"I was unfamiliar with the concept of life ‘coaching’ prior to working with Nina, but I truly cannot say enough great things about my experience being coached by her. She helped guide me through a painful and unexpected career transition period, working with me to align personal and professional goals and learn not to be so fearful of uncertainty. From the start I felt both comfortable and seen, and our regular sessions held me accountable for reaching the goals that I set for myself. I entered into our coaching partnership believing to a certain extent that I was already doing an ok job of getting myself through a difficult period. From my first session with Nina I realized that this was not the case - it took hearing many of my own words repeated back to me in the safe and open setting she created in order for me to realize just how much I was holding myself back. She has a gift for reframing statements and asking follow up questions so that they resonate with you in different and meaningful ways, and I strongly believe I would have continued to feel stuck and disempowered without her guidance. Her visualization exercises were effective and always complemented by thoughtful insights and genuine compassion. Thanks to Nina, I completed my coaching sessions feeling optimistic about my future, and more in control of my own life."
