I had a great experience working with Teresa…read more Her coaching sessions were extremely helpful in providing practical guidance and working through my sticking points. Teresa is very astute and insightful. After just a couple of coaching sessions she had a clear understanding of my situation, my personality and my values. I tend to get stuck in over-thinking and have been going around in circles about what I want to do for a long time. Teresa helped me set realistic expectations and define clear, achievable goals to help me move forward. I would highly recommend working with her.

When we started I was unhappy and felt stuck, like I wasn't in control of my own life. She helped bring new perspectives, and since the program a few months ago, I've made a number of changes. Now not only is my mental health already so much better, my world feels full of opportunity again. Truly life changing, and I am so grateful for our work together.

Kathryn is INCREDIBLE at what she does and came into my life at a time that I really needed her…read more Her attitude towards career trajectories and goals is refreshingly holistic. None of the cookie-cutter personality-test-like career indexes in this work, because Kathryn understands that career paths like life are chaotic, full of unpredictable elements like fate and luck, and she will help you WORK with all the unpredictability coming at you to best leverage your chances at finding your dream career and next dream job. With her generosity and wisdom Kathryn's help seriously changed my life over a course of working together on and off for several years. Could not be more happy or grateful that I found her!

I think that's very important when selecting a coach. I had made a lot of assumptions about the next step in my career. Kathryn helped me explore the rational and logic behind these assumptions. I learned just how much they were limiting my options. That was a big eye opener for me. Further, she pushed me to think about many other important factors about my next job that I was not really considering. Once we figured out the type of roles that excited me, we focused on tactical strategies to reach out to potential employers. My networking skills were already good, but she helped sharpen them further. Last week, I started a job that I am very excited about and I am very thankful to Kathryn for all the help.

Julie is a nice person (which makes sense as she was a former elementary school teacher), but my…read moreexperience was that she is not a skilled life coach. Julie overpromised and undelivered. Initially, I chose her because of her 5-star reviews and because she claimed to be more available than most coaches, even offering daily text reminders and check-ins. I had to keep reminding her to text me and ultimately gave up when she neglected to follow through on her commitment over and over again. She failed to deliver accountability as promised and had very limited, basic tools that she repeated over and over again. Her coaching was redundant, disorganized, uninspired, and lacked clarity and focus. I hired Julie and paid her $3000+ for coaching services. I feel like I lost money, precious time, and energy. I felt so frustrated that we ultimately agreed to end our agreement two sessions early. A full refund would have been appreciated but Julie has a No Refund policy. Buyer beware. I have since hired a different coach who is significantly more skilled and have made more progress in the last month with my new coach than I did with Julie in over 6 months. YMMV.

Julie helped me shift my approach to everything in life. As a result of our work together, I feel…read moreconfident in my ability to process my emotions, exercise purposeful thought work, and practice mindfulness. Since working with Julie, I am a lot happier. My confidence and happiness infiltrates every other part of my life, which has not gone unnoticed by family members, friends, and colleagues. One major difference between now and then is that I no longer feel the need to avoid or reject my emotions. Now, I sit with my feelings, allow the emotions to wash over me. and think about why I might be feeling what I'm feeling... and so begins the thought work!

Thanks, David!

Sara is a genuine caring person and an excellent listener. She is entirely present while working with you and she will work hard to understand who you are, your goals, struggles, and how to help you overcome. After every session she writes a detailed recap of what you discussed and what you will work on until the next session. She is so intuitive, intelligent, and open-hearted. She is easy to talk to and you will feel a true bond with her knowing her heart is rooting for you. It's been five years and I still think about all she taught me and I am still moved by how much she cares about others and their success.

To be honest, I was initially a little skeptical about how much Bryan can really help us improve…read moreour relationship. I thought the problems we had were complicated and difficult to resolve. But after only a couple of sessions, I was impressed. Bryan has a really structured approach to improving relationships for couples. It not only helped us better understand ourselves and each other, but also breaks down an healthy relationship into specific areas we can work on. He gave us useful "tools" we can use every day. Now many of them have become a natural part of our on-going communications and interactions. After working with Bryan for a few months, my wife and I have grown much closer. I believe Bryan can be a really helpful resource for many couples for want to improve their relationships.

