Testimonials

Have you ever had anyone truly listen to you? To slow time and hear the things said between the words, pauses, and self-edits?

That's my gift—to listen deeply and support you in rediscovering yours.

Here’s what else my clients say about our work together:

“I found online coaching in early-2022 during one of the lowest periods of my life.  The teachings around insecure attachment resonated with me deeply, and I signed up for a program before I had even finished the book. A few months later, I took a leap into one-on-one coaching.  I was paired with Colleen who turned out to be my new guardian angel, sitting on my shoulder, guiding me through what was to become the most significant, consistent emotional transformation of my life.

Colleen is the most genuine, grounded, non-judgmental, supportive, and kind mentor I have had in over two decades in and out of therapy and coaching.  Her guidance around feeling my emotions connected me to my body in a way I had not been able to in the past.  I started being able to recognize my real feelings (underneath the buzzing anxiety), stay with them, and feel all the way through them.  Colleen’s words became my mantras, guiding me through my weeks - "what am I feeling and when have I felt this before ..."

Slowly, I began unlocking my negative stories, beliefs, and core wounds and taking vulnerable, emotionally-risky action I had not taken in the past due to self-induced fear and being stuck in my own bullshit.  I started shifting into a different version of myself - a more whole, complete, authentic, honest version.  It was all baby steps and one step forward, two steps back, slowly shifting out of my negative patterning and into a space of self-trust and self-love.  Colleen was my teacher and witness through my process and evolution into a more secure, whole self.  I will be forever grateful for this new, improved, emotionally-open and authentic version of my life.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you Colleen!

“Colleen,

I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for my mental health and for my marriage with your 6 month coaching program.  You helped me to step back and take responsibility for my own feelings and actions in a way that allows me to show up authentically for myself and others. I am so happy I signed up with you to continue my path of overcoming insecure attachment. Our work gave me tools that I can utilize in every moment of my life, and I see how it has changed not only my relationship with my wife, but also with my kids, my ex, my team at work, and even people I encounter randomly (whether in traffic or at the check out counter).  I am forever grateful and highly recommend your services for anyone struggling with overcoming insecure attachment.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Colleen helped me to become aware of myself.  With zero judgement and the kindest, calmest tone, she points out patterns in my thinking and behaviors.  This puts all the power in my hands to focus on making changes within myself rather than being focused on others.  She challenges me to take risky action, no matter how small.  And she celebrates all the baby-step wins with me.  She practices what she preaches by being open and curious when getting to know me.  She remembers details of things I share with her including names of people I mention and my relationship with them.  I feel like she really cares about my challenges and well-being.  And she is a master at reminding me to assess what I'm feeling in my body and to use those feelings as a guide.  She also uses just the right amount of sharing of her personal experiences which leaves me feeling like she really understands what I'm going through.  Colleen is an excellent choice for a coach.  Get ready for your life to change!

I look forward to working with you again in the future.  I'll know when the time is right to begin working with you again!”

“Working with Colleen was a life-changing experience for me. Although I’ve been seeing a therapist most of my life, I reached a plateau in my treatment. A life coach in Colleen was exactly what I needed. She listened with empathy + helped me identify my development goals. She guided my healing by sharing examples to advance my awareness and progress. I look forward to working with her to make my life-changing breakthrough a reality.”

“I had an incredible 6mths coaching journey with Colleen! Before I started I was feeling disheartened and sceptical about coaching and therapy, and I had lost faith in myself and what I was spending my money on. Colleen made me feel completely at ease with my decision making and really met me where I was at. I started with a discovery call and clicked with Colleen quickly. I had breakthroughs and ah-ha’s from the get-go.

After a few 1:1s I took the leap and signed up to the package and it's been the most transformative experience I've had with any coach, therapist or practitioner. Not only did I learn new things about myself each week but it was all finally making sense. I now have new tools I regularly go back to to get out of my over-thinking mind and back into my body and feelings. I'm really so grateful for Colleen.

My confidence and self-worth is a journey but it's getting noticeably stronger and stronger- as is my decision making, self-trust and self-regulation. Thank you so much, Colleen! I would highly recommend you to anyone.”
