“When I first met with Kayla, I was thinking about moving abroad, but I had been delaying taking the first step. During a single session, Kayla said something so powerful, that the next day, I contacted an immigration attorney. I remember thinking wow, if she could help me take this next step, what more could we create?
When I found out I was definitely moving, I hired Kayla to support me through the transition.
Eighteen months later, I’ve built a life for myself in my new home city that’s super aligned with who I am. I have a wonderful group of friends—some of the best and most meaningful friendships I’ve ever had. I have a great balance between work and fun. All of the things I had originally worried about turned out so much better than I could have imagined.
The time I worked with Kayla was such a pivotal, powerful year in terms of understanding myself—personally, professionally, as a friend, a sister, a daughter. I like myself so much more now. I feel so much more confident and proud of myself. I recognize my strengths more. I’m better at celebrating my accomplishments. All of this shines outwards. The inner work I did has attracted so many good things—friendships, business leads, experiences, and opportunities that continue to unfold.
I feel an amazing sense of optimism for what’s to come and I’m giving myself permission to think big about the future. I have a few crazy ideas that I’m saying out loud. Before, I never would have allowed myself to imagine or think about more, but I realized that I can be grateful for what I have, while also asking myself what else is possible. This is huge for me.
Kayla’s coaching is powerful, masterful, intuitive, thoughtful, and caring. She won’t spoon feed you answers. She’s really good at asking questions and helping you tap into your intuition. Even if she might see where you’re going, she’ll let you arrive there for yourself.
Also, if you have moments of friction like we did, Kayla won’t skip over the hard conversations. She’ll gently push you to work through what needs to be worked through, even when it’s uncomfortable.”

“Before working with Kayla, I wasn’t living a fully authentic life. I struggled to embark on anything new unless it was perfectly planned and thought out. My way of being in the world was often rigid and limited. With my husband, I would let ego get in the way and with friends and family, I would always say “yes,” even when I meant “no.” It was exhausting.
Initially, I hired Kayla to help me figure out if I wanted to start a business, but really, on an unconscious level, I hired Kayla to help me peel back the layers of myself at a time where I was feeling rudderless.
Through our work together, I started to give myself grace and after our work together, I am more present, playful, and free, especially with my kids. I’m being more realistic with what I can and can’t do and making choices that won’t stress me out. I’m saying “no,” putting up boundaries where I need to, and putting my ego aside when I need to do that. Although I never started my own business, Kayla helped me refine what I wanted at work, which led to me accepting a promotion and stepping into a new role that I’m really excited about.
What I loved about our journey was gaining a deeper sense of self-awareness through the essence and survival mechanism exercises. Months later, I have not forgotten these aspects of myself, which isn’t something that usually happens when you work with other coaches or therapists.
If you’re considering working with Kayla, she is a light. She’s the kind of person you don’t know you need until you have her by your side. Her quiet, motivating spirit will help you celebrate the small things and make them feel like big things. If you want a tailored coaching journey that’s authentic and customized to you, talk to Kayla.”

“Kayla came recommended to me via a friend. I was in a place in my life where I was craving more; but I couldn’t tell you what or how. While I was very anxious about reaching out to Kayla initially, once we were face to face on a call, I knew there was no going back. I was so impressed by Kayla’s openness, dedication and caring for a complete stranger. I did not feel one ounce of pressure that you would expect to feel from a free call to “make the sale.” Kayla was easy to talk to and created a nurturing space that felt right for me to take a leap forward.
Going into my work with Kayla, I was doubtful about the outcome and hesitant about the financial investment, especially since there was no guarantee of change and transformative work felt so abstract. I had tried coaching in the past and while I enjoyed it in the moment, it did not leave a lasting impact. I wasn’t expecting to see or feel tangible results, but I have been pleasantly surprised!
Seeing my progress over the past nine months has been remarkable. My biggest transformation has been reconnecting with my true self. I’m able to live in a more authentic way. This has overflowed into so many areas of my life including finding the confidence to create a business, increasing my self confidence, and finding joy in my life, as well as improving the relationships with my loved ones.
I always felt like Kayla held a nurturing and safe space for me to work through any issues that arose. I didn’t expect the process to be so challenging, but also enjoyable. I have immensely enjoyed meeting with Kayla on a weekly basis and I feel like I have also made a true friend on the other side of the world that I can call on in my time of need.
If you are looking for a change in your life, to rediscover yourself, or you want to find a way to level up personally or professionally, this work is for you. Kayla will be able to help you if you are ready and committed to helping yourself.”

