Testimonials

Working with Ariella has been a joy! She helped me sift through my life to disentangle myself from my negative stories that were keeping me in a “stuck” place. She is warm and inviting, with an energy that ignites a creative fire. Her simple exercises opened my mind to new possibilities that were more than just “happy ideas.” Ariella is a motivational powerhouse and I am so thankful for my time with her.

I was stuck and wanted to move forward by getting a new job and letting go of relationships that didn’t work for me any longer.  Ariella has helped me change how I approach my life.  I have past experience with therapists but I knew that I didn’t need to talk about my past, I needed action items to break through barriers or patterns that I had set for my life.  I feel more empowered and better able to handle disappointment without fear.  I am grateful for her help.

When I was referred to Ariella, I wasn’t looking to accomplish one particular goal (for example, I was not looking for a new career, a particular type of relationship, an understanding of what I wanted to do with my life or wanting to drum up some major life changing event to rock my world), but I was looking more for a way to get out of my “rut”. I wanted to understand how to fill that empty hole of what sometimes felt like an unfulfilled and unmotivated life – and to answer that question “who am I – how did I get here – where am I going?” – I honestly had no idea. My issue has always been feeling stuck, right back into my bad habits and the dredging through the day-to-day after the excitement of something new died off. I didn’t know it at the time, but now see I was really looking for a new way of thinking, to understand my personal gifts and talents and learn to appreciate who I really am – that’s what makes life authentic and fulfilling – then everything else kind of falls into place. Ariella really listened to what I was asking (even though I didn’t know what I really needed) and she guided me through several processes to get to this understanding.

Ariella is welcoming, sincere, inspiring – and asked me enough tough questions to put me in that really uncomfortable, but accepting, place where I could see my potential and move forward – and gave me a place to fall back on when I felt the “rut” coming back. She is really quite amazing. Showed me that when we learn to live in our essence (whatever that may be – and it takes some work to figure that out), it is really a wonderful place to be.

As a conscious “thinker” about my life and its direction, I was skeptical of bringing a life coach into my life. But after making some big life changes, I realized that my same way of thinking wasn’t going to propel those changes in the right direction. Ariella wound up being the best thing to happen me at such a crucial time. She helped me shift my perspective and open my eyes to a different consciousness. Ariella is one of the most intuitive and insightful people I’ve ever met, and those life changes now have more purpose and I cannot be more grateful!

Thank you so much for the coaching session yesterday! I really appreciate your insight and basically holding up a mirror and questioning or revealing what I was communicating.

Ariella Shuster has worked with me for the last 3 months in a coach capacity. I felt it was necessary to seek the help of a coach due to difficult life changes I have recently been experiencing.

I have found Ariella’s work with me to be very beneficial.  She is very intelligent and asks questions of me that really explore my emotions, thoughts and feelings and really makes me think about who I am, what I believe in, and who I want to be.  I have found our discussions to be worthwhile and thought provoking and she is not afraid to take on difficult topics.  I have found her exercises to be worthwhile and interesting and it has been fairly eye opening for me to talk about these issues as I have never really done this kind of thing before.  However I have never felt uncomfortable as she has a way to put people at ease and make them feel relaxed and ready to take on serious life changing issues and we always find time for laughter and some light-hearted conversation, which is always pleasant.
I have no hesitation in recommending Ariella. She has shown me to be well qualified and very competent.
Yours Sincerely,
Richard Farnham
