"I have worked with several coaches over the years, but I really have been the most encouraged and had the best results working with Rosie, and I'll tell you why I think that is. One, I feel that Rosie really is just a natural-born coach, and this presents itself in many ways including a calm confidence that allows her to easily encourage and guide her clients (including me!). Two, I always feel that her commitment to me and my success comes through very clearly in our work together -- I feel her number one goal is for me to achieve success (which, I am happy to admit, I have!). Three, she is a straight shooter and I feel her approach to giving honest feedback is firm but also kind, which has helped me to take a look at things that I need to improve in a positive, inspired way. Four, her coaching is practical and action-based, which is the best kind of coaching as it is the most likely to produce real, measurable results. I really value her support and encouragement. You are a rock star, Rosie! "

"Hiring Rosie as my coach was one of the best decisions I ever made! Even after just one coaching call with Rosie, I started making positive changes. Immediately, I started setting better goals and began to feel "unstuck." Throughout our coaching, Rosie always asked powerful questions that helped me to look at things from a different angle. Additionally, she acknowledged my accomplishments and encouraged me to take time out to celebrate them rather than quickly moving on to the next action step.

I originally hired Rosie to help me with career development, but I appreciate that she saw me as one complete package, helping me make strides in my personal life as well. Not only did I start my own business, but I also strengthened my marriage, improved my parenting skills, lost weight, and decluttered my entire home. Also, because of Rosie, I now celebrate my strengths instead of focusing on my weaknesses. I am truly grateful to her and believe she is an amazing coach. Every time I think of her, I smile. Rosie had a hand in all my accomplishments throughout 2010 and 2011, and as new opportunities and challenges arise, I know I can always turn to her again for perspective and support."

"When I first contacted Rosie, I felt ripe with potential but stuck in a pattern of financial instability, dissatisfaction and fear. I was an associate editor at a prominent lifestyle magazine, and yet I was struggling to make ends meet and felt in many ways like I was spinning my wheels. Not long after I started working with Rosie I was promoted at the magazine. An immediate goal was met, but there was more to come. Within the next year, I figured out a way to leave that job, become self-employed and at least double, almost triple, my income. The financial freedom I have enjoyed is priceless, but maybe more importantly I have learned to confront my fears, to embrace honesty. Rosie taught me that "Where there's a will there's a way," and that goals that may seem unattainable are indeed possible. She has motivated me to make braver decisions and feel more certain about them; her coaching makes me feel inspired and hopeful. She was recommended to me, and I highly recommend her to others."

"My life has dramatically changed since Rosie entered the picture. She has guided me through many major decisions and helped me find completion where I struggled before. I greatly value my relationship with her as she is funny and kind, but also challenging and thorough. I truly feel that if everyone had a Rosie in their life they would feel more satisfaction and joy in their lives - she makes you accountable while making you realize that life is an exciting journey that should be savored."

"I've been in high tech marketing for most of my adult life and last year was a miserable year. I really didn't know if it was me or the job but I needed someone to help me figure it out; someone who was not a therapist. I'm a huge fan of therapy but this was less a case of "how did my family of origin influence my behavior" than "how do I change my situation?" On the day I was to speak with Rosie for the first time I got laid off. Five months later, after she picked me up, dusted me off, helped me figure out where I wanted to go and set me on the path, I broke up with her. And she was happy to see me go!

Working with Rosie is a bit like having your own personal self-help book. Her guidance appeals because it's accessible. She helps you realize how much you are, or can be, in control, so you don't feel as if you're at the mercy of the powers that be. Rosie assigns what she calls "fieldwork" to encourage exploration and self-care; helps you set goals specific to your situation (e.g. frustrated writer, budding entrepreneur, partner in difficult relationship); provides support and encouragement. Her sessions are full of illustrative stories and practical strategies. She is empathetic, funny and warm. I'll miss talking to her but we did good work together and it was a wonderful experience. "

"I hired Rosie after my therapist of all people suggested that I find a coach. When I started with Rosie, I didn't like where I was living, was unhappy in my personal life and burnt out on my career. With her support I was able to figure out what I really wanted and become confident and focused enough to pursue it. I am now happily married, living in a place that I love, and really excited about my life. Rosie has an inner magic, a keen intellect and great sympathy for others. She will help you figure out how to help yourself, and the results will be amazing."

