I can't recommend working with Devin highly enough. He's an extraordinary coach; I can't imagine there's someone better out there for me to work with personally, and I suspect this is something you'd likely hear from the vast majority of Devin's clients. I was referred by Devin by a friend that is a successful executive. At the time, was feeling overwhelmed by running my own business, dealing with a debilitating health issue, trying to improve a few professional and personal relationship that were suboptimal, etc. I met Devin on the initial consultation and almost immediately found it was incredibly easy to talk to him and that he understood my issues. Having worked with a few coach/therapist types in the past, I've found it can be exhausting when there is not a personal chemistry. Trying to explain your complex personal or professional issues to someone with whom you don't click is a drag of epic proportions, and Devin just seems to have a preternatural ability to understand exactly what you mean, or the underlying issue, of a particular issue or issues. During my work with Devin, we've covered just about everything you could think of; the operations of my company, how to improve my general organization, how to improve my bad back, learning to become less reactive in situations, improving a troubled family relationship, improving time management, improving health through diet/curtailing drug/alcohol, spiritual exploration through meditation, launching a new product etc. I think Devin's range as a coach sets him apart; he's equally comfortable getting in the weeds on business strategy or talking about a spiritual crisis and everything in between. I think for most of us these days the walls between personal/professional/romance/spirituality/health do not exist. One affects the other and Devin's approach is truly comprehensive. The common thread is that Devin helps to develop a framework to deal with something and a clear path of how to make progress. It's akin to getting new prescription glasses after your vision has gotten fuzzy; things become clearer and progress accelerates. Aside from just being a wise and talented coach, he's a great guy and fun to work with. My hour with him a week was just a fun time- something I look forward to each week. I will continue to work with Devin going forward and have recommended him to several people; working with him has been an awesome experience and I can't recommend him enough to anyone considering working with a coach to improve their lives. read more

Over the past two years, I've gotten married, divorced, moved three times, dealt with a parent's illness, and quit my job to attend graduate school for an MFA in Screen and TV writing. I graduate next month and wanted to work with a coach to weather the transition back to the real world. Confidence, diligence and purpose are paramount for any career, but especially one in the arts. In seeking a coach, I hoped to create a toolkit for maintaining momentum and perspective no matter the circumstances. The first activity Devin gives is writing out goals and lifestyle patterns. Subsequent sessions are structured around the progress of these goals and the analysis of patterns. Devin has incredible listening and detail-retention skills, and was often able to make connections that turned out to be key components in exploding negative patterns. Most sessions gave me an "aha" moment. It's hard work to be honest with yourself, but Devin is very compassionate. At several points, change required confronting rough questions, but I always felt nurtured, safe and accepted. The numerous techniques he offers focus on the positive, so it never felt like there was anything "wrong" or shameful, but rather limitless potential for improvement. I was constantly impressed by the variety of support Devin offers. He has a huge stock of practical methods to deal with all kinds of blocks, and is rigorous about checking in/examining their effectiveness, and trying new things if necessary. This was incredibly helpful in boosting my productivity and confidence. He also introduced me to many lifestyle methodologies and (for want of a better word) gurus, which have given me a greater sense of purpose. Since beginning our course of sessions, I have broken through a bunch of limits, including finishing several projects that were weighing on me and getting closer to my partner. Where I used to fear working and stress out about inadequacy, I have come to enjoy writing for the first time in years - and when I don't, I have the tools to get back to a positive, productive place. Devin has taught me to appreciate myself outside of my work, to get more out of my relationships and live true to my goals. I'm incredibly grateful to have worked with him. read more

2016 was a challenging year for so many of us, but it was this year that I decided to take things into my own hands, with the help of professional guidance. After some research on who to go to for some career coaching, and a little back and forth with a few of the top contenders, I took advantage of Lifestyle Integrity's free consultation. I was nervous. I'm not a natural "sharer," but Devin put me at ease immediately. I knew that I had to make the investment in myself, my growth, my future, and take the next step by working with Devin. I was pretty adamant that I didn't want our work to be focused on my fitness or physical self, as I felt my happiness was more deeply related to my career and how to make the five versions of my resume into one authentic "me." Devin was very respectful of that, yet he worked around my resistance by challenging me, asking me basic questions that I had to honestly answer and pay attention to. In the months that I worked with him, Devin touched me spiritually and mentally. He got under my skin. I felt that in our time working together, he knew me as well, if not better, than anyone in my life. There was one session, when I asked him about enlightenment, where I felt I had an out-of-body experience, as though I was watching our session from above. He is clairvoyant, magical, kind, loving, tough, and bull-shit free. Did I change for the better? Absolutely! Am I perfect? Absolutely not! But I feel more grounded, more centered, more forgiving of myself, and, was able to recognize and change patterns in my home life that were not healthy for me. I also let go of a faltering business, and am free to focus on a very exciting current artistic project (while still working on my day job). And, surprise, surprise, my physical self changed too. He's quite sneaky like that! If your own research has brought you to this review, do yourself a favor and meet this incredibly giving, understanding, and wise-beyond-his-years man. You will be better for it. I am. Thank you, Devin. I am truly grateful to you. read more

