BLISScipline A.I.M. Volunteer Leaders
All BLISScipline A.I.M. leaders are highly skilled Erickson College trained Certified Professional coaches with coaching businesses that I, Rae T. Chois (the founded of BLISScipline A.I.M. and Erickson College International trainer) have worked with personally. The founder of Erickson College International, Dr. Marilyn Atkinson (www.erickson.edu), has been my personal mentor and instrumental in inspiring the launch of BLISScipline A.I.M. and training these exceptional coaches.
Rae T. Chois is the founder of BLISScipline A.I.M. and an ICF Master Certified Transformation Coach who works with life long learners to awaken the genius in themselves and others. Rae has over 2500 coaching hours and is widely recognized for her passion and extraordinary talent as a transformational coach, trainer and facilitator engaging large audiences and clients worldwide.
As a trainer with Erickson College International, she has trained and mentored coaches from across the globe.
Rae is no stranger to the transformational process. As a wife, mother of two young boys, informational entrepreneur, friend, volunteer, athlete, life long learner, etc. Rae has experienced “life’s polarity” and learned a lot from the school of hard knocks.
Out of desperation to find herself and support the people around her, she began studying human development technologies. For the last 20 years, Rae has been on her own journey of discovery and inner development. She continues to embrace a beginner’s mind with each new moment, and learns something new about herself and her purpose everyday.
Prior to becoming a professional coach and trainer, Rae worked for the Olympic Organizing Committee in Salt Lake City, and in international waters supporting high level communication amongst the 64 countries represented on cruise ships.
Leveraging her international experience, education and radiance as a life long learner, Rae Chois offers a wide range of programs and services including one-on-one Transformational Coaching, group coaching, tele-classes, online live virtual trainings, and in-person trainings.
She has created numerous products and programs that support her vision of awakening the genius in people to live in joy, authenticity and fulfillment. The book and CD set she co-authored called The Making Powerful Choice - 30-Day Program was published in 2005. This “how to” system has since helped hundreds of people across the globe to vividly vision and boldly believe they can and will live the life they love. She has published two additional books with Dr. Marilyn Atkinson on the Art & Science of Coaching, and is currently working on a third.

She is also passionate about assisting people to find what they love and live it, as this has been a long walk for her. She has trained as a social service worker, and taken sociology, psychology and counseling courses, as well as becoming certified as Somatic Therapist, body worker and breath practioner.
