Marina has a rare ability to balance empathy with clarity, and I always feel respected and never judged. Working with Marina has been truly life-changing, and I am deeply grateful for her support--and for the care and skill she brings to this work.

I didn't know until recently that it's unethical for a therapist to secretly meet with one party ... but now it makes sense why she prevented my treatment with her associate - to prevent them from finding out about her lack of ethics.

Karin has such a great intuition and perceptive ability to pull out what your passions and match skills could be used for. Her assessments were so helpful, just to be able to see on paper keywords and descriptions that are the essence of you.

I initially met Karin through the Women of Prosperous Hearts mastermind group. I was starting my…read moreown business and wanted to be around other successful women. Best decision ever! I was immediately drawn to her fun personality and the way she has to get the bottom of your blocks & fears. I took her "Finding Your Gift" workshop and also bought her amazing book called "Alive". I was especially impressed with her coaching techniques and loved the "before & after" photos she takes, as I'm a visual person & learner. So I decided to invest in working with Karin one-on-one. As I never had a business coach before, I wasn't sure what to expect. Karin is very straightforward, caring & really lasers in on what is needed. The 6 months after working with Karin, I tripled my business income and it continues to grow to this day. I have a steady flow of clients and I'm also booking speaking engagements, which was one of my goals. I highly recommend Karin, her coaching, book & workshops!

Near the end of 2022 I decided to rejoin the workforce after a 6 month sabbatical from a stressful…read morejob that I had previously worked at for 9 years. During the first few months I was skeptical of finding placement but my agent Lois was always on the lookout for a position. My work experience and background were niche, however, she did her best to find me potential jobs. In fact, she found several places for me to interview with, but sadly I was overqualified for those positions. I still appreciated her dedication for the search efforts. One place I interviewed at gave feedback that I was a top candidate except they had found a more suitable match for the position. Lois did not forget about me or that opportunity, and when that position became vacant again she immediately called me and encouraged me to take the job. I am now working at an organization that feels like a dream come true, all thanks to Lois' help. For those who have had poor experiences with their agent, I can only assume they sat back and waited for something to fall in their lap. Finding good work also requires follow-up, just like anything else in life we want but do not have.
