“When I started my coaching journey with Sandy, I was struggling on how to balance my career in agronomy with my passion for entrepreneurship and well-being. Through her reflective questions and guidance, I gained clarity on my goals, improved my mindset, and learned practical tools for balance and self-awareness. As a result, I have started pursuing my entrepreneurial journey with confidence and even co-founded a nonprofit that supports refugee student entrepreneurs in Kenya and Tanzania. Now, I am more intentional, balanced, and confident in pursuing both my personal and professional goals also viewing challenges as opportunities for learning and progress.”

“After a successful 35-year career as a leader in nonprofit management and fundraising, I was looking to make a career shift.  I was interested in utilizing my contacts and expertise to help build a new career plan which maximized results in a timely manner.  But after years of helping others realize their professional goals, I was lost as to how to make mine into a reality.

With Sandy's advice and guidance, I have built a clear and concise new career path roadmap.  We organize weekly meetings, have clear objectives and actionable items and along with Sandy's advice, I am building a strategy for success that would not have happened otherwise.  

My online sessions with Sandy have given me the structure I need to realize my professional and personal goals.”

“A colleague recommended Sandy to me when I mentioned that I was advised to apply for a new job but I was unsure if I should.  One trial session is all it took for me to sign up.

Throughout our sessions, Sandy helped me get inside my head; to identify and then to articulate my priorities for my career and in life.

Speaking to her renewed my sense of confidence, as she unearthed advantages that I was forgetting I had. We came full circle at the end of our six-month period, when I took on a new job – a step up in my career. What’s great is that she continues to send me bits of info and articles and checks in on me to remind me that advancing my career is not done when the opportunity arises, but as consistent rituals turned into fun habits.”

“I first got in touch with Sandy early in my career, when I was just starting out as a freelancer and didn’t really know how to navigate things. Thanks to her expert understanding of the job market, and her ability to support, understand, and motivate, I slowly found my direction. Over the past year, after several sessions with her, I’ve become more structured in my work, more confident, taking on new projects, managing clients better, and building a stronger professional network. It’s been a challenging path, but also a really fun and enjoyable one, thanks to Sandy’s good vibes and personality.”

“I first connected with Sandy during a time of uncertainty, when I was struggling with anxiety and trying to make sense of what the future might hold. As an introvert, I had always viewed social media and networking with hesitation, but Sandy helped me see them as spaces for genuine connection rather than obligation. She also helped me realize that my lifelong dream of having a home was really about finding peace and belonging, not ownership. Her warmth and insight have been a constant anchor, helping me embrace change with calm and confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone on a similar journey.”

“When I found myself at a crossroad in my career and personal life, a kind friend referred me to Sandy. I was unsure about my next step; I was frustrated and confused. I didn’t know if it was better to stay where I was or make a change — and I felt stuck and drained. 

From our first conversation, Sandy became not only my mentor and coach, but a true ally. In our sessions, she created a space where I could slow down, reflect, and be honest about what I really wanted. She challenged me to think differently, and push myself to ask bigger questions. She is incredibly intuitive, wise and rational. It was because of her coaching style that I reconnected with my strengths, reframed how I saw my experience, and approached my next step with a completely new mindset. 

Working with her gave me the clarity and confidence to pursue opportunities that I previously wouldn’t have. More than that, she really helped me see my own value and strengths. 

I owe Sandy a huge debt of gratitude. I am at a job where I feel challenged and fulfilled. What makes her great isn’t just her experience or wisdom (which are incredibly valuable), but she’s a someone who combines deep listening, genuine care and practical ideas to help you uncover your own best version. And the wonderful thing about Sandy is that she genuinely cares about her clients, and that’s really rare!”

— Sara W, Humanitarian and Development Sector

“I have been working with Sandy as my coach for over a year and a half now, and it has been transformative. From our very first session, Sandy created a session that felt safe, honest, and deeply thoughtful. She has this incredible ability to listen, not just to what I’m saying, but to what’s underneath it, and gently guide me towards clarity.

Her coaching has helped me navigate some complex decisions, stretch into new challenging roles, and stay grounded during moments of uncertainty. Sandy doesn’t push; she partners. She asks the kind of questions that stay with you long after the session ends, and she always brings a calm, steady presence that makes even the toughest conversations feel manageable.

What I appreciate most is how real she is. There’s no pretense, no formula, just a genuine commitment to helping me grow in ways that feel authentic and sustainable. I’ve come away from our work not just with better strategies, but with a deeper sense of who I am and how I want to lead.”

— Rushini P, Climate Resilience Specialist

“When I signed up to work with Sandy, I was stuck in my job search. I wasn't even sure how I could benefit from coaching but from the very first session I felt sparks of motivation that built momentum as we worked together. It was powerful for me to hear my own voice reflected back through Sandy as she carefully listened, highlighted and connected themes she was hearing from me. From our work together, I felt new energy to take baby steps in my networking and to better articulate my enthusiasm for my work as I connect with potential employers.”
