Empowering Success: Our Story
In today’s fast-paced world, achieving balance, clarity, and peak performance can feel overwhelming—whether you’re a student managing academic pressures, a professional striving for career growth, or a family navigating life’s challenges. That’s why we launched Focus Forward: Coaching, Learning & Wellness, a premier life coaching and executive function coaching service based in the Washington, DC area.
Our journey began with a deep understanding of the struggles individuals face when juggling responsibilities, overcoming procrastination, managing time effectively, and maintaining motivation. I discovered my passion at the intersection of curiosity, problem-solving, and human potential—recognizing that the right strategies, guidance, and mindset shifts can empower people to achieve more than they ever thought possible. With years of experience in education and personal development, we saw a need for tailored coaching that helps students, professionals, and families unlock their full potential.
At Focus Forward, we specialize in executive function coaching for students and adults who want to enhance organization, focus, and productivity. Our life coaching services guide individuals and executives through transitions, helping them set meaningful goals, build confidence, and create sustainable habits for success. Whether you’re a student seeking academic strategies, a working professional aiming for career advancement, or an executive looking to optimize performance, we provide personalized coaching that delivers results.
Our coaching is built on a foundation of evidence-based strategies, neuroscience-backed techniques, and a compassionate, client-centered approach. Located in Potomac, Maryland we offer both in-person and virtual coaching, making our services accessible to busy professionals, students, and families anywhere in the world.
If you’re ready to take control of your time, productivity, and future success, Focus Forward is here to help. Let’s create a path to achievement together.

Kristelle
– Executive Function & Life Coaching Expert in Washington, DC
With a passion for unlocking human potential, I have built my career at the intersection of curiosity, problem-solving, and performance optimization. As an Executive Function/ADHD Specialist, I help individuals of all ages—students, professionals, families, and executives—develop the skills needed to stay organized, manage time effectively, and achieve their personal and professional goals.
My background in education has given me a deep understanding of communication, collaboration, and effective planning—essential skills for success in school, work, and life. I recognize that executive function challenges affect people in different ways, from students struggling with time management and focus to professionals seeking strategies to enhance productivity and leadership. Whether you’re a high school or college student working toward academic success, a family looking for support, or a business leader refining executive function skills, I provide customized coaching to meet your unique needs.
In addition to my professional expertise, I bring personal insight to my work as a mother of four, who has navigated the challenges of executive function firsthand. Through this journey, I have fine-tuned effective strategies that not only help my own family but also empower my clients to build confidence, independence, and long-term success.
At Focus Forward: Coaching, Learning & Wellness, I specialize in executive function coaching and life coaching designed to help individuals build organization, improve focus, and strengthen problem-solving skills. My coaching is rooted in neuroscience-backed techniques that help clients develop practical strategies for managing priorities, reducing stress, and fostering long-term success. For students and families, I offer structured guidance to navigate academic demands, while professionals and executives benefit from personalized coaching that optimizes productivity, decision-making, and work-life balance.
