Health &Wellness Coaching

Penny’s counseling enabled me to conquer a daunting first year of law school. It began with Penny’s ability to actively listen. This allowed her to understand the lofty goals I’d set for myself. Penny followed this up by asking thoughtful, insightful questions to isolate what I viewed as obstacles to achieving my goals. After understanding my goals and what stood in their way, Penny worked with me to devise practicable, actionable strategies to overcome these obstacles and reach my goals. Penny’s constant encouragement held me to account without any semblance of judgment while I worked through the inevitable bumps in the road along the path to success. I’m proud to say that Penny’s counseling led me to a coveted spot on my school’s Law Review and a ranking in the top ten percent of my class.

Penny helped me conquer some challenges during the first few months of the pandemic. We started with some assessments which enabled her to hone in on my obstacles. Then we spoke weekly or should I say, I spoke and Penny listened. Penny has mastered the art of listening. You KNOW you are being heard because she asks questions to clarify ensuring she totally understands and then gives the appropriate cue to lead you towards solutions. Her suggestions were helpful, easy to put to use, often tweaked after identifying what works and what doesn’t. I’m proud that I have maintained my achievements and credit Penny with leading me.

"Penny's soothing nature and exceptional listening skills were the perfect counter to my rambling, uncentered and uncertain pathway I was traveling on. I had just had a major life upheaval and was starting anew. Penny listened, asked some key thought-provoking questions in each of our sessions and I found myself constructing goals for how I wanted my new future to look. I can honestly say she has exceeded my expectations as my coach. We quickly developed a level of trust, she walked alongside me as I discovered that I was the only one accountable for my goals. She was amenable to my needs and had my best interest at heart. Penny has guided me in my journey to thrive again as a successful professional in the health and wellness space."

"Penny is an active listener who analyzed my goals very capably and translated them into an achievable step-by-step process. She is extremely professional in her approach to goal-setting.  Her insightful questions and observations helped me stay focused on the desired outcome despite any missteps or setbacks.   As a health and wellness counselor, her concern and feedback provided a framework of support that kept me feeling positive and motivated as I progressed."
