| The coaching with Minnie took place within a respectful and relaxed environment, and helped me begin questioning preconceived ideas I had, explore job opportunities I would never have imagined for myself before, and build trust in what the future holds for me. Minnie’s constant support, keen listening skills and encouragement made her a powerful ally to guide my reflection process and accompany me on my path.

| Working with Minnie provided me with an opportunity to look inwards and tune into personal needs and wants that I had never explored before. Through her supportive and structured coaching approach, Minnie helped me examine and understand these needs while guiding me in incorporating these into my new career and life path.

| My coaching experience has been so wonderfully positive and life-affirming. I am now better equipped to handle situations that take me out of my comfort zone. I have also learned to put more emphasis on my physical and mental well-being. In fact, I now understand that this is the key to allowing good things to happen in my life. Thank you Minnie for helping me become a better version of myself!

|
| I felt very comfortable with Minnie – she is positive, non-judgmental, encouraging and has a great balance between being objective and sympathetic. Through this process, I have become a fuller and deeper version of me; someone who is more in touch with her emotional side and responds to it rather than letting it go unexamined. This experience has helped me to connect with my truth and move forward with thoughtful and mindful action.

|
| The questions that Minnie asks are often totally disorienting, in the most positive way – they disrupt my habitual way of perceiving life and this is where the growth comes, in seeing things in a new way. Minnie’s compassion and encouragement have helped me see that I can grow from a place of sweetness and joy and easiness, slowly, over time. I used to think “I need to change because there’s a problem” whereas I have learned with Minnie that growth is actually deepest when it comes from a place of self-love.

|
| Thanks to the coaching process with Minnie I am now more conscious and able to discern situations in which I sabotage myself. I am more determined to face my fears and overcome them, more willing to take risks instead of staying in my comfort zone and more able to make decisions for myself - listen to my inner voice - instead of asking for reassurance and approval from others. I feel a real determination to give profound meaning to my life and it feels great!

| Working with Minnie has helped me turn long-standing wishes into reality. Thanks to her intense listening and full engagement in our conversations, she was able to suggest clear and precise methods of attaining the goals I set for myself. Minnie’s positive outlook is contagious and empowering.

|
| My success hinged on the fact that Minnie did not force feed me a one-size fits all formula; rather, she worked with my own rhythm, beliefs and abilities. As a result I have become so much more self-aware and in tune with my wants and needs. Also, setting goals seemed important yet daunting on my own. With Minnie, it was fast, easy and has put me back on track. I’m actually going after what I want without feeling overwhelmed - I’m no longer on auto-pilot; I’m flying this plane MANUALLY!

| Taking part in a workshop led by Minnie Richardson is a real joy. She shares her tools with simplicity and humour. She listens closely to each person and creates the safe space necessary for healthy communication within the group. Her organization and thoroughness reassure participants, so they are able to open up to the workshop’s unique agenda.

|
| I got new perspectives on my life from the creative reflection in Minnie's ‘Design Your Balanced Life’ workshop. Evaluating my priorities led to great personal benefits: I realized where I want to put more or less energy. Now I can freely enjoy all areas of my life and get the most out of each and every day.

|
| Minnie created a safe space for participants, right from the start. She was at ease with the sizable group, and inspired everyone to contribute. The activities she led us through enabled me to clearly identify my goals, and 6-months later, I still feel more balanced because of the work I did with Minnie in one day!

|
| I clearly established my priorities and set specific short and medium-term goals during Minnie’s workshop. I left feeling that everything was possible! And it works: I note an increasing improvement as I work on my plan - I have never been closer to my goals!

|
| I was ready for significant change when I began coaching, and with Minnie’s help, my life has shifted in positive and unexpected ways. Her light-hearted, fun approach was so appreciated. Minnie reflected back to me parts of myself I couldn’t see on my own, in a way that was direct and simple to understand. Through coaching I’ve developed a better, deeper understanding of myself and see my challenges differently. I now know I am in the driving seat and can bring about any life change I want.

|
| I began to see Minnie at a time in my life when I didn’t know exactly where I was going. I had aspirations and dreams, but didn’t know how to reach them. Coaching helped me to see my situation more clearly and gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams. The concrete exercises Minnie led me through helped to clarify my possible futures. I felt her belief and support were with me all the way.

| Minnie has a gentle way of getting to your core issues – cutting through the fluff and nailing the struggles and anxiety many of us feel and experience. Her compassion and empathy, balanced with a measure of toughness, make Minnie a great guide to bring along on the very intimate journey of personal development.

| Minnie asks hard questions that will get you to focus on finding your intended path. But then she will also guide you with insightful suggestions and ever so kindly inspire you to reflect and find your direction within yourself.

|
| Finally! Someone who “really” listens to me with empathy and helps me to connect to my own motivation! Through coaching, I’ve begun to make the changes I’ve long wanted to bring about in my life. In addition to being a coach, Minnie is also a fountain of wisdom - she inspires me to continue on my path.

|
| Minnie encourages me to look at my life challenges with fresh eyes. I am removing obstacles I once had thought impossible to overcome. Our phone coaching sessions are tremendously productive. The questions Minnie has me explore, and the tools she gives me have brought a level of personal inquisition to my life that I can only compare to the depth I bring to my yoga practice. The benefits of her coaching stem from an equally profound place.

| Minnie's powerful workshop on balance literally changed my life. I realized that I have control over my life and that it is possible to live as I’ve always dreamed. Her pointed questions, group, solo and artistic activities were a perfect blend – I found inside me wisdom to share with other participants. I learned more about myself in this one day than I have in years!

| Jane Heller - Montreal |
|
| Coaching with Minnie clarified my priorities – I used to feel so scattered! She helps me find the positive in every situation, which has helped me to realize how well I’m actually doing; vital as I could be quite hard on myself. Through coaching I found motivation to get started on projects I’d long procrastinated about. Finally, Minnie helped me to recognize that the path is as important as the destination, and to be more at peace with each step I take along that path.
