Forward Path with Melissa Gendreau

Life and Marriage God's Way

Your growth is my 

God-given purpose

After being a Mental Health Therapist since 2009, I felt God prompt me to expand. To share my experience and knowledge on a larger scale as a Christian Life-Purpose and Marriage Coach. And to have the focus be on your growth—both in your life and in your marriage — to glorify God.
