Sees everything one sided... nothing in life is black and white. She has her own unresolved mother issues from her childhood. Therapy is supposed to help clients explore their experiences safely--not push a narrative that always casts one side as the villain. read more

Torie is AMAZING! She's smart, thoughtful, and full of practical tools that make a real difference in how I parent my kids. I LOVE her coaching style. She helps me see my own thinking and figure out how to tackle my daily struggles with intention and proactiveness. This gives me a true sense of confidence. I have a 14 years old daughter and 12 years old twins. I wish I had decided to hire Torie years ago. Still, I am thankful to myself for deciding to invest in coaching with her now. This is a type of expense you want to spend your money and time on. read more

I have been working with Torie Henderson as a life coach for almost 10 years. Torie helped me so much in balancing my parenting goals for 2 children with a very busy career and a marriage. Torie is very down to earth, extremely attentive and creative in her suggestions and keeps me and my best interests prioritized in our discussions. I value her flexibility in advising me and coaching me through so many changes and transitions in parenting, marriage, career, relationships with my siblings and even my friendships. Whenever I feel "stuck" in a period of change or difficulty. I always schedule a session with Torie and feel so much calmer and clearer and confident about next steps after my discussion with Torie - I highly recommend her. read more

I hired Torie to help me two different times in my life when I was struggling with some major life transitions and felt scared, overwhelmed and stuck.  By the end of our time together I was able to move confidently forward and felt excited about the future. It surprised me how quickly I was able to break free of the fears that had been holding me back for a long time. In both instances the changes I made because of my work with Torie led to a much better, happier life. I recommend life coaching with Torie if you want help creating actions to overcome fears that are keeping you stuck. read more

I'm a big fan of Torie's work. I really appreciate her process. It's essentially the same each time you meet with her and she teaches you how to use it to ultimately coach yourself. You leave each call with a piece of "homework" to practice the following week. Beyond the process of life coaching, Torie specifically is incredibly strong, smart and compassionate. I've never felt judged or pitied by her but instead fueled by her compassion and belief that we can all experience more joy. She offers clarity and I walk away feeling more calm and at ease. I've also benefitted from her group coaching work and I'm a big fan of her podcast where she offers a parent educator and life coach perspective. She's just really good at providing structure, compassion and being real. I'm also impressed with how science based her work is. read more

Torie was recommended to my by my mom, who also worked with her. I was considering a career change, having a bit of an identity crisis, and dealing with lots of anxious feelings around uncertainty. Torie helped me get to the root of these feelings. She coached me on how to consider the possibility of different changes to my circumstances and to change my thoughts about my circumstances. She also taught me about different energy levels you live in, and how to have "mantras" about life. I have learned a lot about myself during our work together, and I feel so much happier in all aspects of my life. I have learned some great coaching skills from her, so when our sessions are over, I have the tools to continue this work for myself throughout different phases of life. I look forward to our calls every week knowing I will learn something about myself and walk away feeling empowered! read more

I reached out to Torie after finding her podcasts because I knew that I needed help to become the parent I wanted to be. In the six weeks I have been receiving coaching from Torie I have started to become a better parent and gentler with myself - most importantly, the strategies and tools that Torie provides will continue to help me after the coaching is over. Torie is kind, non-judgemental, empathetic and insightful. I look forward to our weekly meetings because I know each one will lead to more progress in areas I had not even considered. I feel so grateful to have taken this step that has helped me get unstuck and is helping me become more myself and who I want to be. Would highly recommend Torie's coaching to others looking to make meaningful change. Torie is amazing! read more

