Wendy has made such a positive impact on my life! She has helped me find fun again, something I…read moresomehow I had let slip away over these years. It is almost like she has given me permission to go out and enjoy life, and do activities that bring me joy - in my case, playing tennis after 20 years. She helps uncover what mental obstacles and trepidations exist as barriers, and then helped me figure out how to just get past them. I highly recommend Wendy if you are thinking about starting a new hobby or activity, but can feel something is blocking you from starting and following through on it. Wendy will help see you through, and it can be life-changing!

Even when things get out of hand (because they do), I now have ways to get back on track and not get stuck or too overwhelmed.

I was able to work with Lisa for 4 sessions and cannot express how much I got out of our time…read moretogether. Lisa not only listens, she actually hears what you are saying. As we talked about my life and work history, she made sure to comment and encourage, but the thing that stuck out the most was how she remembered all of the information and brought it up in later sessions. Lisa is someone who with one word can change your whole outlook on a situation. Things that I thought were just experiences that I had in my past (personal and professional), she allowed me to see that many of them are assets to me when looking for my next career. I found myself feeling more motivated in every facet of my life! After the first session I was able to establish what career I would like to be in and also started a blog, all because of Lisa! Lisa's ability to look at a resume and help craft a solid one is unmatchable. No matter how good I thought it was, she was able to help simplify it and make it look and read sharper and more content driven. As we were talking about it, I would remember other things that I did in a certain role and Lisa would encourage me to add it. She made me feel so great by commenting genuinely about my achievements and making me see the value of them as well! Lisa offers many packages that fit each individual and will work with your budget and time! I looked forward to EVERY session I had. Although I only did 4 sessions with Lisa over a 1 month period, I learned so much and will now set out to start a new career. I feel very lucky to have found Lisa (here on Yelp actually) and I cannot wait to book more sessions as my journey continues!

Earlier this year, I found myself at a crossroads in my career. I had worked hard to become a…read moreProduct Manager and, while I found success, I also faced some real challenges. Being a new father, balancing work and life as a PM was tough--and on top of that, I wanted to master my current role so I could confidently move into the next phase of my career. I reached out to my mentor and dear friend Vikas, who suggested I connect with Merideth. I'm so glad I took his advice. What I appreciated most about working with Merideth was that she didn't just side with me on every gripe or frustration I had. Instead, she offered a fresh perspective that challenged me to see things from a more balanced viewpoint. She then helped me develop skills to address these challenges constructively, empowering me to manage difficult situations with more confidence and clarity. Merideth also helped me carve out the time and space for self-reflection and discovery, allowing me to dive deeper into understanding my strengths and what truly brings me joy. This led me to realize that much of my focus had been on trying to conform to what I thought others wanted, rather than leaning into my strengths and passions. Merideth helped me build a framework to approach career decisions with confidence--both in my day-to-day work and during my recent job search. This enabled me to be selective about the opportunities I pursued and comfortable walking away from those that weren't the right fit. If you're looking for a coach who can help you grow in your career, I can't recommend Merideth enough. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to hear more about my experience, or contact her directly. You won't regret it.

I practiced law for many years and stepped away after my second child was born to spend time as a…read morefull-time caregiver. When I started to think about how and when I would re-enter the workforce, I hit a mental block. I didn't know if I wanted to go back to lawyering or to pivot to something new. I also wasn't sure how I would focus my career exploration, in light of the time constraints of being home all day with two small kids. I engaged Merideth for a 3 month coaching program to help me navigate these challenges, and I am so thankful for my experience with her. Merideth helped me gain clarity about what I want my life to look like once both my children are in grade school, and how I want my work to fit into that vision. Through working with Merideth, I was able to assemble a list of career "non-negotiables" with respect to the skills I want to use, the values I want my work to reflect, and the way I'd like to structure my work schedule. Moreover, Merideth and I fleshed out concrete ways of exploring my interests in small, focused steps, and compiled a list of concrete career ideations about which I am truly excited. In addition to helping focus my career planning, Merideth helped me work on my mindset. Even though I am an accomplished person who has met "long shot" goals in the past, it is a major challenge for me to imagine I can curate a career I am passionate about, and in which I have control over my time and energy expenditures. Merideth helped me with this mindset shift (and I continue to work on it). Merideth also taught me about the "negative tapes" we all play in our minds, and how it is possible to re-record them. Doing this work required more vulnerability and self-reflection than I initially anticipated, but it has empowered me to indulge interests I'd long dismissed as "impractical," and to see new possibilities for myself. Merideth is warm, friendly, caring, and a great listener. She is also an excellent accountability partner. The process of completing her Career Compass exercises was so thorough, I have peace of mind that I have left no stone unturned in examining my values, skills, and preferences. I am also so grateful to her for continually reminding me of what is possible, and that I am capable of having a satisfying career that is compatible with the personal demands of this season of my life. Thank you, Merideth!

I am so pleased by the progress we have made, and I use the tools we practiced every day. I am especially grateful for Susan's non judgmental listening style and the way she asks questions that open the door to me understanding what is happening. It was very calming that our time together was structured with clearly set expectations, but also followed the flow of ideas. If you are considering working with a coach or counselor, you should put Susan at the top of your list.

Susan was my leadership coach at a time in my life where I wasn't quite sure what I needed but I knew I needed support. From the very beginning Susan helped me find clarity by inviting me to check in with myself and my body. She held me through a lot of transition in both my professional and personal life by teaching me to be resourceful and to begin to pay attention to my actual needs and wants. Her interdisciplinary background, ability to comfortably talk about race, power, and oppression and her understanding of nonprofit structures were critical to my ability to build and deepen trust with her. She shows up and then some. Grateful for her wisdom and ability to listen so deeply without judgement.

I'm pragmatic but I needed some guidance on some events that were taking place in my life. I didn't want a person to just tell me what I wanted to hear.

She hones in on what matters and really makes you stop and consider your next steps. I made decisions for myself but I didn't feel alone. She respected my boundaries and challenged me without pushing. Because of her skill I think I've learned a few things about myself that will make a big impact on my life moving forward.

Before I started working with Natalie, I was depressed and beyond burnout in both my personal and…read moreprofessional life. I had been in therapy before, but this was different. She provided instrumental support and taught me to explore practical approaches. This helped me accept all emotions and make changes that didn't feel overwhelming but rather doable. I felt in control of my life for the first time ever! I never thought that I could focus on self care and self compassion. This made all the difference in my life as I now feel content and confident. Years later, I'm also involved in Natalie's group program, which connected me to other women going through similar experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Natalie's Burnout program as we all deserve to live the life that we desire

I am a happier, healthier, and more emotionally resourced person today because of that work. It's completely shifted how I see myself and how I treat myself, and definitely how I compare myself (or don't). For one thing, I have so much energy now that I'm not trying to deprive my body of food--I took up pilates, jogging AND martial arts. The inner changes are even more profound. I consider myself a *Recovered* People Pleaser, I've stopped stress eating, and I don't need to eat an entire pizza to feel satisfied. So many gifts that have only grown in the two years after I worked with Natalie. She's incredible.
