Clients Reflect on Their Coaching Experience

  • I came to coaching primarily because I found myself stuck, stagnant, and rudderless in my professional life and a friend recommended that I contact Margaret. Before meeting Margaret, I viewed coaching with general skepticism, my (uninformed) thinking being that coaching mostly entailed peppy goal-setting and productivity techniques with periodic sprinklings of affirmation, all of which assuredly have their place but were not all I needed to get sailing again. I did not know it, but what I did need was to take a long guided tour of my deepest values, most persistent doubts, and highest aspirations. Margaret led me on this tour and along the way expertly illuminated a great many things about me that I had either forgotten, suppressed, or never really understood, at least not at a conscious level. Margaret’s coaching process revealed to me to my whole self in much higher resolution than I’ve experienced ever before and gave me powerful tools to draw on this deeper, whole self the next time life’s storms come around, and for enjoying life's fair weather just the same. Coaching with Margaret was truly revelatory, and that is much more than I had hoped for.

  • Margaret is an excellent coach. We worked together over a period of about 9 months and I saw significant changes and improvements as a result of working together. Margaret is compassionate, caring, kind and an excellent listener. She creates a space where you feel comfortable being vulnerable and she asks excellent questions to help you come to your own conclusions. WARNING: you should only work with Margaret if you want to feel happier, more content and more of your authentic self.

  • I think the most important quality of any coach is the ability to listen with and open and empathetic heart. And when that coach has also done their own inner work, there is a wisdom that informs the listening. This advanced quality in a coach is not guaranteed through their work alone but comes through the Universe as a gift. Margaret has been blessed with this gift. I benefited and grew greatly from my work with Margaret, and I can highly recommend her as a coach.

  • Margaret’s thoughtful, empathetic approach helped me work toward solutions for some personal and work-related issues that I had been dealing with for most of my life. She keenly provided me with meaningful, creative exercises that touched on my literary and artistic interests, while also challenging me to get outside my comfort zone and deal with the very real issues that I was facing. I am beyond grateful for Margaret’s coaching, and cannot recommend her enough!

  • I worked with Margaret for several months and do not have enough good things to say about my experience. Margaret was extremely perceptive, empathetic, and warm. She's a fantastic listener and worked hard to deeply understand my goals and challenges. She created an individualized coaching program to help me feel more grounded, present, and happy. I've seen amazing results since our program. I highly recommend working with her!
