Meet the IAFEC Founder/Trainer
Dr. Shauntel Peak-Jimenez, Ph.D.

"As a Certified Life Coach, Master Certified Coach, Certified Mentor Coach, Certified Coach Trainer (all completed through the coach training school I attended), a Board-Certified Success Coach, and as someone holding a certification in financial management. I bring many skills to the IAFEC, and my diverse background has prepared me for this blessed opportunity. I am also blessed to be an international coach trainer, an accomplishment that still blows my mind!

I have been providing coaching services since 2004, and I have owned and operated a coach training and certification company since 2009. I complete an ICF approved coach training program.

I felt inspired to launch the IAFEC. It is built on the foundation of faith, integrity, and serving others. The IAFEC is the result of years of hard work, faith, and the dedication to make a difference! To say, "I feel blessed" to have launched the IAFEC is an understatement. Making a difference is my passion, and to serve on this level is beyond anything my mind could have comprehended.

In March 2009 I unexpectedly lost my job as corporate nurse, and I lost all my income. There was no notice and no severance package. I was blindsided emotionally and financially. I took a leap of faith May 2009 and opened The Character and Self-Esteem (CASE) Institute. It is a life coach training and certification institute that is still going strong! September 2009 I was interviewed by my local newspaper, and in 2010 I won the coach of the year award from my coach training school. It was an amazing honor! When that happened, I knew I was on the right purposeful path.

But, my story didn't start there. I was once a single mother of 5 living on government assistance. I broke through barriers personally, professionally, academically, and financially. Even when my own caseworker didn't want to help me thrive, I REFUSED to give up. I knew that one day God would use me the be a voice for financial transformation. I am humbled, honored, and excited. My goal is to let God's divine love and light shine in all that I do!

I am dedicated to doing ALL that I can do to help people live the life they deserve and desire to live! I was blessed to go from financial tragedy to financial triumph, and I am dedicated to empowering others to do the same. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, and in the world! 

I believe in you and I am here to support you in fulfilling your calling as a financial coach, and achieving your goal of certification, so that together we can empower others to achieve the financial success they dream of achieving, and impact the lives of others and the world! Let's do this!"
