Personalized Private Coaching

“Caring for my aging father while helping with my new grandbaby left me constantly drained. Through our conversations, Cheryl helped me realize that dedicating time to myself for my own self-care isn’t selfish.

It was uncomfortable at first, but I’ve started using Sundays to read, garden, or simply rest. I’m finding I’m much more present for everyone when I honor this boundary.”

“After three decades in my career, I noticed I was hesitating to speak up in meetings. Cheryl created space for me to reflect on situations where I could share my expertise with confidence.

Last month, I found the courage to present an idea that’s now being implemented. This single moment of speaking up has helped me recognize the unique perspective my years of experience bring to the table.”

“After two decades of marriage, my husband and I had fallen into a routine of parallel living. Cheryl helped me explore what I want for our relationship and guided me through developing some strategies for reconnecting. One small change I implemented was a weekly date night where we each take turns planning the date.

I’ve noticed we’re actually talking at dinner now instead of staring at our phones, having real conversations again. Last weekend, we laughed over something silly until tears came to our eyes – a simple moment of joy I hadn’t experienced in longer than I could remember.”

“When my youngest left for college last year, I felt completely lost. During our sessions, Cheryl helped me uncover a passion for coastal-inspired jewelry making I’d set aside years ago. She guided me through identifying what was holding me back from pursuing it as a business.

Now, six months later, I’m selling my handmade jewelry at local farmers markets. My business is growing, and I never imagined I’d be proud to call myself a jewelry designer at this stage of life.”

“Moving to Carlsbad after an early retirement meant starting over socially. In working with Cheryl, I gained clarity about what kinds of activities would be meaningful in this new chapter as well as an action plan for meeting new people.

After a few coaching sessions, I felt confident enough to try the local arts center. I volunteer once a week now, and I’ve met another woman who’s become a hiking partner. Small steps, but I’m beginning to feel more connected to my new community.”

“After years of putting everyone else first, I’d forgotten what it felt like to prioritize myself. Working with Cheryl helped me start a simple skincare routine that’s just for me.

It might seem like no big deal, but this dedicated self-care time has become a sacred ritual that reminds me I’m worth taking care of, too.”
