ABOUT CAREY
Carey Marshall wears a lot of hats — Master Certified Life Coach, trained Identity Exchange Catalyst, Enneagram Guide, licensed pastor, and, when the mood strikes, singer-songwriter, musician, and worship leader. Can you tell she's an Enneagram Type 7? :)
Her superpower? Helping people ditch the junk that’s been weighing them down and step boldly into the life they were actually made for.
When she’s off the clock, Carey can be found crocheting things she swears she’s going to finish, crafting, rearranging furniture just to “see how it feels,” or making silly indie films that may or may not feature her friends and willing strangers.
Speaking of dogs… Carey and her husband, Mike, have a beautifully blended crew of eight kids — seven of whom are grown and launched — plus four ridiculously cute chihuahuas: Quigley, Tito, Zoe, and Stella (who are absolutely convinced they run the household).
Based near Lake Minnetonka in Minneapolis, Carey is your go-to for life coaching, identity work, and helping you live with more clarity and confidence.
Mike joins in for couples coaching through the Marriage Builders® program, where the two of them help turn “we’re barely hanging on” into “we’ve never been stronger.”
Together, they’re all about real change, deep connection, and the occasional happy dance when a breakthrough happens.
As a spiritual coach in Minneapolis, MN and a life coach serving Waconia, Orono, Mound, Spring Park, Chaska, Chanhassen, Victoria, Wayzata, MN and the surrounding communities, I help you become the most whole, empowered version of yourself.
MISSION
Our mission is to empower others to break free from limitations, discover their true identity, and realize their full potential. Through coaching and self-discovery, we help others get unstuck, embrace their strengths, and confidently create the life they've dreamed to live.
THE METHOD
We’re not your “one-size-fits-all” coaching team. To help people transform their lives, we blend powerful tools like the Identity Exchange program, the Enneagram, and proven, science-backed life coaching techniques — all with a spiritual edge. This combo helps you uncover your true identity, smash the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back, and get crystal-clear on your purpose.
We believe real change happens when you truly know yourself. That’s why we focus on building self-awareness, sparking personal growth, and helping you see (and actually believe in) your strengths. Our goal? To equip you to face obstacles head-on, live with authenticity, and create a life you love — one rooted in purpose, freedom, and fulfillment.
CLICK TO LEARN HOW LIFE COACHING WORKS
When it comes to couples coaching, we bring out the big guns: the transformative Marriage Builders® program. We specialize in affair recovery and in guiding couples who feel like they’re on the edge of “it’s over” back to a place of connection, trust, and real intimacy.

April E.
"I had never done this type of coaching before and didn’t know what to expect.
I went in with so many things on my mind that felt overwhelming and were making each day pretty stressful. Carey helped me break things down into categories and look at each thing in a more manageable way.
She is such a great listener and not only did I feel a huge amount of clarity in the decisions I am trying to make but I also felt truly empowered. I am looking forward to my next session and feel like I have more tools to deal with everything I’m working towards. Highly recommend."

"I highly recommend Spaark coaching. The office is comfortable, quiet, and easy to find. Carey helped get out of a rut and achieve my goals. "
Ashlee C.
"Trust and authenticity developed quickly due to the limited number of couples which fostered open and candid discussions about current and past problems and solutions. The exercises helped us explore and discuss topics that we either avoided or had never thought about. We're so glad we invested in this weekend retreat."
Deb H.
"I am amazed at how well my coaching session went with Carey! I wasn’t sure what to expect but right away Carey made me feel at ease and she was able to help me work through a situation that I was trying to figure out! She wasn’t telling me what to do but she was leading me to find the answers for myself! Super empowering and I think everyone can benefit from this service!"

"Good coaches give advice. Great coaches listen more than they talk, and believe the individual being coached is the most expert person in the discussion at hand. Thank you Carey for the helpful dialogue focused on creative solutions to my development!"
