Certified BARE Master Coaches
Mary Vernal
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process as a MASTER BARE Coach?
I’m not a cookie-cutter coach, which is good because there’s only one of you. I help you uncover and embrace your uniqueness and understand your inner wisdom so you can learn to love your body, love yourself and create a life that you love.
Who do you most want to work with?
I work with women who are halfway in, halfway out of their lives. They’re just going through the motions. What they need is not on their to-do list. They may think their marriage is the problem but it’s so much deeper than that.
What message do you have for anyone reading this?
It looks good on the outside, but inside you’re a mess. If only they knew how you talk to yourself! The beautiful house and healthy kids aren’t enough and you feel guilty admitting that. It doesn’t matter how good it looks if you feel like crap. Trust me, there’s something more.
Lin Eleoff
Who do you most want to work with?
I get so excited to work with women over 40/50/60 who want MORE and don't want to feel bad about that, especially when it comes to their bodies and their weight and making money. I especially love to work with women who tend to neglect their bodies WHILE they focus on making money. Let's do both!
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process/bio?
I use the BARE process combined with the self transformation tools I talk about in my book, The Dignity Diet, which is so aligned with Susan's overall message that whatever we do, it simply MUST feel like love.

Tamsyn Hawkins
I am a weight and wellness coach working with women to make peace with their bodies and heal their relationship with food. I am a firm believer that diets, deprivations and detoxes don’t work but embracing yourself with love…. not judgment, does. I know from my own personal weight journey that to change what’s on the outside, going inside and making peace with yourself and your relationship with your own body is the secret sauce. I support women to learn to cultivate more joy in their lives, start loving who they are right now, and take kind and ease-filled action that leads to real, lasting change.
Mary Ann Skaro

The Mom who has started her new business but doesn’t feel comfortable taking videos or talking about herself and her business.

I’m Mary Ann Skaro a Bare Certified coach who helps “Moms be Seen”. How many times have you talked yourself out of an opportunity because it was much easier to hide behind the camera or at home?

It is time to take action, to get in front of the camera and to realize the opportunities that come your way.
Stacey Andon
Who do you most want to work with?
The woman who has checked all the prerequisite boxes of a “successful” life and is still feeling the itch for something more authentic and meaningful-- she is curious about how she can learn to live from her soul's love language instead of the world's because she truly desires to trust and follow her own heart.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I create intuitive coaching containers of safety, love and curiosity where you can feel seen, heard and loved exactly as you are. Permission to be your beautiful BARE self and to fall in love with you, life and all the magic that is here conspiring on your behalf.
Laura Kalister
Who do you most want to work with?
Moms who want to feel better about food and their bodies so they can create a life that truly fills them up!
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I’ve been where you are - feeling embarrassed in my body, hiding because of my weight, seeking comfort in food and trying everything I know to “fix” myself...it’s a vicious cycle, right? I’m living proof there is a way to feel liberated around food and body. I know you can, too.
Wendy Holthaus
I am a Women’s Resiliency Coach which means I serve highly successful women (in most aspects of their lives) who are ready and very hungry, move their lives from a place of surviving to being a thriving-warrior. We do this by identifying what you may be hiding from. The root cause/s of unwanted weight gain and other not-so-fun-problems and sometimes, addictions, stem from trying to fill a void within us. Based on my personal, professional and educational experience, I will create a safe, non-judgmental, sensitive and caring space to learn how to move from fearful to powerful. No matter how far your problem has gone, there are endless tools I can teach you to turn it around. For good. So are you in or are you out?
Stephanie Wohl
As a BARE certified coach, I help women and men learn to love and respect their bodies. I know from my personal struggle that the endless spin cycle of dieting and depriving yourself of the things you love does not work. I believe that by rediscovering yourself through humor, self-acceptance, and patience your relationship with food will change, and you will see yourself as the wonderful person you are. Permanent change will come when acceptance and joy do.
Patti Rantapaa
Who do you most want to work with?
I work with women that are ready to move beyond the yo-yo dieting and body shame that’s made them miserable for years and teach them how to take back their life on their own terms! Ready for unapologetic self-love and confidence? A body you treat exquisitely well? Relationships worth having? Let’s do this!
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
Patti is a Certified Master Life Coach, and has been helping women transform their lives since 2009. She has made it her mission to teach women how to lean into what feels good and ignite pleasure within. No more hiding, no more numbing out and no more shame. Pleasure is the secret sauce to All.The.Things.
Amy English
Who do you most want to work with?
Women who want to step away from the cycle of endless dieting and stop suffering when they look in the mirror or find themselves in the fridge. Women who are ready to explore how to appreciate their body now, change their relationship with food, and find peace with the process.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I am a recovering emotional eater. I ended a 30+ year habit of emotional binge eating and overeating by examining my thoughts, learning how to feel my emotions instead of distract from them, and by changing my relationship with food. I found peace and help other women do the same.
René Washington
I’m a certified Martha Beck Coach who helps women get CLEAR then take ACTION to get the life they want. I added the BARE certification because it’s the answer I was seeking and knew it would be for other women too. Counting calories, feeling guilty about calories, hating my thighs, and hiding my butt. Tired. Of. That!! When I heard Susan Hyatt talk about her method, I wanted to sing HALLELUJAH! Finally, a focus on ENJOYING life while loving yourself to your healthy best...NOT counting your life into deprivation and denial. BARE uncovers, then strips away, the mental/emotional baggage that connects to most weight issues. I used food to feed work stress, grief, financial, and relationship issues. My clients have similar breakthroughs and love the AHA/EXHALE of learning to lead with self-love instead of self-denial. You deserve BARE because you deserve to BE FREE! I’d love to take the journey with you as your coach.
Jen Levin
My coaching practice is centered around helping women discover all the beautiful things about themselves that make them amazing women. Because we all are amazing women, inside and out! Over the years, I have experienced what it’s like to feel unfulfilled and self-conscious about how I look. I have spent years chasing perfect and holding myself to expectations I’d never expect of anyone else. For so long I put others first, doing anything they needed, all while neglecting and falling less in love with myself as each day passed. I know how painful it is to feel this way, and that’s why it’s my mission to help women learn a more joyful, loving, and confident way to live. As a certified BARE coach, I will walk with you through the process of learning to love and appreciate all that your body can do, how to add more joy and pleasure into your life, and how to think thoughts that move you forward instead of hold you back. I will help you end emotional eating and learn to love the body you see in the mirror. I’ll be your biggest cheerleader! Are you ready?

