Patricia McKinney-Lins

Practicing Attorney and Certified Coach

I have been an attorney for more than 35 years and have suffered from anxiety and health issues resulting from unmanaged stress. After having worked in my solo practice as well as being currently employed in a mid-sized firm, I have developed a strategy to help myself and others deal with the inherent health and wellness challenges that accompany the practice of law. I received coaching certification after completing the Health Coach Institute Health and Life Coach Training, a CCE-Accredited program certified by the International Coaching Federation. I have incorporated a simple step-by-step program, based on habit change, that allows us to calmly and effectively practice law, to manage our stress level, and to live in the moment as much as possible.

I have two adult children, whom I adore. My daughter Molly is a photographer and a musician. She lives with her spouse Kyle and their rescue dog Sconnie in Nashville. My son Shannon is an attorney who lives in Chicago. I dearly miss my spouse Jim who passed away in 2018. In my freetime, I love photography and traveling to Ireland.
