Martish S. James
Founder of Compelling Vision, LLC
Martish is a certified life coach with over 20 years of experience helping people find their way. Specializing in personal growth and mindset coaching, she has applied her expertise across diverse roles, including six years in crisis intervention and recovery.
As a survivor of numerous challenges - including the foster care system, family and domestic violence, single parenting, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and toxic relationships - Martish brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to her work. She is trauma-informed, suicide prevention trained, and has experience as an addiction recovery coach and mental health caregiver. Martish has also co-authored the book, W.O.M.B Sister Chronicles, sharing some of her domestic violence story.
Drawing on her personal experience overcoming feelings of being "stuck," Martish recognized that people sometimes need a compassionate listener, not just someone to provide answers. Inspired by this insight, Martish established Compelling Vision LLC to provide a non-judgmental space for those seeking positive change.
Now, Compelling Vision strives to be the supportive, understanding resource Martish wished she had during her own struggles. Whether an individual needs an empathetic ear or a fresh perspective, Compelling Vision is there to guide them as they take the next step forward.
