    I came into this experience dealing with some heavy personal challenges and not really knowing what…read moreto expect. Through the sessions, we worked through a lot of deeper issues tied to past experiences and relationships that I hadn't fully processed before. Over time, I noticed a real shift in how I think and feel. It became easier to let go of things that were weighing on me, and I found more clarity and peace within myself. I'm genuinely grateful for the guidance and support I received. If you're open to doing the work, this can be a powerful experience.

    I began working with Sarah because I felt stuck, not in my career or external life but internally…read more I've been on a healing path for over 12 years, and somewhere along the way I unconsciously adopted the belief that I was broken. That there was always something to fix, something to heal, something to improve. Working with Sarah broke that pattern for me. Through our sessions, we were able to close loops I didn't even realize were still open. On a conscious level, I thought I had already "done the work." But at a subconscious level, there were still pieces waiting to be integrated. Sarah guided me gently and skillfully, even through the harder sessions. I always felt safe. Never rushed. Never judged. Just supported. After completing our work together, I feel lighter. More present. The constant feeling that I need to fix myself or prove something has finally quieted. I have already accomplished many of my external goals but internally I always felt like it was never enough. That cycle has stopped. I now feel whole rather than in progress. I genuinely appreciate the time I spent working with Sarah. I respect her as a practitioner and as a woman doing this work. It has been an incredibly meaningful experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone who feels ready for deep, subconscious transformation.

This staffing agency is terrible but better than Adecco. Why? They are the biggest clowns ever compared to these guys. When you try to follow up, they told you they will keep you posted and you know what? I have been completely lied to. I was told I will know by the end of June and here we are now. No response from these clowns as well. I went to clown college for undergrad and this is how I am repaid. Do you want me to run your staffing agency? I got the qualifications because I went to clown college too and can do a better job than everyone who works here. If you are mentally challenged apply with them at your own risk because in the end you get treated like trash. If my ex girlfriend was a staffing agency this will probably fit the bill. Unacceptable. Is this any way to treat a neurodiverse person on their career break? I think not. Being mean to a mentally challenged person is a crime and seems to me like this staffing agency is committing it. Thanks for ghosting me and making my life a bigger cesspit of failure. I will still apply with you guys but don't count on me being lenient with you because that opportunity is lost now.

The current role I was at provided little flexibility with an hour of commute each way. I enjoyed the company and people but I was just adjusting to motherhood and working 40-50 hours a week. I heard about Career Ready through a mutual friend and reached out right away. Within a single meeting, Lucy provided a thoughtful analysis of my situation, strengths and career choices. She was very supportive and made me feel confident about finding the right position that would fit my life and allow me to spend more time with my little one. Lucy crafted a dynamic resume for me based on our discussions. Not only did Lucy help me with my resume. She helped strengthen my interview skills. She coached me on phone/live interviewing. This is an area I needed some guidance in. I managed to send my resume out 2 weeks after Lucy and I worked on it. Took a couple of phone interviews, live interviews and I was happy to land a role that provided flexibility, great benefits and work/life balance. I am a much better employee, mother and wife :) I am forever grateful for her time, support and guidance.

    I have been working with Mara Rose as a career and life coach for over a year and I've had a…read morewonderful experience. When we first starting working together, I was at a stressful and frustrating point in my career and considering a change. We dove deep and explored every option, leaving no stone unturned. We developed methods to evaluate every potential route I could have taken, discussed the pros and cons of big decisions, and worked together to create a vision of my future that I wanted--then made a plan to achieve it. Mara was excellent at helping me figure out my strengths, my career criteria, my personality traits, and all the things that make up who we are, but we don't necessarily think about. I learned so much about myself through the process. Mara was thoughtful, organized, kind, and extremely supportive in every one of our sessions. She also has a great sense of humor and we make each other laugh a lot, which keeps our sessions fun. If you're considering working with a career coach or life coach, know that it's a relationship and relationships require work from both sides. This isn't a service where you answer a few questions then someone tells you what job you should have. There are Buzzfeed quizzes for that. With Mara, I brought ideas to the table and we worked through them together. She provided resources, tools, and a framework to guide my thinking. She brought her own ideas to the table and we discussed them. There was homework. Research. Big things to think about. Lots of introspection outside of our 1-hour sessions. I've since started a new chapter in my career and I continue to work with Mara for her guidance on leadership, balance, and where to devote my energy. She's a wonderful coach and an awesome human being.

