Work one-on-one, in groups, or via video with Linn Montjoy and Patty May, two coaches who have navigated life's hardest roads and are ready to walk yours with you.
Coaching is far more than a professional service. It is a transformative partnership that cultivates courage, builds unbreakable resilience, and empowers you to harvest lasting joy on your journey to your most authentic and prosperous self.
In every session, we meet you exactly where you are, with deep respect and unwavering support, guiding you through life's challenges with honesty, compassion, and practical tools that create real change.
Whether you're an individual seeking greater fulfillment, a couple, a teen, or a helping professional ready to rise stronger, coaching here is the proven path that turns obstacles into opportunities and inner work into joyful, resilient living.
At Grit and Gratitude, coaching is not just valuable; it is the heart of how we walk alongside you toward a life of courage, connection, and true prosperity.
To cultivate courage and resilience in every person we work with, empowering individuals to harvest joy through a journey into their most prosperous self. We know that moving through life can be challenging and is an inside job. We aspire to walk alongside you on your journey to Joyful Fulfillment.
We will "meet you where you are at" and allow you to be seen, heard, and respected. We are committed to giving you our best as we guide and support you on your journey. We have managed to make it through many life trials, and we are still standing strong. We will laugh and grow together through love, humor, and sadness toward a life you truly love.
Born and raised in the heart of South Mississippi, Linn has proudly called Arizona home since relocating after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Now based in Cottonwood, he brings a grounded, rigorously honest, and deeply authentic approach to coaching shaped by both regions.
With 25 years in the mental health field, Linn brings extraordinary range:
Currently enrolled in the prestigious Robbins-Madanes Life Coaching program to earn his certification. Board member of the Verde Valley Alano Club (10 years) and Verde Valley Homeless Coalition. He has a special passion for supporting those in helping and service professions.
Patty first came to Cottonwood, Arizona 30 years ago, leaving her Pennsylvania roots for the inspiring landscapes and close-knit spirit of the Verde Valley. Holding a BA in Art Education and an MA in Counseling Psychology, she taught for 14 years — much of it in Head Start — before her true passion emerged in offering families transformative support beyond the classroom.
At Verde Valley Guidance Clinic (Spectrum), Patty created and led the groundbreaking Women's World program, a nurturing space dedicated to healing, empowerment, and personal growth. For nearly three decades she has served this community as a therapist, shaped by her own 29 years in recovery.
Patty has completed Robbins-Madanes Advanced Level Certification Training, and holds a special place in her heart for those in helping and service professions, including teachers, healthcare workers, and first responders, who pour so much into others and deserve unwavering support of their own.
Schedule a no-pressure, 30-minute conversation with Linn or Patty to discover how life coaching can help you build resilience, find clarity, and step into a more fulfilling life.
During this session we will get to know you, understand your goals, and determine the best professional fit between you and your coach. We will also walk you through our coaching packages and pricing so you have everything you need to make the right decision for your journey, with zero obligation.
