Beachwood Counseling Center is here to help
Miriam Schuman (She/her) is a personal transformation coach who partners with individuals ready to
move beyond insight into lasting, lived change. Many of her clients come to her after years of
therapy, healing, or personal growth work—they have done the inner exploration and are now
seeking support to translate that awareness into action, aligning mindset, values, and choices to
fully actualize their lives.
With over 30 years of experience in leadership, consulting, coaching, and education, Miriam
supports people navigating major life transitions, including questions of purpose, identity shifts,
career changes, and periods of burnout. Her work focuses on helping clients optimize both well-
being and performance, without sacrificing one for the other.
Miriam blends strategy, deep self-awareness, and mindfulness-based practices to create a
safe, grounded, and supportive space for reflection, clarity, and new possibilities. Her approach is
trauma-informed, strengths-based, and relational, allowing clients to examine long-held
patterns while building the capacity to choose differently moving forward.
Her work is designed to complement—not replace—therapy or medical care. Clients learn
how to integrate what they have already gained through healing into practical, sustainable
changes in their daily lives. They often leave sessions feeling both grounded and energized,
with clear, tangible steps that support mental, emotional, and physical health.
Miriam’s greatest strength lies in her authentic presence and partnership-based approach.
She brings warmth, honesty, and discernment to her work, helping individuals develop self-trust,
resilience, and a deeper sense of agency. As a former high-performing athlete, and now a high-
performance coach, she has a nuanced understanding of pressure, identity, and the cost of over-
functioning—particularly for women.
Miriam holds an MBA in Organizational Development from Case Western Reserve University, is
certified by the International Association of Generative Coaching, and has advanced training in
leadership, systems thinking, human potential, and trauma-informed coaching. She is passionate
about helping people create thriving, balanced lives—without burning out, selling out, or leaving
themselves behind.