I am head of HR for Saban Brands and hired Devin to facilitate our Executive Offsite Retreat consisting of 11 divisional heads and our CEO. Saban Brands acquires, creates and develops a world-class portfolio of entertainment and lifestyle intellectual properties and consumer brands worldwide, comprising of Power Rangers, Luna Petunia in partnership with Cirque du Soleil Media, Paul Frank, Macbeth, Mambo, Piping Hot and Glitter Force, among many others. It was important to us to create trust, collaboration and team across our newly assembled Executive Leadership Team, especially as we build on the momentum of our upcoming global Power Rangers Movie release in March. Devin and I spent time initially discussing the focus of this offsite and together created an agenda. He then took the time to individually meet with each member of our leadership team the day before the offsite. This allowed him to hear firsthand the issues, improvements and areas of preferred focus for our team building day. The offsite consisted of an introduction, a mindfulness practice, a personal sharing exercise, an anonymous feedback discussion on the information Devin obtained in his one-on-ones the day before and closed with a focus on goals and priorities for the business, led by our CEO. Getting into a room to focus on team, strategy, understanding each other on a personal level, all in the setting of a beach-side hotel conference room, was just the focus and space needed to bring our leadership team together. It was very successful. Devin offers a unique approach to the meeting facilitator role, bringing mindfulness, human sense, conversation, life-skills and a personal approach to the event. The result is a more grounded, connected team who understands one another better. Devin's work extends even beyond the sole function for which he was hired and evolves to a relationship that he cares about and follows-up on, well after the offsite. Devin is highly recommended! read more

It has been about 2 years since I posted my review of working with Devin. I had always intended to update this review after letting some time pass, hoping that it would help provide more insight for you. I couldn't think of a better way to do so than to share with you a letter that I wrote to him. When I wrote it, I didn't intend to share it with others as it was a deeply personal experience for me. But it was also a very rewarding experience too. I think the following letter accurately reflects how I feel about my experience working with Devin, even after several years have passed. Whatever it is you're going through in life, know that you are not alone. I hope this helps: -------- Hi Devin, I just wanted to say thank you again for all the help you've given me over the past months. I have so much more internal strength and peace of mind today. More so than I thought I could ever have, especially more so than when I was going through bouts of depression or trying to get over a girl. I practice habits of gratitude and meditation so often now that it's almost second nature. And after doing these things for over a year, I see how simple and powerful these 2 habits really are. I've read and heard about these before our sessions together, but you were the one who showed me how to practice them properly. On top of that, what I think separates you from other therapists and counselors I've worked with in the past, is that you truly and sincerely listened. And you did it in a million different ways. And you never judged. You created a safe environment for me to express myself and grow spiritually - in my own way and at my own pace. I still read through your notes. They are rich with lessons that I continue to learn from even today. I cannot express enough in words how much stronger I am today because of your influence. Thank you for everything. John read more

I am a successful Entrepreneur and single dad who thought he had all the answers... until a few months ago. Without going into detail, I realized that my life was about to change in a major way and that I needed help to properly address that change and plan accordingly. I researched a ton of Executive Coaches until I chose to work with Devin. It is one of the best decisions I've made in years! I am only 2 months into his program and I have already started to see dramatic results! When I started working with Devin I felt lost. Now, once again I'm inspired, motivated and feel a renewed sense of excitement about the future. Devin's positive energy, superb listening skills, understanding of my business and personal challenges coupled with his focused guidance, proactive approach and ability to hold me accountable have helped me develop a greater sense of self-awareness and the ability to rethink the way I approach things. Always focused and pragmatic, Devin's ability to cut to the heart of a situation, deliver keen insights and give straightforward, down to earth guidance are teaching me how to see things in a different light. Our sessions have produced more than a few "aha moments" and have led me to a clearer understanding of who I am and what I need to do in order to live a more rewarding life. Everyone has challenges in life but it's how we respond to those challenges that either makes us or breaks us. I thought I knew what to do in almost every situation but the truth is, until I met Devin, I really had not clue. I only wish I had met him sooner! read more

