Coaching Client Experience

Sometimes we know we want support, but we are afraid of opening up to someone. Sometimes we know we want someone to listen and help guide us to our wisdom - but we aren’t sure if the investment will be worth it. Sometimes we are just plain scared to let someone see all of who we are.

I completely understand.

If you are curious about becoming a client, I want to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the transformation my clients go through.

Here you’ll find in-depth testimonials from former clients.

Take your time and when you’re ready, book a free 30 minute session - and let’s get you on the road to being your most joyful, free, and authentic self.


What problem led you to seek out coaching?: Extreme parenting stress, suicidal teenager

Was there anything you were afraid of when you started coaching sessions?: Being judged as a bad parent when my child was struggling. Being told her struggles were my fault.

What made you feel comfortable enough to take the leap with me?: From the minute I spoke to Catia, I felt welcomed. With wisdom and grace I have felt held to explore and wonder at my journey to date.

What are three words you would use to describe yourself before coaching?: Scared, tight, alcohol dependent

What was the overall feeling you got from me during coaching sessions?: Welcomed, held, safe, encouraged, connected, valued, seen.

What kind of breakthroughs did you experience if any?: I was alcohol dependent. I was holding on tight and parenting with fear.

What are three words you would use to describe now that you are well along your journey with me (or maybe you've completed your journey with me for now.): Sober, liberated, becoming whole

What was this experience like for you?: Exhausting, liberating, necessary.

How has coaching affected your relationship with your children?: I feel joy now as a parent, I am seen and I revel in the gifts parenting brings me. I am gently reminded to sink into the wonder my children find in the every day, to laugh, to cuddle, to dream and to love with an open heart. I am with them.

How has coaching affected your relationship with your significant other?: While we haven't focused on marriage counselling, my communication with my spouse has dramatically improved.

What would you tell someone who is curious about seeking out coaching, but apprehensive?: There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. I have gained so very much, more than I knew was possible. I thought I was destined to live a life that didn't rise to meet me, didn't quite fit what I had imagined for myself. I thought my authentic self was so hidden, she was gone for good. I see, feel and hear my authentic self more and more each day - she is rising! I am becoming who I want to be and I'll never look back. I am free, free to be me.

Is there anything else I could have done to enhance your experience as a client?: Honestly, no I am so please and look forward to every session!

On a scale of 1-5, 1 being not so good, 5 being excellent How would you rate your experience with me?: 5 stars - Excellent

Is there anything else you'd like to add?: Thank you
