Appreciation

My life has been forever changed by coaching with Lianne. Through our sessions I have been able to contact a whole new place inside myself - the wisest, deepest part of me. I have also greatly strengthened my relationship with myself and I know this will serve me well all my life.

Honestly, life feels easier since working with Lianne. Even when things aren’t perfect, she has helped me access my flow, ease, and see things from all the important vantage points.

She brought to our work work an immense amount of knowledge, not just from two rich coaching schools, but also in psychology, spirituality and yoga. The wisdom she has gained from her own personal spiritual practice, professional experience, and rich life journey make one on one time with her profoundly enlightening.

I don’t doubt that I will turn to Lianne for coaching time and time again in my life – she is an incredible, loving, wise resource.

Since working with you, my life has gone from shades of grey to full colour.

When I made the decision to work with a Life Coach I had the opportunity to choose between three individuals who came highly recommended to me.  I met with each to determine the best fit and although all three were strong, I was drawn to Lianne’s energy and I was intrigued by her training through the Martha Beck program.   I have had the immense pleasure of working with Lianne and the impact she has made to my life has been tremendous.  I feel that Lianne has connected me to my own inner voice and to a core strength I didn’t know I had.  She has been a critical piece of the journey to having a deeper and more fulfilling sense of self.   Which I have come to realize is the layer of foundation that is needed to having a fulfilling life and being the best I can be.  Lianne has a unique style that leaves me feeling that I am the driver yet she is there to provide direction when I am unsure what to do next and also doesn’t allow me to hide from what I need to see.   She is intuitive and can guide me to the exact place I need to explore.  I feel that Lianne is able to draw from her accredited training but perhaps even more importantly she draws from her own intuition to guide our discussions.  I have a deep level of trust with Lianne which allows me to go to a deeper and more honest place during our coaching sessions.  Lianne provides me with a sense of accountability to move forward and make progress in my goals.  She also makes me feel that I have a cheerleader who is there to root for me.   I would highly recommend Lianne to anyone who is considering a Life Coach.

In working with Lianne I feel known and understood in a very unusual way. Lianne is able to probe - gently but persistently - to the heart of the conflicts that are causing me the most grief. As she does that, she helps me untangle the knot of emotions that sometimes presents as a sharp lump in my chest. Lianne's ability to see into the core of me coupled with the respectful and kind way she treads there has earned my absolute confidence and trust. I believe that to feel understood and seen is the deepest need and desire most of us have in life, and I am very grateful to Lianne for providing that for me.

Lianne has helped me be the person I want to be. She has helped me wade through my endless supply of self help information and helped me pinpoint exactly what it is I need to be my best self. She continues to do all of this with humor and grace. Lianne holds me accountable to myself and represents my best self. No problem is too big or small for her. Every situation that arouses uncomfortable feelings for me become fodder for growth and discussion. Our conversations can be as simple as discussing a friendship or as complex as dealing with deep family issues. This experience has been quite different from therapy because Lianne does not allow me to blame others for my feelings; rather, she encourages me to take responsibility for my reaction to others, which is the work of my highest self. What I love about Lianne is that she does not subscribe to one person's philosophy except her own, yet I can ask her about any current self help or philosophical movements, and I know she will have knowledge and insights about it. Lianne is committed to her coaching practice with her whole heart, and it shines through in every call. She accepts you for who you are and does not judge, but gently prods until your best self shines forth. Lianne is highly intuitive and feels her way through her coaching. I know she is 100% present when we talk and she is able to cut to the truth in a matter of moments. Lianne has been trained by the best coaches in the world, but her natural ability to coach couldn't have been taught. She was born to do this! She understands the nature of the human mind, heart, and spirit, and will challenge you to become the best person you can be. You owe it to yourself to be the greatest You you can be! Lianne always reminds me that the universe is waiting for my gifts. I believe the universe is smiling because Lianne is sharing hers. :)

Lianne reminds me to be conscious of the here and now and to keep in mind that the choices I make today will guide my actions and decisions in the future. Lianne has a wonderful way of helping you to see the obvious without telling you it's there. With her help I have awakened a part of myself that I wasn't even sure still existed. Everybody needs a Lianne in her life.

Lianne’s wisdom, her inner knowing, is uncanny in its instinct for unveiling truth. With a gentle, guiding voice and firm commitment to dialogue deeper, she has helped me design a new, extraordinary path for my life. Lianne’s a remarkable, natural coach and a beneficial ally!

I can highly recommend Lianne as a coach. She brought her curiosity, humour, and straight shooting style to our coaching calls. She always helped me find new perspectives when I was stuck, and challenged me in ways that felt safe, supported, and kind of intriguing! I really liked how she cut through some of the justifications I had been telling myself, and saw what I was able to do, even when I couldn't. (And she was right!) She was a great help to me, and emboldened me in all the right ways. Thank you, Lianne!
