What People Are Saying

 

“Liane, I just want to say, having you as my coach saved my life!!! I was so deeply sad and lost myself that I didn’t realize how much until talking with you. You have coached me to see my self-worth and to recognize the changes I needed to make for the better. I feel like my old self again and that would have never happened without your help. You are the best Liane, thank you!”

— Ilene M. (Personal Growth Client)

“Liane, Thank You! Tonight’s session was definitely a great experience for me and it was even more beneficial than I had anticipated. Even this early on into our sessions together, I can’t wait until next week when we can chat more and go over some different things. Thank you again :)!”

— Brandon D. (Grief/Trauma Client)

“From my first meeting with Liane I felt like she was a good friend I had known for years. The advice & methodology that she recommends comes from her very own life experiences. Liane is so authentic and genuine, and I feel so lucky to have her guidance.”

— Katie S. (Personal Growth Client)

“I met Liane several years ago through work and we instantly hit it off. Liane has this welcoming energy to her that I found hard to resist and we always connected whenever we’d see each other in the hallways. I had for sometime been suffering with the loss of my mother and Liane knew this about me and would always share in my feelings because she had lost her brother. Years later when COVID hit, tragedy struck my home again and I found myself in a situation where my grief was so overwhelming I couldn’t even function or focus. I knew I needed help and I reached out to Liane because I knew I could. I was able to pick up the phone and tell her everything without feeling in anyway that she wouldn’t understand. Within days, I received an envelope of affirmation cards and a summary of our work together at our first session. After each session, Liane would take the time to send me a follow up email summary so I was able to keep the information as a reference. Through our meeting time together. and those materials, I learned new skills on how to reshift my mindset when things got dark. The affirmation cards were so on point with my situation that the first few times I couldn’t read them without crying at the accuracy of them. We continued to work together for months and I can’t express how much she saved me through her work. Today, I stand in my living room surrounded by all the happy pictures and memories of the good times…this was possible because of our work together. Through her guidance, I was able to create an atmosphere for myself of positivity, love and forgiveness, not self-doubt, guilt and regret. Thankfully I was able to get to the other side of the storm. Liane, thank you so much for your dedication to this work and for the gift you’ve been given to do it. Me and the kids will forever thank you.”

“I had been deeply grieving my son for almost four years. Even though I was doing regular outpatient therapy, I didn’t feel it was helping me move forward in life. After an emotional breakdown, I saw a post from GuidanceByLi that personally resonated with me. I decided to give it a try and see if Liane could help me move forward with life, with being truly happy again, with truly smiling again, and being mentally present with my family and friends. I was an emotional mess! It’s been almost four months since I started working with Liane and words cannot express how grateful I am. The progress that I have made in this short period of time is amazing! Learning daily techniques that have helped me “retrain my brain” has given me hope that I can move forward in life again. It’s alot of work mentally, because as a grieving parent, my heart wants to stay in the past…with my son. Liane has helped me realize that moving forward doesn’t mean that I’m forgetting him or letting go of him from my heart, but that I can still remember him with happiness and joy. I still miss my son every single day, but I’ve learned that I’m always going to grieve him, but also that I’ve had 20 wonderful years with him & nothing can change that! I’ve learned to remember the many laughs, smiles, kisses, hugs, and date nights that we both shared together. I’ve learned to look at myself in the mirror every day and tell myself, “I got this”. I’ve learned to read my affirmations that Liane provided to me, based on our very first conversation, and I’ve learned evey day to love myself again. I’ve learned to let go of the guilt that I have carried for 4 years and I’ve learned I couldn’t control the outcome of that unbearable day, but I do have control of how I chose to live my life going forward and I how I remember him. I’ve chosen happiness again! I still have my good days and my bad days, but now I have the tools to overcome those very bad, dark days. I’ve learned that when I do have a bad day, to stop and take it breath by breath, then focus on a happy moment of us, which puts a smile on my face. Everyone has noticed I am smiling more, laughing more, and I’m actually present to cherish each moment with the people I love. I look forward to what more I can learn with Liane and to see the person I become at the end of this journey. Thank you Liane!”

    There was a point in my life when I literally felt like I was circling the drain. I have been to therapists before, and unfortunately my previous therapist relocated across the county. Trying to find mental health during the pandemic was very difficult. Thankfully I did a google search and found Liane. The progress I have make since working working with Liane has been life changing. I was giving up hope prior to meeting her. She has managed to take the pain and struggle from her own personal trauma and use her experience to help others. I do not know where I would be without her and her help. The flexibility of scheduling in person or on zoom sessions was very helpful. I have referred multiple people to her, and the ones who proceeded were grateful that they did. Our work together has evolved beyond grief coaching, even through that remained our primary focus. She has impacted my life in so many positive ways. I highly recommend her and her services.”
