How my journey began

Hello!  I am Dr. Erica Grunwald, general dentist and life coach for women in healthcare.  I help women reach their goals both  personally and professionally.  Professional women are faced with many challenges so  I show them how to overcome obstacles and to reach their ultimate goals.

But how did I get here?

My journey, like most, has been full of ups and downs.  After 8 years of college, I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and started pursuing the practice of dentistry in the U.S. Navy.  I was married shortly after that and, seemingly, life was heading in the right direction….until it wasn’t.  After 5 years of marriage, my husband no longer wanted to be married and this is ultimately where my journey of personal growth began.  Divorce was not easy for me and when I found myself not pulling out of the pity party of sadness, I made the decision to get help.  I saw my therapist for a steady time for several years and then checked in a few times a year, more if it was needed.  Therapy helped me to move past the sadness.  As my therapist announced his retirement to me, he suggested I look into a life coach to shift some of my negative thoughts and set some goals to improve my life.  I had trusted him for 10 years so I took his advice.  Two years later I was emerged in several different aspects of coaching.  It TRANSFORMED my life!  I no longer move past things but I tackle them head on and truly learn how I can be different and grow.  The experience has been so powerful that I want to share it with every woman who will allow me to help them grow and get where they want to go.

So in addition to practicing dentistry  in a small town in Michigan, I completed my multiple certifications in life coaching.  I intend to share my experiences and knowledge to help women in healthcare be everything they want and more.  There is no goal off the table.  My first goal was to accept myself the way that I am…inside and, more importantly outside.  With a lot of time and effort I have achieved this and so much more.

I can’t wait to meet you and guide you to your best life!  There is no mountain too tall.  Go beyond basic thinking and DREAM BIG!
