"Before coaching with Carol, I was in the midst of seeking medical help for PPA and PPD. I was just getting my feet back under me after a long hard year in the pandemic, with a newborn, and losing my job! Add to that becoming a full time teacher for my older child with online schooling, and my partner's demanding shift work schedule - I was feeling the desperate inner cry for help!
The only concern I had truly, was if we would be a good fit! As it turned out, Carol is extremely easy going, with a sparkle and a sweetness that makes conversations flow easily! We fit very well together, personally, and worked awesome together for her coaching program.
Each session began just the way I needed it to, with mindful breathing! What a simple, yet powerful way of grounding into the moment, before lighting up a fire of exciting personal plans, and goals with a cheerleader and positive energy coach leading the way!
Carol gave me simple wisdoms and totally manageably sized goals tailored to my own personal needs. She had a way of saying “you can do this” in so many different ways and gently reminded me of my own power.
She makes the big things seem possible, with little steps. It felt like working with a friend, who’s encouragement comes from an honest and caring place. I felt motivated to push myself a bit farther, knowing she’d be there to celebrate my victories when we had our next call!
Working together ended up being fun, eye-opening, and helped put me into a space of self-confidence that I knew was somewhere in there, hiding! I now feel capable of managing my days better.
Carol is a sparkly, energetic, positive woman, who’s got a natural ability to make you feel honestly cared for. Her words are gentle, encouraging and thought provoking. She makes you WANT to go after your dreams, rather than put them back on the shelf. I highly recommend Carol to be your personal coach and cheerleader. She is the friend you need at the sidelines, who’s warmth and genuine joyful vibe keeps you excited and motivated to keep running this race (and take breaks regularly too!).
