Meet Lori Ball
Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach (BCMMHC) & Addiction Specialist
AACC
American Association of Christian Counselors
For over 20 years, Lori Ball has dedicated herself to helping individuals find their purpose, break free from addiction, and embrace personal growth.
A Life Transformed by Belief
Born and raised on a farm in Indiana, Lori’s life took her from the simplicity of rural living to overcoming numerous personal battles—substance abuse, divorce, near-death experiences, grief from multiple miscarriages, and breast cancer.
Each of these struggles deepened her connection with her faith, helping her discover that believe is more than just a word—it’s a driving force.
As a certified Life Recovery Coach and Addiction Specialist, Lori offers personalized guidance to clients dealing with addictions, self-destructive coping behaviors, life transitions, and loss of hope.
Her faith-centered coaching approach provides the tools, education, and accountability needed for clients to go from bondage to freedom, allowing them to live lives of purpose and fulfillment.
A Lifelong Journey of Faith and Recovery
Lori’s path to becoming a coach was inspired by her own life experiences. Having struggled through addiction, trauma, and profound grief, she understands the power of resilience and the importance of faith in overcoming hardship.
Today, Lori is passionate about helping others find their own wings and navigate life’s detours with confidence.
