Testimonials and Appreciations

 
Before we started the coaching together, I already knew that Anna would be the right fit for what I needed at that stage in my career...She had gone through similar experiences in a soft-money environment that is unyielding and unkind to those who already have no work-life balance. In the beginning, it was like baby steps to build my confidence and to reveal what my superpowers were. I also had no idea that I didn’t trust in my own instincts and rhythms - Anna helped me embrace who I really am and that I didn’t have to fit into those boxes that are so neat and predictable. I feel that through her skilled coaching and unwavering empathy and compassion for the obstacles that keep coming up, I can pick myself back up and push through those roadblocks in life. You are a warm, encouraging, and inspiring piece of heaven, Anna!

The coaching experience is opening up a new world to me. The risk of exploring this with Anna is showing promising results already. It is amazing what coaching can do to prioritize the things that matter most!! It is so scary and wonderful all at the same time!!!

I love Anna’s imaginative approach to coaching. She got to the deeper issue with which I’m struggling almost immediately - I think even before I did! If you’re open, curious, and willing to explore and play, Anna is the coach for you!

Anna helped me to develop tools that I utilize in my everyday life. Through visualization processes, coupled with kinetic activities, I now have easily accessible methods to bring myself to now, to the present, to the very moment I am in. This practice has made me less anxious and more hopeful for the future. I recommend her as a coach who is a kind, humorous and perceptive human being.

I reached out to Anna for help when I was applying to grad schools. I had to write personal statements for the programs I was applying to that needed to be specific and personal, and had to highlight my motivation behind applying. Before working with Anna, I struggled to articulate these motivations and succinctly describe my journey. Anna helped me to dig deeper and find my reason. After working with Anna, I was able to create an outline of my reasons and organize my thoughts well enough to put them down on paper. Anna helped me look inward and I’m grateful for her help in discovering myself. Our session made me understand myself better and be more confident in expressing my thoughts.

Anna is born to be a coach. She so naturally and intuitively guides me through whatever tangled thoughts plague me. She weaves together different learnings and bits of inspiration from all kinds of rich sources, always has such a helpful question to draw out of me my next step, and gives me perspective on where I began and where I am in my journey, reminding me of breakthroughs I’ve had and evoking in me the next one. I’ve thrown myself fully into my creative life because of an exercise we did together that made it clear as day to me that this is what I want. And as every obstacle and dementor appears, she helps me remember not to run, but to navigate, forward.

I needed an outsider’s view on my capstone project and Anna was more than happy to help. It was a pleasant and worthwhile learning experience, we had a lively session where she patiently coached me and gave me more insight into what I could do to communicate my ideas clearly. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.

“Dr. Adachi-Mejia was one of the most supportive instructors I’ve had the chance to work with. Her methods for writing long essays have proved invaluable time and time again in all aspects of my academic career. Since my background is in science, writing is not my forte but Anna taught me it can be easy.”

— Priya, New Hampshire

"Anna was extremely helpful in assisting me to develop my research proposal for my Public Health Master program.