I traveled to New York for a fresh start, but I was also stuck when I got there because I didn't know where to start to make changes. I got into the hands of Devin, who clarified how to make my dreams come true. He is an extremely smart person, and also wholehearted. This combination was great and made me feel understood, and made very easy for him to guide me step by step, to make positive changes, but also to make me believe that I could truly give my life a turn and free myself of my old way of thinking and got unstuck. Among his many attributes, he is extremely knowledgeable, assertive, straightforward and very kind, sincere and honest. My time under his coaching were really a breeze of fresh air in my everyday life, and everytime I left his office I felt confident, happy and empowered, having new ways to create my own reality, and believing that I had those tools and I could use them, even though I my old ways resisted them. He gave me perspective, but most important, he gave me power to take my life into my own hands, and he gave me power to make changes. Now I feel unstuck, and more than that, I have new tools to see life different and to make better decisions to start that life. I would invest AGAIN in this coaching if I needed it. Yes, is that good. I highly recommend one session, just to see his style, and try if it is a good fit for you. I am absolutely sure you will be hooked, and the outcome will leave you feeling ready to life the next chapter of your life. read more

I worked with Devin from September to the start of January 2017. At the time I started seeing him, I was 1.5 years out of college, had absolutely no idea what to do with my life going forwards career-wise, I was stuck, and had just moved back to the place I grew up in NYC. In his initial consultation with me, he verbalized with pointed clarity the main dilemma I had which I couldn't wrap my head around for years, and we started. He really hit the nail straight on the head when it came to verbally expressing what was keeping me stuck. With his insightful, tough love, absolute no bs approach, he provides the canvas for you to do the work you need to do to grow. He was also a mentor figure to me and the role model I needed at the time. He is able to see and bring out the best in you. I believe that much of my very recent success in in thanks to his sessions and thinking about what I've learned from him, even if I wasn't able or willing to take it in right away when we were finished. The notes which he sends after each session for you, are absolutely invaluable. They may be the truths you don't want to hear, but they are the truths that will lead you to grow. I still look at them once in a while to pick out the wisdom and nuggets that he customizes to your situation. I highly recommend him and his program to anyone who is stuck, or in a place where they can't quite connect the dots to move forward in their lives. read more

I recommend Devin with my whole heart. Getting to spend time with him and absorb all of his wisdom has been the best decision - financial and otherwise - that I have made. He has been the mentor I was looking for and did not even realize I craved. Just schedule that free consultation with him and you will quickly understand. His approach is holistic because his background and training comes from everywhere. I am someone who lacks focus. I will set those goals and then lose motivation or just plain forget why they were important in the first place. The weekly check ins with Devin were so crucial for setting those weekly intentions as well as tying it back to those larger goals I have for myself. He held me accountable with tough love and had plenty of wise nuggets. It has been so great to have such a grounded sounding board. There were more A-ha moments than I could count. Today I have deeper roots in my daily rituals, have modified my lifestyle in major and important ways, and feel like my soul is much more awake and not sedated like sometimes New York can do to you. Big changes were long overdue for me and Devin broke them down into bite-sized measurable pieces. He has been such a kind, warm, and humble person who had me feel like I came to the realizations on my own, but there is no way I would have accomplished all I have in such a short time without a spiritual cheerleader and intuitive guide like him. read more

I reached out to Devin after reading about his work in Fast Company: http://bit.ly/18yHuX0. I was happy in many areas of my life, but there were a number of things I wanted take to the next level or improve. Also, I needed an outside perspective on some professional dynamics with which I was having difficulty. I have to say some true transformations have occurred for me while working with Devin. This is in great part due to his ability to listen deeply and respond with meaningful and actionable insights on topics as diverse as corporate issues, health, psychology and creativity. I see the core of this coming not only from his knowledge and experience, but also the unique gift of being able to conceptualize possibilities that are tied to my specific goals and broaden them in ways that are inspiring and exciting. After four months I can list the results of losing 15 pounds, running two miles every day at lunch, eating healthier than ever, improved work relationships and greater professional empowerment, new and meaningful community connections (presenting a workshop on Innovation and Creative Empowerment) and an openness to building opportunities in new and integrated ways. At the end of the day, my sessions with Devin are extremely valuable. He is a great coach, powerful adviser, creative thinker and I always leave our sessions with new ideas which payback tremendously. read more

