To me, writing my own résumé was like cutting my own hair. You might think 'who knows your head…read morebetter than you?' but personally I find it comes out better if someone else with experience does it. Working with Madelyn and Nikki I encountered first-class people, top-drawer service, and a great outcome. My résumé got such a great makeover, I hardly recognized that it was me that it represented, it seemed like someone much more impressive. I was amazed that while the content was basically the same, the layout, and language was so much more eye-catching and compelling. Since I started using the revamped version, I've actually been getting more contacts, phone screens, and interviews. Coincidence? TBH I don't know but I'm glad I took the step to get help from Madelyn and Nikki. As others have said, there are lots of people offering to re-do your résumé and it's hard to know who to trust. I'm glad I went with these guys, however. They really get it, their creativity, professionalism, and enthusiasm are hard to top.

In 2020, when I left social work behind, l didn't immediately search for the next job. Instead, I sought resources to help me find myself and uncover my true purpose in life. That's when my good friends, Nat & Dan, recommended A Path That Fits-a career und life coaching program that truly made a difference in my journey. From that moment, l knew I was heading in the right direction. I am not here because I needed a JOB... I am here because @connectmortgagegroup and I - ARE MEANT TO BE HERE!!! This passion has started since 2004 when I started as a part time College Student and part time Loan Processor. If you're feeling lost, stagnant, or even complacent, turn to prayer-and if you're looking for additional guidance, I highly recommend A Path That Fits to help you discover your true purpose and calling, one that brings you 1000% happiness!

I had a career journey that was a bit different and Lucas gave me the confidence to put my best self out there. Lucas is a genius when it comes to resumes, LinkedIn updates, interview prep, and cover letters. The interview process was where I was the most nervous but with all the tips and tricks Lucas provided I was extremely confident during each interview as the prepping really paid off. While going through interviews Lucas was extremely supportive and flexible with his schedule to ensure I was ready for every round. I received an offer and I could honestly say I could have not done it without Lucas's support and guidance. Thank you Lucas!

I toyed with the idea of making a drastic career change but was paralyzed with indecision for a while. I figured I should probably find a professional career coach to help me get some clarity, and that is when I met Lucas. Lucas took the time to really try and understand my career situation, so that we could formulate a plan that was unique to me. We started with career aptitude tests which helped me learn more about myself. We defined and prioritized my career goals, and explored the many paths I could take to reach them. Also, Lucas is a resume magician, transforming my plain, wordy resume into a much more impressive, concise one. He also helped me with my LinkedIn profile which I appreciate since I am a total LinkedIn newbie. He basically did almost everything he could to set me up for success. I highly recommend Lucas whether you are starting out in your career or changing your current career path. He can provide the support, insight, and accountability to help you achieve your goals.

Seven years into my career in tech, I came to Brandy feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and genuinely lost…read moreabout what kind of move to make next. I had passions and ideas but no framework for sorting through them. That's exactly where Brandy excels. She brought structured thinking and concrete frameworks to our sessions that helped me cut through the noise and actually make decisions. Beyond being an incredibly capable and intelligent individual, Brandy is kind, funny, and understanding. The progress I've made has been remarkable. I'm now actively prototyping different career paths at once: pursuing a Master's in Art Therapy, working at a high school in San Francisco, and doing strategy & operations consulting for Planned Parenthood affiliates. I was hesitant to invest in coaching, but I no longer have any reservations about that decision. If you're feeling confused, stuck, or unsure of where you want to go, I can't recommend Brandy highly enough.

Just ten…read moreweeks after my first session with her, I've already made huge strides toward a life that is more intentional and in alignment with my values. I'm all around feeling more ease and infinitely less stress and anxiety, even knowing that there are still some difficult decisions ahead. Brandy has given me practical and actionable advice with equal parts encouragement and nudging me toward what I want for myself. I look forward to our sessions - they tend to lead me down a path that I wasn't expecting, in the best way possible. She's empowering, smart, intuitive, and organized. I highly recommend Brandy if you want to move toward a more intentional life that reflects what you want for yourself and need a coach and cheerleader encouraging you along the way.

One day, I reached out and was connected with Tess Zeito. Our first call was serendipitous - I knew at the end of the 30 minutes that we were meant to work together and meet. I started with the 8 weeks plan with the option to extend. I am finishing up my 8 weeks and I put in the work and stayed committed to working with Tess every week. I feel transformed, empowered and have so much clarity. I trusted the process and now am going to extend my time with Tess as there is more ground to cover, especially around professional development. I am so glad Tess is my life coach. She helped me transform and get out of a fear loop that was holding me back. I am beyond grateful to Tess. Thank you.

She provides great tools and insight in all facets of my life in such a short amount of time (6 months). Before meeting Leah, I was lost and confused with my career, love life, and self worth. She helped nourish a certain part of me that I was always reluctant to feel and had a hard time in trusting in myself. She also empowered me to make the necessary changes and gave me the right tools to tackle all that problems that hindered my personal growth. She is extremely intuitive and empathetic in her methods of coaching and it made our sessions highly productive. I cannot thank her enough for the development and progress that I have made for the last six months.

