Life Coaching for Parents

I'm a big fan of Torie's work.  I really appreciate her process.  It's essentially the same each time you meet with her and she teaches you how to use it to ultimately coach yourself.  You leave each call with a piece of "homework" to practice the following week.  Beyond the process of life coaching, Torie specifically is incredibly strong, smart and compassionate.  I've never felt judged or pitied by her but instead fueled by her compassion and belief that we can all experience more joy.  She offers clarity and I walk away feeling more calm and at ease.  I've also benefitted from her group coaching work and I'm a big fan of her podcast where she offers a parent educator and life coach perspective.  She's just really good at providing structure, compassion and being real.  I'm also impressed with how science based her work is.

Torie is an incredible sounding board, mentor and teacher. I originally reached out to Torie because I was feeling overly anxious, burdened with guilt about not being a good enough parent, employee, wife, daughter, friend... I honestly wasn't sure what I wanted to get out of the experience but I knew that I needed someone who would really listen to me and would help guide me through this challenging time in my life. I had tried to go it alone for so many years but I would fall back into the same slumps and spirals. I was bored of the pattern and to be honest, the stress I was putting on myself to be perfect was impacting my health. On the eve of my birthday, I decided to give myself the gift of a Life Coach and I stumbled on Torie upon recommendation from a friend. Rather than going out and buying myself a new purse or fabulous dress, I decided it was time to start digging in on taking care of myself for real. Torie helped me figure out what truly makes me tick, what I am good at and how to look for my life's purpose. The path I am contemplating taking, after my weekly sessions with Torie for only 6 months, is one I wouldn't have predicted a year ago. I think I wanted someone to make me feel better and make all my worries go away. Of course that isn't what happened! Even better, Torie helped me by giving me tools and strategies to use in various situations and I find myself using them on a daily basis. I am less likely to fly off the handle, I am overall more thoughtful and deliberate in my actions and reactions, and I am more likely to take risks and forgive myself for mistakes along the way. I am now leading by example and I've noticed positive changes in the way my two young sons and my husband operate in the world as well. Where there was conflict, there is now curiosity, forgiveness and tons of growth. If you feel like you need a push to get yourself to the next level, if you feel overwhelmed by all the noise of work and parenting life and want to cut through it all to experience a more fulfilled existence, you should go for it and reach out to Torie.  She will help you transform your life in ways you can't even imagine. I feel as though I've only scratched the surface of learning to see the world through a different lense and I'm excited about the challenges that lie ahead. With Torie's guidance, I feel energized, confident and curious rather than deflated, scared and burdened. I have a long way to go to achieve my goals, but I feel as though I have the tools to make positive steps whereas before I was spinning off course and barely treading water. From the bottom of my heart -  Thank You Torie!!

I was very fortunate to find Torie during a difficult transition in my life. Torie is honest, intuitive and caring. Her thought-provoking approach helped me identify old patterns that were keeping me from fulfilling my dreams. Torie has an amazing ability to ask insightful questions that help you look deeply into what is holding you back and aide you in moving past your fears. I was able to overcome road blocks and embrace my true talents and gifts to begin a new career.  Working with Torie was truly transformational. She is a positive force and she was able to help me navigate through obstacles with strength and courage. I would highly recommend working with Torie.

Torie is amazing.  We've done her time for the talk and girls leadership camps.  She has a wonderful way of making tricky subjects comfortable for everyone.  She instills confidence and positivity into tweets & teens during a man especially difficult time in their lives.  I'd recommend to anyone with kids!

Going from stay-at-home mom to owning a business -a restaurant no less, I was losing control of everything. At my worst possible rock bottom I found Torie. I've heard great things from other moms in our community but was skeptical since of course my situation was uniquely more tough than most ;)I called her. She immediately could tell I was in trouble and took me on right there over the phone. She was born for this. Her voice is trusting, accepting and soothing. I unloaded a lot on her. She listened, then took a deep breath, took a second to compose, then with a smile I could hear through the phone put me back together piece by piece. Torie is of our community and knows our immediate struggles. She has the training as well and can teach how to approach life, how to see things in new ways offering a 360 view of what's really going on. Sometimes we are too deep in the forest to see the trees. Torie showed me how to perceive my life and how to use what I already have. She acknowledged in me strengths I didn't know I had or wouldn't have acknowledge myself.  I think all moms do so much and rarely bother to take credit for or reward ourselves -even just to acknowledge our amazing efforts! Again, I think I had industrial strength issues going back from childhood to current major family drama. She's someone I look up to and admire with the authority to advise with incredible depth and care! I cannot recommend this woman enough! Do not go it alone, get strong with Torie!