I honestly couldn't recommend Hana highly enough, and I have already referred one of my closest friends to her. I reached out to Hana initially for career coaching, and this absolutely was the focus of our sessions together for the 12 week coaching program. I originally trained as a commercial litigation lawyer, but was looking for a new professional pathway. Hana helped and guided me through this process in a way that felt very natural and supportive, to a point where I am able to continue on my pathway by myself. However, because of the wholistic nature of Hana's approach, we also worked together on some general life goals to help me reduce general anxiety and stress, and to feel a little more centered and empowered. This work together has been incredibly helpful to me, as Hana's pointers about how to incorporate mindfulness and relaxation into my everyday life have absolutely improved my life on a day-to-day level (as I think my husband and everyone around me can attest!). I can honestly say that I was someone who has traditionally been a little cynical about the idea of a "life coach", but all of my hopes and expectations were exceeded with Hana, whom I found to be a very reassuring combination of warmth, pragmatism, sensitivity and open-mindedness. Hana pushed me to think outside my boundaries in a very positive and supportive way. read more

Devin is amazingly helpful. Simple, direct methods that help you identify your core values and how to build a life that aligns with those core values, and holds you to account to your own goals. This is NOT therapy and that is a good thing! Devin helped me take my life from "I'm doing ok", to "I really love my life!" Not just about career (although for a high-achieving professionals like me- medical doctor- that's where we started, because that's where my mind thought I needed to start and my private practice is growing exactly how I want it), but really focused on ensuring your career is integrated into a beautiful life. His summaries of each visit are like a living distilled mirror of your own true self in your email inbox... I refer back to them all the time, and they help me map my focus. He has this incredible knack for pulling out the one quote from your own mouth that is the most true thing you said the whole session. I would recommend Devin for any high achiever (professional, CEO, entrepreneur, etc) who on the outside looks "successful", but feels stuck because the know they can offer more to the world. If your business/life is "doing ok", but you would rather really love your life and having a powerful positive affect on those around you (employees, clients, family, community, world) call Devin now! read more

I was at a place in life where I needed guidance on how to move forward. I found myself tremendously overthinking everything and worrying about others' perceptions of me...almost so much so that I began to exclude myself from many day to day activities. I had trouble creating deep relationships and didn't know how to "open up" to anyone without feeling judged. I had tried various therapists and felt as it I was getting nowhere. Just talking my head off with no real guidance or direction from anyone as to why I was feeling this way or what I could do to improve. A friend mentioned that I should find a life coach. After a google search, I decided to contact Devin. It was one of the best decisions I've made in life. He is truly a kind, generous, open spirit. Our sessions are filled with back and forth conversation about things I'm going through in life, how I should be approaching them, why i'm having the feelings I have, and what to do to improve. His notes he sends after the session stick with me...I read them over and over. I'm finding myself reflecting daily on things Devin is teaching me. My life is opening up and I'm beginning to feel like I'm more confident and can handle anything that comes my way. I would recommend him highly to ANYONE considering therapy or coaching. read more

Devin deals in personal transformation, and he's good at it. At the very least, he helped me right the course, which seemed impossible a year ago. I came to his program with a bag full of paralyzing problems, laced with confusion about where my life was heading. He quickly helped me sift through the mental clutter and focus on the foundational kernels at play. It's only been about half a year since first speaking with Devin, and my life is already remarkably different. I'm doing the things that I want to be doing and am happier and calmer for it. You'll see the value in working with Devin the first time you receive his post-meeting notes, and you'll probably save them for a long time because they're wonderful. Besides his own insights, the external resources he offers always seemed to be perfect for whatever it was I needed help with (food, relationships, the creative process, anything really). I still return to them today. Most importantly, for the rest of my life, I feel like I have a set of tools and habits for simplifying and getting to the core of what's making my heart sing and what's getting in the way. Can't recommend Devin enough. Sincere, compassionate, and nurturing of change, but also brutally honest when need be. Clear, focused, and intelligent the whole way through. read more

