So I came into Meira's life coaching session not really knowing what to expect. I'd never tried using a life coach before or anything like that. I'd done therapy a lot in the past and often felt like I was just kind of talking my way around my problems over and over again, but I did know that I felt stuck. I felt simultaneously like I wasn't reaching my goals at all and also like I was driving so hard that I couldn't even rest. And it was a tough place to be and I think that was my impetus for signing up. And you know, I expected to get some tools like simple stuff, like maybe work out a calendar, schedule, commitments, those kinds of things. But what I found with Meira was actually something much more deep and transformative than I expected from life coaching and much less, you know, over just three months of working together. I think Meira brings a kind of depth in energy and clarity to the work that she does that comes from her experience with meditation and also just a certain energy and honesty that she has. And if I can call out one thing that I appreciate the most about working with Meira is that it always felt like she validated what needed to be heard but was ready to push back on things that were coming from a less helpful part of myself, which is something that I knew I struggled with. Meira really was able to cut to the heart of the issues that I was experiencing, and not only that, but incorporate a set of practical tools that I could take on my own when those problems started to come back up again, so that not only could I deal with the root issue of the way that I was approaching my life, but also use that kind of new insight and clarity into how I was approaching my problems to then, you know, make the changes that I was hoping to see in the first place. And I’ll say after working with Meira for three months, I not only have a much better understanding of who I am and what I bring to my life, the talk that I show up with every day, but also a deeper ability to give myself rest and grace and through that to be able to accomplish the things that I was always hoping to. So I would strongly recommend Meira’s coaching services to anyone who feels stuck, to anyone who feels like they would benefit from a person with a really powerful heart and stillness that is willing to be your partner in moving past some of the tougher aspects of being a human.