"When I started working with Rosie, I was unhappy in my career as a web designer but had no idea how to make positive changes in my life. I worried too much about what I should do vs. what I wanted for myself. Through hard work and learning to take manageable steps towards my goals, today I am an artist, and work both for myself as a printmaker and at a contemporary art museum, a community where I thrive. Rosie also helped me learn the value of exercise and self-care as a means to feeling my best. For the first time in my life I can honestly say I know who I am and what I want. Rosie is a great partner, a sympathetic and insightful listener, and will keep you honest about your own responsibility for how you choose to live. Even now I still find certain "Rosie-isms" float through my head as I continue to make progress. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone wanting to make positive and long-lasting changes in her life."

"Working with Rosie has changed me and the way I live my life. The main focus of our work together has been time management because, as a small business owner and a mom, I've needed to learn how to use the time I have for work as effectively as I can, but also to make time for the other parts of my life. Rosie has a keen sense of the challenges of being a working mom. She helps me map my week and prioritize my to-do list, but also makes sure I plan time for friends, yoga, and date night. In other words, she ensures that I create a balanced life.

Since working with Rosie I've weathered a tremendous amount of change in my business: closing my brick-and-mortar store, moving entirely online, dabbling in wholesaling and launching a second store. Along the way, there have been some really rough patches and some great highs - but there's no way I could have kept it all in perspective without her help. She has taught me to set realistic goals, break down the steps to get there and appreciate my accomplishments.

For me, the biggest challenge still has been stopping and recognizing when I achieve something - whether it's a goal realized, a killer press mention, a financial milestone, etc. Without Rosie's coaching, I don't think I would have even seen, let alone actively changed, my inability to appreciate my accomplishments. She helps me filter out the noisy chatter of self-doubt and focus on what I can achieve and what I really want to do - for my business and myself.

Rosie is so good at what she does that she makes it seem easy. I can only assume it's because she's truly found her calling. She's also whip-smart, warm, honest, respectful, and funny. Working with her is honestly one of the best things I've ever done for myself! "

"From an outsider's perspective, I had an exciting corporate career with great potential for additional growth and financial reward. But from my perspective, I was burned out and wanting to make a change. Even so, for years I felt stuck and was unable to take action. And then I started working with Rosie who helped me to see the bigger picture of wanting to live a life that is more authentic and satisfying, with my career as one important component. With Rosie's open mind, caring demeanor and relentless support, I was not only able to make the leap and leave my job, but I am also on a path to a more fulfilling career and overall happier life."

"When I started working with Rosie, I was in a staff job that while gratifying and prestigious, wasn't everything I wanted. With Rosie's coaching I overcame a number of entrenched fears to recognize the entrepreneurial areas I wanted to focus and work on. These were things I knew I wanted but had been afraid to pursue because I thought I lacked some of the requisite skills. Rosie specifically helped me in the areas of networking, building meaningful business relationships and partnerships and not being afraid to ask for what I wanted; in short, taking action. The structure provided by Rosie has helped me to not only become more creative, but most importantly, I've become a better producer."

"One of the most invaluable tools I have acquired through working with Rosie is the practice of process. Rosie helped me guide myself out of a fairly paralyzed place of fear and discontent by helping me identify and initiate the crucial small steps that become Big Change. I keep all of our notes in a "Rosie" folder in my Outlook, from which I readily access pertinent nuggets of wisdom relating to past challenges, so that I can use the same processes to get me over the next hurdle. I am so grateful for her not only helping me discover tools for action but also enlightening many emotional truths about myself, work, and success that I previously wasn't open to exploring."
          — Robin Rosenberg, Creative Resources Manager and Food Blogger, Portland, Oregon

"Rosie has a real gift for understanding her clients' needs, fears and capabilities and helping them to see a vision for 'the way forward' with work and life. The money I invested in coaching is really paying off in my feeling better about myself, as well as getting a good client response and new projects with the launch of my consulting practice. I also see the potential for getting better organized so I can build the practice in a way that provides longer term stability and satisfaction... Rosie is worth her weight in gold!"
          — Mary McElroy, Management Consultant, West Newton, Massachusetts

"Rosie is an incredibly generous and resourceful ally. Positive and careful. Generous and punctual. I am very glad for all the work we have done together. I feel better equipped for my future and I owe much of it to her support."
