Most of my life I have struggled with maintaining healthy eating habits. The relationship I had with food stemmed from my childhood hardships. As an adult I was eating sugary, fatty and salty foods, even though I wasn't facing anymore hardships and food insecurities.
When I met Doug Mercer he offered to unpack my poor eating habits. We met once a week for about a year. Doug is extremely patient and realistic with the goals he helped me achieve. We started by removing one item and checking in next week. Then the goals became a bit more focused on loosing weight. I never felt embarrassed or ashamed if I could not complete a goal by the next time we spoke, instead we would discuss what kept me from achieving my goals and take it from there.
As a life coach Doug Mercer really does posses all the necessary elements for success because wether it is working on your health or maybe just organizing your life a bit more, he will guide you to succeed effortlessly. All I can say is Thank you Doug.

I am very proud and honored to have known Doug Mercer for over 17 years. He is the quintessential coach who enabled me to learn to live life less seriously and set new standards for myself. "Life is not for sissies" is an invaluable affirmation i learned from Doug. His expertise and caring will provide you with the growth mindset for success. Doug's founding of Wellness Foundation in 2015 was responsible for transforming the quality and quantity of tens of thousands of people's lives. I highly recommend Doug Mercer for enhancing your quality of life!

Doug Mercer is a gifted life coach. He has walked me through so many issues. He is a careful listener who offers insightful feedback grounded in moral principles. His master skill is being able to clarify what your REAL issue is and help you understand why you feel, act, and react in certain ways. Moreover, he uses that understanding to help you shape your decision making in the direction you want to go. He is a tremendous resource, and I encourage you to make use of his services.

I was at a loss. In fact, I was lost. My life was filled with false starts, unfinished actions and abandoned projects. Doug’s coaching methods gave me hope. He helped me identify and then focus on my true goals. He suggested how to build a structure and evaluate progress. Now as I move slowly forward, I can apply what I have learned. Also, being accountable to someone who is in your corner is an incentive to stay on track... Forward….

We were recently facing a complicated family matter relating to elder care that required us to make some difficult decisions. The entire situation was stressful for us because not everyone in the family could agree on a plan. This changed after we retained the services of Doug. He listened well to our problem, asked thoughtful questions, and encouraged us which enabled us to formulate a solution that resulted in the successful resolution of this very important family matter. We are sincerely grateful for Doug’s help.

I have had the pleasure of working with Doug at MLC since its inception, engaging in regular coaching sessions across a wide range of topics from both my personal and professional life. Doug consistently delivers clarity and decisiveness for challenging situations and daunting opportunities alike. He is an exquisite listener who can quickly synthesize my ramblings into a coherent summary of what is truly important and does so without judgement or criticism. He has a bias to action - informed by a lifetime of experiences and relationships - that results in coaching that is straightforward to execute and easy to measure. His energy and positive attitude are infectious - I always leave our sessions with a clear head, a confident mindset, and a full bucket!

Doug Mercer is supportive and a good listener. As a life coach, he asks open ended questions and instead of telling you what you should do, he gives you the tools to figure it out for yourself.

I worked with Doug when I was overwhelmed with complicated decisions and found his calm guidance in how to sort things through to be invaluable. These were the many details and decisions that keep me awake at night, tossing and turning, those moments when you have solicited opinions from everyone involved but need to step back and choose. Having someone to speak with who can coach you through your logic and help you clarify choices was a godsend. I will always call Doug when I get to these decision points.

When I first started working with Doug, I was amazed at how quickly our conversations manifested into a positive outcome in my life. Not only was Doug a great listener, but the questions also he asked me opened new avenues of my thought process which have helped me navigate stressful situations very constructively. The coaching by Doug has resulted in me making well thought out decisions with a clear understanding of what the outcome would be. There are many paths in life and with this additional perspective it has enabled me to make decisions that always leads me down the right path. Thank you, Doug.