Going from stay-at-home mom to owning a business -a restaurant no less, I was losing control of everything. At my worst possible rock bottom I found Torie. I've heard great things from other moms in our community but was skeptical since of course my situation was uniquely more tough than most ;) I called her. She immediately could tell I was in trouble and took me on right there over the phone. She was born for this. Her voice is trusting, accepting and soothing. I unloaded a lot on her. She listened, then took a deep breath, took a second to compose, then with a smile I could hear through the phone put me back together piece by piece. Torie is of our community and knows our immediate struggles. She has the training as well and can teach how to approach life, how to see things in new ways offering a 360 view of what's really going on. Sometimes we are too deep in the forest to see the trees. Torie showed me how to perceive my life and how to use what I already have. She acknowledged in me strengths I didn't know I had or wouldn't have acknowledge myself. I think all moms do so much and rarely bother to take credit for or reward ourselves -even just to acknowledge our amazing efforts! Again, I think I had industrial strength issues going back from childhood to current major family drama. She's someone I look up to and admire with the authority to advise with incredible depth and care! I cannot recommend this woman enough! Do not go it alone, get strong with Torie! read more

Torie is an incredible sounding board, mentor and teacher. I originally reached out to Torie because I was feeling overly anxious, burdened with guilt about not being a good enough parent, employee, wife, daughter, friend... I honestly wasn't sure what I wanted to get out of the experience but I knew that I needed someone who would really listen to me and would help guide me through this challenging time in my life. I had tried to go it alone for so many years but I would fall back into the same slumps and spirals. I was bored of the pattern and to be honest, the stress I was putting on myself to be perfect was impacting my health. On the eve of my birthday, I decided to give myself the gift of a Life Coach and I stumbled on Torie upon recommendation from a friend. Rather than going out and buying myself a new purse or fabulous dress, I decided it was time to start digging in on taking care of myself for real. Torie helped me figure out what truly makes me tick, what I am good at and how to look for my life's purpose. The path I am contemplating taking, after my weekly sessions with Torie for only 6 months, is one I wouldn't have predicted a year ago. I think I wanted someone to make me feel better and make all my worries go away. Of course that isn't what happened! Even better, Torie helped me by giving me tools and strategies to use in various situations and I find myself using them on a daily basis. I am less likely to fly off the handle, I am overall more thoughtful and deliberate in my actions and reactions, and I am more likely to take risks and forgive myself for mistakes along the way. I am now leading by example and I've noticed positive changes in the way my two young sons and my husband operate in the world as well. Where there was conflict, there is now curiosity, forgiveness and tons of growth. If you feel like you need a push to get yourself to the next level, if you feel overwhelmed by all the noise of work and parenting life and want to cut through it all to experience a more fulfilled existence, you should go for it and reach out to Torie. She will help you transform your life in ways you can't even imagine. I feel as though I've only scratched the surface of learning to see the world through a different lense and I'm excited about the challenges that lie ahead. With Torie's guidance, I feel energized, confident and curious rather than deflated, scared and burdened. I have a long way to go to achieve my goals, but I feel as though I have the tools to make positive steps whereas before I was spinning off course and barely treading water. From the bottom of my heart - Thank You Torie!! read more

From the first phone call, Torie has been supportive and instrumental in my personal and professional growth. I can't believe the relief I have experienced since starting coaching with her. Torie has incredible coaching experience and quickly helps me to get to my main limiting beliefs. We work through the thoughts so I can understand what I am saying to myself. It's amazing how mean I am being to myself! Torie helps me to hear what my body is saying and then turn it around so I feel powerful and more in control. The time in a session with her is magic. Magic that continues throughout my week. My husband and my friends have all noticed how much calmer I am, happier I feel, and my son has gotten a much better mommy out of me. I would 100% recommend Torie to anyone looking for more clarity and understanding of their thoughts and feelings. Thank you Torie! read more

Torie is so wonderful at what she does. I worked with her to help gain some sanity in dealing with my two young sons and it helped so much. I only wish I could just afford to have her support weekly forever. She is a wealth of knowledge. Also, she is great about working with schedules. read more

I was very fortunate to find Torie during a difficult transition in my life. Torie is honest, intuitive and caring. Her thought-provoking approach helped me identify old patterns that were keeping me from fulfilling my dreams. Torie has an amazing ability to ask insightful questions that help you look deeply into what is holding you back and aide you in moving past your fears. I was able to overcome road blocks and embrace my true talents and gifts to begin a new career. Working with Torie was truly transformational. She is a positive force and she was able to help me navigate through obstacles with strength and courage. I would highly recommend working with Torie. read more

