Q

Three adjectives to describe Gloria are Integrity, Honouring and Insightful. Working with Gloria as my coach is the point where things turned around for me…I became aware of destructive beliefs, patterns and coping strategies, discovered my fears, I worry less about things I cannot change and focus more on things I am able to influence. I make better, supportive, honouring decisions…I take steps when I need to...I am more professional and provide better service… Believing in me is among the most important benefits of partnering with Gloria.

Q

Gloria makes a difference! I have had the opportunity to work with Gloria as my coach, one to one, which has helped me grow both personally and professionally. Because Gloria has the ability to guide professionals in better understanding their behavioral and communication styles I asked her to be a part of my staff’s personal and professional development. They now possess the skills to more fully understand the way they communicate, perceptions held by their colleagues around differing styles of communicating and the ability to analyze outcomes of their own particular behaviors. Thank you Gloria!

Q

Gloria, my Spirit Guide is caring and passionate. She has helped me to focus on the important things and to approach things one step at a time. I have always been an organized person, but Gloria has helped me to put things in perspective and accomplish more in the same amount of time. The work we have done together has changed the way I approach things and the way I think. I now am confident that I can achieve what ever I chose. Most importantly, I have learned to be true to myself and that this can never be wrong. My confidence has increased, I have learned to take care of myself, I have learned to focus on the here and now. I really do feel in many ways, that Gloria has given me my life back. During difficult times in my personal and professional life, Gloria has helped me through it. I feel I am a much different person because of it, and others have noticed it too. My friends think I am doing better than ever. With increased confidence, I can now see things more clearly, make decisions that are correct for me, and stay true to myself. These are things that I can honestly say I wasn’t very good at before I met Gloria.

Q

Gloria is wise, powerful, and fun. Benefits of working with Gloria resulted in greater self awareness, personal responsibility and self love. Every time I talk to Gloria I have the benefit of her great insight and sense of humor. I never expected to have so much fun and so many laughs. Gloria is a friend holding up a mirror and saying, Look what a beautiful masterpiece! Look what you have created! She is holding the space when we talk to let me be, just as I am. I can laugh, cry and vent any frustration in my life. But the beauty is that she reminds me, that I choose my life and I have created everything I am experiencing. Gloria helped me realize my self worth through the work we do together. It is making me more aware of spending and saving more wisely, because I am worth it! I better communicate with family and loved ones I have been freed up to communicate my needs to co-workers and employers. I learned to give myself permission to be just as I am , needing no approval. The result of this is my performance as a singer has been stronger, more free and authentic. The most important benefit of partnering with Gloria as my coach is the call itself. The time I spend with her is one of the most enlightening, funny, joyful and exciting of my whole week. I hang up feeling like I had a good belly laugh, a good cry and ready to embark on the great adventure of my life!

Q

I much better manage my time. I am meeting deadlines on a consistent basis, in spite of being busier that I have ever been. (You have an) incisive ability to get to the real issue…

Q

Coaching helped me to realize my dream of moving to Victoria, BC, a beautiful city I hardly dared imagine could be my home. When doubt surfaced about my decision to take the leap, Gloria reminded me of all that was important to me, cutting through the buzzing in my head to the burning in my heart. ….I am so happy I made the move; I know I belong here - important to an ex-military brat who has never before known home. Making one solid move towards my heart’s desires reinforced the necessity of honoring my uniqueness with all its quirks, strengths and vulnerabilities. Life flows more easily and gracefully when I do so - as if the world is saying 'YES!' in return. I am grateful to coaching and to Gloria for being like a compass that clearly and gently guides me back to what truly matters.

Q

You are astute, clever and kind…a confidant, a mentor and a friend... Our work together has changed my life with regards to both work and personal growth...  I have set some goals and now have a vision of what I want to accomplish. I am aware of negative thoughts and I am practicing speaking up. I have benefited from opportunities that 'opened up'. I am making more time to do enjoyable and nurturing things.

Q

Gloria: Although I came to find your services by different channels, I am extremely happy that I did. Leading into my program I was not entirely sure of what to expect, but you left me pleasantly surprised. The insight that you showed me of my personal motivators and behavior has provided some valuable information for the future. I am now able to anticipate responses and be proactive in correcting undesirable points. I still probably let some of my least attractive points go, but thinking ahead I will at least have some idea of their impact. Considering new partners or employees for the future I will definitely look at your services again. Funny aside, my wife has since been 'studying' up on me, she said most of it she knew, but a few points were helpful.

