I sought out Deb several months before an anticipated relocation, desiring career direction at a…read morepivotal time. At the end of our first meeting, Deb told me that I had the answers I was looking for; she was just going to ask the right questions. Our work together took a hard left from my initial expectations. Instead of Deb telling me how to land a suitable job, we explored my beliefs about money and personal responsibility. We examined how I judge in others that which I reject in myself. We practiced curiosity, self-compassion, and relational bridge building. We dug into meaning making and my attachment to personal struggle as a status symbol. In the end, I didn't move, and while externally my life looks really similar to how it did when I first stepped into her office, my interior has been rendered almost unrecognizable--in the best way. The gifts of our work together have been immeasurable. I have learned how to feel, think, and live differently. Working with Deb means working from the inside out. It means taking a more gradual path and addressing change at the root. Deb is an incredible life coach and human being, and I cannot recommend her enough.

I first contacted Deb after moving back to Maine and struggling to figure out the next step. As a…read morewoman in my mid-twenties, my parents recommended that I schedule a session with a career counselor, but I felt that I needed something a little different. I had a college degree, incredible work experience, and years of therapy that helped me determine my values and goals, but I didn't know how to start leading the life that I wanted. I knew what I did not want, but had a hard time moving in the direction that I desired without a clear path. In short, the biggest lesson I learned from Deb was to simply stay curious and open to possibility. I previously would talk myself out of applying for a position, going to a workshop or out with a new friend, and rationalized it in my head as just being practical, but I was actually shutting myself down from a potential opportunity to build connection. After each session, Deb challenged me to come up with action steps, and checked in with me during the week to continue supporting me and hold me accountable (which I asked for). Since starting our work together, I have chosen to wake up each morning with intention and be happy and grateful about all of the possibilities instead of overwhelmed to pick the "right" one; I have gained more confidence in my decisions and self-worth; I received a scholarship to attend a workshop that I was excited about but could not afford; I started a part-time business with my partner through the help of community networking; and also began an incredibly perfect new job that combines my interests and values. Even though I needed help with action steps, I equally (if not more importantly) needed help with patience, something that Deb helped me become more comfortable with. It is this balance of being vulnerable- both in action and in patience- that I learned and has changed how I live and enjoy my life. Above all, Deb's compassionate, intellectual, nurturing and holistic style of coaching gave me the structure I needed to move forward, and skills to calm myself down, enjoy life, and stay curious.

A lot of people have walkers and they have two different lines that the residents have to stand in. A lot of residents don't bother coming on those days. SO, the residents are paying for the promotions. My first month I paid 600 extra dollars for my husband to eat there, and he didn't. Very rude to us about it. Then my husband was ex communicated where he couldn't even go to the movies with me. I was being heavily surveiled. Kitchen use? Forget it. Some residents think they own it. Wash clothes? My neighbor always came in. Moving my plants out? All of a sudden a landscaping truck showed up, The DEI hires, residents to the back parking lot. One time in the laundry room, two workers came in to take out the trash. Flung the full industrialized size trash bag up enough to almost hit me in the head. No warning and no apologies, only smirks. You have white old rich people and you have People of Color servants. What could possibly go wrong? I used my husbands car one day, next day flat tire. I rented a van and left overnight, got a puncture in back tire It goes on and on. Biggest lie is that it isn't assisted living, when clearly it is because my mother lives there and needs some assistance. There are several residents that need help finding their apartment. JUST STAY AWAY FROM THERE!
