Client Experiences with Relationship Coaching

Hi,
When I went to Sheila I had already given up on my marriage. My husband Noel had no interest in me, he only seemed to think about work, the kids and even golf. We were married for ten years, half of which was very unhappy.
We had gotten to a stage where we would argue about the silliest things. I would yell at him, and he would just sit there without saying a thing. That just infuriated me even more, so I yelled more thinking he wasn’t listening to me.

A mutual friend introduced me to Sheila, she had gone to six sessions with her and solved her relationship problems. Sheila showed them, and later me, how to see both sides of the disagreement. We not know how to listen better to each other and communicate more properly.

It took me a little while to confess to myself I nagged too much, but without Sheila I would never have gotten to that revelation! I realized my style of arguing made Noel feel attacked and made him shut down in response.

Sheila also taught Noel how to understand his own mind and thought processes. Noel turns out to be an Auditory Digital person, so he spends quite some time in his head while cutting himself off from emotions. I am on the other hand a Kinaesthetic person, and rely very strongly on my emotions in day to day life.

The biggest thing Sheila has been able to do for us, aside from understanding each others communicational style, is to teach us how to speak a common language; so we are communicating with each other, not just to each other.

We are now celebrating our eleventh anniversary and we are also celebrating that we no longer have disagreements that lead to full blown discussions and fights.

Thank you Sheila!

I dated Mark for five years, and at some point I started wondering if we would ever take the next step, however when I would mention marriage Mark would completely avoid the topic. I was already 38 and quite ready to finally settle down and start a family with the man I loved.

I heard about Sheila and went to four sessions. By the time the fourth came around I realized Mark and I did not want the same things in life. I pleaded for him to come to a session with me and Sheila and he refused. I realized we were simply not looking in the same direction and decided to end the relationship. It was really hard, but with Sheila’s guidance I was able to get out of a relationship that was not going anywhere, and thanks to taking that step I am now, six months later, in a healthy relationship with an individual looking for the same things in life I am.

My new partner has proposed to me and we’ve set the date for next June. We also both want to have kids right away! I am so eager to start a family with Will, I just can’t wait, but at the same time I have to say I owe most of it to Sheila’s support and knowledgeable guidance.

Thanks a million for everything!

Dear Sheila,

I’d like to thank you again for your loving support. I feel so strongly about what you have accomplished that I want to tell the world about the difference you made in my life! You know how I used to just think about my career, at finally when I was forty years old I thought I wanted to settle down and have a family. I just couldn’t find the right woman for me, all the women I found were either married or unavailable. You helped me realize I had unresolved commitment problems stemming from as far back as my childhood traumas, which I thought I had given a place and dealt with. You helped me realize I needed to put an old story down to rest and get on with my life.

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve met a wonderful person, her name is Susan and I cannot live without her! I am just so grateful I had the courage to let her into my life and truly get close to me. I do owe that to you though, without you I would have turned into a lonely man without a family, instead we are expecting our first child together!

Thanks Sheila!
