TESTIMONIALS

"Tammy has crossed me on my journey as I work on advocating for the nursing profession.  It was good to speak with Tammy another nurse who understands our discipline and who is also very passionate about advocating for nurses.  It was a pleasure speaking with Tammy another nurse as I struggle along the journey of nursing advocacy.  It helped to replenish my nursing soul to speak with another like minded nurse.  Tammy helped to keep me accountable to the goals I set for myself.  Being positive and keep moving forward.  There will always be bumps but it's how we deal with those and move on makes us successful.  There will always be failure, that's just how I'm not going to do it in the future, lol.  
Nurses would benefit from Tammy's coaching, especially since she is one of us and working through the struggles we all share."

"While mindfulness is something that is new for me being paired with Tammy let me explore it more fully. I felt very at ease to try new forms of mindfulness with her as well. 

We discovered some modalities that we truly enjoyed. That made each meeting exciting. I truly enjoyed our sessions. I now feel more confident as I use mindfulness practices with my own clients. Thank you Miss Tammy for helping me hone my skills! "

" Life seemed to be in limbo at the time I started working with you. Through our sessions together you supported me in my search for direction. We discussed our mutual characteristic as being a ‘fixer’ & wanting to ‘tell you how to fix things’. Tammy, you did a beautiful job holding space for me and authentically, curiously, listening. You enabled me to brainstorm & search for my direction. Since then, I have improved my eating habits, exercise routine, & the ability to hold space for others.

I looked forward to working with you each week because you were supporting without being judgmental. This created a safe space for me and encouraged me to be fearless, both in exploring my path and supporting you during your exploration. The experience was as if we were old friends being there for each other, but more honest and fearless.  

My light bulb moment with you came when I truly understood my ‘fixer’ habits. It has been amazing to step back, really focus on the other’s needs and giving them support and a safe space to explore. My relationship with my daughter has improved immensely. Just the other day she was very upset with her father, my ex-husband. Before working with you I would have jumped into the conversation with both feet by telling her my opinions and advice. This would ultimately have led to friction and an unsatisfactory conclusion that would not have supported her at all. I leaned in, became authentically curious, and really tried to understand her and her needs. Wow! That was powerful. So, thank you for who you are and what you are doing. Continue to shine your light!  And, any client would be lucky to work with you and have your support."

"Thanks so very much for sharing this coaching time, and this season of new beginnings, with me!  You have climbed many mountains, conquering each step of your journey to find answers and correct direction with hope, wisdom, positivity, grace, self-love, and excited anticipation of all your future holds!  I am honored to call you “friend” and colleague.  May God hear each whisper of your heart as you seek to serve and share your journey with others!  The following is a true testimony of what I sensed, witnessed, and appreciated most about you and our time together, friend.

I was struggling with my own self-worth and confidence, the result of a life filled with the negative words spoken into my life by so many others.  The voices in my head and heart told me I would always struggle to find rest and the confidence I so desperately sought!  With a non-judgmental approach, deep conversation, and holding space that allowed me to “be myself," Tammy opened the door to allow me to explore not only who I’ve become but to also reflect on the past the held me in emotional bondage for so long.  In so doing, I was able to quiet the negative voices and influences I carried in my head and heart, and began to hear a new voice emerging from deep within my spirit…my own voice.  I’m now growing to believe in myself and the God-given abilities that, up until now, I have been afraid to practice.     

I am grateful for this opportunity to work with Tammy!  She provided a safe-space for me to explore the sense of personal conflicts with which I lived for so long.  And she did so without judgement or critique.  In so doing, I was able to lead me to new insights and gain direction regarding the path that lay ahead on my own journey.

My overall confidence, both personally and professionally, began to climb and eventually SOAR as never before.  I have come to see life filled with hope possibility and sense a desire to share this hope with others who may also be struggling with self-confidence.

