I didn’t realize I needed coaching. I’m not the most emotionally developed person, and I’m ok with that. Avoidance is easy, let’s be real. I started coaching with Genna through a particularly tough part of my life - I was facing a failed marriage and had no idea how to process it. To be honest, I dreaded every part about therapy and coaching. I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t see the benefits of doing it. And I only took a chance on Genna because she seemed authentic, and open-minded.

Now, I find myself practicing the pause, mostly so that I understand my own emotions (I’m slow). But also, I truly feel more in control of my emotions, and I understand them a lot better.

As a naysayer, I want to share my experience because it has surpassed all of my expectations, seriously ten-fold. This has been a very enriching experience in my life, and I want others to consider it.

After a divorce, self-confidence was very difficult for me. I was always looking at myself and questioning whether I was good enough. Working with Genna changed all of that. Her down to earth style goal-setting approach to coaching changed everything. I feel more confident and know how to change my thinking to focus on thoughts and feelings I can control.

I am a mother with small children and also hold a full time job. I was beginning to feel very overwhelmed, like I was just going day to day and barely getting through without feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. I began working with Genna, and within our first visits I already began feeling a sense of positive hope. With her help I was able to begin setting both short-term and long-term goals. I was able to spend time with my family and be in the moment, rather than worrying that I should be doing something else for work or around the house. What I didn’t expect to happen was that I also began to enjoy my work again, and I began allowing myself time for myself without feeling guilty. If you’re looking for someone to feel comfortable and safe to talk to, Genna is that Coach. She is sincere and kind and has a way of talking and asking questions that allowed me to see things differently than I ever could have on my own. I feel confident, happy and excited for the first time in a very long time. 

I had the privilege of working with Genna when I found myself at a significant personal roadblock in my life. Genna is such a kind, supportive, and empathetic coach. She listens and challenges me with thoughtful questions and genuine curiosity. Genna really helped me to understand my obstacles, goals and values and helped me implement tools to hold myself accountable. Together we identified important values, boundaries & behaviors, which helped me regain confidence and have a solution focus mindset. If you want to improve aspects of your life, I highly recommend working with Genna as your coach.

I began working with Genna after my wife passed away. Genna approached our coaching with compassionate knowledge and intuitive skill. She is empathetic, insightful and encouraging. She continues to help me work through the issues I face, not by telling me what to do, but she poses thought provoking questions, that lead me to solutions I can implement. She has urged me to work on my goals and expand my awareness in different areas of my life. Because of working with Genna and using the techniques she’s introduced, I am productive and positive of my direction. I highly recommend Genna to anyone that wants to take control of, and improve their lives.