“Before working with Kayla, I was living someone else’s ideal of who I should be and what I should do. I thought I needed a marketing plan, a better website, and someone else’s blueprint to be successful in my business and life.
I struggled to set boundaries and express myself. When meeting with prospective Clients, I would constantly lower my fees or simply accept what was offered, even if it wasn’t enough. I would also overcommit at the expense of my body and then try to stick to a rigid routine to get everything done.
Taking the leap to work with Kayla was terrifying, but I’m very proud that I did. A year later, a lot has changed.
I’m now willing to play in the arena of my life and I have more love and compassion for myself than I’ve ever had before. I appreciate my gifts and strengths and I see myself as an authority in my field of work. I am honouring my need for rest, and I am leading with play and exploration. My days are fluid. I’m living less in my head and more in my body. I’m holding my boundaries and speaking up for what I want. I’m willing to have the hard conversations. I can’t NOT express myself now.
As a result, I am feeling a deep sense of peace, trust, and FREEDOM.
I let go of assisting work and went full-time as a freelance photographer. Without realising it, I met the financial goal I had originally wanted. I’ve also been asking for more money and quoting at the rates my projects are worth. The best part is, I’ve been focusing more on what’s really lighting me up, which is mixed media art. I started a platform to share my collages and I plan to have an exhibition in the future.
My favourite part of working with Kayla was our conversations. Her encouragement, warmth and support made it possible for me to share deeply and vulnerably. I never felt judged by her, even after speaking on topics that I felt anxious or insecure about.
I also really appreciated that she gave me a lot of time to make the decision to work with her. There was no rushing. I didn’t have to say YES right away. It was more about me making an empowered choice than it was about her needing to fill a spot, which was really refreshing.
If you choose to work with Kayla, be ready to look over the edges of your life and dive deep below the surface. She will hold space for each part of you and listen with the intent to understand. She acknowledges all the ways that you are evolving and celebrates you at each step! There is a lot of magic in how she works!”

“I started working with Kayla as a fairly new entrepreneur. My first year or so had been quite a bumpy ride, and in a particularly difficult low point, I reached out for help. Kayla graciously answered the call, and in a free hour she gifted me, she helped me untangle my thoughts and recognize that my struggles were indeed my strengths. In just one hour! If that was possible, I was convinced a year with her would be nothing short of magical. I knew I wanted to do BIG, grand things in my life and business, and I knew that I was firmly planted in my own way but I couldn’t see how to work around that on my own, so choosing to work with Kayla for a year was a commitment I made to myself to find a way to make my dreams possible.
I can’t help but giggle when I look back on our first month or so together. I was SO motivated to GET IT ALL DONE, as I’ve always been a go-getter. We mapped out these exciting projects that I expected would propel me into an amazing life. I was so firmly stuck in a “hustle ‘til you die” mentality that I didn’t realize these projects would propel me… into a spectacular breakdown. I wasn’t dead, but I had hustled my way into a dead end. Kayla’s partnership and guidance helped me find my way back, but not to the same place. Back home. To me. To my true essence. To what really matters. To what makes my life now filled with so much joy and purposeful living. To a place of grace and flow.
On the outside, my life and business look mostly the same, with a few upgrades. I’m still a single mom of four running a business helping people write books. I still have a truckload of responsibilities to manage, clients who I serve with my whole heart, and kids I would stop the world for. But inside… THAT is a whole new world for me. That is where the work was really done.
Working with Kayla is like working with a kind, thoughtful, compassionate friend who doesn’t say what you want to hear, but pushes you to find the answers you know to be true in your heart. She graciously holds up a mirror of tough love and reflects to you those things you weren’t able or willing to look at on your own. In a space that feels safe and supportive, Kayla allows you to just be you, show up as you are, and work on whatever is on your heart. There’s no wrong answer, there’s no dumb question, there’s nothing that can’t be brought to the light for a loving and honest discussion. Kayla shows up for you, even if you don’t always show up for yourself. And she never leaves you behind. This is a journey traversed together, side by side, where you hold all the keys and she makes sure you never forget that.“

