Corinna I have so enjoyed this entire process! You have been just wonderful--I highly recommend you and will gladly! I'm not sure you actually realize how much you have touched my life and helped me in so many ways. I feel so much stronger and able to be in control again and basically get my life back in order and more importantly hold my head high because I can accomplish things and I am worth it.

Thank you so much for being so patient and encouraging during this process.

The phone calls did wonders for my spirit. Being able to address my issues and putting them down on paper along with a plan to address them was very helpful to me. I am feeling very confident about the coming week.

Thanks again for your help!! I am enjoying this more than I ever thought. And to think I was so nervous about doing this. This has been a very good thing for me. I actually feel more positive and in control with my life which is great! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that!"

Corinna helped me to see that I deserve a full life too

Corinna listened to where I had been and also to who I am as a person. My husband had become ill during our marriage. The distance between how I had thought of myself and the situation I found myself in was vast. Corinna didn't deny the hardships I faced. She understood the day to day work I had to do and the emotional aftermath of abuse. But she treated all of that as chapters of a life that had much more both before and after. Important chapters but not the whole story.

She helped me to slowly make myself important again. The most important shifts were small but powerful. I had been frustrated about not working out and one day a few months after I had started to work with Corinna, it struck me that if I took the time and money I set aside for the children's activities and divided it by 3 rather than by 2, then I could afford the gym and the boys would hardly notice. This is not an idea that came from Corinna. It was a solution that works for me and my family that came out of Corinna's work with me to accept what is and build a better life from it. I still put the children's needs first when I need to but Corinna helped me to see that I deserve a full life too and that with small shifts I can find it."

I undid decades of self-destructive behaviors

How could Corinna's 7 week program compare to the years (and dollars) invested in traditional psychoanalytical therapy? How effective was group sharing via teleconferencing/online forums? How could a group of strangers (sight unseen) from all over the country relate to one another? I had my doubts but the cost of the program was so reasonable that I decided to sign up anyway.

Thank God that my intuition paid off. I worked hard and reaped new behaviors and insights in a very short time. I chose my main goal as well as 7 specific daily goals. At first I thought that my main goal to practice better self care was superficial. But when I began to make my daily/weekly goals it occurred to me that taking care of myself went beyond my progress report, it showed me that I had the will to thrive.

I undid decades of self destructive behaviors. My new behaviors are life-giving and a part of my daily routine now. In my mind, this program eliminates peer/facilitator pressure because I personally designed my goals and point system. I had a facilitator, an accountability partner and the group members to support all of my efforts. It was my time to change, my choice to change and my will to make it happen.

I feel so grateful to have had the women in my group. I still don't know how my group members look like but I could hear and sense their personal concerns, strengths and spirit. We learned trust and acceptance from each other and our stranger status evolved into something quite beautiful. My newfound confidence in myself and hopes for a future with endless possibilities were rooted and nourished by Corinna's successful program.

I recommend her Strong Foundation for a New Direction coaching program to anyone who is ready to make positive changes in a short period of time. Corinna's self care program is progressive and works!!!"

I'm more in control

I learned to stop dwelling on the small setbacks

By attending Corinna's classes, I learned to stop dwelling on the small setbacks that are inevitable and instead see the big picture. Rather than getting frustrated and giving up, I started to enjoy the positive self care changes that I was making and realized that success isn't synonymous with perfection. The online forum and conversations with my accountability partner were a great support if I was having a tough week.

Since completing Corinna's class, I feel much more capable of getting what I want out of life. The veil has been lifted and I now see the steps that I need to take to move myself in the right direction. Never again will I feel clueless, powerless, or 'stuck.'

This class is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who wants to be more successful in setting and reaching their self care goals. Commit yourself to the program and you'll be amazed at what can happen!"

Corinna's coaching class gives you
that extra push you need!

What I got out of the coaching was a way to focus again. I have always been a competitive person and I found that the point system worked for me. It was a healthy and fun way for me to compete against myself. One thing I learned was even though I might not make my point goals for the week, I did not fail. That really helped me to stop looking at myself as a failure. If I had a setback, whatever it might be, I saw it as just that, a setback, and not a failure. I found myself getting back in the gym to exercise and noticed my body getting more toned and defined. The energy I got also felt great. My diet became healthier and I started drinking more water and actually started eating fruits and vegetables. It also really helped to have the weekly group coaching because it guided me throughout the week and kept me focused. It was also nice to hear other people’s success stories. It made me feel like part of a group and it was nice to support other people and have them support me.

I see myself continuing using the techniques I learned from Corinna. I can apply the same techniques and philosophies to any problem I want to overcome or any new goals I want to reach. They are simple enough to understand and do on your own and they are powerful enough to work in anyway you need them. The information provided and talked about can help you in your life in so many different ways. The atmosphere provided on the weekly conference calls was friendly and comfortable. I did not feel like I was being judged and I felt that the other people in the class understood me and supported me. I looked forward to our weekly calls.

