Cultivating Authentic Relationships One Step at a Time

 

The Anatomy of a Connection

Human connection is a profound bond formed when people feel truly seen, valued, and appreciated.

It fosters a sense of belonging, making individuals feel heard and understood. This validation not only nurtures emotional intimacy but also allows relationships to flourish, providing comfort and support during life’s challenges. Ultimately, this deep sense of connection enriches our lives, making us feel valued and emotionally fulfilled.

I tried talking with friends, coworkers, and family, but talking to a professional is the only thing that finally helped me make a choice I feel good about. Having a coach is an investment in my long-term success and happiness in my career, and Paula is as good as they come. Coaching is Paula's talent and I feel lucky to get to benefit from it.”

I literally can not express in words her strengths skills and capacities that have taken me to a far deeper level of development, learning and growth. Her intuition, ability to bring leadership strengths and point out my b.s. are just a few of my favorite things about working with Paula”

– Darla B.

"Signing up with a life coach was something new and unfamiliar to me. I knew it was something I wanted to explore but I was nervous, afraid and had zero expectations. The moment I met Paula, she made the decision of having a life coach one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Paula is so easy to talk to and has an amazing ability to bring out the deepest and biggest topics of your life which helps facilitate really meaningful coaching sessions. I’ve learned so much about myself and discovered personal growth with Paula not only through productive coaching sessions, but with a lot of key takeaways and exercises that immediately impacted my day to day life and ultimately helped me create the best version of myself. I’m excited and eager to continue my journey with Paula as my coach.”

– Stephanie C

"Working with Paula over the last six months has been a life changing experience. Our sessions were on Zoom, and somehow, every session, I felt like she was able to connect with me and get right to the heart of the matter. The biggest breakthrough I had was around breaking habits of putting everyone else’s needs before my own. She helped me recognise that I had choices about how I spent my time, who I work with, who I’m friends with and supported me so that I was able to safely make some major changes in my life. The impact of the work has continued long after the sessions - and the way she helped me shift my perspective was so powerful, that I continue to be able to prioritise my own needs - and live with much healthier habits in my relationships. Thank you!”
