“In 2015, I was caregiving for my wounded veteran husband, raising two teenagers, and grieving my mother — there was no room left for me. Through a partnership with the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, One to One paired me with a coach, and those stolen moments in my parked car became the space where I found myself again.”

— Pam, OtO Client Since 2015

It started with a 3x5 index card and a simple belief that every woman deserves a coach in her corner. Meet Susie Strauss, our founder →

Since then, more than 1,500 women have experienced the power of OtO coaching, through an individual referral to her own coach or through a group coaching program. The positive results experienced by each woman spread to her family, her community, and the wider world.

Caregiving is at the heart of many of our clients' lives, whether they're supporting a disabled child, parent, or partner. In 2017, OtO launched a program designed specifically for caregivers of military veterans, backed by specialized training for the coaches who walk alongside them. That commitment has grown into partnerships with organizations including the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, the American Red Cross, and the Veterans Administration, helping more of these often-overlooked women access the coaching they deserve.