Bonnie Holub
Who do you most want to work with?
Women in their second half of life who want to tweak, make adjustments or totally re-design their lives and life paths. Women who want to up their game, and live with even more spirit, zest and purpose than ever before.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
Being far into the second half of life, I understand feelings that arise for women as they enter these years. As an educator I know how to help people learn and practice new ideas. As a woman with decades of life experiences, I bring my "walk" to the BARE "talk"!
Julia Jones
I became a Certified BARE coach because of my own incredibly transformative experience as a BARE client. I am eager to help women find pleasure and joy and fill their lives with meaning and accomplishment as they free themselves from the burdens of society’s expectations and self-judgment. I believe you are all so much more than a number, and I want you to know that too. I look forward to guiding you to the kind of self-love that makes self-care second nature and that gets results, not just with the shape of your body, but with the shape of your life.
Sulana Perelman
How liberating will it feel when your mind no longer has to obsess over calories, fat grams and portion sizes? All of that freed up energy can then be put into fulfilling your goals, dreams and into living a life of pleasure and joy!
I am a BARE Certified Coach, Registered Dietitian and a Master Coach in NLP, TLT and Trainer in Hypnosis. Having overcome my own struggles with years of dieting, my passion is now to help you live your best life! We will get to the root cause of your eating struggles (and by the way, it’s not about the food!), help you heal your relationship with food, squash the Mean Girl voices in your head, and, most of all, help you live a life on YOUR terms!
Margarita Castillo
Who do you most want to work with?
I work with high achieving women who feel successful in their careers and lifestyles, and still are wondering why they can’t lose weight.....even after trying everything! Trabajo con mujeres que se sienten exitosas en su carrera y vida familiar, y aun asi... no encuentran la razón porbla cual han probado de todo y no logran bajar de peso.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I am the only one certified BARE coach that shares this life changing program in Spanish for Latin American women, who have to cope also with so much cultural baggage that I share...I understand you and adapted it to our culture. Soy la única coach certificada de este programa que cambia la vida y que lo imparte en español para la mujer Latinoamericana; que ademas de lidiar con el “sentirse” que no logra perder peso, trata de superar muchos tabús de nuestra cultura.... yo soy latina y te entiendo...y BARE transformó mi vida, y lo he adaptado al español y a nuestra cultura
Belinda Smith
I am a Body Acceptance Mentor certified in the Bare method and a certified Life Coach through the Life Coach School.
I am a disabled woman, too. I was born with a congenital birth defect which paralyzed my left foot. I have no feeling in it (great party tricks), and it is fused in walking position. (No running and no high heels!)
Let's be real, when we live in a society which forms impressions about women based on how we look—and like it or not we do—we figure out pretty quickly that self-confidence and self-esteem do NOT come on a permission slip accompanied by a manual. We have to find it in ourselves. And helping you find your empowerment just happens to be my superpower.
I’m also a Dove Award winning songwriter based in Nashville, TN, and if you’re not careful, you’ll leave our work together with your very own personal theme song (cue Beyonce).
I see you, and I’ve got you.
Tracy Carrothers
Who do you most want to work with?
I work with women who are on the verge of playing big--women ready to move through fear and obstacles to pursue their soul desires.With BARE I help women focus on themselves, prioritize their well-being, and create bold soul-centered lives.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
As a woman who lives abroad I know what it is like to live in a culture that rejects my body because of its size. Experiencing pregnancy and breast cancer abroad REALLY tested my self-love when I was told over and over that I was too big. The doctors even said (inaccurately) that my weight caused my breast cancer. I am here to help women reject what culture says and embrace who they are, as they are right now.
Patti Sponsler
Who do you most want to work with?
I love working with intelligent women who are motivated to learn to love who they are and live life larger!
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I help YOU bring out YOUR best and unique self! And while that process will be challenging and sometimes scary, most of my clients have said that I am fun to work with and always felt encouraged to take the next step!

