Julie is a nice person (which makes sense as she was a former elementary school teacher), but my…read moreexperience was that she is not a skilled life coach. Julie overpromised and undelivered. Initially, I chose her because of her 5-star reviews and because she claimed to be more available than most coaches, even offering daily text reminders and check-ins. I had to keep reminding her to text me and ultimately gave up when she neglected to follow through on her commitment over and over again. She failed to deliver accountability as promised and had very limited, basic tools that she repeated over and over again. Her coaching was redundant, disorganized, uninspired, and lacked clarity and focus. I hired Julie and paid her $3000+ for coaching services. I feel like I lost money, precious time, and energy. I felt so frustrated that we ultimately agreed to end our agreement two sessions early. A full refund would have been appreciated but Julie has a No Refund policy. Buyer beware. I have since hired a different coach who is significantly more skilled and have made more progress in the last month with my new coach than I did with Julie in over 6 months. YMMV.

Julie helped me shift my approach to everything in life. As a result of our work together, I feel…read moreconfident in my ability to process my emotions, exercise purposeful thought work, and practice mindfulness. Since working with Julie, I am a lot happier. My confidence and happiness infiltrates every other part of my life, which has not gone unnoticed by family members, friends, and colleagues. One major difference between now and then is that I no longer feel the need to avoid or reject my emotions. Now, I sit with my feelings, allow the emotions to wash over me. and think about why I might be feeling what I'm feeling... and so begins the thought work!

AnnMarie is absolutely amazing!!! She helped me dramatically improve my career, gain confidence,…read moreand feel happier! Working with AnnMarie was the best decision I have made for myself in a long time. I so appreciate her ability to dig into deep-rooted issues (like my limiting beliefs), understand why/how they present themselves in my life so I can overcome/accept them, then she helped me put an organized actionable plan together so I can go on to reach my personal/professional goals. In early 2021, I knew I needed a better job. I was really struggling, had extremely low confidence, lack of direction... feeling so sad. I decided to research life coaches, and when I spoke with AnnMarie, I knew right away that she was going to be a great fit for me. Her positivity, ability to understand both the emotional and career aspects of my needs, and business transparency, was why I decided to move forward with her services. In the first meeting, AnnMarie helped me hone in on my goals, (my north stars) that kept me moving forward for the next 7 months as we worked together. Each time we met, she kept those important goals in sight and helped me stay on my path. With her coaching and support, I was able to finally land a great new job (!!) - AND not only that I found joy and confidence in myself again along the way. I gained so much confidence and clarity about myself during her sessions, she challenged me to think deeply about my limiting beliefs and how I can reframe them so I am not defined by them. We did on the spot practice with tough interview questions or work situations, discussed family dynamics and how I can better approach them in the future, and assigned applicable "tasks" or follow up work that I could look into in between sessions (and she checked in on my progress to see how things were going). AnnMarie, is compassionate and thoughtful, she really listened and helped me stay on track with my goals. I have become a much stronger, more confident, and happier person because of my work with AnnMarie. I am grateful for her guidance and coaching - I would absolutely, 100% recommend AnnMarie to anyone in my life!

What an incredible honor to have found AnnMarie and work with her. When the pandemic had me…read morecompletely rethinking my career and also feeling incredibly unmotivated, I decided to seek out a business coach to help get me back on track. After interviewing with several and not really feeling like their services aligned with what I needed, someone suggested that what I really needed was a "life coach". "A life coach?!" I thought "that sounds so...fluffy". But after so many failed business coach attempts I decided to Google "life coach Seattle" and found AnnMarie. I was drawn to her experience as a therapist and a life coach and we set an appointment. I cried when we finished - she asked questions of me I hadn't ever considered before. That no other business coach or leader had asked of me. I knew immediately I would hire her, but what I didn't know then was what an incredible impact she would have on not only my life but my career. What I realized after we started working together was that the business coaches were so narrowly focused on just that - the business side of things. They could help me build out a plan to advance my career. But what they couldn't do was expertly blend that with what I was feeling and needing in my personal life. You see, the pandemic took me from traveling every week and missing my children's and husband's lives to being present at home. After a year of floundering I had to ask myself tough questions - was it time to find a different career that would allow me to spend more time with my family? But what about all of the hard work I poured into this career to get to the place I was? AnnMarie was there for all of it. She helped me strategize about what I liked about the family side. She pushed me to think about things in ways I'd never considered before. Prior to hiring AnnMarie, my husband would be my sounding board and after a year of hearing the same feelings surface over and over again, he and I both agreed that AnnMarie was exactly what I needed. So we started working together and we agreed on a set of goals and she set out to help me accomplish them, all the while taking detailed notes of our meetings that I could access through her Coach Accountable online platform (which I absolutely loved - all of our notes, goals, action items - all on a digital platform I could access anytime). When our first session of 5 was complete I realized two things - I not only accomplished the goals we set out to accomplish together and felt better at the end of those 5 sessions than I had in 12 months, but also that I absolutely needed AnnMarie as a sounding board on an ongoing basis. So the end of our 5 sessions began a relationship that has now spanned many many months together. AnnMarie has helped me navigate my career - everything from working through whether to stay or to go (I chose to stay, and she helped me realize I actually could have both family and career - I just needed better time management), as well as how to navigate a job offer that came quickly on the heels of deciding to stay (which, I am convinced the job offer was largely due to the confidence I now felt after working with AnnMarie). All through this I have been so grateful to have someone by my side, expertly guiding me through these major life decisions all helping me do it with ease and confidence. She has also been an amazing advocate in my personal life. She's helped me improve communication with my husband and create a way to think about calendar blocking and time management that has improved my efficiency at work and as such, has given me more time with my family. I can't speak highly enough about AnnMarie. If you are thinking about a life or business coach, set up the 20 min free session and get to know her. You won't be disappointed!!!

