Client Experience

“Lena saved me from burn out! I started working with Lena when I was struggling between balancing an intense corporate career and trying to find the time to pursue my personal goals and passions outside of work. Lena taught me to stop and feel how my stress affects my body rather than just mentally pushing through it as I had been doing until now. Through working with Lena, I learned the importance of finding and creating empty space in my day to allow myself to be present. Lena gave me exercises to find balance and focus that are simple and quick enough to work into my fast-paced and high-stress lifestyle. Since working with Lena, I have not only found work/life balance but also more confidence in myself! Thank you Lena!”

“Working with Lena was such a privilege. I came to her to create a stronger foundation of confidence and presence in my work. She quickly made me feel welcome with her calm, grounded energy, and arrived to our coaching sessions with an open mind, ready to meet me wherever I was. She provided a supportive listening ear, asked thoughtful questions that helped me reflect more deeply about issues, and shared several tools and exercises that helped me shift beyond my stuck place. As a chronic overthinker, I appreciated her holistic approach and the inclusion of somatic practices that got me out of my head and into my body. I’m grateful for our work together and see the fingerprints of our work in my day to day. I have continued to use a couple of the tools she suggested, and was able to move through a tough professional period much more quickly than I would have otherwise.”

“Working with Lena was a milestone in my life that I am glad I took a chance on. There were lots of moments of tears and laughter, of truth and reflection, but best of all, of healing. Lena played the role of the listener; a role no one was willing to stage. I just needed someone to listen and hear what I had to say. She not only listened but took my hand and taught me how to listen to myself, how to mend myself, and how to grow myself. I never would have gotten here without Lena’s patience and belief in me. With a heavy heart, I say, thank you Lena, for helping me achieve my goal - to see a healthy version of me in 2023.”

“Lena shepherded me through a significant career transition. At the beginning of our work together, Lena did a great job of developing a tailored coaching plan for my needs and goals. We engaged in an initial assessment where we discussed what I was hoping to get out of the coaching process. Lena took the time to understand my interests, concerns, and aspirations before developing a personalized coaching plan for me.

Lena’s Big Law background and stellar credentials mean that she can offer targeted, relevant advice for professionals who are trying to assess where they are in their personal and work lives and where they want to go. Beyond that, Lena is an empathetic listener who works with her clients in a judgment-free zone. She created a safe and nurturing space to explore new ideas and frameworks in a way that encourages me to branch out of my routine thought patterns and consider new ways of understanding and approaching my circumstances. I felt very comfortable discussing my concerns and testing out new ways of thinking while working with Lena. She provided valuable insights and prompts for my career transition as well as my personal development.

Through my work with Lena, I learned to work towards a more mindful approach to life and developed strategies to cope with challenges and difficulties. Lena asked thoughtful questions, helped challenge certain limiting beliefs, and helped me build a toolbox that I can use to overcome obstacles. I wholeheartedly endorse Lena as a coach to anyone who is at a critical juncture in their life and/or career and needs a friendly and thoughtful ear.”
