About Athena

Athena Sternklar, certified Christian life coach and founder of Preparing His Bride, seated in warm daylight

“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 faith-rooted 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.

A NOTE FROM ATHENA

I believe in holistic transformation.

When working together one on one, I help you find the underlying root causes to cycles, limiting habits, and mindsets. I walk you through freedom, healing, and renewing of your beliefs. This is tailored entirely to your personal experience and daily life. 

As we work through the foundation, I help you create a practical step by step journey of applying this transformation to see the tangible fruit.

Endorsements

In their words.

I had gone to counseling before but never had a life coach. At first I wasn’t sure I needed it or that I would want the accountability but the results I experienced were amazing. Throughout my experience Athena was consistently a great listener and communicator. You can tell she genuinely wants to help her clients. She’s not just going through the motions. There were times when I faced setbacks but instead of feeling judged, Athena helped me to feel more empowered and figure out exactly what I needed to do next. If you want to grow, have goals you want to reach but feel stuck or simply want to accelerate the process, I highly recommend Athena. She is well equipped to provide effective and faith based coaching...
Jessica
I had just recently graduated college and as a Christian I carried a lot of fear around my finances. Having Athena show me logistically what I could afford with the job and income that was coming in really allowed me to start living more securely and less fear based. With Athena’s sound Godly character and wise advice it gave me the needed tools to truly live securely and I am tremendously thankful for that.
Priscilla
I have served as a mentor to Athena in deliverance ministry. I watched her impact dozens of people all around the world, counseling and ministering to them. She is gifted in identifying and tackling the underlying root cause of an issue, and guiding people into freedom in Jesus. She is truly led by the Holy Spirit and hears His voice for others. With decades of ministry experience behind me, I trust Athena’s ability to help others.

Deliverance Ministry Leader & Mentor
Working with Athena was such a pleasure. She came with guidance and clarity from beginning to end. She thoroughly evaluates the area you need help with and brings solutions through well rounded conversations as well as a genuine understanding of you as a person. Every interaction leaves you sharpened with practical next steps that are easily applicable. She is also very attentive and regularly checks in with you on your progress, keeping you accountable! She is definitely the person you want in your corner for any goal you aim to achieve.
Bianca
Athena's ministry has been a tremendous blessing in my life. Her patience, encouragement, and faithfulness to God's Word, has helped me to grow spiritually and develop a deeper understanding of my purpose and relationship with Christ. Her ministry has inspired me to trust God more, walk in faith, and apply biblical principles in my daily life. I am truly grateful for the impact her ministry has had on my spiritual journey.
