"It’s hard to encapsulate the way I feel about Des, because I love her and she’s helped me so much in our short time together! We initially started working together in a business coaching capacity, which later evolved into overcoming perfectionism—I’m currently writing my first novel and had been having a hard time dealing with procrastination. I’m so glad Des was open to working on this with me because I feel so much more confident with how to move forward with my novel, and how to fit my writing practice around my business and life."

— Ella, on Reclaiming Confidence in Creativity

"What stands out most is the unwavering support I received as I ventured into creating my own business. Des's insights and guidance weren't just practical – they were a reflection of her understanding of who I am. With her help, my business became a true expression of my authentic self"

— Yahaira, Aligning Passion with Business Strategy

"I loved having a time and space to work with Des on how to move forward with my goals and not feel stuck. Having that time together to dive into the challenges, and come out of a session with more clarity, helped move me forward. Des was also able to support me with a variety of challenges that were connected and holding me back—whether in family, relationships, or business."

— Patty, Gaining Clarity and Moving Forward

"I feel at ease and clear after working together because she helped me to be honest about where I am at in this stage of entrepreneurship. This was my first time working with a coach 1:1, and I really enjoyed that Des reached out for check-ins in between our visits. Des always made me feel supported in what I was going through in my personal life before digging into the coaching goals I had."

— Anna, Therapist & Business Owner

"I love how Des held space for everything I brought to our sessions, from business to my novel and my many other creative endeavors! I felt so lost before we started working together and was honestly ready to quit my business altogether. Des helped me identify what I loved about my business (and what I needed to let go of) and helped me gain so much clarity. I now have a better idea of what direction I want to go moving forward, which I’m so grateful for."

— Ella, Balancing Business and Creativity

"If you are considering coaching-focused personal or career therapy, Des is probably the single most important investment you could make. My goals going into our coaching work were to gain ownership and confidence at work. Not only did she push me to grow outside of my comfort zone, but she also helped me reflect on my behaviors and untangled lots of my hidden and previously-conditioned thought patterns."

— Feipu, on Transformative Career Growth

"I'm absolutely thrilled to share my heartfelt thoughts about Des, my incredible coach, whose impact on my life has been nothing short of transformative. From the very beginning, Des created a warm and gentle space that allowed me to explore and embrace all facets of myself. Her empathetic approach and keen understanding made me feel not just heard, but truly understood."

— Yahaira, Aspiring Entrepreneur Turned Business Owner

"I am so happy I booked Des as my coach! Working with Des gave me clarity, confidence, and great support. I had so many ideas floating around in my head, and Des helped me to organize and get clear on how I wanted to build my business."

— Sadé, on Gaining Clarity and Confidence

"The highlight was noticing the areas I was holding on to perfectionism that I wasn't aware of, then learning to do something about it. This helped me begin to make the changes in habits of thoughts and behaviors. Working with Des, I learned how to be more compassionate with myself, focus on what's in my control and accept what's out of my control, and begin to create space to focus on my well-being while building my business."

— Patty, Overcoming Perfectionism

"I absolutely recommend working with Des! I felt completely supported throughout our sessions and walked away with tangible practices to work on in between sessions. This helped me to grow in awareness and build habits and skills throughout our work together."

— Patty, on Practical Growth and Support

"This foundation of trust and openness laid the groundwork for significant personal and professional growth. Throughout our sessions, I was encouraged to challenge myself in a healthy and constructive manner. Des skillfully guided me through self-discovery, helping me uncover strengths and capabilities that I never realized I had."

— Yahaira, on Personal and Professional Growth

"Working with Des was different because she was able to support me through a variety of challenges in motherhood, family, relationships, and business. She helped me untangle so many different thoughts and habits and empowered me to get back to what's most important and meaningful. I also felt supported in between sessions because she sent resources such as podcasts and articles that reinforced what we were working on."

— Patty, on Finding Balance Across Life and Business

"I can go on and on about how intentional and therapeutic Des and her work is. But a few paragraphs do no justice to the work and intentionality Des brings to each session. I'm beyond grateful to have met her and been able to work with her on my journey."

Feipu, on Des’s Intentional and Therapeutic Approach

"I loved working with Des! After our work together, I have more capacity to focus my energy on my goals and dreams. I've definitely moved from survival and reacting to what "needs" to be done, to being more curious and making space for my own well-being both physically and emotionally. I also have more capacity to work on business goals, something that wasn't possible 6 months ago."

— Patty, Business Owner & Mother

"I’ve been in business for 3 years and had yet to work with a coach because I’m quite particular about who I work with. No coach I had come across really spoke to me the way Des has—she just gets it! A lot of our core values aligned, and I felt really comfortable sharing and brainstorming with her."

— Ella, A Perfect Coaching Fit

"I would love to work with Des again and plan to return when I am ready."

— Anna, Coaching Client

"It was helpful to have someone to normalize and validate where I am at. I enjoyed having a coach that has a similar professional background of being a therapist."

— Anna, Private Practice Owner

"Des's impact extended beyond personal growth; she has equipped me with the skills and mindset to be a prepared and confident business owner. Through her guidance, I've gained a deeper understanding of the professional landscape, making me feel not only ready but excited to navigate the intricacies of entrepreneurship. I can't express enough gratitude for the positive impact Des has had on my life."

— Yahaira Villa, on Working with Des

"Working with Des over the last three months was such a wonderful investment. My only regret is that I didn't reach out sooner! Thank you, Des! You are truly a gift!"

— Sadé, A Transformative Investment

"Des is such a gem of a human, and I’m so thankful for her. If you get a chance to work with her, you definitely should!!"