Earlier this year, I found myself at a crossroads in my career. I had worked hard to become a…read moreProduct Manager and, while I found success, I also faced some real challenges. Being a new father, balancing work and life as a PM was tough--and on top of that, I wanted to master my current role so I could confidently move into the next phase of my career. I reached out to my mentor and dear friend Vikas, who suggested I connect with Merideth. I'm so glad I took his advice. What I appreciated most about working with Merideth was that she didn't just side with me on every gripe or frustration I had. Instead, she offered a fresh perspective that challenged me to see things from a more balanced viewpoint. She then helped me develop skills to address these challenges constructively, empowering me to manage difficult situations with more confidence and clarity. Merideth also helped me carve out the time and space for self-reflection and discovery, allowing me to dive deeper into understanding my strengths and what truly brings me joy. This led me to realize that much of my focus had been on trying to conform to what I thought others wanted, rather than leaning into my strengths and passions. Merideth helped me build a framework to approach career decisions with confidence--both in my day-to-day work and during my recent job search. This enabled me to be selective about the opportunities I pursued and comfortable walking away from those that weren't the right fit. If you're looking for a coach who can help you grow in your career, I can't recommend Merideth enough. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to hear more about my experience, or contact her directly. You won't regret it.

When I started to think about how and when I would re-enter the workforce, I hit a mental block. I didn't know if I wanted to go back to lawyering or to pivot to something new. I also wasn't sure how I would focus my career exploration, in light of the time constraints of being home all day with two small kids. I engaged Merideth for a 3 month coaching program to help me navigate these challenges, and I am so thankful for my experience with her. Merideth helped me gain clarity about what I want my life to look like once both my children are in grade school, and how I want my work to fit into that vision. Through working with Merideth, I was able to assemble a list of career "non-negotiables" with respect to the skills I want to use, the values I want my work to reflect, and the way I'd like to structure my work schedule. Moreover, Merideth and I fleshed out concrete ways of exploring my interests in small, focused steps, and compiled a list of concrete career ideations about which I am truly excited. In addition to helping focus my career planning, Merideth helped me work on my mindset. Even though I am an accomplished person who has met "long shot" goals in the past, it is a major challenge for me to imagine I can curate a career I am passionate about, and in which I have control over my time and energy expenditures. Merideth helped me with this mindset shift (and I continue to work on it). Merideth also taught me about the "negative tapes" we all play in our minds, and how it is possible to re-record them. Doing this work required more vulnerability and self-reflection than I initially anticipated, but it has empowered me to indulge interests I'd long dismissed as "impractical," and to see new possibilities for myself. Merideth is warm, friendly, caring, and a great listener. She is also an excellent accountability partner. The process of completing her Career Compass exercises was so thorough, I have peace of mind that I have left no stone unturned in examining my values, skills, and preferences. I am also so grateful to her for continually reminding me of what is possible, and that I am capable of having a satisfying career that is compatible with the personal demands of this season of my life. Thank you, Merideth!

I had my first Reiki session ever with Elizabeth and absolutely loved it! Elizabeth is really warm,…read morewelcoming, and shared information with me after my session that deepened my knowledge of self and where I needed inward healing. My session was 90 minutes. Going in, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I did already believe in the healing power of Reiki. Long story short, I have had long term chronic pain in various areas of my body for over a decade. I was interested in whether Reiki could help me release the tension in my body and help me relax. At the start of the session, Elizabeth asked about what brought me in and what I wanted to focus on. I shared the following: - For 4 years, I have had a lot of pain in my right side body, especially along the right side back. It hurts when I stretch. Lifting my right arm would produce a clicking noise. - I have had TMJ for over 11 years. - I had a strange experience a few months prior, where I entered meditative state by chance, during which I was able to release ~80% of the pain in my jaw and upper neck. However, I still dealt with residual pain at night. The pain does return if I'm particularly stressed. - Lastly, I have an overactive mind, and it was difficult every night to shut down and fall asleep. When the session began, I relaxed almost immediately once Elizabeth laid hands on my left side. Usually when I close my eyes and try to relax, my face and body won't stop twitching and tensing for a very long time (hours). It's especially hard for me to relax my brow, right jaw, right temple, and eyes. Thus I was very surprised to feel the tension in my face melt away within minutes, and I was able to enjoy the rest of the session with a clear mind and relaxed face. The most notable sensations I felt were in my belly, my right knee, and back of my feet. At the start of the session, it felt as though space was being created in my belly, right above my navel -- and I felt positively giddy, causing me to smile. Later in the session, Elizabeth had placed her hands on my knee and then moved on to another area of my body. However, I continued to experience the sensation of weight and warmth on my knee for a long time -- same thing with the back of my feet. I initially thought that she placed a heated bean bag on my knee, but I later realized that I was feeling energy. After the session, the pain on my right side body was completely gone. I could lift my arm without pain, without clicks. The day of the session, I was in the most relaxed state of mind that I had experienced in years. If a thought came up, I could let go of it easily. I didn't have thought patterns that came up and stole my attention that day. I slept very well that evening. The following day, I went to yoga like usual -- and I could stretch SO FAR on my right side. Still no pain. I'm definitely returning. Elizabeth is a bright light and a gift!
