What my clients had to say...
I’ve been able to bring my true self to the forefront, especially at work, and feel more confident in doing so...I think anyone searching for clarity, focus, maybe someone starting a new path or at a crossroads in their life would benefit from working with Nancy.
"When I first started working with Nancy, I needed to be able to trust and feel comfortable enough to open up as my true self, genuine and authentic. After working together over the past few years, I’ve been able to bring my true self to the forefront, especially at work, and feel more confident in doing so. Nancy also encouraged me to explore what were shadow areas of my life, like writing and standing up and believing in myself. I hadn’t received that sort of encouragement growing up. I have always sensed I had potential, but needed that nudge to follow through.
I would absolutely recommend Nancy’s coaching. She’s a great listener, calm, compassionate, not afraid to ask the tough questions of me, and she’s honest. I think anyone searching for clarity, focus, maybe someone starting a new path or at a crossroads in their life would benefit from working with Nancy."

Nancy listened deeply and helped me clarify my goals. She worked with me to identify and move through my internal fears and resistance around this change....

"Nancy Martin provided me with invaluable coaching and counsel on a challenging career shift from long-term self-employment to finding a full-time role with a great organization. Nancy listened deeply and helped me clarify my goals. She worked with me to identify and move through my internal fears and resistance around this change. She's been a wise and supportive coach, providing much needed encouragement and direction throughout the journey. I value her skillful and intuitive approach, grounded in practical, do-able steps. One thing that differentiates Nancy as a coach, I think, is that her approach is based on the very effective and helpful view that a life transition is a journey in which the details shift as you grow and change perspective. There were times when I had to let go of some ideas to make room for others, and her clear insights around this were immensely helpful to me. I am happy to say I recently received and accepted an offer for a great full-time position. Thanks, Nancy!"

I would think anyone that feels like they are on shaky ground or just needs someone to help them navigate life's journey in whatever form that takes,
would benefit from having her as a life coach. I am very grateful I met Nancy....
would benefit from having her as a life coach. I am very grateful I met Nancy....
"I came to Nancy's coaching when I was finalizing my divorce after 45 years of marriage. Our work together helped me shift from feeling really stuck, anxious, and sometimes reactionary to showing up with kindness and feeling empowered to express myself in a more transparent and authentic way. Nancy listens with her entire being and hears exactly what I’m saying. She is nonjudgmental and very gentle in challenging me, plus opening me up to ideas I may not have thought about. She also offered a suggestion around my self-care that really catapulted me to a better space, plus it started me on an exercise regimen that I have wanted to do for a long time.
I would definitely recommend Nancy to others. I would think anyone that feels like they are on shaky ground or just needs someone to help them navigate life’s journey in whatever form that takes, would benefit from having her as a life coach. I am very grateful I met Nancy, and appreciate this form of guidance, which is somewhat different than counseling and so helpful in guiding me through my life transition at this time."

Receiving encouragement from you really resonated with me – not just because I needed a reminder of those things within myself - but because I realized how that kind of positivity is missing from my work environment.
"Thank you so much for your time, and for working with me to uncover some tools that will help me move forward during a period where I’m often feeling frustrated. Even this short time has already awakened me to the idea that I can make meaningful change, even if it’s just one small step at a time. Receiving encouragement from you really resonated with me – not just because I needed a reminder of those things within myself - but because I realized how that kind of positivity is missing from my work environment. Thank you again, I truly appreciated your insight and aura of calmness."

I felt safe to express myself in a supportive and caring environment...Nancy's ability to effortlessly support and acknowledge our journey with where we were at "now" was helpful and inspiring.
"I recently had the privilege of joining a group of courageous women for Nancy's remarkable wisdom circle. I felt safe to express myself in a supportive and caring environment as we shared the challenges we were each going through. Nancy's ability to effortlessly support and acknowledge our journey with where we were at "now" was helpful and inspiring. Nancy gave us relevant handouts with questions and insights that guided our discussions so we could empower ourselves to create a life with more ease, comfort and joy. I recommend her highly and look forward to benefitting from her presence in the future."

...the rare opportunity to really be heard – to express myself out loud
and talk through my ideas and feelings in an accepting group setting. In today's world, this is truly a gift.
and talk through my ideas and feelings in an accepting group setting. In today's world, this is truly a gift.
"I have attended Nancy’s “Women’s Circle” for several months and find it an inspiring and nourishing retreat from the rush of daily life. Nancy creates a warm and inviting physical space for the meeting in addition to a safe haven for us to share deeply and authentically without judgment. I find the time a valuable way to tune in to my inner self and become more grounded.
"Even more valuable is having the rare opportunity to really be heard – to express myself out loud and talk through my ideas and feelings in an accepting group setting. In today’s world, this is truly a gift. I attend a couple other women’s groups and what I like about Nancy’s group is that she comes excellently prepared with a theme, questions and support readings or exercises to back up the sharing and discussions. Yet, it doesn’t feel structured or forced. She gently leads the conversation and adds her own wisdom while letting the meeting flow effortlessly."

You have no idea how much it means to me to get together and share with so many wise women and learn from everyone's experiences - it feels like an amazing gift that came into my life at the right time.
"Nancy, I just want to thank you so much for the nice session yesterday! You have no idea how much it means to me to get together and share with so many wise women and learn from everyone's experiences - it feels like an amazing gift that came into my life at the right time. I have been really isolated and stuck in a rut for a while now recovering from some health issues (over the last 4 years there has just been a domino effect of things) and your group feels like a small beginning to be part of the “real world” again without the stress of having to “perform” or put on a “happy face”.

The attention and care that Nancy brought to the group...was exactly the kind of support I was looking for.
"Nancy is a wonderful facilitator. I found her Women's Circle to be a safe and empowering experience that was very helpful for me as I approach some new goals in my life. The attention and care that Nancy brought to the group through inspiring rituals and readings, as well as sharing her own story, was exactly the kind of support I was looking for. Also, I think the structure she provided was really important and helpful in keeping us on topic, as well as including everyone by sharing the readings. I loved how she created a space of ritual and caring that made me feel truly honored to be there."
