Coaching Testimonial

Client testimonial of
breakthroughs after her FIRST coaching session

"Now so much has lifted!"

After we finished our session, the first thing I did was go for a walk in the park with the dogs. I started to process what we talked about. I decided I needed to take my power back, like, ‘That's enough!’ I said to myself, ‘You know what, you are the only one that can shift this. This is all on you, so get it done.’ I was able to pull it back to where I know I have the strength.

I've worked so hard on myself, on things like self worth, self love, and even to be able to express them to other people. I’ve been stuck for the last 6 months. After the session with you, it just stopped right away. It just shifted.

And you know, I have had this pain in my neck that went all the way down. I mean, I've been seeing the massage therapist, the chiropractor, you know. They all get it to this point right, but it’s still there. When I was walking through the park, processing the session, I could actually feel it untwisting in my neck. And I'm like, ‘Oh, okay, that was what was there.’ I've never felt anything like it! It felt like a string unrolling, it literally fell right off.

The last couple of weeks since the session, I figured out where I needed to set boundaries with people in my life, and I found that there were a lot of boundaries! Not just with my adult kids, but other places I needed to pull back my energy. Breaking the patterns of some of the things that I do on autopilot. I had to stop and go, ‘Okay, well, who's benefited? Who are you benefiting? You're not benefiting yourself. You're actually benefiting the other person because you're keeping their business alive. But you don't really need to.’ Some of those things I need to stop, because they're not inspiring things that I'm doing. They're dragging me down. So those are gone.

I’ve been able to voice good stuff. I’ve stopped leaving it in my swirling thoughts, and either putting it in my journal or expressing it. Things that not everyone likes, and sometimes they don't come out smoothly. But at least it's now coming out.

I'll tell you one of the things that started the Monday after my session with you. I do a day plan for what I'm doing that day. I stared picking a couple of the hardest things that I have to do, and I do them first, before I even allow myself to get out into my garden.

Now so much has lifted! I have more clarity and focus with what I'm doing. I actually completed a project that I was dreading. I started doing it, just moment by moment doing what felt good and knowing I could leave the rest. It just kept moving forward. I got it done without stressing myself. That was a big one!

And I’ve noticed my sleep is now much better, too.
