About Athena

Athena Sternklar, certified Christian life coach and founder of Preparing His Bride, seated in quiet reflection

“My deepest joy is helping women open their eyes to who they really are, the potential they carry, and their God-given dreams.”

Hello, I’m Athena — a Certified Christian life coach, minister, and student of faith. I founded Preparing His Bride to walk alongside women who are ready to grow into the fullness of who God created them to be.

My own journey through seasons of struggle and transformation showed me that lasting change doesn’t just come from more discipline — it flows from the soul. When our internal life is transformed, the practical follows. 

I bring a blend of Bible-based counsel, practical structure, and gentle accountability to each woman I work with. Whether you’re navigating a career shift, healing in relationships, stewarding your health/finances, or seeking clarity in your walk with the Lord, I’m here to help you take the next step.
