In the past 2 years, I have gone through major life changes from losing my husband of 35 years to retiring from education after 34 years. Being a wife and teacher was so much a part of my identity I had no idea who I was and felt so lost. I began my healing while working with a therapist. After I worked with her for a little over a year, we felt I was ready to move on but I wasn’t confident I could continue my healing on my own. My therapist suggested finding a life coach to support me as I moved forward.

Working with Rita has been a true blessing. I am always amazed at what I discover with each session. She just seems to be able to ask the right questions and when I answer her it is a “light bulb” moment. I am beginning, for the first time in my life, to listen to my body and to truly concentrate on why I feel that way. I feel confident trusting my gut. When I say things out loud it sound so different than when it is running around in my head. My past is filled with self-destructive habits. I wasn’t even aware I was doing it to myself. With Rita’s support, I am healing and starting to enjoy my life instead of just getting through the day.

I was deeply impressed with how much progress I was able to make on quite a lot of different major relationship issues across many different topics in just a few one-hour sessions with Rita. She provided guidance in helping me move through some quite difficult topics in a way that felt really respectful and kind at the same time.

It’s quite hard to open up about some of this, especially around intimacy and major relationships. I always felt guided and well looked after through some quite difficult things that are hard to open up about, but Rita always made it easy to do that. Rita is a very trustworthy person to bring those difficult things forward with. And so it’s felt safe to do that with Rita. All the while, Rita has been always on my side, always reassuring and supportive.

I think supportive is a really key word in the way that Rita has done things and helped guide me in a gentle way, but also with enough guidance when needed that if I was going off track somewhere Rita would bring me back towards where we needed to go.

My coaching sessions with Rita helped hugely in more than one area, but I think most of all that it helped me identify and helped guide me through a process where I could recognise how to step into the stronger masculinity that I want, how to relate better with my wife and most of all to change it to do my part towards changing a dynamic in our love life which has been an important part of what has really helped improve our intimacy. And for that, I thank Rita very much.

The biggest words for me that come up from working with Rita are grounded and bravery.

In the beginning, I came into the coaching sessions with just a lot of garbled, anxious thoughts. I really like how, at the end of every single session, Rita helped me to see that everything that’s kind of overwhelming in my head always comes back to tapping into myself and tapping into what’s already there in the support that’s already available around me, even if I don’t find it in myself.

Rita’s grounded presence as a guide in our sessions was always held with so much openness, I was able to trust that the support that that is in this space is there for me. Whatever comes up is welcome.

I appreciate the sense of courage and bravery Rita’s coaching inspires in encouraging me to come back to myself. This helped me grow into my knowing that I have the tools that I need, but also I have the tools to know where I need to ask for support.

Rita’s coaching also helped me learn to tap into my body and senses which really grounded me in being able to commit to practices that helped me open my creativity into a new era of my business.