- Brian M. – Entrepreneur

Q

I met you (Gloria) at a very confusing time of my life…. My three most important benefits (working with Gloria are) confidence in myself, learning to say NO and openness to what may come. Benefits that I was not expecting included acquiring the ability to be less hard on myself, to give myself a break, to see past the yesterdays hurts for the lessons they may bring and an increase of compassion towards others as well as myself. Gloria as mentor, moral compass, and pillar to lean on for strength taught me to see myself in a different light from the one I was used to, and that there are areas in my life which I value far higher than I ever realized. She showed me that I have a very strong family bond which is the foundation for a lot of what I achieve, and that arguments and disagreements do not make you a bad sister/daughter/relative/friend. …. In the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, there is a mirror that Harry sees called the Mirror of Erised (Erised reversed is Desire), which shows the person who looks into it nothing more or less than their heart’s deepest desire. In a lot of ways, you are like that mirror as well – I stood in front of you with my fragmented thoughts and wishes and injuries, and you rearranged them and showed me back a reflection of what it was that I was really trying to accomplish….. I would easily recommend anybody looking for guidance with their lives to contact you. SayingI need help is a strength that everyone can afford.

Q

I have been blessed by having you (Gloria) as my business coach. When I am down you pick me up, when I am on a high you send me higher. When I feel muddled you give me clarity, and bring the best out in me. It has been a blessing to really see that I do know all the answers within me, and I thank you for allowing me to bring them out. Thank you for allowing me to succeed in all situations. Thank you for not giving me the answers and making it your success. Your success comes from what you do best, coaching me to be my best!! I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. May God bless you abundantly.

- Barb H. - Business Owner

Q

With respect to your coaching consultation can’t tell you how pleased my wife and I are. We felt the telephone chat you had with our daughter was the deciding point for her. She expressed an interest in teaching and was exploring that career path albeit with reluctance. You encouraged her to pursue her passion which is cooking and the culinary arts and she is now planning to enroll at the Vancouver Community College Culinary program and working at two different restaurants to gain more experience. Your message and encouragement made the difference and she has been much more focused since. Thank-you Gloria.

- Daryl S. – Retired RCMP and father who wanted his daughter coached

Q

This note is to thank you once again for helping me find my way to success…. My dad gave me the email you had sent him regarding your friend who had quit smoking for over a year with the help of laser acupuncture....Gloria this is the second time in my life that you have really helped me to find my path, I just really wanted to thank you very much for your help. Hope you and your family are happy and healthy.

Q

Gloria is enduring, generous, focused, sincere, professional, intuitive, respectful.  When I first hired Gloria, I wanted to solve how to get anything done. I couldn’t prioritize anything. My brain felt cluttered. I catastrophized and judged everything before working with her. I wanted to be fully alive, but couldn’t even figure out where to start, or even what fully alive felt like.  Working together saved and made more money because

  1. I can focus on my purpose at work.
  2. I can separate my personal and professional relationship with my husband/partner at our mutual office, and I lovingly coach him to as well.
  3. I have learned how to develop myself in ways I never expected or wanted at work….to run my business better, consistently, professionally, respectfully, true to myself and my patients and my partner/husband….I used to flounder, and I believe that kept us on a rollercoaster…..and also my income on a rollercoaster.
  4. My husband/partner and I are more sure of our individual skills, and making the most of using them to run our business, trying not to be redundant, getting work done on the inside, not having to hire out, encouraging gand appreciating  each one’s strengths. It was suggested that I be his inspiration…I believe that I am to a certain extent…..

Sometimes I get anah ha! about something Gloria taught me in the past, and I finally get it this much later. I am not sure how I would have gotten to this point without my work with Gloria. I was very, very stuck. Sometimes I remember how the stuckness felt, but I’d really rather not remember that feeling. I am very glad for having been helped by Gloria to see something that was inside me all along, like she said.  For all of Gloria’s professionalism, I also always felt like she was a dear friend who loved me despite my faults and shortcomings…… My new skills benefit every area of my life.

Q

Working with Gloria I have made significant progress in how I approach myself and choose to interact with others including family. Gloria ‘speaks the language’ of spirituality as well as more formal psychology and makes a real connection in her conversations.
Over the last three years I have learned to acknowledge the positive and speaking with Gloria has allowed me to realize the change I have made. She has been there to hold up a verbal mirror which facilitated some of this process and the insights and focus that enabled me to address specific issues including working effectively as part of an existing family system and the importance of choice around where I put my energy.
