Results
Here are the results my clients are celebrating . . .
In a world that privileges the tangible, my clients achieve the tangible results they are looking for — as well as enjoying remarkable increases in their capacity as human beings. This is at the essence of fulfillment. The magnificence in the human spirit that they express here gives me confidence that what they have developed in themselves will continue to serve well beyond the immediate scope of our work together.

A seasoned professional . . . . Lyedie is a delight to work with—smooth, polished, gentle and clear, stepping in at just the right moment with observations and guiding questions to help bring a muddy thought to a crystal-clear statement . . . Jump at the chance to work with her.
LP, Consultant and Colleague, Hanover NH
Lyedie embodies the essence of brilliance and down-to-earth wisdom. Her elegant coaching style, intuitive sensitivity and relevant homework practices helped me embed the changes I wanted to make in my life. I felt her at my back with open-hearted presence and always sharp as a tack as I stepped into my new way of being. I have a deep respect for the sound methods she uses to get results, they work! I am now living my life with more grace and less stress. If you have something you're ready to change in your life, put yourself in Lyedie’s capable hands.
Helaine Iris, Path of Purpose, Spofford NH
Lyedie has shown me how to see myself with more clarity and catch on to the ways that I'm thwarting what I really want for myself. . . . . Lyedie is wise, insightful and really on my side. She has a wealth of knowledge and her tool kit appears to be bottomless! Lately, I’ve been thinking of her as my secret weapon.
Chela Davison, Director of Leadership & Innovation, Integral Coaching Canada
The work we did together two years ago just keeps on giving. I return to it often, continually amazed at the practical wisdom that was born out of our sessions together . . . . I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so seen, or so able to make such a profound shift in my approach to life.
M.L. Psychologist and University Professor, New Haven CT
I began working with Lyedie at a point when I was finding it harder and harder to connect with my creative spirit, causing a downward spiral that was radiating out into my life. Her complete attention and fascination with my concerns, paired with her knowledge of the human psyche and belief in the realm of possibility has spurred me to rediscover and embrace even the smallest sparks within – honoring the obstacles and . . . now I’m stepping beyond them.