“Before working with Kayla, I didn’t believe I could live the life I wanted to live. I was fearful of moving up in my career and of dating again. I was in a job that was draining me and not reflective of what I’m most passionate about. I was also experiencing my emotions as a roller coaster, having really high highs and really low lows. When I crashed, I would want to hide away from the world.
Despite trying to accomplish certain goals for years on end, I recognized I was going through the same cycle over and over. I wanted guidance on what I needed to do in order to better myself and go for the things I wanted.
With Kayla’s support, I changed my entire mindset. I now have a clear understanding of who I am and I own it. When people reflect that I’m going to do big things, I know it. I believe in myself, I trust myself, and I have a level of confidence I’ve never had in my life.
As a result, I hit all three of the goals I wanted to accomplish. I completely changed my career path and am now working at a high level job in the fashion industry. I started working with Clients in my image consulting business to the point where I have to ask myself how many I can realistically take on. I’m dating a fantastic person who I’m really attracted to. Life is great! I wake up every day feeling amazing and motivated. I’m experiencing my emotions as a wave that I know how to ride. When a challenge pops up, I’m able to check in with myself and not let it take me out.
My favorite part of working with Kayla was meeting for our weekly sessions. I loved having the space to reflect and get to the root of my challenges. Kayla’s style of coaching is honest and real. She’s compassionate, but she’s not going to hold anything back. She really understood who I was and helped me flourish into more of that person.”

Before working with Kayla, I was focused on one aspect of life—my career. Having a personal life was an after thought. I had no idea what a happy, holistic, and balanced life looked like for me. At work, I was motivated by pleasing others. I was so concerned with others’ expectations of me and whether or not I was disappointing them or making them happy.
I wanted to work with a Coach so I could get out of my own way. I wanted to weed out the external noise that was influencing me, so I could tune in to who I am and what I want out of life.
While working with Kayla, I discovered my inner being and the unique gifts I’m excited to bring to the world. I learned how to see who I am and to listen for what I really want.
Now, I’m experiencing inner peace. I’m less beholden by other people and more focused on ME. The more I put myself first, and the kinder and better I am to myself, the greater the impact I have with my life and on the lives of others.
My favorite thing about working with Kayla was learning something new every time we spoke. After every conversation, I felt my eyes and heart open a little more. Kayla is incredibly supportive and present. She was right by my side, but she didn’t let me get away with stuff. She called me out. She questioned my assumptions. She held me accountable to the things I said I wanted.
Although I didn’t check the box on all the big goals I aimed to accomplish, the amount I got out of that six months was beyond what I expected. Feeling centered in my being is the most powerful tool I’ve ever received.”

“Before working with Kayla, life was overwhelming. I felt uncertain and stressed, especially in business. Things were so scattered and I was unclear about the direction I wanted to go in.
I knew I needed support outside of myself to help me access what was inside.
When I first met Kayla, I felt something—it was like I had to know her. There was a reason. Once I got to know her, I knew she was the Coach I wanted to hire.
After working together, I feel like a different person in many ways.
I’ve become so much more clear on where I’m going and what my purpose is. I have a clear vision of who I am and what I’m here to do.
I have a deeper intimacy with myself in a way I’ve never experienced before. I now understand that I can access the guidance within me, and it’s accessible as long as I’m willing to ask for it and go there. Before, I felt so closed in and in my head all of the time. Now, I’ve created space to just BE. I’m more present in my body and in the field around me.
I’m also showing up completely different in my close relationships and in business. I’ve always been vulnerable, but it’s different now. Before, vulnerability was out of pain. Now, it’s not. Now, it’s just ME and it’s all from love.
I would describe Kayla’s coaching as intuitive and gentle, yet firm. There’s no sugar coating. She’s not going to let you off the hook. But there’s so much love. She keeps you accountable, while also accepting what you put on the table.
My favorite part of our journey together was allowing myself to feel the RAWNESS. It was tough, but I knew it was the way I needed to go, in order to get where I wanted to be.”

