TESTIMONIALS
“Although I’d never done wellness coaching before, the experience was positive and helpful. It wasn’t always easy to be vulnerable, but Barbara’s warmth and presence helped me feel safe and accepted, encouraged and validated. She often helped me reframe things in a more positive way, and consistently encouraged me to apply more compassion to myself. The fact that she is an inspiring role model, as she navigates and fulfills her own life’s potential, helps make Barbara a credible and effective coach. ”

Wellness coaching actually exceeded my expectations. I was open to the experience and was not only delighted to spend time with Barbara, but valued her perspective, how she reframed many of my points of awareness to be more useful going forward, and her genuine caring demeanor made me feel safe and supported.
She was objective, supportive, insightful, and encouraging, with a warm & caring communication style. Some of the concepts which felt most useful for me were clarifying my strengths, experimenting with small goals, reframing challenges as learning opportunities, and simply holding the time and space to think and talk. As a wellness coach, Barbara ticked all of the boxes! I appreciated the time we spent together, the tools to use in an actionable plan, and the resources to keep me on my path. Highly recommend!!
“Coaching with Barbara exceeded my expectations and hopes, and I had really solid and wonderful results. Creating the time and space to think and talk with a professional who is open-minded, engaged, insightful, and compassionate really helped me move out of a feeling of being ‘stuck in place’, mentally and emotionally. It’s as if throughout the sessions I began to remember my strengths and passions, my love for helping others, and my inherent worth as a human walking this earth. Basically, I remember who I am at my core. I highly recommend working with Barbara. ”

This was my first experience with wellness coaching and I found Barbara to be positive, professional, and empathetic. Envisioning my future as I’d like it to be - with less stress and more time for my loved ones - as well as reframing challenges as learning opportunities, were the most useful discoveries. I’m grateful for Barbara’s patience and expertise; it was super helpful to work with her!
“Wellness coaching with Barbara supported me as I navigated many challenges in my final year of college. Through consistent, calm encouragement I kept my “eye on the prize”, and avoided becoming overwhelmed by circumstances. The result was that I finished my degree stronger than I thought possible. Barbara is professional, positive, and present, and I always felt I was really heard. Even now I continue to use some of the tools we explored. I regularly check in when I feel the need, and continue to grow stronger, calmer, and more productive.”
