Hello, I am Janet Phipps

Founder of NorthStar Mindset Coaching & Holistic Leadership Coach

My passion for personal growth and human behavior began early, rooted in a deep love for psychology and shaped by my own journey through leadership, reinvention, and resilience.

Today, I am an ICF-ACC certified coach, Certified Mindset Coach, and Presence-Based® Coaching Core Practitioner. I support conscious leaders and professionals who are ready to lead from within by reconnecting with emotional clarity, presence, and purpose.

My approach blends mindset transformation with somatics, Presence-Based Coaching, Time Line Therapy®, guided hypnosis, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Together, we work at the level of beliefs, emotions, thoughts, values, and behaviors, transforming how you lead, live, and relate.

With an MBA in Entrepreneurship from Walden University and more than 20 years of experience in strategic planning, program leadership, and organizational change, I understand the demands of high-stakes environments. I am a Prosci® Certified Change Practitioner and an authorized partner of Everything DiSC® and The Five Behaviors®, which I use to support team development, communication, and sustainable culture change.

Clients describe my coaching style as grounded, compassionate, and transformative. Whether you are facing burnout, emotional fatigue, or a deep internal shift, I help you release what no longer serves you so that you can lead with clarity, resilience, and alignment in both work and life.

“This feels different.”

That is something I hear often and I take it as the highest compliment.

Clients tell me they feel seen, not judged. That they can be real here. That coaching with me is not about performing, fixing, or pretending, it is about reconnecting to who you are and what you truly need.

If you are still wondering whether this is right for you, I understand. Taking the first step can feel uncertain. But if you are craving clarity, relief, or simply space to breathe again. This might be your moment.

You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin.