Firstly, my 4 star rating would be a 5 if I could see Colleen in person! What a find she was 1 year…read moreago! Colleen has been my lifeline and support system in both New York and Austin and always makes herself available with flexible appointments via skype or phone. Through productive tools and real discussion (not therapy mumbo jumbo), Colleen has helped me navigate through many situations from relationships, darkest hours, professional and personal challenges all with an eye to moving forward and growing. What I enjoy about Colleen's coaching sessions are they provide a therapeutic environment but never dwelling on the negative, it's more about refocusing and being productive in your own thoughts and making plans to succeed. I really appreciate Colleen's style as a coach, she truly feels like a friend and I now have tools to work through challenges that make me a more positive person as a whole.

I originally came to Colleen in hopes to find some clarity in what my next steps should be in my…read morecareer. I had just left my job and I knew I didn't want to just take another job for a job but find something that I would really love. In my first conversation with Colleen she asked me to close my eyes and visualize what it would be like to work at your dream job, be surrounded by smart people, and truly be excited about the work I was doing. It's hard to describe how I felt after that, but I just felt relieved, and could actually envision what that scenario would be like. Colleen positive attitude and ability to relate to my experiences has given me the confidence to use her techniques and advice in real life situations. Overall I just feel very comfortable opening up to her, as I can tell she genuinely loves what she does and is passionate about helping other people find their ways. I am excited to continue to work with her and see where her guidance can take me.

Coaching with Kathy Clayton has had such an invaluable and beautiful impact on my life. I reached…read moreout last spring, when I had hit a mental low, and knew things needed to change. I look back at the person I was then, and I don't even recognize her. Being vulnerable enough to change is extremely uncomfortable for me, but Kathy met me where I was at with such compassion. She has an unbelievable ability to educate, question, and motivate with both comfort and firmness. Kathy is extremely intelligent and brings the energy and insight that is needed for all kinds of situations. (I love her creativity and sense of humor too.) Because of our work together, I can now face life's challenges more more self awareness and courage than I ever thought possible. Thank you, Kathy.

I always feel supported and heard when we discussed my goals and how I can move toward them. I have never felt judged or dismissed as I have in the past when working with another coach. It has been my pleasure knowing and working with Karen over the last few years and I have grown so much as an individual with her caring guidance. My "Aha!" moments seem to come much quicker than when I worked with therapists. I think this is because of her communication style and the connection she creates. Being able to move toward action sooner, has helped me reach my short term goals much faster than I have before, moving towards my ultimate long term life goals. Thank you Karen for being so inspiring and passionate about helping me spring forward into my future. I appreciate you beyond words.

Being coached by someone who has done the work is refreshing- her point of view on family, gardening the earth, and loving your self and having fun have always stood out to me- you can't find a better person to help you level up. Karen has helped me change my mind. Something I could never do by myself.

Harriet is a generous spirit and she is a wonderfully capable person who is a great coach. I found…read moremy sessions with her to be heart opening and enlightening -- just the perfect combination to ask the right questions and push me along in the right direction. A bit of background on my situation: I'm 15 years into my career and have followed a certain path with a newborn now in my life. I will admit there were moments in one session where I just wanted assurance that life would be okay (I did not realize how many moments like this motherhood would jumpstart). I've worked with a lot of coaches in my life, and I understand that it's not usually their role to say anything definitive, but at the right moment with the right amount of confidence, Harriet was that rock that helped me reorient myself in a really tough moment. Highly recommended! Harriet is a gem.

She sees me right through, even before I can see myself, and I always feel enlightened after our session. Working with Meghann is the best decision I've made. I'm immensely grateful for her.

She provided structure during our time together, opening each session by reviewing our goals and emailing me a summary of our session afterward. Meghann also did a wonderful job adapting her approach to what worked best for me. This was my first experience with life coaching but I can confidently say that what Meghann provided was much more than what I expected from the other coaches I was considering-- many of whom were quite young and had not received the in-depth coaching training that Meghann has.
