Client Testimonials
“Mary’s approach to working with her clients is a unique blend of both razor sharp analysis of a problem situation and a gentle prodding towards necessary change. Her insights during one session stayed with me during a critical decision making time while I was considering closing my business. She pointed out to me that, although my intentions in keeping my business open were indeed serving the community, they were also causing me to suffer financially, physically and emotionally. I had been in denial about the toll this had taken on me. She offers a holistic approach to possible transformation in business and personal dramas. I was also reminded during each session that I already had all the resources I needed and learned to give and receive daily gifts of opportunity and support. She offers practical step by step guidance within the bigger spiritual purpose of our lives”.

Mary is warm, compassionate and authentic. Her style of coaching is no-nonsense and direct. It challenges you to examine your intentions and desires. I would not still be married and working on my relationship with my husband for the first time ever but for Mary supporting me and refusing to allow me to settle for second best. I see a future for us now and it looks pretty good.

Thank you for your patience, insight, humor and your loving and caring attitude. You are offering something people truly need. I admire, and have the greatest respect for, your ability to grasp a concept, consider its many angles and ramifications and then boil it down to its essence. Now that I have “found” you, I would like to keep you in my life forever.

I struggled my whole life with low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness. I can’t believe how many opportunities I let go by because I thought I “couldn’t” do it. What a waste of time. I wouldn’t be where I am today, finishing up the last year of my Masters at USC with multiple job offers on the table, if I hadn’t hit bottom and realized I needed help. I’d still be working the phone bank and blaming everyone else for my crappy life if I hadn’t found you online. I know you put up with a lot from me. Sorry and thanks for your amazing patience and sense of humor.

I worked with Mary for almost 2 years. During that time I lost 45 lbs, took up rollerblading, got my AA degree, left my fiance, and got a job that pays me more than I ever made in my life before. But all these things are nothing compared to the way I think about myself now. I think I’m a pretty good person and as smart and capable as anyone else. I don’t let people walk all over me like they used to and I am not afraid to ask for what I need. I use Constructive Living in my life everyday and I feel really blessed to have found it. She never gave up on me although I almost gave up on myself a bunch of times.

Mary, we’re almost packed up and I’m sad to go. Last Tuesday (** client is referring to our last session together) I cried myself a river when I hung up the phone. They were happy tears. I can’t tell you how much our sessions have meant to me. I am handling the upheaval and the drama of the move and the new job so differently than I would have last year. I’m scared but not paralyzed and I know I’ll be able to handle anything that the world throws at me. I came home tonight and found a dozen red roses on the kitchen table. Jay (**spouse) bought them because he said he was so proud of me and so grateful to be my husband. So then I had to start crying all over again! ………when I look in the mirror I see a strong, resourceful leader and not a whiny little princess. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