As the CEO of a growing education company (and a person on a never-ending quest for personal fulfillment), I cherish the time that I spend with Devin. He has an other-worldly ability to understand me and what matters most to me and to my business, and he helps me to articulate these issues and decisions in truly actionable ways. Devin's arsenal of knowledge and experience is incredibly diverse. From raw common sense and practical advice to intellectual theory and spiritual wisdom, he seems to draw on a never-ending supply of ideas, suggestions and resources that -- get this! -- don't just tell me what's wrong with me but actually support me in making the changes I want in business and life. Finally, by nature or practice (and he's had a lot of it), Devin is the embodiment of what I wanted every time I craved accountability in my life. Serious, without judgment; enthusiastic, without naivete; compassionate, without mushiness. From Devin, I learn not only how to live my own life better but how to bring out the best in those around me -- my employees, partners, friends, family, etc. There is still much work to be done, and I believe Devin wants to help me. I believe he has. I believe he still will. read more

This is officially my first yelp review. Until now, I haven't been compelled enough to even create an account. By no means is this review the complete measure of my appreciation for the work done with Devin Martin, but it's a start. I started the Life Integrity program over four months ago as a dude on the cusp of turning 40 who was spending his days working an unsatisfying job, indulging in unhealthy relationships, and deprioritizing the things in life I actually wanted to be priority. Here's the rub: I was totally aware I was in this cycle and still couldn't break out of it. Luckily, Devin's name is Devin, because my name is Devin and if we didn't share the name Devin I probably wouldn't have reached out for help. What I found in Devin Martin and the Lifestyle Integrity program was someone to ask the right questions, someone to listen, someone to do the appropriate pushing to get my daily, weekly, and monthly activities aligned with who I want to be as person. If my story sounds a touch familiar and you need help getting the wheels of your life back on track, whether it's spiritual, career, relationships, whatever, do yourself a favor and send him an email. You won't regret it. read more

I have known and worked with Hana Ramat on & off for a few years. She is an awesome person and a great resource. Do not hesistate to contact her if you have habits that you need to kick or desire to develop. She'll help you strategize a step-by-step plan to achieve your goals. If you've ever struggled with anxiety and are willing to do the work to retrain your brain (and body), Hana will take you on a journey to get to know yourself on a higher level and find freedom. Her approach is holistic but no frills. She is creative in her strategies and relentless in her encouragement. She digs deep to help you to see the motives behind behaviors. Highly recommend her for couple's therapy, CBT, health and career coaching. She is very well connected in the NYC and surrounding area and can get you to the help that you need if she is not the best person to address an issue. She will get to know you, provide a very thorough analysis and help you to stay on track. She is especially helpful during the inevitable backslide from goals. I cannot thank Hana enough for being the awesome person that she is and helping me and my hubbie in our pursuit of personal & professional growth with grace! read more

Devin takes the best part of therapy--the active listening part--and blends it with that feeling of sitting down with a friend who tells it like it is (and then holds you accountable for your life). Unlike conventional therapy which often left me feeling like I was spinning my wheels, Devin's sessions are an energizing mix of laying out the issues and coming up with actionable ways to fix problems or meet goals. Instead of pondering the "whys" of life, Devin's sessions ask "when": as in, when are you going to actually do that thing you've always wanted to do? Or, when are you going to STOP doing that thing that's making you miserable. Thanks to his unique mix of warmth, humor and realism, Devin was able to zero in on excuse-making in a way that made me feel supported, never criticized. And his deep knowledge of meditation and spirituality helped me see some issues from a "big picture" perspective--but never in a pushy way. By far, the best part of each session are his incredible "notes" he compiles and emails to you after you meet. These bite-sized recaps are the perfect reminder of the next steps you agreed to tackle before your next meeting. No forgetting. No excuses. read more

My sessions with Devin have been a real gift and I am grateful to those who pointed me in his direction. I was a disillusioned physician planning to take some time off to do some soul searching when some friends recommended that I work with a life coach. I was initially very resistant to the idea but wanted to keep an open mind. Even from my first conversation with him, I realized how much he had to offer. He was very easy to talk to and really called me out on my own sh-t. His approach is spiritually oriented and he has a breadth of tools that he is versed in that he is able to offer. The sessions and the notes he sends you are invaluable. You can sense his commitment and generosity from your first conversation with him. He really excels at what he does because he really believes in how much of an impact he can make. I came to him without much direction and he helped me identify the core issues that led to my aimlessness. Also he gave me some incredible skills and tools that have made a difference in how I perceive myself and the world around me. He has been an important part of the positive shift that I have experienced. read more
