I came to coaching with a very heavy heart about a relationship I struggle with. I have developed strategies and tools that have supported me in communicating and setting boundaries when needed. I can see my way through healing this relationship that I absolutely did NOT see before working with my BALM coach- Margaret. My responses are different, and I am so much better for it! I highly recommend this coaching process!!

Margaret’s gentle coaching led me to discover my own best solutions. She tapped into my strengths and suggested new ways to be of help to myself and my loved ones. One of the takeaways I try to practice daily is that everyone knows themselves best. We can support each other best by accepting where each of us is in this moment, by loving fully, with steadfast support and nurturing, without seeking change.

Life coaching has helped me address the challenges in my life in a personally transformational way that not only solved the issues I was working on, but to also feel more confident and positive in every situation I face. I believe it is especially effective because it helps you find the answers within yourself; it is not someone else telling you what to do. Margaret is wonderful at using her personal experience, training and education, and strong desire to connect and help to bring about effective and beneficial results.

I've always faced challenges with my relationships with other people. I tend to mirror their emotions and behaviors as though I don't have my own thoughts or control over my actions. As I reached more awareness in adulthood, I recognized how this was influencing my everyday life. Margaret has a unique way of coaching that helped me realize my potential in my own thoughts and actions. In fact, oftentimes I don't realize she's coaching me at all; it's like talking to a lifelong friend. Her calm persona, gentle approach to any situation presented to her, and her well-rounded knowledge of the BALM have guided me in relationships not only with others but also with myself. I deeply recommend this approach to those who are facing hardships in their life, as it gave me the opportunity to shine the light back on me. Margaret helped me find that path.

My coaching experience has been positive as well as successful! I have worked through several issues I have been dealing with for some time. Margaret, as my coach, has helped me navigate through some shifts that I'm not sure I would have accomplished without her guidance. She was patient, kind, and let me work through using my own thought process while guiding me with thought-provoking questions. I can honestly say I would not be where I am today if it were not for her help. She has helped me to realize I can do hard things successfully and can be proud of myself in the process. If you are in a situation and are troubled with how you are going to move forward, I highly recommend coaching with Margaret!

Attending Margaret’s 12 Principles BALM class has been truly transformative for me. After 50 years of marriage, I’ve gained a new, more loving perspective on my husband and our relationship as a whole. The principles and practices opened my eyes in ways I didn’t expect. I especially appreciated the homework between sessions, which deepened my understanding and helped me apply what I was learning in real life. Hearing Margaret share her own experiences with addiction in her family made everything so relatable and meaningful. Her authenticity, wisdom, and compassion brought the principles to life. This class has been a gift to me and to my marriage.

When I first considered Margaret’s BALM: Be A Loving Mirror 12 Principles course, I was filled with hesitation, worried about sharing my child's substance abuse with others. But from the moment the first session began, all my fears disappeared. Margaret's teaching style and the curriculum created an incredibly safe and trusting space. She has this unique ability to guide you toward healing in a way that feels gentle yet profoundly effective. I can honestly say I began to heal on that very first day. The transformation I've experienced since then has been nothing short of life-changing because Margaret helped me develop a road map to recovery. If you're looking for a coach who can create a space for true healing and growth, Margaret is the one.
