After five minutes of my first conversation with Heather, I felt at ease and reassured that I was not the “only one”.  Before our first session, I felt as though I had a unique situation—I was a working mother of three babies with a demanding, hectic career and family.  However, what I came to learn is that I was not the only mom who had feelings of guilt.  Although my children were genuinely the best things I had ever done, I had lost myself in the process and entered a very solitary world that I did not know quite how to navigate.  Heather initially impressed me with her professionalism and compassion—I felt that she really understood what I was going through and what I wanted to achieve.  She definitely has some “mojo” going on because through our discussions I began to realize what I thought I wanted wasn’t AT ALL what I wanted….

Through sincerity, encouragement and pure talent, Heather has assisted in helping me find out who I am in addition to a mom of three and what I needed to put back into my life in order to reach my goals both personally and professionally.  Even the most “together” mom would benefit from Heather’s expertise and will have fun going through the process! I look forward to our sessions and always feel more focused and energized to stay on track afterwards—-I cannot thank her enough!!

In addition to offering guidance for making parenthood more enjoyable and less stressful, Heather helped return my focus to some of my non-child related interests. She validated the need to pay attention to myself outside the role of mother. Her coaching style really does embody the philosophy of “a happy mother-happy child.”

Heather offers a great combination of insight, empathy, and encouragement. I ended each session with a concrete list of to-do items, and perhaps more importantly, a renewed sense of optimism. It’s such a nice feeling to know that someone is rooting for you and trying to help get you where you want to go!

Working with Heather made me feel much more comfortable with my insecurities, as well as my occasional ambivalence, about motherhood. It has been hard to find other women who will be really truthful how hard this job can be. Heather has a way of laying her own experiences out on the table that made me feel completely safe about being honest with her and letting my vulnerabilities around motherhood show.

Heather is an excellent listener and I felt really heard and understood by her. Even through my disjointed ramblings about what was going on for me, she was able to glean the core issues I was facing and give me some clear feedback. Heather’s coaching is practical and down-to-earth. Within the first two sessions I was able to move past a couple of big roadblocks in my professional as well as my personal life.

Heather brings together the best aspects of counseling and coaching. My time with her was very well spent and I look forward to working with her again.

Even prior to reentering the workforce, as a new mom, it would have been such a relief to have someone to actively listen to my thoughts, fears, questions and hopes. Heather has been through it all, without knowing it all and she encouraged me to face ambiguity with a confident, experimental approach as well – one that breaks traditional expectations while demystifying the “Life Coaching” process.

Heather is indescribably sensitive, accessible, supportive and intuitive throughout the coaching journey. She brings a unique blend of intelligence and compassion to the table. From my heart, I can say that I’ve found a friend in her.

My wish for all working moms is to feel the calm, hopeful confidence that I have gained from working with Heather and I’d like to thank Heather for making this such a fun and rewarding experience for me!
