any personal guilt about having a membership at all. Physical fitness is the main way that I manage stress as well as an hour that I allow myself to mentally take a break from anything else going on, so it keeps me both physically and mentally healthier."
Self-Care Plan Participant
"Day 7 has transformed how I as a leader am able to care for my staff. Nonprofits are notorious for burnout, lack of boundaries and high turnover. I have always vowed not to let this happen to me or my team and Day 7's strategic method of encouraging our staff to take care of themselves has helped us not only provide options but more had helped us create a culture of self care."
