Read What Lesli’s Clients Have to Say

“I appreciate her straightforward approach….

Lesli’s insight and direction has been very helpful to keep my marriage on course.  I appreciate her straightforward approach.

~ Rachelle L , Nov 2015

“Lesli has taught us how to communicate more effectively….

Before we came to Lesli, the threat of separation was becoming very close to happening. We had frequent arguments, often in front of our young children. There were trust issues, unresolved conflicts from the past we couldn’t work through, and a lack of understanding of what the other was trying to say. As we continued to create distance from each other, we were seriously questioning whether the marriage was still worth working on.

Through her coaching, Lesli has taught us how to communicate more effectively. There are fewer arguments and we routinely take time out for each other to listen and respond to our feelings more productively. We have gained a set of tools to use to support each other and work as a team in our marriage.

“We are indebted to Lesli for providing unexpected light during a terminally dark time…..

When we reached out to Lesli, our marriage was at rock bottom. Unless we learned to communicate effectively, our marriage would not survive, and several roadblocks threatened any progress.

Lesli first provided a safe setting in which to have powerful and difficult discussions. She did this with empathy, concern and compassion. She asked thoughtful questions, encouraging us to explore the underlying issues for us individually and as a couple

By providing personal and professional anecdotes, Lesli was able to give us the tools we needed to talk to one another and to do so positively and with renewed commitment. We are indebted to Lesli for providing unexpected light during a terminally dark time.

“Her no-nonsense ideas get me thinking….
