Testimonials

Feedback from some of my fabulous coaching clients…

“I never imagined, when I first came to see you for life coaching sessions that my life would have changed so significantly.  When I look back, I had been going through the motions of life for so long, taking care of the needs, wants and demands of others, being everyone else’s ‘rock’ or ‘anchor’, that I had lost sight of ‘me’.  I had suppressed my needs, wants, demands and desires to such an extent that I no longer knew what my own needs, wants and desires were!  I had no idea what made me happy.  That is how lost ‘me’ was.  Oh, yes, I was super-efficient, super-reliable, super-there, super-woman, super-career,  etc…etc… but I was being super-duper for everyone else.  I was not being super-duper to me.  My life was so very busy on the outside, but so empty on the inside.

Wow, how things have changed! I love my new life! And my family is so happy to be with this new, happy, engaged me. The work that you do is inspirational.  I can now say “I am excited to be alive” and that “I am joyful” and I owe this new state of being to the wonderful work that you do. Thank you so much”.

“Louise is a wonderful, personable coach and is extremely knowledgeable in her field. The techniques and methods she applies make weight loss achievable. There are no gimmicks, just a basic method of listening to your body, but the best bit is, IT WORKS! At no time do I feel like I am depriving myself or that this is difficult to do. With Louise’s guidance and knowledge I have found my weight loss goal (that had eluded me for ten years) easy to achieve and I know it’s a lifelong change”.

Thanks again….I will take away from this experience not only a  new career direction and sense of purpose but essentially more colour in my life. It was the best investment I could have given myself…and yes you can quote me on that! Thank you so much.

Coaching with Louise has allowed me to let go of “what if” and instead ask, “What’s next?”  She possesses a remarkable combination of pragmatism and intuition that allow her to sense your needs, even before you do, and then help you take steps in your right direction.  Louise develops a partnership with her clients that encourages trust and action. When I am “stuck,” I know with her vision and skills, Louise will help me find a way to move towards more peace.  Her empathy and compassion are unmatched, but it is her amazing ability to ask all the right questions that make her such a gifted coach.  Anyone navigating life’s pathways would benefit from her wisdom, humility and expertise.

Louise is an incredibly gifted coach.  She is perceptive, incisive, and highly intuitive.  Best of all, she coaches with tremendous caring and sensitivity.  With Louise guiding me, I have always felt the courage to wade into the difficult territory where all the best work is done.  I highly recommend her services!

Louise is fabulous at what she does. Working with her is so much fun and every time we talk, I see the results I’m looking for. I’ve worked with lots of coaches and I can honestly say she’s top-notch. This may be the best investment you ever make… hire her!

As a yoga teacher AND a life coach, Louise offers a truly holistic approach to caring for your mind, body, and spirit, enabling you to live a life full of purpose, energy, and happiness. Having successfully navigated through many changes in her own life (leaving a high-stress job, discovering her passion for yoga and coaching, overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome, finding balance), Louise can show you, step-by-step, how to make the big changes and start living the life you deserve. She is keenly intuitive, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. I cannot think of a better coach to have by your side.

Louise has been coaching me on a number of issues relative to launching my own business.  As a first time entrepreneur, I have found my sessions with her extremely beneficial in setting goals and managing projects.  Most recently, Louise has consulted with me on my Myers Briggs Personality Type.  I am an ENFP and with this classification, I have learned why certain tasks are more challenging and have the tendency to become obstacles based on my personality type.  From this new awareness and Louise’s guidance on how to bring about a balance and sense of strategy, I can embrace my preferences and confidently workout new approaches to completing and negotiating my tasks and project goals.  I have been practicing exercising decision making from a Judgement perspective which has spared me time management hassles and the old familiar since of dread in my work.  Prior to my Myers Brigg’s assessment and consultation with Louise, I found myself riddled with indecision and a certain halting passivity in handling my most significant projects.  I am happily moving forward from a place of examining my preference for flexibility in my work while expressing those new found skills for managing tasks in a decisive and organized manner.  I am much more well-rounded in my perspective of my own tendencies as a result of my work with Louise on these issues.  Happily, I am working in real time, meeting deadlines, and managing projects with new strength and insight into myself. I am very grateful for Louise’s coaching expertise as I have been prone to only become aware of what my passivity was costing me personally and professionally when faced with the frustrating and confrontational circumstances as a result of not exercising more effective skills from the outset.