I would recommend to anyone that is in a rut and needs a push to sign up for Corinna’s coaching class. Sometimes it’s hard for us to motivate ourselves to get started on something, whether it’s losing weight, eating healthy, being more social, or being motivated again. Corinna’s coaching class gives that extra push you need!"

Corinna inspires you to change your way of life

Before I started the self care group coaching, I was very overwhelmed with the daily tasks of life. I would never get anything done and I would procrastinate constantly to avoid the work. I never knew how to break things down rationally and figure out how to get things done. Nor did I think it had anything to do with my stress level.

But, after joining the group I was able to recognize that it is easier now to manage things around my home. Setting up small goals that were individually suitable for me and fun to achieve was what I took from this. And I feel like my stress level is decreasing daily. I learned how to be less overwhelmed even when everything doesn't get done all at once. Small daily goals - one at a time.

I can't wait to continue this way of living. I enjoy the 'points system' and it is such an easy thing to do. And the thing that helped too was that Corinna was right on top of things when I had questions, giving me something more to take with me. I'm excited to put her advice to action and I'm thankful for the tools she has provided!

I highly recommend working with Corinna to help you set practical self care goals for your life. She inspires you to change your way of life and keeps you motivated and confident that you can do this! I enjoyed every day and the time that I spent with the group. It was a great opportunity."

I started feeling better, losing weight and
had more confidence

Corinna gave me tools to see my accomplishments. With an accountability partner and the weekly group coaching, I found motivation. I enjoyed the time on the phone and was always surprised at how fast it went by. Corinna helped me to realize that I needed to make time for my own self care. Taking care of myself helped me to be a better mother, wife and friend. Corinna was very professional and easy to talk to. She really cared about my goals and gave me support by listening without judgment. I started feeling better, losing weight and had more self-confidence.

I left the course with excitement for my goals. I plan to continue to use the tools that she has given me to continue my weight loss journey and experience a more fulfilled life.

Signing up for Corinna’s class will help you to have renewed energy to achieve your goals. You will find more self confidence, fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment!"

I'm making progress

Now I feel empowered, happier, and
I don't have the anxiety anymore

I got so much out of the class and discussions, I had to evaluate my values and what is important to me, I learned how to recognize self sabotage and interrupt negative self talk, I gained helpful tips to deal with stress and some new goal setting strategies . The topics Corinna chose for the sessions really helped me to focus internally on issues I thought I had no control over. Now I feel empowered, happier and I don't have the anxiety anymore.

In the first session we were challenged to set goals for the 7 weeks. I decided it wasn't about my career path. I needed to take care of me first. So I made my overall goal to take better care of myself. By the end of the 7 weeks, I had lost 10 pound and 19 inches! From this point on, I see myself continuing to set goals that help me take better care of myself. Most of my goals became habits by the end of the 7 weeks and I have set new goals.

Nothing about my employment has changed, I continue to travel and have deadlines, but I no longer feel like it is draining me. I make better decisions now, I say no to tasks if I feel overwhelmed and I speak up for myself. Yes, I put my self care needs first and it feels great! It may sound selfish but if we don't take time for self care we can't care for others and we don't have the energy to be all we can be.

I would recommend this class to anyone who feels like they have lost control. Sometimes all we need is an unbiased nudge to put us back on track and that is what The Strong Foundations for a New Direction class has offered me. You will be able to put things in proper perspective, set and achieve goals, gain confidence and a sense of accomplishment. And maybe put yourself first for a change. It feels great!"

I think Corinna helped me to find the person I once was

Corinna's guidance and encouragement were instrumental to me being able to set individual goals to challenge myself and discover and achieve a more healthy balance in my life. I could not have accomplished so much without the other ladies in my group. They were distant voices from various backgrounds, places and experiences but we found common ground, common needs and common challenges to share, discuss and overcome together. The support I received from the group was so encouraging and helpful. I do not think my goals would have been so attainable without them and certainly not without Corinna’s calming voice of positive reassurance each week.

I feel I have come a long way through this process of having a group life coach. I feel for the first time in a long time that I am a capable individual who is actually in control of their life. I think Corinna helped me to find the person I once was and to be an even better person who is in tune to their feelings and the feelings of others. My life is a more positive adventure with much hope for the future. And I have the skills and knowledge to get myself back on track should I need it in the future. But I also have Corinna’s number as well!"

I would highly recommend talking with Corinna

Right away, I knew I wanted to sign up for her "Strong Foundation for a New Direction" coaching program because I could see all kinds of practical benefits to working with her. During our seven sessions, I learned so much about myself and came away feeling in touch with my skills and strengths in a way that has transformed my life -- as a human, as a professional writer, as a mother, as a romantic partner, in absolutely every way imaginable.

I know what a difference it's made in my life to see myself as capable, energetic, strong, happy and beautiful -- if you're struggling and wishing you could somehow get your life on a better path, I would highly recommend talking with Corinna. I'm so very grateful that I found her!
