About The Owner
Meet Janine Gale, the owner of her small business Rise Coaching Services. Janine's background begins on Long Island, New York, growing up with her mom and dad in suburbia. She lived a happy life in a solid family until her dad unexpectedly passed away during surgery. She attended Boston University for undergraduate work, studying mass communications with a concentration in advertising. Originally, she had thought that she would do anything but follow in her parents' footsteps, with her dad as a school counselor and her mom as a teacher. However, she did happen to have a liberal arts concentration in psychology which she eventually used professionally over time. Following her intuition and the sunshine, she then moved to California in 2001, and then ended up enrolling in a Master's program in Educational Counseling through National University. She later built two school counseling programs at two different kindergarten through eighth grade schools. After 19 years as a school counselor, she wanted to work more closely with children and their families on a smaller, more manageable scale where her work would have more of an impact and suit her own personality better. Janine is currently a coach for children and their families and will be certified by the International Coaching Federation. She has a 12 year old daughter who she gets to learn from everyday. In her free time she enjoys yoga, traveling, breath work, running, hiking, relaxing, self-care and spending time with her loved ones.
