About Me
It can be very hard to just be yourself.
We are all taught to be someone that pleases others, our spouse, our boss, parents, our community, our teachers, our siblings, etc.
We spend our lives trying to connect with others - to feel safe and a part of something that will give us joy and satisfaction. Unfortunately, this doesn’t entirely work because our outward focus naively eliminates us from the picture.
Without a relationship with ourselves, without fully understanding who we are, how we respond to life, and what we need to be able to care for ourselves well - we can never be a whole and integral part of the world that commands so much of our attention.
The exquisite beauty of turning towards yourself and getting to know you, what you need and what you desire, is that you can learn to claim what makes you whole within, living fully into your personal purpose with authenticity and peace.

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Loretta. From the moment I began working with her, it was clear that her approach was not only professional but deeply personal and empathetic. Loretta has an incredible ability to listen, understand, and guide. She provides me with practical tools and strategies that are tailored to my unique situation, helping me navigate both personal and professional challenges. Her insightful questions and supportive feedback have been instrumental in helping me gain clarity and confidence. What truly sets Loretta apart is her genuine commitment to her clients growth. She creates a safe and encouraging space where you feel empowered to explore your goals and aspirations. Her positive energy and unwavering belief in my potential were truly motivating. Thanks to Loretta, Ive made significant progress towards my goals and have developed a clearer vision for my future. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking guidance and support on their journey towards a more fulfilling life. Thank you Loretta, for your dedication and for making such a positive impact on my life!

Loretta is a fantastic life coach who uses effective strategies infused with intuition in her sessions. Our sessions helped me strengthen interpersonal skills and communicate effectively with people whose communication styles I'd previously found rather unnerving. Loretta engaged me in reflective and envisioning exercises that helped me pinpoint personal strengths to identify an actionable plan to start on a new career path. She is patient, clear, and empathetic. I can highly recommend Loretta as a life coach.

I was really struggling to make a decision about my career path. As a type A, logical thinker, I spent hours (and days) coming up with pros and cons lists to guide my decision. I was stuck. I called Loretta. I walked her through my pros and cons, and she broke them. She asked me questions about how my heart felt and how my body felt; these are things I never thought to ask myself. The answers surprised me and after only a few calls with Loretta, I had cleared my head of the lists and became confident in the solution. Not even 3 months later, I accepted a job that I may have been blind to if it weren't for our calls. This is the first time I have ever been able to say I truly love what I do. I can't recommend Loretta enough!

I sought help from a therapist at three different times in my life. Each time I was not able to stay with that process longer than a few sessions. I felt evaluated and scheduled and it didn't feel right for me. Life Coaching sessions with Loretta have been engaging and at a pace that I set, and give me clarity on my own most pressing questions.

One, Loretta kept us gently on course and focused. She granted me just the right amount of space to explore and voice things without letting me go too deep into old wounds or off in the weeds of tangential experiences. Two, (and this is truly exceptional and the first time ever a coach or counselor has done this) not once during the session did she turn the attention back towards herself or her own challenges. It's so common when I'm receiving a session to have the conversation flip to where I end up listening to the practitioner's challenges. I noted the remarkable absence of that. She kept it pure and focused and didn't pull me away from facing my own fears and issues. Three, she sat with me that whole time in extraordinary kindness while at the same time holding firm to the work and leaning into me to search deep for my own answers. The space she created and held for me was exquisite.

I had the privilege of working with Loretta, and it was wonderful. I have done a lot of inner work on myself over the years through personal development seminars, therapy and coaching, but was still struggling with my weight. I hired Loretta to help me get to the core of my issue. Loretta created a safe environment where I felt completely at ease opening up. Her soothing voice guided me through many different exercises that had me feeling very connected to my inner child and myself, which really helped me. I was also able to let go of some tension and connect with my body – which isn’t always easy for me because I’m frequently “on the go.” The way Loretta was able to get me out of my head and have me connect with my heart was really impactful, and I left each session feeling lighter and more focused, which enabled me to be more aware of the food choices I was making. Loretta has a remarkable ability to hold space and provide encouragement while asking powerful questions. I highly recommend Loretta if you’re stuck and/or looking for a change because something isn’t working in your life. You’ll be glad you did!
