I was led to work with Mary in 2018 when I felt like I was at a standstill in my career. I wanted to explore options of going further into tech, but my intuition was guiding me to explore my spiritual gifts and start a side business. I loved working with Mary because she offers an emotional intelligent assessment at the start of our coaching sessions, which I found extremely helpful. The assessment helped to map out my brain profile and see my areas of strengths as well as opportunities for growth. By 2020, I turned my side business into full-time and it grew with great speed. So much so, that I had ideas to scale and start a new business. I decided to work with her again in 2022. We did another brain assessment as well as leadership profile. I was surprised to learn that my profile had changed after much had changed in my life. We referred to these reports along our coaching sessions to help me integrate the lessons I needed to learn in my journey. Mary's intuitive guidance and business expertise were so not only influential for my professional expansion and development, but also my spiritual. She is a heart-centered, well-read, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the different tools she utilizes that are data-driven as well as spiritual. My most recent session with her involved a card reading and symbolism. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to start a heart-centered business and lean into their intuitive abilities! read more

I was reviewing my notes from an October 2019 session with Mary and at that time I was disoriented and really scared about my future and life's work. The notes were categorized into three groups: things I am ready, able and willing to do; how I want to feel in my work/career; and what my work/career looks like. Fast forward to June 2021, and each and every one of the items in each category came true. It's uncanny, really. Planning, intentions, manifesting and lots of love and patience takes time and it works. This work means something, more than something, and I'm so grateful to share my journey with such a kind, loving and gifted facilitator. Namaste Mary, namaste, xo read more

Every traveler needs a trusted guide. Two years ago, I met Mary at a critical intersection in my life both personally and professionally. I had a strong vision, yet my old tools and thought patterns weren't getting me there. I needed new tools to find the path there from a wise source I could trust to really walk with me and have my best interest at heart. Mary helped tone my intuitive muscles that my Type A, analytical brain had taught to doubt and diminish. An incredible listener and strong communicator, she taught me to navigate my emotions, thoughts, body, actions and intuitions more effectively so that I could see and act on my circumstances, relationships and decisions with greater clarity and confidence. She's seen me through 3 pivotal transitions, all with outcomes I feel confident were most aligned with my vision and myself. Most importantly, Mary has become a trusted confidant on whom I could to rely to help me discover the answer - and then do that better and better every time. Mary's genius lies in her extraordinary generosity, teaching clients how to see through fresh eyes for ourselves rather than telling us what to do. She's not the coach who will give you just enough so that you return to buy the next session; she's the coach you'll want to walk with you through the short or long haul, whatever it takes, because you'll trust she has the skills and integrity to walk effectively with you. She's a curious, continuous learner in her own craft and unafraid to go to the depths or heights necessary for the best discovery. She is also just fun to be around, loves to laugh and a positive breath of fresh air. In the 21st century, I believe managing ambiguity is our greatest needed skill. We need more authentic voices and Yoda-like teachers showing us how to navigate uncertain paths and adventurous invitations. I'm profoundly thankful that Mary is here to help. I doubt much time will go by before Mary Welty-Dapkus is a well-deserved household name. read more

I've known Mary about 3 years and have participated in most of her offerings, including the Wisdom Circles, group and 1-1 coaching, her annual Book luncheon, and various workshops. When I met her, I was in the valley of a major transition. While I am well schooled in personal development, know myself intimately, and a coach as well ~ having an outside, impartial, and skilled observer was invaluable in helping me gain clarity and perspective as well as tools to investigate more deeply and/or to enable more effective action. Mary is open, accessible, warm, and easy to be with ~ all wonderful qualities when you're raw and vulnerable. Additionally, she is herself an avid and lifelong learner who's able to bring and blend a multitude of discourses, resources, and tools in order for me to uncover and accomplish what's needed for my growth. Mary is deeply intuitive, fiercely though compassionately committed to opening a path for my journey and evolution. I always leave her presence and her space having been seen, appreciated, and contributed to. read more

