Mary Radu
Certified Life Coach and Philanthropy Consultant for Midlife Positive Change
Transforming Uncertainty and Confusion into Choice and Courageous Action
My mission is to support and guide my clients to live meaningfully at this point in their lives and inspire them to be positive change makers.
As a Coach since 2002, I’ve assisted hundreds of individuals and couples to become the “Pathmaker” of their own lives. In addition to life and career coaching, I also focus on philanthropy, guiding my clients to become more effective and fulfilled as they consciously use their time and resources to “give back and make an impact” in the world.
One of the greatest joys in my life is supporting people to discover and share their unique gifts. My vision for myself and my clients is simple: Find what's truly meaningful to you during your brief stay here on earth and make this planet a better place because of your contribution. I believe when we are supported to act from that which we truly value we each have the potential to create amazing positive impacts in our own lives and for the people we touch.
My own life transitions have led me be a “pathmaker” through 28 years in the fields of human services, manufacturing, health care and information technology. I have held training, program development, management and consulting roles. I've developed a successful health care consulting business as well as my current coaching and consulting practice. I've lived the ups and downs of adult life including career and lifestyle changes, divorce, caring for aged parents, and discovering the right opportunities for me to “give back”. This combination of experiences adds to my professional qualifications and gives me the knowledge, skills and compassion to effectively guide my clients to discover their own energizing choices and support them to walk their unique path.
I'm known as a coach who is compassionate and encouraging, collaborative and strategic, intuitive and trustworthy. I help you get clear on what you want in your life and develop a strategic plan to guide your actions. When you forget what's important, I will remind you of your values and hold you to your vision and your goals. When you experience successes, I'll be there to celebrate with you.

Personal Profile
I work from my home in West Sonoma County, CA which I share with my husband, Rich, who grows grapes destined for our own wine. Gardening is one of my passions. I love watching the bulbs break through the ground announcing Spring. And it's such a pleasure to eat my freshly-picked tomatoes, warmed by the sun. Latin dance and NIA classes are my favorite form of exercise. I volunteer in my community as a pro-bono coach to non-profit agency managers, cook a killer chili for the local health clinic's annual fund raiser and completed six years as a CASA child advocate representing children under the protection of the juvenile court. Rich and I also love spending time in the vibrant city of San Francisco and traveling internationally.
