Coaching Testimonials
I was really frustrated with feelings of inertia - I knew I was unhappy and I knew that I wanted my life to look different. But I struggle with getting from where I am to where I want to be. Outside of my work, the rest of my life felt really unfulfilling. Kalila helped me think of first steps to take, getting me out of feeling overwhelmed at the larger goal. It's hard to take a first step when you're not even sure what it is, and you only know where you want to end up. She helped me think of things I can do right now to enrich my personal life. Before coaching, I would get overwhelmed quickly and just give up.
After coaching, I am reframing how I view self-care, making it a higher priority, and working on being kinder to myself. Kalila has a warm, gentle spirit and isn't judgmental in any way, which made it easy to open up to her. In addition to that, she was practical in helping me find first steps and solutions. The combination of both was incredibly helpful to me! I would absolutely refer a friend to a coaching session with her. She created a warm and positive space to work through what I was struggling with, and left me feeling motivated and feeling more confident that I could move forward. Many people could benefit from having a trusted, kind, and motivating sounding board. I'm grateful for the time we spent together!

Kalila, every session with you finds me challenged and exhilarated. These conversations are thought-provoking. They help me look into myself and inquire, "Why?" "Why do I feel like this?" "Why am I not kinder to myself?" "Why am I afraid to move forward?" But the crucial outcome of our conversations is I'm inspired to ask myself the tough questions and work to answer them. Thanks for creating a dialog helping me to learn to love myself as I am now.

I’ve been doing weekly sessions with Kalila for the last 3 months, and in this short amount of time she’s been a tremendous support and motivator. Kalila listens attentively and meets you where you are in your process. She genuinely cares about helping clients reflect, set attainable goals, and offers various ways to nurture ourselves and recondition thought patterns in order to heal from past traumas.

Thank you for the incredibly insightful and inspiring session! You’re an incredible coach. I truly feel like you’ve helped me with my self-love and perspective with the exercise we did and also from sharing some of your own story and presence. I believe it will empower my emotional balance. A situation arose shortly after our session- as challenging of a situation as it could have been- and I was able to handle it with love and perspective. Complete game-changer. Thank you for your timely gift! You’re a rockstar!

I feel really fortunate to have connected with Kalila! She's more than just a coach, she's a warm human being who just keeps it real. It's so easy to talk with her and I always know that she's being authentic and transparent with me... while being compassionate at the same time. I've spoken to many coaches and she truly stands out to me among them!
