Tammy is an extremely gifted life coach. She is amazing in her ability to be absolutely present, authentic, articulate, and able to track on multiple levels. She has astute eyes, ears and a lovely unconditional heart that are able to zoom in with laser sharp perception to assess what is unfolding and how all the pieces fit together. I can recommend her as one of the best all time humans on the planet to work with!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Tammy and felt like she really helped me make some tough decisions during a difficult time in my life. She had a great ability to listen, identify the underlying issues and to raise probing questions. She is an excellent sounding board-listening and guiding, but allowing me to find the right answers on my own. Our discussions allowed me to take the steps I needed to turn things around for myself financially.

I worked with Tammy Rust as a life coach on a specific issue that I needed help with, and she helped me unlock the door and resolve the issue. She treated me with compassion and love, and gave me the tools I needed to grow. I highly recommend her and hope you will consider working with her and unlocking your own potential.

Tammy Rust is an exquisite life coach with a very grounded approach to help draw out your true self and personalized needs for successful advancement of your dreams. She listens carefully and summarizes so accurately what she hears from her client. With a few subtle and insightful suggestions I have been able to breakthrough some of those 'stuck' places and move forward with my goals.

I’ve known Tammy Rust for over 20 years now and besides having her as a long-time friend, she has been invaluable over the years as a sounding board for many issues (trials or tribulations). She has assisted me as a Life Coach through many situations. The one that stands out most predominantly for me is when I finally came to the conclusion after years of testing and even more years of frustration that I would never be able to have children “naturally”. Finally, both my husband I agreed to the next step; which was adoption. This was/is something both extremely personal, and difficult. Not only did I need Tammy to listen to my tear filled conversations about my desire to be a mom, but also for me to realize we would not be able to have our children grow up together were really hard things for me to accept. Never once did Tammy tell me what to do, how to feel, or pass judgment on me or my husband. Instead, she was there to be a friend to stand in the gap- when so many others were telling us what to do, or not to worry, or worse yet they told us their success story. Tammy helped me feel complete, when I was feeling rather broken. She was a prayer warrior, coach and friend for me when we began the process of adoption. I am happy to report we did adopt, and are in the process of doing a possible “Foster/Adopt” again. Watch out Tammy- I will be calling for my next coaching session! Tammy is someone who over the years, I have come to trust her judgment of people and what they can become. She sees the potential not only in people, but in every situation. Her no-nonsense, gentle way she tells me: “get over myself” (as if I am the only person with infertility), and then with love she says: “how are we going to fix it”, and proceeds to help me map out a game plan. She would never ever admit it, but I find that her sense of humor, and down to earth reality about any situation, is really quite comical and refreshing. Tammy can get you to see the humor in many situations and I’ve learned to laugh about life instead of get so frustrated with myself and others. You have a great coach for anything you need help to tackle. Thanks Tammy!

To Whom It May Concern, I have been working with Tammy Rust for many years having her coach me through a few major life changes (in my career) and also seeking her advice when it comes to some "just life" type of experiences. Frankly, I would not be where I am today without the help and guidance from Tammy Rust. Tammy has helped me to realize that I was better than the positions I held. She has helped me to find my strengths and capitalize on them. I have always felt that I had a good amount of self confidence but after working with Tammy, she has helped me to find even more of my own potential than I could have ever imagined. Tammy is a gentle but strong encourager and thinks with an open and wise mind. I appreciate Tammy's truthful and well thought out knowledge and encouragement. A bit of a background, I met Tammy when I was 27 years old. I had been successful working my way up through a company in the Hospitality for nearly six years prior. I worked hard and very loyally for those years to make "something" of myself but continued to hit my head against the wall and never felt like I worked hard enough or that I was good enough although I worked over 50 hours in a week and never got to spend time with my family for more than a day. Tammy helped me to realize that I was a hard worker, a great worker and that I deserved so much more than what I had to go through. Eventually I left that company and found a wonderful job that appreciated my talents and paid me more. I could go on and on explaining to you that after working for that wonderful company, I was ready to really spread my wings and Tammy helped me to discover that I am an incredible Boss of myself! Eight years after meeting Tammy Rust, I now own a very successful business in Santa Cruz. Basically without Tammy's excellent expertise and honesty, I would have never had the courage or maybe even the motivation to go out on my own and find my entrepreneur self! I will always be happy to answer any questions or be of reference to Tammy. I think everyone should have a Tammy Rust in their back pocket.

This was on the notecard of unexpected flowers she sent me 11/16/10 "Hi Tammy, I want to say thank you for our call on Monday and then the follow-up on Tuesday. It was such a blessing...I was able to work through something which I had been really struggling with for the past couple of weeks. I appreciate your wisdom, your compassion, your willingness to follow spirits guidance."