Mary Welty-Dapkus is a gem, a truly life changing and inspiring coach. Initially I was torn between her and the other coach, but the other coach turned me away when I shared I am hard of hearing. Mary has always believed in me from day one. With every session, I find myself more positive and confident when interacting with professionals in uncomfortable situations. She listens well and guides me in increasing emotional intelligence abilities and capabilities. All of our sessions put everything in perspective and I am feeling more self aware as a result of them, especially with my brain being conceptualized as the scientist. She's reminded me to take responsibility for and care of our own feelings. I have read other reviews and believed that they are true. I hope I can continue our sessions for the next year. read more

Mary is amazing! I called her out of desperation one day, with the panic that ensued out of everyday life, looking for a Life Coach to help me figure out what I wanted to know - something I knew I had inside, but couldn't bring out on my own. I decided to meet with her for 4-5 sessions, and I can honestly say that I started noticing the differences in my attitude and daily life after the first visit. Even better after 2-3. By the last session, I felt that I had what I needed, even though the "big changes" were still to come. She always sensed what to say. She had an uncanny way of knowing what I wanted to talk about. It was amazing what she gave me in 1 hour that allowed me to think and contemplate for weeks afterwards. Now, over 1 year after meeting Mary, I have changed my work, my home life, my eating habits, making me a much happier person overall, and better person to be around. She has taught me to observe myself for signs of what I enjoy and don't, what I need to change, and what I need to continue. Mary's influence is still with me day-to-day. I highly recommend Mary as a Life Coach. She also hosts monthly Women's Circles that are amazingly insightful and deep, for those of us that want to connect on a deeper level with like-minded women. I only wish I had more time to attend regularly :) read more

Ah, Mary! There is so much to say about her, as an intuitive coach, group facilitator and overall great human being. I have the privilege of calling Mary my coach and now friend. Her gift of listening, absorbing and reflecting is truly remarkable. She has taken me to new levels in my confidence and has helped me look within and create a "business" that speaks to and from my soul. I have had many one on one coaching sessions with her, in person as well as over the phone. I was not sure about working with someone without being in their presence, but her energy and expertise lends itself to phone and in person conversations. I also attended several months of group coaching with Mary, and that was another eye opening, educational experience. If you are looking for someone to assist you in what's next for you in your life journey, I invite you to STOP, look no further and schedule a phone consult with Mary! read more

I've known Mary for over 30 years and have always been amazed by her intuitive gifts and her ability to help guide my own self to being as amazing as it can be - she doesn't tell you what to do... she helps guide YOU to find the right path for yourself. It's hard to put it into words but she has the gift of being able to help you clear out the "noise" and find your true gift (and we all have one if not more!) that's always been there but you just had too much stuff layered on top of it to be able to see it - the AHA moments are just brilliant! She has been not only a friend but a mentor, confidante, co-creator, and a healing presence after a near fatal motorcycle accident which was a godsend during some very difficult times in my recuperation. If you are at a crossroads in your life - whether it be a relationship, career, health, or even if you don't know what "it" is - Mary is the spirit that can help you find direction in this journey we call life and along the way some heart happiness and peace of mind in the clarity that will come from your time with her. Seriously... just do it!! read more

My work with Mary has been truely invaluable! Mary helped me work through a significant crossroads in my career. With our work together, I was not only given the tools to make hard decisions, but I was able to be confident in my conclusions. I am so excited to embark on the new journey I found for myself, and I owe it all to Mary. read more

Mary is an amazing life coach and very intuitive! I stumbled upon Mary's MeetUp 5 years ago and was welcomed into her home with open arms, it was like I knew her already. I attended her Vision Board workshop in Jan. 2013, such a great way to kick off the year with a CLEAR VISION. Became a regular at her monthly MeetUp's and met the most amazing women in her circle. Also did some group coaching with her, which led me to meeting my business partner. We started creating our business vision and with Mary's help we launched Go2Galz in March 2016. Mary has been such a gift in my life and I am truly blessed to have found her through MeetUp! If you are looking for someone to coach and support you, then look no further "Mary is AMAZING"! Check out her Fresh Intuition Women's circle and you will see for yourself! read more

