Testimonials

I have known Darlene for several years, and most recently as my coach. I have seen significant results from the sessions that we have had together. She has gotten me to focus on what I want, and has helped me identify what I need to do to achieve what I want. She has inspired me, she has encouraged me, she has listened to me and because of her coaching, I have accomplished more in a few months than I had in years.

Darlene is able to listen and be compassionate, and also has been able to push me when I have needed to be pushed. I can’t say enough about all that she has done for me. Her years of experience working with people give her a unique and valuable perspective.

Darlene will be there to support you, to encourage you, and she will push you when you need a push. She is a phenomenal coach! If you need some direction, maybe just a push; whatever it is you need, Darlene will be there for you and get you where you want to go in life.

Darlene takes you on a journey of self actualization and responsibility. She encourages your every step in knowing you cannot coast up a mountain. She has been able to prompt in me, through life coaching, bringing the subconscious to a conscience level.

Each of us is equipped with a personal compass, which is our conscience. Darlene is able to extract, facilitate and activate this, our true north. I am not sure how she is able to achieve this; however she is very insightful and gifted and uses a variety of techniques to set you on a path of self-awareness and self-creation. She intuitively was capable of facilitating my process of cultivating growth within myself. It was not always easy, but it was life changing. She is always on target.

She has the tenacity of taking one to one’s own task. She is always encouraging and never critical. She has altered the course of my life – into a new direction.

Darlene was an invaluable resource for help and healing when my mother’s care became overwhelming to me. Not only did she work with me through my stressors, but worked with my mother to help us bridge our communication gap due to my mother’s oncoming dementia.

Darlene has incredible insight into the journey of aging, as well as an action- oriented approach for the person trying to cope with the challenges of being a caregiver. I credit her with the peaceful relationship I am currently enjoying with my mother.