If you have always wanted to know why you, (fill in your own blank: spend more than you earn, go after the wrong jobs, partners or friends or why you never, finish what you start, have a job that you love, etc.); If you are truly tired of reading self-help books and spending thousands on therapy, Tammy can quickly and easily help you find the key to unlocking that Aha! moment you have been waiting for all of your life. Tammy's warmth and unconditional acceptance of me as well as her ability to point out nonsense, (I like to call it her B.S. detector), made it so easy to get to the real issues and work on what was hampering my ability to move past them. Tammy has a clarity of thought and understanding that is unmatched in my experience. She has helped me see the real cause of some of my most troubling and frustrating habits and then helped me find the right tools to work on conquering these issues.

In my experience, I found Tammy to be extremely intuitive, kind and compassionate. She guided me through some issues I was working with very beautifully and accurately. After speaking with Tammy I felt a new opening in how I related to the issue I was working with. I was able to process and see things with much more clarity. I felt very comfortable working with Tammy and trusted her wisdom and inner knowing. Tammy uses her gifts in service to her clients and I am glad to have the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend Tammy to anyone seeking a great coach with a clear vision.

Tammy Rust is a gifted listener, and she actually hears what I say without judgment. Her ability to rise to a higher plane as I get focused on the smaller picture, is amazing! My own higher purposes are always the topic, instead of the small daily circles that just tend to hold me back. Her input speaks to me, in my head, when times get away from me. She speaks the truth, and her grounded words are soothing and touch my soul. She is a strong person who sees me as the same. She sees me as a person who is striving for my own best, my own higher self. She truly walks with me, I am honored to know her, and I highly recommend her in all her work!

Tammy is a gentle life coach and she has a soothing approach to all issues. I was blessed to find her in my path when I was going through some difficult times. She listens carefully, repeats what you have to say, and in the process is able to guide you to the solution in such a gently way that you end up feeling good about yourself. Her suggestions were to the point and I was able to start enjoying life again. I was lucky to find her and will not hesitate to ask her for help again when I need it.

HYPNOSIS RECOMMENDATION-STOP SMOKING After being a closet smoker for 20 years and trying to quit numerous times, I am now smoke free because of Tammy Rust. I had tried everything, the patch, the gum, cold turkey, even a different hypnotherapist (who charged me twice as much as Tammy did)-nothing worked. I just would go right back to my nasty little habit. I was so sick of having to plan my super busy days around getting my cigarette. After meeting Tammy, having her analyze my smoking habits and cravings, I knew she was going to help me quit. Tammy made me feel comfortable, she really got into my personal reasons for smoking and quitting, she gave me lots of tools to help me through the quitting process and she even checked in with me for encouragement after our sessions. One of the hardest parts about quitting is the first few weeks, after having my sessions with Tammy, I hardly craved at all. I didn't supplement not smoking with food; I just went about my days as a normal non smoker. It hardly bothered me that I wasn't smoking. Even when I have been in social scenes with smokers and having wine with friends, there has not even been a pang of craving, actually it’s more like I feel bad for them and no I don't want a cigarette. I can't thank Tammy enough for her help in getting me away from smoking. I have giving all my friends who smoke her number and will continue to sing her praises. I have more time & more energy. My husband is so happy that I no longer smoke. I am not sneaking around trying to fit in a cigarette in between my meetings. I am saving the extra $40 a week I used to spend on smokes. I am not spending my entire day wishing for something that will ruin my health, teeth and eventually kill me. Thank you so much Tammy! Thank you for helping to save my life!!!!!

LIFE COACHING & ANGEL THERAPY RECOMMENDATION I have had the pleasure of working with Tammy Rust regarding a number of life situations from marriage, divorce, business situations, and my immense grief when I lost my mother. The most profound for me was working with her regarding Angel... Therapy. I admit, I was initially very skeptical because I have never heard of this therapy nor tried it before....... Tammy made me feel very comfortable, and it was an immense spiritual experience that helped me to reconnect with my mother. Tammy provided me with insight into how my mother was doing since her passing, receiving messages from my mother and thus allowing me to move forward from the grief that I experienced in losing her. It only took one experience to feel fully healed and release much of what I was holding onto that needed to be released. It was that powerful for me! In addition, Tammy has also been a wonderfully compassionate, helpful, loving counselor through several difficult times in my life. She gives me things to think about and has helped to guide me through these difficult times so I can grow and develop. With her assistance, I have been able to fully move forward in my life in a healthy and productive way. Most importantly, to release and forgive others for the pain they have caused me, including the power of forgiving myself. I have known Tammy since 1995 and highly recommend her for any of your needs given her full repertoire of knowledge and talents whether related to personal, or business needs.

I thank God every day to have found Tammy Rust as my life coach. She has guided me through some of the most difficult times in my life. I have been in a dysfunctional relationship and Tammy gave me the understanding and insight with her deeply intuitive and effective approach to my relationship. I have not been on an airplane since 1994 and I have paid dearly for it. I missed my grandfathers funeral. Tammy with her sharp and her inspiring skills and her encouraging words, have given me a positive outlook and she has me looking at airfare since 1994. She has picked me up from years of not listing to my self and taking care of others. After meeting with her I thought that my kids were the only gift in life and I was wrong. She is a gift in my life. She is truly and absolutely the Best Life Coach and Hypnosis in Santa Cruz.