Mary has helped me to find my steps along the road of my life in a more tuned in way. Bringing context and meaning to my journey of life, she has allowed me to see all the silver linings in my challenges and through her example, lead a full creative life open to my intuitive messages and mantras. Thank you Mary!!!!! read more

I found Mary at a turning point in my life, and she shepherded me through the sunny times and the cloudy days. I saw her both in regularly scheduled Coaching sessions, at the Fresh Intuition Women's Circle, and actually, also in the Intuitive Gym I, with Keisha Gallegos. She is a mentor to me intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and creatively, and has huge wisdom in areas that I would love to know more about, so it's always a pleasure to get to be in her presence. She exudes warmth and joy and familiarity and gives the best hugs. Mary pretty much glows. I am a better person many times over for having her in my life. read more

Words can not describe the gratitude I have for Mary. I moved here 5 years ago from Chicago and needed a place of belonging and some direction with my transition. Mary provided it all for me with her monthly meet ups, small group coaching and one on one coaching. Mary is a brilliant coach, with a warm compassionate heart and a keen intuition. Through her groups I have met some really good friends, learned tons and now host the social wing of her Meet Up circle called go2galz with another member. If you are looking to learn, have fun and meet new like minded women or need some guidance in your life, look no further. Visit one of her Fresh Intuition Meet Up Circles, or try a coaching session to see why Mary is the best! Thank you Mary for being a great coach and dear friend. read more

Not only is Mary a breath of fresh air in any room but she has a way of bringing that air and light into the darkest corners of your mind and life. I have participated in both private sessions with Mary and the Fresh Intuition women's circle over the past year and I cannot tell you how much I have grown personally and professionally in that time. One hour with Mary is worth 6 months of traditional counseling in that rather than just ruminating about thoughts and feelings, Mary drives to the core of the issue exposing faulty beliefs and thought patterns that limit you. I have experienced multiple "aha moments" in one sitting with Mary's loving guidance, as have dozens of women I know. If you are looking for true authentic growth and development to create real change in your life, look no further. Thank you Mary! read more

Mary has been a fabulous coach. She's always there when I need her but never pushing me beyond what I'm comfortable with. She brings her own unique perspective to her work along with lots of interesting and diverse resources. Mary taps in to a part of my brain that otherwise would sit idle. I always leave my sessions with her feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and confident. Thank you for your guidance and presence Mary! read more

Mary is a bright, colorful lighthouse in the sea of self-discovery and inner wisdom. As someone who has experienced Mary's talents in tele-classes, personal coaching sessions, and meetups, I can attest that her offerings are beyond invaluable. She is an excellent and resourceful coach with great knowledge and tools to support her approach. She is also the mirror you always wished you owned - the mirror of accurate and profound self-reflection. Even in the midst of such complex topics, Mary still gets specific and action-oriented to help you put her teachings into practice in your own daily life If are a soul seeker or just someone looking for their next destination, let Mary be your flashlight. She will illuminate your path with spot-on intuition, keen perception, and heartfelt truth. read more

I have known Mary for about 6 months now and have benefited from every interaction with her...the Intuitive Gym, monthly meet-ups that she hosts, Book Your Vision Workshop, and private session. Mary has a wonderful ability to crystallize meandering thoughts to guide you along your path. If you ever have doubts about what you are doing or where you are going, connect with Mary. Your investment of a small amount of time will deliver powerful results. read more

