Breathing Purpose
Certified Purpose Coaching

Helping you discover
your Purpose is my life Purpose.

Rin Van Ryckeghem
Owner, Certified Coach
M.A., M.S.
Hello! I'm Rin. I help dreamers like you discover their purpose through a proven coaching method that focuses on your strengths, passions, and personality preferences. When you are living in your Purpose, you will be freer, and more confident in achieving your goals. You'll have a plan for helping others, but also for taking care of yourself.
Every client I work with has unique goals, challenges, and purpose. I customize my coaching program to each person I work with to ensure they get the most out of their purpose journey.
From exhausted, frustrated, and unsure to purpose-filled, rested, and free.
I’ve always wanted to help people, but often followed whims, instead of taking the time to build a life that fit who I am and what I need. Here's just a bit of that process:
-
I wanted to be an orca trainer for the longest time.
-
In college I started out studying English, then Elementary Education.
-
Someone told me that the way that I speak to others is unlike any he's ever heard. He tasked me with training hundreds of people and I loved it.
-
I finally ended up graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Interpersonal Communications and Spanish in 2015.
-
I earned two Master's degrees, and a number of certificates, changing career paths several more times.
-
Then began a two-year journey of feeling lost and frustrated as I tried to figure out how I wanted to use my skills and experiences to help people.
-
This was also the time that I struggled with my role as a new parent, increasing my struggle for identity and purpose.
-
After trial and error, deep self-exploration, and help from my community, I discovered what gives me purpose and inspires me every day.
My Purpose is to help passionate dreamers like you discover and pursue their purpose! You can be a great person who works really hard, cares for others, and still be your authentic self.
Now I am in control of my life, filling it with things that align with who I am and what I'm meant to do. I've learned to dream in a way that fits my values and my needs, and I want the same for you!
They said that coaching just helps you get where you want to be way faster. Don't take the long route like I did. Start your journey today and let me help you get where you want to be within just a few months!
I can tell you from experience that it's never a waste of time, and it's never too late to discover your purpose. Are you ready to discover yours?
Freedom
My goal is for every client to gain self-awareness, which leads to confidence, control, and fulfillment.
I value the journey of pursuing your purpose, so my coaching is a no judgement zone. It doesn't matter where you come from or how far you think you need to go.
I’ll be there every step of the way with encouragement and perspective.
I’ve been where you are right now.
I know how it feels to be alone, unvalued, and like all your work is not making a difference , but I also know you have so much untapped potential and you can achieve your purpose and fulfillment. I know what it feels like to give everything to others, and have nothing left for yourself at the end of the day, so your dreams are put on hold.
We’ll take this journey together one day at a time.
I can't wait to hear your unique story and challenges, and I look forward to helping you discover the life you've been waiting for.
Fun Facts about Rin
When I’m not helping people discover their purpose, I’m chasing my kids and teaching them important things, or doing the dishes- always doing the dishes! Any free time that I do have is spent with a good book, writing my own books, or painting in my studio.
I've learned to keep healthy boundaries so that I can take the time that I need for myself. This is crucial for compassionate helpers! If all you do is give and give, you will become burned out, bitter, and angry. You have to take care of yourself too.
I love this part of the journey with my clients, so they too can discover how to prioritize their time and fill it with the things that matter.