Before working with Kayla, life was dry, structured, and scary {not in a good way}. I could feel myself going into a frozen state. I felt like I had lost all of my confidence and my voice. Life was hard—we were just going into lockdown in the UK and it was not a good time.
I wanted to work with a Coach because I wanted to use lockdown to explore what I could do differently on the other side. I wanted someone to have my back. I needed a push to start exploring again and honestly, I had forgotten how to explore or dream on my own.
As a result of working with Kayla, I’m experiencing life quite differently!
I’ve found my voice again, I’m tapping into creativity, and I feel so grounded. I show up and care for myself in a deeper way and I’ve brought a dynamic flow into my life.
Kayla helped me break things down, start taking on projects again, and brainstorm different ways to make money. I hadn’t seen money come into my bank account outside of a paycheck in four years! During our work together, I started teaching paid yoga classes and taking on freelancing work.
One of the biggest things I’m walking away with is the ability to dream and see possibility again! I have a vision now, which is hard to believe. I kept sweeping it under the rug—it felt too hard, too big, too overwhelming, but now, it feels amazing to know where I’m going!
My favorite part of our journey was having Kayla’s support and a regular safe space to explore my soul. I also loved that Kayla stood in the fire with me. There were some gnarly things that came up and rather than give me a bunch of exercises, Kayla sat with me through them. She didn’t let me drop them, either. Actual energetic shifts happened, which hasn’t always been the case for me with other Coaches.
If you’re wanting to hire Kayla, know that her coaching is a soulful journey. She supports her people to go deep. There will be life before working with Kayla and then, life NOW. I felt so frozen and Kayla provided me with the space to thaw out the pieces of me that I was too scared to look at on my own.
If you’re craving a real purposeful and intentional journey, Kayla’s the one.

Before working with Kayla, life and business were boring, controlling, manipulative, and surface-level. While my soul was very much present, there was a lot of ego.
I wanted to work with a Coach because something NEEDED to shift. I wanted vibrancy and abundance. I was looking for someone to tell me what to do and how to do it.
As a result of working with Kayla, I created a whole lot!
I created new Clients—Clients I didn’t have before! I created better relationships with the people around me. Most notably, I cultivated an immense amount of self-worth and sovereignty over how I choose to live my life.
For anyone considering working with Kayla, I would describe her coaching as fierce. She won’t let you hide. She’s accountable and loving and creates a safe space for you to be REAL, seen, heard, and understood.
My favorite part of our adventure was three months in when I decided to get real. I went into this work, looking for answers in regards to my business. When I finally released the need to control and manipulate our time for that purpose, I dropped in so much deeper. I brought what was happening in my life, which was HUGE. I brought my shit and Kayla guided me through it in such a way that I learned how to guide myself. All of those answers I was seeking? They were inside of me!
In the end, what I really needed was someone to help me think about how I wanted to live my life because I wasn’t giving myself permission to do so. After my work with Kayla, I do!

Before working with Kayla, time was scarce and business felt scattered. Between two jobs, being a full-time student, and having a business, I never felt like there were enough hours in the day to get done what I wanted to get done. My business lacked cohesion and a vision for the future because I wasn’t sure what I wanted.
While working with Kayla, I’ve created a vision for what I want my life to look like and concrete steps to get there. I’ve developed a strong sense of self by understanding my essence, my shadows, and what makes me, me. I’ve also learned that there are certain strategies and ways of thinking that are ingrained in me.
Three months in and I’m clear on what I want out of my life and career, I feel much more confident in myself, and I can catch when I fall into old strategies and ways of thinking, so as to shift them and create different experiences that I actually want to have.
My biggest accomplishment thus far has been creating TIME FREEDOM. Kayla helped me see that I was investing time in things I didn’t want to do, nor were aligned with where I wanted to go. As a result, I left a job that freed up 25+ hours a week. Now, I have more time for me AND the life I want.
What I love most about working with Kayla is how safe our space is and how I supported I feel throughout the entire process {even when I get called out for not doing what I said I would OR falling into a cognitive trap/distortion}. Kayla’s coaching is transformative, meaning—if you put in the work, you will get a result you appreciate and approve of. The journey can be really hard because you’re going to have tough conversations and come across rough realizations about yourself and how you’ve been operating your entire life, but ultimately, the process is so enlightening.

