If you want to get to the root of what has been holding you back, work through any doubts or fears…read moreso you can develop a road map for accomplishing what you have always wanted, but have never been able to, then gifting yourself with some coaching sessions with Kira is without a doubt what will provide you with the strategies and support you need to get exactly where you want to go! I coached with Kira in early 2013 as I embarked on a major career move. Kira's holistic approach dealt with all of the obvious, as well as underlying, road blocks I would have to work through in order to achieve my greatest success. Kira helped me develop an action plan that addressed the logistical elements of my new professional endeavors, as well as, with strategies that dealt with more of the social emotional side of making a major life change. I highly recommend Kira as a coach for any woman looking to make a change personally or professionally or even if you are just trying to figure out "what next?" I know you will enjoy each of your sessions with her and without a question you will have a huge fan cheering you on every step of the way!

I started working with Kira six months ago with the purpose of figuring out a career change, but it…read morequickly became obvious that I needed support in making changes in many other areas. And so, we dove in! Kira doesn't make you a different person, she helps you find and strengthen pieces that are already in there. She's gentle, but firm. She's not afraid to ask difficult questions and has an uncanny ability to listen and reflect and pivot on what you're saying to offer advice, practices, and resources to explore what's going on for you. Every session with her was invaluable (and amazingly different) and I hope to be able to continue working with her in the future.

I highly recommend Lucy - she is excellent at what she does and the choice to see her is one of the…read morebest I have made. Lucy is an empathetic listener who will ask hard questions (in a very kind way). She kept me "on topic" and accountable as I met my personal and career goals. She shared knowledge and resources relating to salary negotiation, resume building, LinkedIn and answering interview questions. Lucy helped me navigate a difficult conversation at work and I am truly grateful for her support in advocating and speaking up for myself. As we continued to work together, I further clarified my personal values, skills and strengths which gave me a clearer sense of purpose. I am no longer stuck in my head and am making active steps forward. If you are thinking of working with Lucy you should do it!! I am amazed at how much has changed for me over five months and how I feel so much happier, more confident and optimistic.

In just 8 sessions, Lucy gently helped me to figure out what I wanted from my life. I am blown away…read moreby how quickly my path has changed. I came to her feeling confused and a bit fearful, and just a few months later am feeling ambitious and excited about my future. I was just accepted into an amazing graduate program in nursing, a path that I had only vaguely considered prior to working with Lucy. I am confident that I would not be in this spot today, with a big door wide open in front of me, if I had not worked with Lucy. She is patient, intelligent, non-judgmental and most importantly - warm and kind. I can't recommend working with Lucy enough.

Thank goodness for Stephanie!!!…read more I decided to look for a life coach when I felt like therapy wasn't exactly what I was looking for (I had previously been working with a therapist and didn't feel it was the right route for me). I did some initial research online for life coaches in the area and set up a consultation with Stephanie, this was at the beginning of March. I have been chatting weekly ever since. I feel like Stephanie and I had an instant connection. She completely understood what I wanted to work on and helped me through some big life changes. Changes like losing a loved one (or two in my case!), looking for a new job/career, and everyday life struggles (trying to stay healthy, how to reconnect with lost friends, how to communicate better with my husband). She has been such a positive influence for me and helps me work through even the littlest of problems (without ever making me feel like it is a little problem). One of the many accomplishments we worked through was getting a new job! She helped me through "mock interviews", how to negotiate salary, and how to get through the first few weeks of work. I thought to myself, once I'm settled at my new job, I feel like I can stop working with Stephanie as often as I do. But I can't. I love her positive vibes, the way she can make me rethink a problem or issue, and that sometimes things that I may have not thought were bothering me, come out in our conversation naturally. Stephanie is easy to talk to. I feel like when I'm talking through anything, there is never judgement or criticism. Only positive feedback. And that's what has really made me love working with her. Now I've become a super positive person as well. Our talks have made me look at things or problems a different way and reevaluate how i can make my decision. Even my husband has noticed a change! I'm so grateful that in my "google search" Stephanie was there and I made the decision to consult with her. So to Stephanie: Thank you, thank you, thank you....You are the best! :)

She brings compassionate insight, warmth, and clear focus to each conversation, from the moment a coaching relationship begins. Her creativity, practicality, and most of all, sincere interest, shines through in every moment of working together. I've loved her ability to take a big-picture approach while also always guiding me toward specific strategies tailored to my personal focus. She has offered richly-layered philosophical frameworks as inspiration to guide our work together, introducing me to writers and visionaries who have transformed my mindset over time. Indeed, in each session, she has equipped me with practices that have felt immediately intuitive, and which I will keep as part of my daily life going forward. With her guidance, I've achieved aspirations, imagined new possibilities, and learned a lot through the journey. I am profoundly grateful.

I needed a new job/change in career, and so I began working with Sasha. I had never worked with a…read morecareer counselor before, so I was a little leery at first and wasn't sure how she could help. During our first phone conversation, Sasha asked me to define what I wanted to achieve during our time together. We came up with a list, 3 months later every goal on that list was achieved and I landed a new job in industry I was trying to break into. Sasha not only helped me achieve my goal, but gave me a great set of tools that will continue to help me along my career path. If you are looking for a change, but don't know where to start or what to do, Sasha would be a valuable resource.

I was fortunate to work with Sasha in the latter half of 2024 while struggling with some pretty…read moreheavy personal issues. Sasha helped me tremendously in getting "unstuck" - she has a methodical, caring approach, a seemingly endless set of tools in her toolkit, and an effective accountability structure. It is largely due to our work together that I was able to get through the outcome of the 2024 presidential election with not only my sanity intact, but a newfound fire and engagement that is sustaining me today. I recommend her unreservedly to anyone looking to take the next step in achieving control of their life and playing big for the future.

I am SO GLAD she was available to talk to me when I called her out the blue. Having someone who knows you a bit and has become familiar with your experience, strengths, and goals, is an asset to have during a career transition period. Overall, I have had a great experience with Karen and I am so glad I took the chance and reached out for this type of support. (My first time working with a career coach/counselor). Karen definitely cares about the success of her clients and is dedicated to her work. Some might think this type of support is expensive, including me, but in the end - I have definitely found it to be worthwhile. Work is a huge chunk of your life... and if you're unhappy or confused, why wouldn't you invest in something like a career coach? I have found Karen to be great at: - helping you identify next steps when you're stuck - creating an action plan that is realistic and useful - talking through/editing written documents to make them more effective - connecting you to resources (Karen often emailed me job opportunities that she thought might be a good fit for me! How awesome is that?) - offering a listening ear - asking important questions - helping you think about things differently, from a different angle - offering insight to certain fields and what the challenges are in that field (higher education in my experience). Thanks, Karen!

The insight she offers helps me recognize and appreciate the power and wonder of action as well as inaction. I loved the Pleasure and Ease Retreat Julie Ann facilitated in December. I had been skeptical about an online retreat, but it was such a refreshing experience... at the end of it I felt more alive and in control of my Self than I had in months. The Creating a New World course has helped me give myself permission and power to get through this pandemic, while giving me a real community to experience it all with. Since collaborating with Julie Ann I have learned to listen to parts of myself that I hadn't really realized were speaking. I highly recommend embracing any opportunity to interact with Julie Ann, whether in her classes, retreats, or individual sessions. I am definitely looking forward to exploring more with her.
