After suffering profound burnout and taking time away from working, I found myself considering a…read morecareer change but with no idea where to start. By some magic, I found Dawn's pivot program and it was AMAZING. Did she help me get my resume and cover letter in tip-top shape? Yes. Did she push me outside my comfort zone to get networking? Also, yes. AND -- she did SO MUCH MORE. Dawn's holistic approach to guiding me through this turning point in my career helped me actually look at my needs and values, and examine what I really wanted in my life. When I say "holistic," I mean she encouraged me to look at so many different aspects of my life and gave me the tools and the positive support I needed to go beyond just the job search. I made changes in my life I wasn't able to make on my own, even with my therapist's help. Dawn somehow is able to be both super supportive and incredibly efficient, helping me create an actual, actionable 90 day plan for how to move forward. I went into this process knowing I wanted to do "something different" and now I have a much stronger sense of who I am, and that's so much bigger than just a new job. I wholeheartedly recommend Dawn!

I was on the search for someone to help me navigate the next stage of my career, and I thankfully…read morefound Dawn after meeting with quite a few other coaches prior. I was specifically looking for someone that was open-minded, encouraging, but would also be willing to challenge me and keep me honest on my progress. I find that Dawn has a unique mix of abilities: - She sees the big picture and can help you envision your life beyond the next month or even year - She is realistic and can help you get back on track if you slip a little - She very quickly understands who you are as a person, and can potentially see things in you that you may not necessarily see in yourself - She brings a huge amount of positivity to help you pursue your goals I can absolutely say that I would not be as far as I am in my professional journey if it weren't for Dawn's support and inspiring encouragement.

I didn't know where to start, but I noticed that so many of Teresa's reviews had REAL results, like folks actually landing a new career after their time with her.

Basically, if you're on the fence like I was, just make the smart move and invest in Teresa's course. You definitely won't regret it!

As a mentor for a first generation college student, Chandy helped me navigate college, career mapping (I switched my major several times) and provided ample encouragement throughout. He was approachable, knowledgeable, kind and real. He always had my back and no matter how busy his own life got, always made time to show up. Because of Chandy's mentorship and coaching, I gained the confidence to try several internships throughout my time in undergrad, identify the career path I wanted to pursue, and ultimately land my dream job which at that time was in consulting. Chandy was a North star to me during my time in undergrad and continues to inspire me with his dedication to helping others.

So I've tried quite a few therapists and interventions and it wasn't until working with the…read morewonderful people at Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates that I really felt that emotional healing was possible and that I could start to see the light at the end of the tunnel following decades long depression. Havening techniques and other techniques have helped me (someone who defaults to over-intellectualizing) get out of my head and into my body which I've found is imperative for healing emotional trauma. With all that said I'm really here to share my experience with the Neurofeedback training done with Rebecca Turner. Having done so much healing and reprocessing through talk therapy, I still felt that my thought patterns were like a hose turned all the way up, whipping around, unable to catch, and control, soaking everyone around me. The initial brain mapping (which is done first to know what areas of the brain to target for training) reflected with tangible data what I was experiencing inside. Ms. Turner described it to me like "your two hemispheres are yelling at each other" which turned out to be one of the most validating things my brain has ever heard about itself. The neurofeedback training process itself is not as complicated and/or intimidating as the name sounds. If one is doing eyes open training, you essentially attach some small sensors to your head using a conductive goop and watch a tv show while the screen brightens and dims in response to the information collected by the sensors and neurofeedback program. For "eyes closed" training, you listen to lyric-less music while the music adjusts the volume to help train your brain. And it all works. I feel good about myself. Shame is now a passing emotion instead of a state of being. Rumination is down ten-fold as my hemispheres aren't "yelling at each other". My thoughts and feelings don't control me as much and/or send my on a downward spiral. If you are someone who feels your emotions are often become too much for you to handle that even standard therapy couldn't alone help, might I suggest neurofeedback?