Mary is an amazing coach and intuitive. She is incredibly perceptive, wickedly smart, one of the warmest people I know. I am a coach myself, and when I have an issue- I want my Mary. Really. She really helps me cut through the fog of pain and confusion that holds me back, and she can help me feel clear again in no time. Whenever Mary coaches me, I feel so much more confident and ready to go after what I want, with a clear path to get there. The fact that Mary is an incredible intuitive is like getting the best of both worlds- practical, real world direction mixed with intuitive insight. Two for one! I also attend Mary's Fresh Intuition Meetup- which is awesome. I leave feeling connected and refreshed, in addition to learning something new. I really can't recommend Mary highly enough- she is a gem and you will be lucky to have her in your corner! read more

Every morning in my email inbox is a "The Daily Dose". This is just a small snapshot that is Mary. A famous quote put with an original photo and viola...you have a great way to start your day! Mary is a life coach, but so much more. I have been to see her when I was at a crossroad in my life. As an intuitive, she may have known which direction I should take, and at the same time, she guided me to figure it out for myself. And that felt so much more authentic and genuine. A decision made that felt like there was no need to look back. Who doesn't want that? And to top it off, she hosts the Fresh Intuition Meetup, which draws amazing women and heartfelt connection. Sometimes she leads the topic, sometimes she has a speaker... Either way, I leave relaxed and feeling as if I needed to be there. To hear the discussion and to feel the sense of community. If you have any thoughts about whether a life coach is someone that could be helpful to you, Mary is the person with whom to give it a try. You won't have any doubts when you are finished after the first session!!! read more

I found Mary at a point in my life when I was going through a number of transitions and needed a third party viewpoint/perspective. I knew there was some changes I wanted to make in my life, but I wasn't sure exactly what tools I needed to get started. I sent an inquiry through Yelp to Mary describing what I was looking for, and I received a quick response in return. We had an initial phone screening to make sure that what I was looking for was a good match to Mary's skills. I liked the fact that she wasn't willing to accept any client - she wanted to make sure that the probability that she could help was high. Over the last 6+ months, Mary has introduced me to a number of tools that have helped me gain insight into myself personally and professionally. Based on my objectives, she's also recommended a number of great books for me to read - none of her recommendations have disappointed me. Mary offers a fresh perspective to the challenges I've faced. She doesn't offer solutions, because that's up to the individual being challenged... but she does offer an excellent framework to view your particular life situation and consider ALL of the possible options, including those that don't immediately come to mind. Mary is a catalyst to change in my life, and she's also a wonderful and caring human being read more

Mary is amazing! I found her though her meetup group and from the first moment I met her I felt at peace. Its like there is a circle of warmth, love and wisdom that moves around her and everyone that enters that circle suddenly feels calm and at peace. At the same time, through her I have met many incredible women and I have learned from all of them. I couldn't recommend her more! She is one of those extraordinary people that I feel lucky to know. read more

I have been seeking guidance from Mary as a coach and intuitive for a decade, and it has been a tremendous joy to grow alongside of her! She has expanded her practice continuously since its beginning, and provides a truly impressive range of tools and approaches. What I have found most profound about working with Mary is her ability to integrate the intuitive, somatic, and the metaphysical with the practical and the cognitive. So many of the strategies she has introduced me to have been genuinely life-changing, and remain an active and integral part of my daily life. It requires great trust and vulnerability to seek guidance from another person: I trust Mary implicitly and feel deeply blessed to receive her extraordinary wisdom and bright, bright light. read more

LOVE Mary!! She is fun, positive and energetic. Her energy is contagious and she is such a joy to be around. I have attended her yearly book luncheon, it is a great time to be had. In 2016 I am looking forward to attending her women's circle. I have heard the best things about it and can't wait to experience it for myself! read more

Really disappointed- I called left a voice mail and never received a call back. Bad business!

