Neil
Hello! — I’m Neil Krawczynski, Certified Life Coach, Certified Spiritual Director, and co‑founder of NK Catholic Coaching.
My wife Nellie and I started this coaching and mentoring ministry to help Catholic couples toward the goals they have in mind for their lives and marriages.
As one half of NK Catholic Coaching, I am passionate about helping men become who our Lord is calling them to be. Without the right help, it can be difficult – I know, I’ve been there. In my work with men as a spiritual director and marriage mentor, time and again I have seen the same thing: good men with good intentions and sincere faith who wanted to grow, lead, and love better — but didn’t have a clear map or steady companion to walk with them.
I coach men who want faith to shape their daily choices, not just their Sunday mornings - men who want to lead better lives, stronger marriages, and faith-filled families. I help you turn intentions into habits, confusion into a plan, and pressure into peaceful leadership. I mentor you through the hard work that personal growth requires — all grounded in Catholic spirituality and Church teaching.
Here’s how I can help:
-
Set clear, achievable goals and make a plan that fits your vocation.
-
Restore work‑life balance so family and faith aren’t the casualties of success.
-
Equip you to live your faith publicly with integrity and courage.
-
Strengthen marriage and family life by embracing the vocation of husband and father, deepening intimacy, and practicing spiritual headship.
-
Create a sustainable prayer life for you and your household that fits real life.
I don’t hand out platitudes or proverbs. I listen, challenge, and walk alongside you as you take the next right step. Small changes, repeated, will help you become the man your family needs.
If you’ve ever wanted to reach a goal but didn’t know that next right step, let’s map it out together. E-mail me at NEILKCLC@GMAIL.COM and let’s start the conversation.
I’d be honored to walk this path with you. God bless!
Nellie
Nellie is one of 12 siblings. Born into a Puerto Rican family she quickly learned to pick her battles. She has spent the last twenty-two years in the clinical counseling field providing individual and group therapy primarily to women who experienced trauma and impactful life events.
She has been (and currently remains) a certified level 2 trauma professional, is certified in EMDR and she incorporate IFS, Polyvagal informed techniques, somatic psychology and cognitive behavioral strategies into her work. Nellie is also a certified spiritual director who received her training from the Avila Institute/Heart of Christ School of Spiritual Direction.
Her approach has almost always been integrative with the goal that each healed or healing wound means another barrier to intimacy with Jesus is overcome. Through these modalities, with the Lord at the forefront, many have found hope and healing while doing this work together.
Additionally, Nellie has spent over 30+ years in women’s ministry including speaking at women’s conferences, developing and facilitating women’s retreats, founding a Catholic women’s music ministry called Daughters of God; hosting women’s bible studies; book studies on women’s spirituality; spiritually directing Magnify 90 for her parish. She is a Prepare and Enrich Certified Marriage Facilitator, and with her husband Neil of 19 years she is also a Marriage Mentor for the Diocese of Cleveland.
Currently Nellie has moved on from therapy full time and is now a Catholic Certified Life Coach. Advancing and fine tuning her skills and knowledge, she has answered a new call – Catholic Behavioral Health Coaching.
Some of Nellie's most favorite things to do is sing and cantor at her parish of St. John Bosco in Parma Heights and visit with her grandnieces who bring joy to her life. Nellie also loves to do get-aways with her husband Neil and simply relax.
