 \nJJ Rett\nJJ received her coaching certification in 2024 from the New Yor
 k City-based organization\, Upbuild. She discovered the effectiveness and 
 magic of coaching through a workshop in 2023 and knew intuitively that coa
 ching was the modality she would use to serve others\, especially those co
 nnected to adoption. Coaching can be a wonderful tool to use for goal sett
 ing or acquiring new ways of approaching obstacles\, and it can also help 
 us discover who we are without being restricted by the limiting beliefs of
  who we think we should be.\n\nShe deeply values Authenticity\, Connection
 \, Truth\, Belonging\, and JOY. She will create a safe space for each clie
 nt to explore their habits\, understand their identity\, and become aware 
 of their own unique power. Her practice is deeply rooted in compassion for
  all and the belief that each client is capable of achieving what they dar
 e to envision for themselves.\n\nJJ has been a member of Adoption Network 
 Cleveland since 2015 when we ROARed! She is a late discovery adoptee\, bor
 n and raised in Dayton\, Ohio\, and gives credit for much of her healing j
 ourney to Betsie Norris and the incredible staff at ANC. From the opening 
 of Ohio’s closed records\, then working with an ANC-recommended\, adoption
 -informed therapist\, to attending ANC support groups and writing articles
  that began as therapeutic journaling\, ANC has been with JJ every step of
  the way. She has been in reunion with both sides of her biological family
  since 2015 and 2016. Now that she is a Certified Coach\, she is filled wi
 th gratitude to share her passion with other members of the adoption const
 ellation as they navigate their own journeys forward. In 2023\, JJ\, her h
 usband\, and their three children returned to her hometown of Dayton\, OH 
 be closer to both her adoptive and biological families.\n\nWhitney Dawn Py
 les\nWhitney Dawn Pyles is the founder\, lead artist\, and creator behind 
 “The Zone of Authenticity”\, a participatory art installation and deck of 
 Authentic Connection Cards created to meet an essential need for honest\, 
 empathetic\, compassionate connection with and between ourselves and one a
 nother. She is a Certified Somatic Coach\, Dance/Movement Facilitator and 
 accredited Life Coach (ICF-ACC) who specializes in Body-Oriented Coaching 
 — a gentle\, evidence-informed approach that integrates mind-body awarenes
 s and nervous system support into the coaching process. Her work supports 
 clients in cultivating the calm\, clarity\, and courage to come home to th
 emselves\, creating space to imagine new possibilities and welcome more jo
 y\, expression\, and aliveness into their lives and work.\n\nWhat first dr
 ew Whitney to life coaching in 2021\, and what deeply resonated with her a
 s an adoptee\, is a core belief shared across both coaching and humanistic
  psychology: that all people are creative\, resourceful\, and whole and th
 at\, when met with compassion\, curiosity\, and presence\, we naturally mo
 ve toward growth and healing. This belief remains central to Whitney’s wor
 k and the space she holds. Through this lens\, coaching is not about fixin
 g what is “wrong\,” but about uncovering what is already wise\, whole\, an
 d wanting to emerge.\n\nWhitney brings nearly a decade of experience in co
 aching\, teaching\, facilitation\, and creative leadership. In 2022 she gr
 aduated from The Somatic School\, where she also served as a facilitator a
 nd podcast host supporting the next generation of Body-Oriented Coaches. S

  Adoption Network Cleveland in offering coaching that supports self-compas
 sion\, authentic expression\, and a deeper sense of belonging for anyone s
 eeking greater alignment in life.