May's Fresh Intuition Women's Circles are wonderful! Mary is an amazing and heartfelt facilitator and mentor. She guides the women in her circles with ease, grace and compassion. The women who attend her circles are also wonderful, connected to each other and they and support each other. I highly recommend her group circles and events for women! read more

This is the most amazing woman around, loving, sensitive and so wicked connected! Her monthly meetups are the best way to connect with terrific women. Everyone that I have met at Mary's events are smart, creative, authentic and caring. I have met some amazing friends at this meetup, and I can't wait to attend each month. It's always different, always inspiring, and empowering. We learn about ourselves in such a way where there is trust, and no judgement - we can be real with one another in a loving and safe environment. It's a safe place to come if your new to the area, if you want to be around loving and supportive women, or you just want a place to come and have "me" time...this is the place. We gather in a loving and safe environment that is absolutely beautiful - and you know that every little thing is thought of through a loving heart that is embodied by an amazing woman, and her name is Mary! read more

Mary is gifted in so many ways. She radiates peace, wisdom, and joy. If you are looking for guidance--be it professional or personal--or looking for inspiration--or looking for a way to see the best part of you reflected back to yourself, run to Mary. I don't usually write these reviews--and rarely do I write them so glowingly, but all the accolades and compliments are true and real for Mary. I have never met anyone quite like her. She is wonderful. read more

I highly, highly recommend Mary as a Life Coach! I have worked with her one-on-one for a number of years and cannot say enough about her and her practice. Warm, witty and amazingly bright, Mary's soul-full approach to coaching leaves you feeling empowered, energized and ready to uncover and explore your heart's desire. She is AMAZING! I attend her monthly Fresh Intuition Women's Circle Meetup which gives me the opportunity to experience a different thought-provoking, inspirational topic at every meeting; her Women's Leadership Group to explore my "work" in the world facilitated by Mary in a small group setting with like-minded women and I subscribe to her Daily Dose of Vitamin C (Consiousness!) which shows up in my Inbox every morning giving me a quick "Ah-ha" to start my day. My view of my life and the openness and courage to explore more has been supported and guided in my work with Mary. She is a gem! read more

Mary is incredible! She's been my angel in helping me to sort through my life during a major transition from living on the East Coast for many decades, to relocating to San Jose. She's passionate about helping you help you! Mary's all about intuition and working with you as you tap into yours! She coaches in a non-judgemental, supportive and healing environment. Her wisdom and guidance have been a life-changer for me and I feel so fortunate to have found her! read more

I have been going to Mary's "Wise Women Group" for five years and I always come away with a deepened sense of life, knowledge and happiness. She creates an atmosphere where we can honor our whole experience in life. We witness glorious transitions and the hard ones too. I was lucky enough to be a part of her group coaching for 6 months and it was life changing. With the dynamic of the group, and Mary's outstanding insight, we all had fun and moved forward in meaningful ways. Personally, I was able to move ancient blocks, get rid of some fear and discover my own life path after more than a decade as a stay at home mom. Thankfully, I have also worked one on one with Mary, which is wonderful because she is so flexible in her talent. She has a gentle, laser like ability to see the forest through the trees. Recently she added EQ to her education and in just two sessions(take the test!), I was able to reevaluate the way I experienced myself and it absolutely catapulted me towards my own mission as a leader. Mary is the kind of person that is so totally trustworthy, that we allow great things to happen for us, in her presence. Thank you so much Mary! What a fun ride it has been, and I'm looking forward to many more! xo:) read more

I found Mary on the Internet. Wow! How lucky I have been. I was drawn to her because of her work with Martha Beck. I read Martha's book several years ago when I was going through a career and life transition. I am going through another career and life transition, and Mary has been truly an amazing coach. She is impressively intuitive and "got" me very quickly in our initial phone call, she summarized my essential self in 20 minutes on the phone! It has only gotten better. Our sessions are exactly what I need when I need them. She effectively and intuitively recognizes my needs for each session and asks the right questions to help me think and move forward. She is deeply passionate about her work and it shows in each session. She is supportive in all the right ways. She creates the space I need literally and figuratively. I look forward to our sessions as she has helped me come alive. She has not only helped me get through my transition but has helped me bring out sides of myself that have been dormant for years. I signed up for a 12 session package and I highly recommend her. It was worth every penny. read more
