Marci showed me how to break down my goals into smaller steps and routines that were actually achievable and not so overwhelming. The tools she shared can be used even after finishing sessions with her. Very kind and supportive and able to share a new perspective on whatever areas you decide to focus on.

Before working with Marci, I was struggling with feeling stuck in the grief cycle in a fixed mindset. While working with Marci I was able to focus on the things I can control in the present and explore/set goals for the future with the accountability to stay motivated. Thanks to what I have learned, I am not longer stuck in my thought patterns, have rediscovered my growth mindset, have found healthier ways to manage stress, and have a renewed sense of hope.

This might be a little long. When I first met with Marci I was afraid it was going to be one of those things where they give you a bunch of homework but nothing really good happens. I have tried stuff like this before and it wasn’t effective. In the beginning I despised the structure of our meetings. It grew to become a backbone in my personal development. I wanted to work on my overall health. That means mental physical and emotional. Leaving out the details of my own walk in life I can tell you that I was shocked to be able to have addressed all three. And I have recently done small things for myself that I never would’ve done before . I am now exercising, doing Bible studies, and adventurous things that I lacked the confidence to do. Overall it was a great experience. If you think you need help you’re probably right. Spend your money trying to do something amazing for yourself. Marci was a terrific partner to go through this experience with. I think I will continue to work with her in the future to make sure everything sticks. I was great for me and I wish you the best in your own walk.

Marci has truly made a positive impact on my life. This was the first time I sought any help, other than friends and family, and I was terrified. She put me totally at ease and made the process so smooth and comforting. While I continue to be a work in progress, and truly who isn't, she guided me in creating the goals that had the highest priority and has given me the tools to refine and do the work to address them. She taught me that I do have the confidence to do the hard things. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Marci and I will definitely work with her again in the future to fine tune my processes.

Marci is AMAZING! This was, without question, one of the most fulfilling, perspective changing experiences I've ever had. Marci took all my insecurities and helped me find positives. She has such a way of making you feel at ease in a non-judgment zone. She pushed me toward self-acceptance and a deeper level of self-reflection. I signed up with an attitude of "I need to change." Marci helped me come around to "I need to accept who I am and embrace what I have to offer." She LITERALLY changed my life by helping me turn my negative self-talk to positive. I wish all my friends could go through this process with Marci. She has a gift and I'm so grateful to have experienced it.

"I have recently had the pleasure of partnering with Marci to distinguish the areas in my life which I wanted to improve. This experience was life-changing to say the least. Through a transition time in my life, I felt unmotivated, stagnant and incapable of certain task completion. With Marci, I was able to evaluate my needs, gain new perspectives, and create a strategic plan to successfully begin a new journey. With her positive approach, affirming qualities and intuitiveness, Marci helped me recharge and empower myself. This awakening allowed me to begin to cultivate my dreams. Seeing my accomplishments over the last several months has enabled me to feel unstoppable. It was apparent, the only thing standing in the way of me was myself. I will always be thankful for my time with Marci and the amount of information I learned about myself, goal setting and my desires for personal growth."

"I loved all my time spent with Marci. She was able to put my life into perspective. Together, we were able to goal set while we unravelled my wants, needs and desires. She helped me with my finances, career choices and in my personal relationships. I will be forever grateful for her help."

"I worked with Marci to understand, evaluate and refocus my career and personal aspirations through our Life Coaching sessions. My time with Marci was extremely valuable. We worked through a current evaluation of my personal and professional life and Marci was able to help me identify a whole new business opportunity. Not only did she help me identify this area of focus but gave me the tools, accountability and advice to move forward with it quickly. Marci has even left me with ideas, plans and advice as I move forward after our sessions. I would highly recommend working with Marci if there is a goal you are looking to achieve or if you are just re-evaluating the personal and/or professional areas of your life."

"I'm so thankful for the time I spent working with Marci. She helped me so much in setting and achieving my professional goals while genuinely caring about my personal goals as well.

Her empathetic nature and goal-oriented coaching was just what I needed to get my business off the ground. Choosing to work with Marci is the easiest decision you could make!"

"Marci is my long time friend and mentor so when I found out she was becoming a Life Coach I jumped at the opportunity to utilize her services. So glad I did! She guided me to form ideas and set small goals in order to achieve the things I am wanting in my life right now. She also helped me shift my focus to a more positive mindset as I can be my own worst critic. I highly recommend and look forward to working with her again down the line!"
Chelsea G.
Office Coordinator
Springfield, MO
"I was recently blessed to be able to work with Marci! Through life and job changes, the big picture of life became somewhat overwhelming. And admittedly, I can often be my own worst critic. In working with Marci, I was able to learn and gain tools on how to compartmentalize life in a positive way. Take a step back and take one thing at a time, whether it be relationships, jobs, or finances. Every step forward taken, no matter how big or small, is a win and something to be celebrated. Marci helped me to understand and accept that! It truly was a wonderful experience and would never hesitate to recommend Marci’s services! Will take this experience with me always!"

"Working with Marci was like working with a friend. I didn't want our conversations to end, and I always felt better after we talked. She helped me discover things about myself and solutions to problems that I couldn't have without her help. She is not only amazing at her job but an amazing person as well!"
