"Alex is insightful, encouraging, thoughtful, kind, and compassionate. She has a very calm presence with great energy. I wanted to reconnect to nourishing areas of my life (yoga, physical activity, creativity) that dropped off due to home base disruption. I wanted to focus on discipline, commitment, and schedule. It was thoughtful and creative of her to share the Hero’s Journey with me and to connect the similarities with my story. It was a great visual and gave me pause. For several months, I have made it a daily habit and commitment to lead with love, kindness, and compassion for self. Alex surprised me when she acknowledged that I am compassionate with myself. I thought I focused on the practice of self-compassion but I did not acknowledge my own efforts. When she validated that I am compassionate with myself, it gave me pause, because I do not acknowledge my efforts. Her acknowledgment of how I am compassionate with myself made me feel heard as she was understanding of all that I shared." -Kathleen F.

"I am very happy that I choose Alex as a coach. Initially, a friend of mine had recommended her. I wasn’t sure if I needed coaching, even though I felt stuck and after personal setbacks, I knew which direction I wanted to go with my life, and I was happy with things I had done in the past. At times things felt overwhelming. To be honest I didn’t really know what coaching was all about. My conversations with Alex helped me a lot in rediscovering, encouraging me, and getting back on track with the work I am passionate about. That wasn’t a straightforward process, I used to run into roadblocks, and I had to adjust my approach and Alex was a great help with this. At our first meetings, Alex would help me evaluate things that are important to me in my life. She would give me “homework” to think about these and write them down. Not only did I find her questions and her ability to listen compassionately very helpful, but she would also help break my goals into smaller steps which I felt were achievable till our next meeting. I also felt she was very helpful in improving my time management, finding a daily work routine that I felt worked best for me. She was very practical, as we would do specific exercises which helped me to pinpoint my specific strengths, things I consider my unique contributions. After each meeting, I would come away with a feeling of having specific tangible results, like what I wanted to communicate on my website, on LinkedIn, or in meetings. We focused on both, my work, and things that are personally important to me, one of them is my meditation practice. I really liked that Alex is incorporating mindfulness into her coaching. We would talk about which goals I had achieved in the past week, and I talked to her when I did not stay on track. In those cases, we would find out what’s behind those emotional roadblocks, and being mindful about these roadblocks was key in helping me move forward. Alex was super helpful in getting back on track, in actually doing the things I love! I am very thankful to her. I highly recommend her as a coach. She is a wonderful person to talk to." -Thomas S.

"I felt like Alex listened deeply and left feeling that I was heard. She was very patient and compassionate.
Our time together was productive in that Alex helped me find answers to some questions that I didn't know I needed to ask. She held space for me in a way I had not experienced before, being new to working with a Life Coach. It was an amazing experience." -Kim C.
