Working with Lucy has been enjoyable and extremely helpful in my goal to change jobs. Through careful questioning, I have been able to reflect on my feelings and identify the intermediate steps to my goal. As each step is taken, it has been helpful to evaluate my progress with Lucy, and then make changes if necessary. Some of my earlier job ideas have been discarded. By talking them through and investigating them, the jobs were not realistic to pursue for me. We are continuing on this quest together, and I am very optimistic about the future”.

"I highly recommend Lucy as a coach. I have found her intuition, perspectives and candid feedback very valuable. She supports you in raising the bar on performing and achieving whatever goals you set for yourself!"

“My plans of working for a few more years abruptly ended. For the first time in my life, I was faced with a lot of time to take personal inventory. I found myself still racing, quite scattered and fearful. I was in desperate need of structure and balance. At our first communication, Lucy explained her role and expectations as a Life Coach. Her enthusiasm was contagious. After that first call, my negative attitudes, exacerbated by my job-loss, began to dissipate. Throughout our sessions, I became more willing to step out of my comfort zone and my goals went through some revisions. I gradually accepted my job loss as a catalyst for potential personal growth and began to strive for a balance in my life. This did require homework, and commitment on my part but the results were liberating. Together my Life Coach and I set both short term and long term goals relevant to all aspects of my life. Enabled by a new confidence, I have reached some of my goals and am motivated to continue working on others.”

“Coaching with Lucy has been a positive, non-judgmental, guiding force in my life - Because of my marriage and divorce; I lived in a constant state of "loss." She has always been on "my side", showing me a "how can we make this situation better for you" way to deal with life. Through coaching, Lucy has helped me build my self-esteem and self-confidence so much that I am now unwilling to simply just accept unfair circumstances, personal or professional. She has helped turn my life around from a negative spiral to a positive force. The bottom line is she has truly helped me stand up for myself, get and keep my life together.

I first met Lucy about a year ago and shortly after, I had my first consultation with her. I first had to fill out a form with my strength, weaknesses, goals and time frame for these goals. At that point I knew I had to be realistic about my growth and really take time to think and write this down. Being a very abstract person, I found this a little difficult, but it was exactly what I needed. On my first consultation, she simplified my plan by breaking it down and giving lots and lots of support. From that moment on, I made sure I followed my plan as much as possible because I knew I was being made accountable. With each session I became more confident of my strength as I saw my progress. Within less than a year I had accomplished many of my goals and I intend to continue reaching my highest potential as I follow Lucy’s feedback and advice. Lucy is a warm compassionate life coach. She clarifies step by step on how to organize your life and brings clarity to what you truly desire and how to accomplish it. Elena