Torie is amazing. We've done her time for the talk and girls leadership camps. She has a wonderful way of making tricky subjects comfortable for everyone. She instills confidence and positivity into tweets & teens during a man especially difficult time in their lives. I'd recommend to anyone with kids! read more

I have been through Torie's class "You Can Talk to Me" with both of my daughters. This is an amazing class, and I recommend it HIGHLY for girls going through or about to go through puberty. It's so much more than just "the talk"--Torie covers such topics as peer pressure and what makes a balanced relationship, how technology plays a part in these kids' lives, and even how to tell if you are reading social cues correctly. She makes what could be a dreaded conversation lively and interesting. Sarah Hinman read more

Torie has been a part of my life and my daughter's life for several years now. We very much enjoyed her online sex-ed course for parents and tweens and later, 2 separate girls leadership camps. I cannot recommend both more highly! Recently, I signed up for the Super Mom is Getting Tired life coaching program and I don't want it to end! After dedicating the past 15 years to raising my children, Torie is teaching me how to identify, listen to and get comfortable moving past my fears to pursue a life for myself. I am learning how to again put myself in the drivers seat of my life by dreaming big! Torie's warmth, energy, passion and dedication are inspiring and are exactly what I needed at this crossroads time in my life. Where I found traditional therapy sessions to be exhausting leaving me feeling raw and depleted, a session with Torie leaves me energized, confident and ready to take on the world! read more

After using conventional therapy for many years, I decided to give life coaching a try. Although each approach has its merits, I believe life coaching has been more effective in helping me to address my personal issues. Talking about your feelings in a traditional therapy setting is not the same as truly feeling your feelings in real life. This is a crucial distinction. Really feeling your feelings, and not spending so much time and energy resisting them, is what allows a person to release negative emotions and move on. This is what Torie Henderson expertly teaches her clients how to do. She gives you the tools to move on. What an important concept rarely addressed in the traditional therapy model! Once you have the tools in your emotional arsenal, you are better equipped to deal with the upsetting things that life throws at you, and you can use those tools on your own for the rest of your life. For me, working with Torie and learning the mechanics of " feeling your feelings" was synonymous with achieving peace. If you are a therapy veteran and just not achieving the emotional wellbeing you had hoped for, I highly recommend life coaching with Torie Henderson. She is wonderful, kind, insightful and entirely convenient since much of the work takes place over the phone. Life coaching with Torie has greatly improved my mental and emotional wellbeing and I can't thank her enough. read more

Torie Henderson is an amazing speaker! She is knowledgeable and insightful, and presents information in such an entertaining way that you will never get bored listening to her! She presented at our preschool's General Meeting (parents only) a few years ago about how to talk to kids about sex, and it was truly enlightening. In a society where the topic of sex and sexuality is taboo many parents are left without guidance on how to talk to their kids or even educate them about sex. It was refreshing to hear a professional provide guidance and insight in such unchartered territories. She is extremely charismatic, personable, funny and memorable. Torie will put you at ease instantly- she is funny and relaxed- you won't be afraid to ask a question. Torie's guidance and advice on parenting and child development is invaluable. I highly recommend her as a speaker and/or parent educator. read more

There are simply not enough stars here to adequately express how skilled Torie is at her job. She is hands down the best person I have worked with in this area. She has an innate ability to help you find exactly the answer you need, or the direction you need to go in with a particular issue. I like to say she helps you find a superpower within you. I feel like we all already know what this is inherently, but we can't always access it. Torie has this incredible ability to help you focus on this power and confidence and figure out what it is that you really think or need or feel. I can't say enough good things about her. I have worked with her for a while now, and I always get results after each session. I feel like a weight has been lifted off me and I feel super happy in the direction I need to go. This is just from ONE session. Do yourself a favor and give yourself the gift of working with her. read more

Torie's life coaching has been a great comfort to me in a time of pain and transition. She helped point me in the right direction when I needed to lift myself up and get myself back out there. She is kind and gentle and yet has a no-nonsense style. Her coaching has been effective and I am slowly regaining my confidence step-by-step. read more