Before working with Kayla, life and business were confusing. Being a 20-something-year-old part-time business owner, it was difficult to manage my time and try to find my way while working a regular job. I also wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to take my business in and it felt like a lot to navigate on my own.
While working with Kayla, I learned how to embrace the leader within and how to take charge in my business. I uncovered the essence of who I am, which has created a strong foundation for how I treat my business and myself. I feel like I can use this awareness to become really successful.
As a result of working with Kayla, I now stand in my own clarity, power, and boundaries. I’ve gained a lot more confidence and I’ve become aware of my self-worth, which has led me to significantly raise my prices. I’m achieving my dream of having a magazine and my business has become more profitable. I’m more visible and in demand, which has expanded my Client list to the point of looking at creating a waiting list.
A lot of coaches I come across just want to make money, but Kayla just wants to help. She’s loving, understanding, accepting, and doesn’t judge. Four months in and I feel a change within myself. I look back at how anxious I was and even though it’s not all gone, it’s not as prominent, which is really nice 🙂

Before working with Kayla, I was in transition from working all the time to taking control of my future. I quit my jobs, I started a business, and I was trying to get it up and running. While I was pretty successful in the beginning, I plateaued to a point where nothing was happening. Financially, my husband and I were struggling to make ends meet.
I knew I needed to hire a coach and after interviewing quite a few, something in my gut said Kayla was the one. She left me wanting more and I really felt like she was in it for service.
There’s also the fact that she helped me make money before I even paid her a dime. On our very first call in April, I told her I needed $10K to move and she challenged me to create it. When we checked in a month later, I realized I had manifested $11K! I couldn’t believe it.
A month and a half after our first meeting, I moved into my dream home, which I never thought would happen so quickly. After that, I knew I had to work with her. I thought: If she’s making me feel this now and helping me so much now, I can only imagine what it will be like to work together full-time.
While we’ve only officially been working together for two months, I’ve created and shifted so much already!
Since our first session in October, I’ve had potential Clients signing up for calls, which wasn’t happening before. Six weeks in, I signed an $1800 Client!
The biggest internal shift I’ve made has been in assertiveness. I was always afraid to be as strong as I am, personality-wise. I tell it like it is, but sometimes I hold back because I’m afraid of the reaction I’ll get. Through our work, I realized that I can be assertive without being bossy, rude, or pushy and so now, I feel like I can get my point across, while being open and honest about who I am.
The biggest external shift I’ve made has been in nailing down my business foundation and implementing structure. I have a process to enroll Clients, I have a process for calls, I have a process for everything now!
Honestly, it’s mind blowing how much has happened since Kayla and I met. The growth, personally and professionally, has been crazy. The speed of how fast my dream life is coming true scares me, AND I’ll take it!

“Before I started working with Kayla I had no idea what I wanted. I had absolutely zero direction. I was able to tell her lots of things I didn’t want (that part was easy), but my “Disneyland”, as she called it, was never something I had thought about. My Disneyland was so far beyond my vision that when I started thinking about it, I became frustrated and extremely disappointed in myself that I was going through life always settling for mediocre results, experiences, relationships, etc.
The transitions I’ve seen in myself since working with Kayla over the past few months in both my personal life and my business have been exponential. A COMPLETE 180.
I’ve pushed myself on a personal level to go out and do things that actually, physically scare me in order to grow and get past fears that have held me back from enjoying life experiences to their fullest. I’ve created meaningful relationships with individuals I never thought would be interested in talking to me on a personal or professional level. I’ve gone from working with clients for free to creating premium level client experience packages that sat in a word document on my laptop just to appease Kayla, to rolling out those packages and not marketing them, to actually landing my first paying client who ASKED for the premium experience. If someone told me I would go from working for free (literally) to getting my very first paying client, who would request a $1700 package, all in a months time, I would have actually laughed at them, but it happened and the paying clients haven’t stopped rolling in since.
I’ve also found this balance in life that is so refreshing. Being a mom, wife, housekeeper, business owner, etc., always provided so much anxiety. I felt I was being pulled in a thousand directions, never able to focus on myself, or any one thing to be truly good at it. I was never able to be truly PRESENT. Kayla helped me dig through this and get to a place where I can be completely present with my daughter and enjoy her when I’m home with her, I can focus on work on the days I have dedicated to work, and I can still get all of the household tasks done without having a complete mental breakdown. All of this while still finding time for me.
I feel like this testimonial is way too long, but it really hasn’t even touched on all of the amazing transformations Kayla has been able to help me create in just a short period of time. I joke that she is the best paid friend I’ve ever had, but in reality it’s the truth. She’s amazing on both the personal and professional level and I could not speak more highly of her ability to help in accomplishing incredible things. I truly believe everyone needs a Kayla in their life, whether you have dreams and aspirations or not… I didn’t think I had any, but I did. They just needed a little TLC to be uncovered. Thank you Kayla for that TLC. You are the BEST!”
