“I learned more than I expected to. I had forgotten how deliberate reflection could feed my soul. I’d forgotten the company of good, strong women, in a soft structure like Annette provided, could be so invigorating. With Annette’s tender coaching, I left with a concrete sense of where I wanted to go next. I could not have made my goals that clear without the tools she provided.

“At a time in my life when I felt stuck, partnering with Annette as my coach was exactly what I needed to move my life forward. I use the skills and resources that I learned from her on a daily basis to create the life I want to live. As a coach, Annette is not only insightful and supportive but she has an innate ability to hone in on the challenges her client faces and to offer suggestions for growth. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Annette as my coach!”
