What People Are Saying...

When I think about Ann’s coaching, I’m reminded of a quote from Saul Bellow: 
“All the striving is for one end…to know what we are and what we are for, to
know our purpose, to seek grace.” Ann understands this quest.

She guided me with business specifics and illuminated and challenged my assumptions
about money and work. The practical outcome is that my income has doubled and stabilized. More essentially, I feel aligned with my purpose and the contribution that
I can make to this world. Ann’s support as a coach has been invaluable.  Linda Chrisman, www.SomaticWisdom.com

Ann is a genius of a coach -- phenomenally intuitive, deftly able to move complex internal  blocks with a few deceptively simple words and processes. She's also warm and funny. I was a fly buzzing against the glass; she quickly helped me find the open window and out into the world! Ruth L. Schwartz, Ph.D., www.TheWriterAsShaman.com

The astounding thing about Ann is her clarity and speed.

I knew for years it would make me both healthier and happier to leave my
corporate job, engage my creativity, and bring more of who I really am
to my work.

Within a few sessions, I recognized so many of the beliefs I held that created my ambivalence about making a change.  Ann deftly helped me to examine the fears underlying these beliefs and address them.

I have worked with a variety of job counselors, life-goals teachers and taken
classes with spiritual leaders. However, I have never encountered anyone with
Ann's ability to grab a hold of unconscious emotional blocks, negative experiences
and energy and gently work them through with such expediency. Her gift is truly extraordinary.

She walked with me through the portal of time, between the past and future, until
I was comfortable and confident enough with the present to take action. Then she provided sound, practical advice and very positive support for moving forward.

I am writing to thank you wholeheartedly for the many gifts I have received from you in my business coaching sessions: a growing confidence, a grounded belief in myself and my work, and a new skill of bringing my focus to what brings me joy.

When the idea for Little Spoons Café began to sprout in my imagination, I could not
see myself creating my own business, much less one that stemmed from what
I love to do: cooking and mentoring. I had always worked for someone else, and it
just seemed like too much to ask to have my own business rooted in my heart.

Now Little Spoons Café has been midwifed into the world, and somehow, I have traversed a passage that gave me a sense of having my feet in the world for the first time. I honor and thank you for helping me to discover the reality of being "earthed." Eric Pomert, Owner of Little Spoons Café, www.littlespoonscafe.com
