Testimonials
“Renee combines a thoughtful and rigorous understanding of my health history and goals with active listening, curiosity, and care. In our conversations, she explores my goals and progress with realism, compassion, and humor while also identifying meaningful ways I can improve between sessions that would have been difficult for me to identify on my own. In addition to accomplishing my goals, I feel connected to Renee and cared for, which makes the project of health coaching such a pleasure!”

“I was in the middle of preparing my house to go on the market and launching my own business website when I was introduced to Susan. Looking at the big picture I was overwhelmed and not motivated to start any project. With Susan's coaching expertise, I was able to identify what was important and set an umbrella goal. Drawing on my own strengths and values I created tiny behavior action steps to work on, bringing me one step closer to the goal every 2 weeks. I learned that when I block scheduled my day and included time for self-care, I was less stressed and more productive. Susan listened and provided feedback so that I could course correct when things got off track. At the end of my coaching contract with Susan, my house was on the market and I launched my website.”

“Renee not only helped me get clarity on medical questions and advocate with my providers, but prompted me to take a broader approach to health, considering factors like exercise, nutrition, work and play, and how to maintain a sense of rhythm and balance. Health coaching gave me the gift of time to focus on my health from a holistic perspective ... and held me accountable for change! Thank you!”

“It was great working with Susan over the past few months. She was dedicated to making each session focus on what I wanted to discuss and asked good questions for me to identify the things that are important to me and ways to help focus on them. We discussed many tips and strategies and adjusted during each session if the tactics weren't working for me. After working with her, I've created some new habits that are helping me meet my goals and prioritize them to make me my best self in dealing with my family and work life. Susan was very supportive, held me accountable to the goals we discussed, and was always excited to hear about my progress in between sessions. With Susan's style and direction, I felt like I was coming up with the solution and choosing things that I viewed as achievable. I really enjoyed working with Susan!”

"I was initially skeptical about health coaching, unsure how a coach could truly support my journey without telling me exactly what to do. However, once I realized that I was the one responsible for making my own changes, everything began to shift. Susan became my invaluable support, guiding me as I crafted my own path toward better health. With her encouragement, I made small, sustainable changes that ultimately led to significant results. Susan helped me stay accountable and consistently revisit my goals, reminding me of our first conversation where I expressed my desire to move from being 'fine' to 'excellent.' After nine months of coaching, I can confidently say I’m much closer to that goal, with improved self-accountability and a newfound sense of empowerment. I couldn't have done it without Susan’s support!"
