“Thank you! Coaching with you has been like a day at the spa for my brain!”

Working with Desiree was one of the most enlightening experiences I’ve had. I met her by chance while I was working at a bar and having a quarter-life crisis. Desiree created a safe environment in which her curiosity allowed my own curiosity to flourish. Learning to unpack my own limiting perspectives was a challenging process and one that I struggled with greatly. With time and a growing openness I started to notice perspective changes naturally start happening in my life; I felt judgement towards others start to become curiosity. I have always considered myself an empathetic person, yet when working with Desiree I realized I genuinely struggled to have empathy for myself. Through nearly a year of coaching I’ve grown in my ability, flexibility, and empathy towards myself and others. Though I’ve given her pushback, Desiree has really instilled in me the importance of curiosity: towards life, myself, and others. 

I knew I needed to strengthen my emotional intelligence in order to increase my effectiveness as a professional, and Desiree was a godsend in this regard! She helped me work through some thorny challenges I was facing at the time—but more importantly, she gave me a blueprint for how to navigate such situations in the future. Desiree taught me to lead with connection and always stay curious. Thank you, Desiree!

I can’t thank you enough for the empathy, support, and guidance you’ve given me.

One-on-one coaching with Desiree has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself in a really long time. I started out somewhat of a skeptic, as I was unsure as to what was to come out of this experience. The intention of our time together was initially for my professional development, but quickly became focused on my personal development in order to reach my professional goals. She created a very comfortable and psychologically safe environment right away which allowed me to be vulnerable — something that I have difficulty with — to further explore my Emotional Intelligence. She radically listened to me, and asked thought-provoking questions to provide many ah-ha moments I didn’t know I needed. I am so thankful I was referred to Desiree and to have her in my life.
