Since the Fall of 2011, I've met with Karen once, worked with her over the phone to edit a resume…read moreand cover letter, and have called her to talk me through an overwhelming time-sensitive career decision crisis!! I am SO GLAD she was available to talk to me when I called her out the blue. Having someone who knows you a bit and has become familiar with your experience, strengths, and goals, is an asset to have during a career transition period. Overall, I have had a great experience with Karen and I am so glad I took the chance and reached out for this type of support. (My first time working with a career coach/counselor). Karen definitely cares about the success of her clients and is dedicated to her work. Some might think this type of support is expensive, including me, but in the end - I have definitely found it to be worthwhile. Work is a huge chunk of your life... and if you're unhappy or confused, why wouldn't you invest in something like a career coach? I have found Karen to be great at: - helping you identify next steps when you're stuck - creating an action plan that is realistic and useful - talking through/editing written documents to make them more effective - connecting you to resources (Karen often emailed me job opportunities that she thought might be a good fit for me! How awesome is that?) - offering a listening ear - asking important questions - helping you think about things differently, from a different angle - offering insight to certain fields and what the challenges are in that field (higher education in my experience). Thanks, Karen!

Karen's ability to help drill down to core ideas and themes is uncanny. She listens, helps guide…read moreyou to your own solutions and provides constant support and encouragement along the way. She has a collaborative approach yet at the same time helps you maintain accountability. I highly recommend her!

I found Kim Childs by doing a Google Search for Life Coaches near me. I had been floundering for a…read morefew years, and grew to be very unhappy with the stagnation in my life after the COVID-19 pandemic. My husband's coworker talked about how he had worked with a life coach in middle age to help him figure out his next steps after an intercontinental move to the US. I read Kim's website and noticed she was associated with Kripalu, is a former yoga instructor, and I was intrigued. I read a bit of her blog and decided to email to set up an introductory phone call. I felt like we connected on the call. She was lighthearted, but helped me move forward with action items in just that one phone call. Before our first meeting, I was really nervous. I didn't know what she would be like in person (I can pick up on other people's energy very easily), but I was soon at ease as I realized she is a kind and thoughtful person, who is also joyful and positive. She is spiritual, and educated, with an "East Meets West" style of coaching. During my three months working with her I explored more opportunities than I have in a decade on my own. Having biweekly meetings held me accountable, but gave me time in between sessions to accomplish our collaboratively created goals. If I didn't accomplish everything, that was fine. We would discuss what I didn't do and decide whether to add it to the next to do list or drop it. She taught me how to better read my intuition when making decisions, and to clear negative beliefs that were holding me back. I now have a path forward to explore several interests, and I have the tools Kim taught me to use along the way. She also referred me to an amazing acupuncturist/reiki master when I expressed interest in energy healing (this alone was worth a million dollars). Working with Kim for three months has been more effective in changing my life than five years of therapy. I urge anyone who is on the fence to take the leap and explore whether she is a good fit. The worst that will happen is she's not the right fit for you; the best that will happen is Kim Childs will change your life!

Five years later, Julie has been the compass who has helped me through the most difficult times of my life. She is different from other coaches/counselors. She goes all in and above and beyond to guide me through crises and always checks in in between. Julie is a real person who genuinely cares about me and all of her clients and it makes all the difference. She is not the type to sit back and just listen, take notes, and just ask me over and over "And how does that make you feel?" Instead, she has authentic conversations and helps me to develop my own coping skills through giving me tools to get me through tough situations. At the same time she gives me honest, useful advice that I can apply immediately. I honestly do not know where I would be in my life right now without Julie's guidance. I strongly, strongly recommend her to anyone!!!