As human beings, we all likely struggle to some degree with low self-confidence at some point in our lives.  Our reason & situations may differ.  Our circumstances may be different.  But one thing never changes…we all need, and likely desire, some form of community and genuine friendship.  We all need the opportunity to “be ourselves," to be vulnerable with another human-being, & we all need to know we can TRUST that in such moments we are safe sharing our deepest hurting hearts.  Tammy provided that space and I am deeply thankful for that.  Now, I am free to move from “the past” & sense hope for the future me!

Seriously, anyone struggling with low self-esteem, but especially for those who have suffered emotional, physical, or generational abuse or trauma in their lives, especially if those issues have left scares that refuse to heal would benefit from coaching with Tammy.  Tammy is easy to talk with, will be forthright and honest when needed, and will provide a safe-space for confidential candor.  She speaks from the heart as someone who has made the journey from victim to VICTOR, and this generates respect and encouragement for those seeking a coach who will walk-the-walk and talk-the-talk as they join you along your journey of hope.

"When Tammy and I began working together, to put it plainly, I had a lot going on in my life. Novice motherhood, navigating pandemic life in a foreign country, and coming to terms with my current geographically forced break in my career.  On top of all that, I openly admit that I was struggling with guilt and a sense of loss of purpose. Being an experienced ER RN, taking an absolute back seat during the pandemic had weighed on me. Geographically, I had been unable to work from 2019- present. Then when it seemed work was going to be available in the clinical setting, I had to forfeit a job due to lack of child care in the area. So as someone who’s been an avid worker to take this much of a back seat, I was struggling. But that struggle lead me to Tammy. Lead me to openly talk about how I feared I would be viewed as an inadequate nurse upon returning to work. We openly talked about my fears of having lost a skill set and having missed out on a new set of skills that the pandemic taught nurses. Along with all of these career related issues, Tammy helped me navigate new parenthood, talking with my partner, and taking small steps to improve my self daily. Tammy helped me to realize that I have all the tools I need, and it is okay to need someone to show me how to use them again. She expressed that the desire to be perfect is not achievable but that one should focus on becoming “the best version of themselves.” I often told Tammy “the problem is, I know everything I should and could be doing, I just can’t make myself start doing it,” she challenged me with small tasks at first to help better myself. And as I felt a sense of accomplishment from those small tasks, we moved on to bigger ones. Each conversation while geographically very distant felt as if we were sitting down in the same room together. Every ounce of mentorship felt personalized to what I needed and what stage of my unique journey we were on. Whether a professional, or a stay at home mom; a new nurse or a season medical professional: Tammy’s professional coaching practice has the capabilities to help you become the best version of yourself.

"Before working with you, I just felt stuck. While I am fortunate and lucky to have a spouse, job, and home that I love, I myself didn’t feel I was making forward progress or change. I felt stagnant in my health and care.When I saw your post about coaching, I thought to myself, that’s what I need! And sure enough, working with you for an hour each week really opened my eyes to what specifically I needed to do to acknowledge methods to breaking out of that stagnant feeling. I appreciated us talking through the many aspects that make up daily life and how small and manageable changes can add up. You held me accountable to be honest about what worked and what we could move on from. You took such care to be encouraging and empathetic so that we could create a holistic life plan.Compared to where I first started, I now feel so much more prepared to face challenges as well not holding on to guilt that not each day is going to be a perfect routine. It’s ok to be a human and have human reactions that can be handled in a myriad of healthy ways.Working with Tammy is a game changer. She has the perfect personality to easily bond and talk while maintaining professionalism. She coaches in way that focuses on honesty and accountability. It’s not about trying to be a perfect client to her and she never made me feel like I failed when I didn’t hit a goal. We had great discussions of the holistic interventions available to assist me in bettering the different aspects of my life.I now feel better equipped to actually live the healthy lifestyle I’ve been wanting without the toxic guilt or restriction that health culture can be hyper focused on. I recommend Tammy highly as a coach because she will work with each client closely and with care."