Juliet Zamarra
Who do you most want to work with?
Women who like themselves ok, but there isn't any real LOVE there. Women who keep settling and they aren't sure why. Women who want to take care of themselves but keep falling into bad habits.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I've been there:over-eating, under eating, exercising too much, exercising too little, no carbs, diet pills, loving my body, hating my body... I get it. I understand the path and I know what it takes to make a new one.
Cherie Nettles
Who do you most want to work with?
I am on an audacious mission to equip Christian women to rise up and live into their higher calling and purpose ... above the noise and chaos of the culture; above the distractions; above the limiting beliefs; above busyness and stress; above the dark places of diet culture, body shaming and self sabotage. E N O U G H of that!! No matter where you are now -- the possibility exist to live in fullness, NOT measure!
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
If you'd like to live the story God is writing for YOU, and get in-sync with a Kingdom lifestyle infused with BARE-fit essentials ... I would be honored to coach you. I invite you to email me. [email protected]
Sharon Kelley, M.D.
Who do you most want to work with?
I work primarily with women who have been thrust into the role of caring for a loved one with a serious medical or mental illness, all while trying to balance everything else going on in their lives. I call us Sheroes-- women who want to be the superhero in their own life.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I am a physician, BARE coach, Martha Beck coach, and most importantly, a mom who has cared for a sick member of her family for eight years. The combination of being a health practitioner, coach and caregiver has given me a unique perspective. I don't want women to spend years finding their true brilliance; I can and will help you become the superhero (shero) of your life.
Brooke Forhan
Who do you most want to work with?
Any woman who feels like she has no options. That has been stuffed in a box not meant to fit her. A woman who daydreams. A woman ready to level up her life. Any woman who is looking for a no bullshit coach. Any woman who is looking for someone to believe in HER!
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
My passion is body positivity. I am a pole instructor and have been teaching body positivity for years. Teaching women to love their bodies makes me straight up giddy. No matter your size, you are beautiful and worthy of all the good in this world.
Paige Bentley
Who do you most want to work with?
I work with bright and curious rock stars (just like you!) who are tired of being in body jail, ready to enjoy life in the front row. My clients know they deserve better and what they want IS possible. They just need a little help getting there.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I bring to BARE 5 + years of razor sharp coaching skills, history of Binge Eating Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with enough personal story to keep it laughable. I have sass, humor, a penchant for swearing- you’ll have a coach ready to help you stop breaking your own heart and start breaking rules.
Natalie Miller
Who do you most want to work with?
I love working with high-achieving, badass women who can do anything to which they set their minds . . . and yet can't quite figure out how to love and care for their bodies. I help these stellar women shift their mindsets and use their superpowers to learn to invest more in their personal wellbeing. As they begin to feel more vibrant, healthy, courageous, and whole, I'm there to help them make space to make evolutionary shifts in their work, relationships, and everyday lives.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I know - from lots of personal experience - how to take high standards and perfectionist tendencies and turn them toward making the world better for women, starting with one's own self. Along with the excellent BARE toolkit, I use techniques I've learned as a Master Certified Coach, an experienced yoga teacher, and a feminist activist.
Christine Majeran
Who do you most want to work with?
I want to work with women who are so very done with wasting one more moment hating themselves, obsessing about their thighs, or counting calories and points. How about instead I help you not do that anymore and we see what amazing things you can do with all that freed up time and mental energy?
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
A dark sense of humour and a smart mouth. And I’m a huge fact-finder so if you want down to earth no bullshit practical coaching, I’m your huckleberry. Probably shouldn’t work with me if you don’t like sarcasm. Or if you use the word “veggies”. That’s not ok.