We felt comfortable opening up from the very beginning, and the tools he gave us are things we still use every day. His system works -- plain and simple. We are incredibly grateful!

Meghann is a remarkable, intuitive teacher who guided my personal growth under a specific coaching…read moretopic that was created by both of us. Meghann's approach included highly attuned archetypal and visual metaphors to help me visualize where I felt I was and where I felt I wanted to be, bi-weekly practices (also created by both of us), journaling, meditations and working through my Enneagram type growth path. We measured "progress" revisiting the coaching topic and three overarching objectives each session and were able to adapt and build the program as I needed each week. I appreciated the variety of tools and resources that were available to me during these 12-weeks and the flexibility of the program. I feel that after these 12-weeks I am carrying forward with me, stronger awareness, intuition, compassion, and confidence that allow me to dig deeper and nurture my needs and support my ideal way of life. Because Meghann's approach is collaborative, I feel empowered and able to continue my work on top of the same practices and framework we've put in place. She also modeled what it means to show up with compassion and warmth every step of the way. I always felt safe, seen, heard, and loved which is truly medicine in itself. I thank Seattle Coaching Collective for their space, work, and acceptance of the diverse paths of the life that they nurture. I feel so honored to have been a student, and I am looking forward to harvesting what has come from our work together.

I look back at the person I was then, and I don't even recognize her. Being vulnerable enough to change is extremely uncomfortable for me, but Kathy met me where I was at with such compassion. She has an unbelievable ability to educate, question, and motivate with both comfort and firmness. Kathy is extremely intelligent and brings the energy and insight that is needed for all kinds of situations. (I love her creativity and sense of humor too.) Because of our work together, I can now face life's challenges more more self awareness and courage than I ever thought possible. Thank you, Kathy.

Terrible. My wife scheduled a phone appointment with her last week, and she called 45 minutes late…read moreclaiming she wrote down the number wrong and only had time for a couple minute introduction. My wife called several times while waiting and left voicemails with her number... it's hard to believe she was too busy to answer the phone when she was supposed to be on the phone with my wife at the time. So she rescheduled the phone appointment for today. Again, she never called. Again my wife has been calling her and leaving voicemails. This time an hour has gone by already and she never bothered to call and apologize for missing the appointment again. Would not recommend.

While it may sound hyperbolic, I credit Carolann with keeping me sane and healthy during one of the…read moremost traumatic periods of my life. Originally, I booked an appointment with Carolann because I was interested in trying to lose weight using hypnotherapy. After meeting or talking on the phone with half a dozen hypnotherapists, I settled on Carolann because she came across as genuine, caring, empathetic, and an experienced professional. Plus, she had a soothing voice which I thought would be perfect for hypnotherapy sessions (call her and you'll see!). Shortly after I began working with her, I ended up going through an unexpected and traumatic life experience that lasted two years. Carolann served as my therapist during that time and I credit her with keeping me sane. She provided me with a safe space to vent/process. She also was a caring and empathetic listener who asked insightful and thoughtful questions which helped me grow, become more self-aware, and better cope with my situation. And finally, she served as my unwavering champion during this time period, and I so appreciated her warmth, empathy, and support. It has been over two years since I last saw her and I still find myself drawing on some of the tools/insights she taught me. That traumatic life experience is behind me now (which I'm thankful for) but as strange as it sounds, I'm grateful for the experience because it brought Carolann into my life. I'm a better and more healthy person today because of her. She helped me understand myself better, taught me how to tap into my inner-strength, gave me the courage to be vulnerable and lean on my support network, and she showed me how to deal with life's challenges in a positive manner. Whether you're seeking a hypnotherapist or in need of personal therapy, I can't recommend Carolann enough. She's truly an amazing and gifted therapist.
