I was always told I “should” be a therapist, because I can help so many people, but in reality I never wanted to hear people talk about their pasts and not do anything about it since I am the type of person who always looks to do better than the me before, so I asked myself in what other ways can I help those help themselves? That’s when the universe started “whispering” in my ear about Coaching, so I looked up what Coaching really was and I instantly knew, “Yup, this is EXACTLY how I can help.” Listening is one of the BEST skills I know and that is the number one ingredient to being the best Life Coach; along with being present with your client, allowing them to feel safe in your presence is important as well as maintaining a positive mindset through the growth and development of the client’s journey within.

"Danielle was deeply engaged. She was able to recognize that I had more on my mind and encouraged me to disclose more at one point. Otherwise, she was very empathetic in that she acknowledged when things were challenging for me to overcome. I felt seen, heard, and understood….. Danielle was very patient with me. She encouraged me to talk and gave me space to get everything out. I didn’t feel judged as I spoke about personal issues. I felt comforted by her presence and shared some laughs at appropriate times…….Furthermore, she made sure about halfway into the session to see if I felt like progress was being made. This allowed me to consider how much time we had left and allowed me to feel in control of the time. Thus, the entire session was client-oriented and I felt encouraged to spend the time the way I needed. I think this was what made it such a powerful experience compared to other coaches that struggle with giving their clients the time they need for the real work to happen."
