Testimonials

Janet provides a safe environment for me to look at my life and change what I want to change. When friends or other confidantes look at me sideways or give me advice from their perspective, Janet is very trustworthy and allows me to be completely honest with myself. When I started coaching, I had no grasp of the consequences of my actions, especially financially.

Most people won't admit that they're living paycheck to paycheck or moment to moment. It was a very reactive way to live. Coaching has allowed me the confidence to be more responsible with my finances, to budget and have money left over, to plan for the future and be proactive. Right now I work for the phone company, and I restore vintage automobiles in my spare time. My plan is to make my living restoring these cars that I love, and coaching is helping me get there.

Working with Janet ( and don't let anyone kid you, coaching can be work) is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Her humor, warmth, intelligence, honesty and genuine caring shines through in all of her interactions.

Being someone with "trust and boundary issues" (as therapists would say), I thought it would be difficult for me to work with someone who seemed "too familiar." But Janet has a unique ability to combine authentic warmth, compassion and respect with just the right amount of "toughness" to help me see what I need to see to move forward.

Janet is a gifted coach, but more importantly for me, she has been a mentor, spiritual guide and trusted teacher. And she likes dogs and children - another plus in my book!

One of Janet's strongest aspects is how very accepting she is. People have the capacity to change, but in order to do that, they have to feel fine and normal right where they are. Janet's acceptance of me where I am has helped me to change what I've wanted to change in my life. She helps people to see within themselves and come more in tune with who they are. She has an objective wisdom that is very powerful.

I really enjoy that she plays an interactive role in our conversations. I appreciate that she brings her own person into the coaching. Her life experience, wisdom and complete acceptance have helped to bring out the best in me. I've explored my faith with Janet; I've made a geographical move, and now I am looking for the relationship of my dreams.

Having experienced quite a few of life's ups and downs, I have found that it's a joy to experience the ups but life can definitely be difficult during the challenges. Having some guidance, help and support can really be beneficial.

When I first sought out help from Janet, I was trying to navigate through a very difficult relationship. Needing some impartial help to draw my boundaries, see things from another person's perspective and decide the best path forward, Janet turned out to be the perfect coach. That process took a year, and I believe that the end result was the best one. I have not had second thoughts about the difficult choices that I made.

Since then, I have gone on to also utilize Janet to help discover my many desires and talents which I hope will lead me to making the most of my years to come. And going forward, I plan to occasionally meet with Janet for help in evaluating the many challenging decisions that I will surely face in these complex and stressful times. For individuals looking for similar help and guidance, I enthusiastically recommend Janet.

A good friend of mine once made the comment that we get into trouble when we think we are physical beings waiting to be spiritual, when really we are spiritual beings temporarily engaged in a physical life. I believe that to be true, but I don't talk about it with most people. Talking with Janet was such a feeling of freedom because I could talk about my physical health, my emotional health and my spiritual health.

Working with Janet meant that I had actual feedback and could work things out in real conversation, not the non-participatory "Well, what do you think?" that I had experienced in the past. I am a clear thinker, and I KNOW what I think! I also believe that we already have all the answers inside of us. The trick is to find them, acknowledge them and act on them. Janet is one of those angels who can turn a flashlight onto the answers we are hiding from ourselves and not be judgmental in the process.

I believe that we all have fears that hold us back, and we have perfectly good reasons for hiding those fears from ourselves. I also believe that if we don't transform those fears into more powerful and positive thoughts, we will stumble through life with one hand tied behind our backs. We need to be safe, accepted and encouraged in such a task, and that is what Janet is able to offer. She truly has a healing heart.

I encourage anyone who is tired of living the hard way, walking into the same brick walls over and over, or is just feeling stuck to work with Janet. She is the conduit when you are tired of living in the problem and ready to live in the solution.

Janet is my tiramisu, my uplifter. She has been a light of hope in my sometimes dark and fragile heart. I started coaching with Janet after the death of my parents. Today my heart is definitely brighter and stronger thanks to the help and support she has given me. Now I am working with Janet to live a healthier lifestyle and take care of my diabetes. I also want to find work that expresses my passion for helping people. This possibility gets closer to becoming a reality with every conversation we have.
