"During a time of transition in my life, I realized I needed some organizational help. I found Janet through a friend and decided it would be great for me to start coaching with her. In our sessions we discussed many topics regarding big life choices around careers and education. We also completed personality tests which helped me figure out what some strengths and weaknesses are. With Janet, I finished coaching with a strong plan of what I wanted to do the next couple of years as well as a better understanding of how I function. Overall, coaching was a great experience and really helped me out."
"Before our child started working with Janet, we felt like her schoolwork was out of control. We were constantly in a standoff about homework and feeling in conflict with one another. We tried offering help in the form of tutoring, which helped in the short term. We offered our own help, which was often rejected. We hope she will continue to use the skills she has gained from coaching to help her feel the rewards of academic success. Janet is a great option for students who need help organizing their schoolwork and getting their academics (and other areas of life) on track. Janet helps kids and their families have better relationships with each other by allowing the students to be in better control of their own schoolwork."
"Janet is skilled at working with neurodiverse humans. She has keen insights into the particular challenges and talents that often show up as different sides of the same metaphorical coin. If you want talented, properly resourced, and authentically caring support to accompany you in learning new skills, approaches, perspectives, and tools-you won't do better. On my journey, Janet helped me clarify my path, reframe struggles, and held me lovingly accountable to myself. Optimally, in a coach, you want to feel a blend of empathy, encouragement, accountability, and expertise. You'll get that if you work with this sterling professional."
"Before finding Janet the relationship between my daughter and I had deteriorated to a very low point. Our only interactions were me asking her where she was with assignments, her telling me all good, then me confronting her after receiving emails from her teachers that she had many missing assignments. I was frustrated, she was frustrated, depressed and did not know how to climb out of the hole she found herself in. We tried use of a planner, limiting cell phone usage so she had adequate time to do work. What changed after working with Janet was hope. My daughter and I could speak about things other than school as someone else was meeting with her, giving her tools and checking up on her completion goals. If your child is struggling, please consider using Janet. She saved our kiddo's HS sophomore year and our relationship."
"Janet's natural ability to connect with people of all ages helped our teen organize his daily routines involving chores and schoolwork. He was able to reclaim his free time under her guidance and mentorship, while feeling like he was leading the process versus having another adult in his life telling him what to do. We would recommend her services to anyone seeking help with executive functioning, or just needing a little order in their lives."
"Janet is extremely skilled in asking questions to help me wade through all of my thoughts to bring focus and clearly define my goals. Once my goals are clear, Janet's continued questions help me define activities to achieve my goals. I highly recommend Janet for any person seeking a life coach."
"Since working with Janet as an ADHD coach I am finally reaching goals that I have been chasing for years. Her guidance has helped me to really understand my strengths and limitations and together we design strategies that make the most of both. Most importantly, I've learned how to better cope with setbacks and stay accountable to myself. Janet's coaching has helped me profoundly. I can't recommend her services enough!"
"Before we started working with Janet, we were facing homework struggles. We had tried tutoring, monitoring our child's homework online, and still had lots of conflict. After working with Janet, she gained confidence and independence. Both of us did! She helped her both in school and personal areas of organization. I feel we can now enjoy each other's company more because we aren't bickering about schoolwork so much."
"Before coaching I knew I had challenges with my son that I wasn't well-equipped to solve, and I didn't know where to start. He regularly fell behind in school, which led to recurring fire drills to catch up. This caused a lot of stress and anxiety during a time with Covid that had already been challenging. I tried Band-Aid solutions ("this can't happen again"..."if this happens again you will lose ___") that were all short-term. None worked well. Janet came as a personal recommendation from someone who experienced positive results. Similar to the dynamic with a coach for sports at school, my son listened to Janet and felt accountable for results."
