Melissa Cappleman is the Dave Ramsey Certified Financial Coach of the Greater Los Angeles Area!

About Melissa Cappleman

I’ve been told that what makes me a great coach is that I’m gently straightforward, knowledgeable, and non-pretentious. I ask out loud the questions you’ve been pondering, even the simplest questions like how to budget finances, and I talk about the issues you see but are afraid to bring up. I break tasks into bite-sized, easily digestible pieces. Perhaps most importantly, I know where you’re coming from, because I’ve been there myself, and I want to help you get where you want to be.

Melissa achieved her personal goal of a debt-free life in 2010.

I began my coaching business in 2007 as a Life Coach, after receiving training in the Wellness Mapping 360° and Coach Training Alliance Certified Coach programs. Soon, I discovered The Dave Ramsey Show, a podcast about personal finances and living a debt-free life. I was accepted into the training program and was trained by Dave and his team in finance coaching. I am now the Dave Ramsey Certified Financial Coach of the Greater Los Angeles Area! I am proud to say that, since then, I have helped hundreds of people across the nation discover the road to financial freedom.

Coach Melissa runs her business, and her personal life, on a cash-only basis.

My goal, and dream, is to help others discover a balance to their lives, financial balance and emotional balance. I help couples, singles, and small business owners to put money in perspective. Instead of letting money control them, I teach them how to control money. By improving their relationship to money, I help them improve their relationships to others as well. Being balanced financially allows for balance in all areas of their lives.

Financial balance leads to life balance

Since I too come from a background of financial turmoil and debt, I understand exactly what my clients are going through. However, I also know, from personal experience as well as my finance coaching and life coaching training, that the turmoil and debt can be overcome. By first helping you to understand your relationship to, and feelings about, money, I will show you how it is possible to bring balance to your financial life.

From there, if you choose, we can work together to bring balance to your spiritual life, your relationships, and your professional life, as well.

Brent Pittman
I grew up a saver and I knew how to work hard. But, there was a lot about money that I didn’t know. When I learned about Dave Ramsey, I immediately digested the information and lifestyle. It was what I had been looking for; practical steps for dealing with money built from a foundation of sound Biblical principles. I’ve been trained in finance coaching by the Dave Ramsey organization, and have led three Financial Peace University groups to date. My family lives debt free and we haven’t used a credit card since our first year of marriage.

I love to see a marriage flourish when a couple gets on the same page financially. In fact, finance coaching for couples is one of my specialties, strengthening marriages by helping couples with their personal finances. Just a few of the topics covered in finance coaching for couples include relationships and money, savings, beating debt, dealing with creditors and collectors, retirement and college savings, and giving.

My other niche is small business finance coaching; helping a business to become sound and viable in the ups and downs of the economy. Common topics covered in Small Business Finance Coaching include cash flow planning, debt reduction, hiring and firing, goal setting, business plans, and decision-making. I know how to run a business that is debt free, profitable, and a fun place to work.

Jeff Lightner

I began living on a budget at the age of 12. Growing up, I was surprised to discover that others did not. As a result, I discovered that I love working alongside people and guiding them in their financial decision making process.

I have now been through Crown Ministry’s finance coaching training program, in addition to completing both Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, and his personal finance coaching training courses. As I went through these I realized that the principles that were being taught were for the most part the same principles I had followed most of my life. This confirmed to me that I should expand my area of expertise to help others with their financial dealings.

I have complimented my skills in finance coaching by leading small groups, mentoring at both the youth and adult levels, and speaking at group functions in order to improve my communication, counseling and relational skills.
