“[I was helped] through your insights and being in tune with your listening skills. I benefited from the questions you asked me. I had many a-ha moments and breakthroughs. The results were that I became aware of [how] my body and spirit needed to navigate in the world in a more efficient way.”
– Debbie

“I am much more sure of my parenting. Discipline is much easier now. I was very surprised at how quickly the techniques worked. Life is much calmer and manageable now. I enjoy my family much more now.”
– Keara

“In working with a life coach, I was able to get a non-biased opinion in looking at various aspects of my life. You really got me to delve inside myself, to look at past experiences to find out why I had certain feelings about things and how they now impact the way I view myself and live my life. I believe I have come away from this experience with a better knowledge of who I am and with tools to continuously better myself and life. I also leave celebrating the woman I am. Thank you, Irene, for helping me to find me. You were always such a strong supporter in my corner. I feel more confident, self-assured and my self-esteem is so much better.”
– Laurie

“I have learned so much and really appreciate all of your help. You have a great teaching style and funny personality, that really makes this enjoyable and informative. I will recommend this to all of my friends whether they are having trouble with their teens or not. The lessons are great information for any parent or grandparent who is raising a teenager in these times. Fabulous – and Irene, you were the best!”

“I thought our coaching relationship went extremely well. You did a wonderful job of respecting me as a person. I felt completely comfortable talking to you. You also did a good job of letting me control the sessions and yet remaining on the side to help guide me when necessary. The insights you had, such as me allowing myself to be controlled by the outside world, really helped me put my life into perspective, and make solid decisions for how I was going to change.”
– Mark

“I had a lot of important realizations about the things I was telling myself, my thought process.”
– Marla

“I always felt encouraged to think and stretch my intellect, think deeper, search for solutions more intensely, and really take charge of any situation and my life as a whole and make a difference myself!”
– Olesya

“Another thing that surprised me is how much my outlook has changed. I used to think of raising children as a ‘necessary evil.’ Now I am actually enjoying spending time with my children. I find reasons to be proud of them.”
– Paul

“[What surprised me about coaching is] that my dedication to the coaching plan has got my awareness of my feelings to a level that I would never think would happen. I am aware of my emotional feelings in all situations and in all relationships that I am developing.”
– Scot

“I learned that nothing happens unless I make a conscious effort to make a change. Life seemed to keep passing by and handing me the same issues (I was requesting/accepting.) I learned that how I approached, spoke of, and handled issues is key to what result those issues read and if they would continue to come up. I also learned that even if certain issues were to continually meander into my life, they are muted and nullified by my actions. I also learned that my power is often completely stripped by merely reacting to situations, rather than creating my experience and simply handling those situations. I learned that the power and energy behind frustration and anger could be channeled to empowering my self-betterment.”
– Thomas

“[Irene] is compassionate, comforting and critical at the same time, which is what I needed: someone honest and straightforward not wanting to tell me what I wanted to hear.”
– Vickie

“[The self-awareness that came through coaching was] that my feelings are not always selfish and I can determine my own destiny. My desires, feelings, goals, religious beliefs, values are mine and cannot be dictated [by] another person…Irene brought some great researched quotes about the levels of relationships which really impacted my being. She challenged me to take the necessary steps in order for me to be happy.”
