About Claudia Cantrell
I grew up in North Carolina and accepted Christ at age nine. After graduating from Duke University, I practiced as a Physician Assistant for over 30 years in the medical areas of emergency/trauma, cardiology, electrophysiology, and orthopedic surgery. In addition, I worked in the medical device industry for a Fortune 500 company where I held a leadership role in both the United States and Europe.
After working in the medical field, I experienced increasing discontent and believed God had to have more for me. I struggled with crucial questions such as “What’s my purpose?”, “What matters?”, “What’s missing?” and many more. These questions led me to the Halftime Institute where I realized my unique identity in Christ, my deepest passion, and my purpose. Subsequently, I trained at the Professional Christian Coaching Institute and founded Cantrell Christian Coaching.
In addition to being a coach, I am a Christian conference speaker with The Robinson Agency and the author of Sacred Love; A Journey of Singleness, Belonging, and Finding True Love. In the book, I am both transparent and raw about my mistakes, doubts, fears, and shame as well as sharing with readers the sudden and traumatic event that led me to my crisis of faith.
My career experiences both inside and outside the corporate world allow me to have a rich and varied perspective when coaching clients. I enjoy coaching clients one-on-one and in group settings. My personal mission statement is “to help others know the only truth which is based solely on the Bible, learn how to hear God clearly, and grow in their intimacy with Christ."
We are all born with a God-given passion and purpose but most of us never attempt to uncover it. Haven't you wondered why are you here at this time? God gave all of us a special passion, but what is yours and how are you supposed to use it to accomplish your purpose?
Today, I am a Certified Professional Coach and I have my ACC credential from the International Coach Federation.
My husband and I live in the suburbs of Atlanta with our two King Charles Cavaliers. I enjoy traveling, snorkeling, walking, baking, and interior design.
