Great coaches are hard to find. I am so thankful to have found one in you! Thank you for being my guiding light, encouraging me, and making me feel confident and more self-aware….”

"She’s a perfect blend of insightful, patient, caring, and challenging. Her ability to understand and synthesize what I was exploring quickly allowed me to bounce back and create a lot of clarity.

"I had a fantastic coaching experience with Sally."
