“Meghann is truly a gem and a preeminent coach who’s genuinely gifted at what she does. In the last year or so that I have been working with her, I have always been surprised at how much Meghann was able to help me gain more clarity about myself each time, even after the program completion. I believe self-awareness & discovery is a lifetime journey, and Meghann helped me uncover layers over layers that I didn’t know were part of me. She sees me right through, even before I can see myself, and I always feel enlightened after our session. Working with Meghann is the best decision I’ve made. I’m immensely grateful for her.”
“Meghann is an intuitive, kind, compassionate and fun coach. I appreciated our talks but also the follow up notes. Meghann helped me to identify how I can use my strengths to achieve my development objectives. She helped me realize that I can be sensitive to and cater to my needs, and that doing so is okay. I have and will continue many of the daily practices she gave me during our coaching sessions, which I’m sure will continue to help me both personally and professionally.”
“I worked with Meghann and had a fantastic coaching experience. I was looking for someone who would keep me accountable for some of my personal health goals, but Meghann went a level deeper and helped me figure out what was getting in the way of doing that work myself. I can’t recommend Meghann highly enough as someone that will give you the coaching you need, even if it’s not the coaching you knew you needed. She is intuitive, warm, and a pleasure to work with. She’ll also adapt her style to what works best for you. Last piece of praise, I appreciated how Meghann started each session by reviewing the goals we came up with collaboratively and made sure we were staying focused. This was my first time trying life coaching and Meghann made it a wonderful experience. Don’t hesitate if you have the chance to work with her!”
“Working with Meghann has had a profound impact on my life. She brings sincerity, kindness, empathy, wisdom, and depth to every session. Meghann provided a safe space in which I felt truly seen and heard. She taught me how to introspect and observe myself in productive ways, uncovering truths about who I am at my core. Her insights and actionable advice have been invaluable, helping me find the forward momentum I had sought for so long. I am forever grateful to her and highly recommend working with Meghann if you have the chance! ”
