Having had the privilege of receiving coaching from her, I can confidently say that her presence, skill, and insight have made a profound impact on both my professional and personal life. From the very first session, Ellen demonstrated exceptional professionalism—always punctual, well-prepared, and fully present. She created a space where I felt both supported and challenged. Her thoughtful, probing questions encouraged me to dig deeper, clarify my goals, and take action in ways I had been avoiding for years.

One of the most significant outcomes of our work together was a major job transition—a step I had contemplated for a long time but never felt quite ready to take. With her guidance, I not only found the clarity I needed but also the courage and momentum to move forward. It has been one of the most positive and transformative decisions of my career.

Beyond that, Ellen has coached me through difficult workplace conversations and helped me navigate the complexities of new responsibilities in my role. Her coaching helped me show up more confidently, communicate more effectively, and lead with greater integrity and purpose. I wholeheartedly recommend Ellen to anyone seeking a thoughtful, effective, and empowering life coach. She is a true professional who brings both heart and skill to her practice.
