I've never been to a life coach before and I don't have a religious background so I was a little unsure of how it was going to go. I've been wanting to adjust my spiritual relationship and Krista helped me put a whole new perspective on how I view spirituality and how I could open the door moving forward. I left the meeting feeling like I could look at my life with a new lens and a positive approach that was comforting. Going into the meeting, I wasn't sure that I had a lot to work on personally but left with the idea that there is always work to be done and that I will be on a continued path for the rest of my life. I will continue to work with Krista when I need to broaden my perspective and get help in my life and I would highly recommend her!

Gretchen is brilliant. Before deciding to work with her I reached out to a few career coaches. It…read morewas very clear they were in it for themselves and were going to help me "their way." When I found Gretchen it was CLEAR she knew was she was doing, could identify areas I was struggling (that I wasn't completely oblivious to), and was going to be there for me in the ways I needed. She helped me... 1) Launch a business 2) Focus on my writing goals 3) Organize and prioritize my tasks 4) Help me detach myself from commitments that were big time wasters 5) Realize my own worth so I stopped undercutting myself with my own customers Even after our sessions were completed, she still checks in on me. Gretchen isn't just a life/career coach, she's an invested friend. Do not hesitate to use her services. Couldn't be happier.

A couple of months ago, I came to a point where I was burnt out at my current job, but I was…read moreconfused about what direction I needed to go in and what careers I should be pursuing. I didn't want to go into another job and feel burnt out again. I knew that I needed help, so I started looking around Yelp and found Gretchen. There are a bunch of coaches out there. But Gretchen was different. In comparison to the others, she gets to know you, your situation, and your goals. Others, on the other hand, their first reply is how much they charge. While I was on my complimentary phone call with Gretchen, a ladybug landed on my arm. When a ladybug lands on you, it's considered good luck. I took that as a sign from the universe. To trust that this was what I needed. To let Gretchen help me with the areas of my life, I wanted to change. With her help, I figured out that where I was currently working didn't align with my passions and values. She helped me find the right career path and created a plan from where I was to where I wanted to go. My career path was that I was meant to be a writer. Being a writer was staring me in the face the whole time, but I wouldn't have ever been able to see it or accept it if it wasn't for the work I had done with Gretchen. She not only helped with my career, but she's helped me in other aspects of my life. She helped me realize that what I lacked in my life was confidence in myself. I didn't believe in myself and didn't do anything with certainty. Gretchen gave me the tools and techniques to build my confidence and to change my mindset. Now, I am excited about the new year coming and of all the goals that I am going to accomplish. My life is entirely different now, and it's all thanks to Gretchen and the work we've done together. I can honestly say that hiring Gretchen as my coach was the best investment I made for myself. She literally is the best. There is a reason she's a Master Certified Coach. If you're unhappy with your career, life, or confused about what steps you need to take, hire Gretchen. My review isn't a ladybug landing on you, but if you're looking for a sign, this is it. Invest in yourself and trust Gretchen to help you. You will not regret it.