My first meeting with Coach Colleen Campbell felt like meeting with a long time friend, she is warm and encouraging. At first I thought I only required resume review assistance and interview coaching, but over the approx. 8 months that I met with Coach Colleen Campbell, she provided much more. We collaborated together to articulate my work-related values, strengths and overall career criteria. As we identified potential industries and roles that would be a fit, she provided valuable targeting and interviewing strategies to help stand out. I am now in a rewarding analytics role and feel confident in my new professional identity. Thank you Coach Campbell!

This was the first time I've ever done therapy so I had no idea what to expect. Abigail helped me deal with and process all of the different emotions and feelings I was experiencing. She's been an amazing life coach and has helped me navigate through the many changes I've made in my life. Most importantly she has been very supportive with my spiritual journey with God. I love her flexibility with being able to accommodate to my schedule to meet both in person and on zoom. I will continue to see Abigail and I highly recommend her to anybody looking for not only a therapist but a life coach.

    Abigail helped me out a little over a decade ago when I was at my lowest. She led me towards…read moregreater happiness, and helped mitigate one of my most traumatizing conditions. I leveraged her support again about 4 years ago while I was in a different set of struggles, and it brought me to a brighter place. Now I am in a position of needing to make some incredibly positive changes, and there's no one I would trust more to help me achieve what she has helped me understand is possible. She teaches lessons of caring for myself in ways that really resonate. When I think of typical support for mental health, it's so sterile and disconnected. But with Abigail, I feel like I'm more in tune with the world instead of alone in my own head. I see myself as part of a greater whole, and feel inspired to connect with both myself and my loved ones in meaningful ways. She doesn't hide her humanity to help those under her care, but lets it shine forth and inspire. I highly recommend those in need of guidance and support to connect with Abigail.

    Amy helped me turn my life around!…read more I was originally very apprehensive about the idea to seek help in a life coach, but this year I realized that at the age of 30, if I'm not happy with where I'm at, then I must be doing it wrong. I knew that I shouldn't feel like I should spend most of my days without passion, happiness, and energy on a daily basis. I felt like a was going in the wrong direction with my career, and really had no plan of how I could get out of the rut I was in. My first session with Amy was so valuable, that if I never had another, I believe that it would have still changed my life. Amy didn't tell me what to do, but instead helped me identify what I really wanted to do with my life, what was stopping me, and what to focus on to be happier. She helped me focus my disorganized thoughts and ideas into a cohesive and actionable plan that I could take step by step. Nine months later I've never been in a better place in both my professional and personal life, and the best thing about it is that I know that I had it in me to do it with her help.

I felt like I can tell her anything, and it's almost as if I were talking to a life-long friend. Her coaching doesn't stop at the end of the hour either. After each session, Brandy's always there to help or serve when I text or email her with something I'm having trouble with. Initially, I went in for her to uncover my blind spots, and even though she didn't say, "Josh, X, Y, Z are your blind spots," after each session, I'm always amazed at what I haven't been able to see myself. That being said, she's definitely given me what I was looking for, but more importantly, she's transformed my emotional, mental, and spiritual life. One thing to remember, though, is coaching is really a two-way street. At the end of the day, YOU have to put in the work and effort to further your own growth. If you don't care about your own growth, it doesn't matter how great your coach is... you will never grow. Brandy's job is to be the guiding light for your life, but it's you who still have to walk the path at the end of the day. That being said, Brandy will do whatever it takes to serve you, and it's something I always take comfort in whenever I go in to see her.
