Wellness Coaching Testimonials

“I was very inspired by my first Life and Wellness session with Sandy.”

She’s a smart listener, asked insightful questions, and compassionately encouraged me to adopt helpful practices. She offered practical suggestions I could put into practice right away! I appreciated her professionalism and the way she initiated the session, making sure I was comfortable and understood her process. I highly recommend her services!

“Sandy is truly amazing! I met with her on 5 separate occasions and each of our hours together was productive.”

There is a sincerity in her voice and tone that not only speaks to her character, but also lays the groundwork for trust. She is thorough and clear in explaining what her role is for you, the client, each time that you meet with her. She is an extremely good listener, never interrupted my thought process as I was speaking and took notes so the 2 of us could review later together. If there were times during my session when she thought that something that she could share about her personal life was relevant, she would share it.

Never to the point where I felt that it took away from my sessions – only to help, and then she was done. It helped in validating my feelings and thoughts and not feeling alone. She asked thought provoking questions and took the time to process the information before her next question. I had a few revelation moments, for sure, all based on her questions and not stemming from anything that I even thought I had been struggling with at the time. Our time together never felt generic or a “one size fits all.”

I even got to enjoy some breath work at the beginning of each session to help me focus on our session and leave my morning and the outside world behind for a while. She cares about helping people and that is nothing less than CLEAR.

“Sandy was so encouraging and helped me create a plan to prioritize self-care, reminding me that taking care of myself makes me a better mom and wife.”

I had an amazing coaching session with Sandy! Sandy guided me to see the importance of filling my own cup and finding joy, even in the busy chaos of homeschooling four kids. Her insight was empowering, and I left feeling more confident and ready to embrace a healthier, happier balance in my life. Whole-heartedly recommend!

“There is so much I can say about having Sandy as a coach!”

Working with Sandy was lots of fun! She is a wonderful transformational health and wellness coach who asks thought-provoking questions and offers insight that really changes perspectives! She also fearlessly engages in challenging limiting beliefs and encourages you along your journey!

Before working with Sandy, I felt unsure about where I was in my life and had no idea which direction to go, but after our sessions I had clarity in where I am, where I wanted to go, and what I wanted to do with my health! She helped me see and rearrange where I prioritize my health! I’m now putting my health first, feeling more energized and motivated, doing more physical activity, eating healthier, and caring for myself more than I have been in years! Also, it’s easy to see she has fun with the sessions and brings a positive energy every time we meet!

“What I enjoyed most about Sandy as a coach was her sincere empathy, her total focus and active listening skills, and her gentle, yet firm, encouragement.”

When I first saw Sandy’s posting on Facebook advertising Wellness Coaching, I was both intrigued and elated! The timing could not have been more perfect – at just about that same time, I had experienced an epiphany about my life, my health, and my future. I realized that in the many incarnations of my roles as mother, wife, and career woman, I had really lost my sense of self. I had stopped taking care of my own physical and mental health, I had forgotten the things that brought me joy, and I was slowly turning into someone I didn’t know and didn’t especially like. I realized that on top of this self-neglect, I also felt as though I had no one to talk to about these feelings and the problems they were causing in my marriage and my overall well-being.

…then came Sandy!

In the course of our coaching sessions, I was able to really open up about my innermost feelings and identify my personal wellness goals. More importantly, she helped me see how all the facets of my wellbeing are interconnected – mind, body, spirit. She showed me how important it is for me to take care of myself so that I can continue to take care of my loved ones. She encouraged my desire to eat better, improve my overall health, lower my blood pressure and cholesterol, move my body more, and use mindful/meditative breathing techniques.

What I enjoyed most about Sandy as a coach was her sincere empathy, her total focus and active listening skills, and her gentle, yet firm, encouragement. Sandy has a way of listening and reflecting without judgement or prejudice. I always looked forward to our sessions and felt lighter and more empowered after each one.

Because Sandy herself is a wife, mother, and career woman, she is able to genuinely understand the struggles of work-life balance and is able to dispense meaningful advice on ways to achieve such a balance. I would recommend her coaching services to anyone looking to find an empathetic, caring, encouraging, insightful, nurturing, and knowledgeable wellness professional.

“Sandy was able to relate to me as a mom, I found that very comforting. She has a very calming demeanor.”

I loved working with Sandy. She was great at listening. She took in information, then formulated straight forward insite. I always felt at ease during our sessions. Sandy asked questions which helped me to pinpoint my issues. I am a busy mom of two teens, as moms we often don’t take time for ourselves. To me the session helped me slow down and sit in my thoughts and worries. Get feelings out that I normally don’t stop to address.

When I started these coaching sessions, I had a very small idea of what to expect. Afterwards I can see how this field of coaching could be very beneficial. Treating the whole person!!

“My session with Sandy for Life and Wellness Coaching left me feeling so empowered and peaceful.”

She brings a calm and curious presence and asks such thoughtful questions. I also left with some very practical help from a nurses perspective, and some clear action steps forward. Highly recommend!!

“I would recommend to anyone feeling stuck in their ways, wanting to make a change.”

After the first and second session with Sandy for Life and Wellness Coaching I was already feeling a weight lifted from some inner resistance I had,  as well as ready to take some actionable steps by moving with a clearer intention that even as a high achiever, I wasn’t able to work through myself. I enjoyed how she started each session, asked thoughtful questions to guide our discussion, and you can tell her passion and patience. As a fellow PT, I think coaching goes hand in hand! I would recommend to anyone feeling stuck in their ways, wanting to make a change and trusting your own intuition, and on a path to healthy healing!