Karen Crow
Who do you most want to work with?
I love working with women who are tired of feeling weighed down or off course and know that there’s something more waiting for them. I enjoy working with women who are ready for something more in their life, even if they don’t know what it is yet. I teach women to start taking exceptional care of themselves so that they can pursue their life with passion.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I have been a stay-at-home-mom, a working mom, I’ve homeschooled and now I have 3 kids in 3 different schools. I understand the common objections women have with self care, because I have personally worked through those objections myself. As a now retired massage therapist, I spent nearly 20 years in the health and wellness field before becoming a Life Coach. That experience has helped me teach mind/body awareness and instilled in me a belief that limiting thoughts and beliefs have no chance of survival with a woman who takes exceptional care of herself.
Amy Wagenknecht
Who do you most want to work with?
You! Of course. I want to help you get pep in your step and help you start living a bigger, braver life!
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
As an educator, I’ve taught and molded minds for over 10 years. I’ve also crushed it in sales at a Fortune 500 company and I busted my ass the be the best stay at home mom I could be.
All these experiences give me a wide perspective as a life coach.
Patricia Craighead
Who do you most want to work with?
I work with women who have had personal goals and dreams for many years but have not been able to see those goals and dreams become reality. She is feeling greatly overwhelmed by the mountain of responsibility produced by taking care of the family, or maybe a caregiver for a mentally ill or physically disabled family member. She’s keeping the pets happy, maintaining a career, or even daily concern for her own mental or physical impairment. She may be overloaded with the drama of life’s circumstances, feeling left behind which can cause hopelessness, despair and self neglect. She needs enthusiastic support and encouragement to revitalize and recreate the lifestyle changes necessary to enjoy her dream life, achieve goals and maintain high levels of self care.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
I have lived all over the U.S., the North, South, East and West. I have traveled internationally and always interacting with the locals. One thing rings true for women everywhere: we all are seeking connection and to be cherished and respected. Women want to know and feel that they have made a difference in their world. We have sought to discover our identity and purpose through our parents, spouses, children, friends, careers, churches, community institutions, and other places and things. I have searched, too, and I have found that it all comes together as I connect with myself. I nurture myself and take care of my needs. I accept and cherish myself. The journey to a destination of self discovery is available to us all——-let’s travel that path together using BARE principles, life experiences and love.

Arwyn is a practicing NP & brings her personal experience with shame, unworthiness and food/body struggles, combining them with her medical expertise and interaction with humans from all walks of life.

I love working with strong, powerful women who just can't figure out what the heck is up with their weight. Here's what I know for sure...You were made for more than obsessing about your crappy diet.

When I first learned about the BARE method, it was on the top of my list for 2019, I HAD to learn all the things! I want to work with women to help change their mindset and break free from the vicious cycle of guilt, addiction, self loathing and disdain toward their bodies. We are already beautifully and wonderfully made, and my role is to empower women as they reconnect with themselves in self love. The first syllable in DIET, afterall, is DIE...so down with the diet industry as we can dive into our highest potential!

Laura McCaffrey

Amy Long
Who do you most want to work with?
Women who want to level up. I've created a modern goal-setting method that encourages women to do the types of things they wouldn't dare do as the result of a lifetime of good-girl conditioning. It's not about finding balance: its about finding the uproar that makes a woman come alive.

Sara McDonald
Who do you most want to work with?
I love working with women who feel as though they are spinning in overwhelm. Women, who as a result of putting everyone else first, feel as though they have lost a part of themselves, and they are now ready to reclaim their lives, and step into the life they long for.
What is unique to you that you bring to the BARE process?
After receiving a degree in psychology, I married and had three children. For many years, I put everyone else first, was drowning in overwhelm, afraid to step out of my comfort zone because I worried what others would think, all of which resulted in a half-lived life. That is, until I found a better way thanks to Bare. And, now I would like to help you reclaim the parts of you that you feel have been lost in a safe, judgement free zone.
