Coaching Testimonials

“I tell every leader I know about my experience with Alisha. As much as we try to separate work from home, many of us take our work so personally that it becomes hard to separate the emotional weight it can carry. Working with Alisha has been a breath of fresh air. It’s rare to have a space where you can speak openly, think things through, and be met with both compassion and clarity. She brings no hidden agenda, just a genuine commitment to helping leaders grow, reflect, and lead with intention.” Sara, Director

“I initially reached out to Alisha because I was navigating a difficult situation with a toxic manager that was negatively affecting my professional life and personal wellbeing. I realized I needed support beyond what friends, family, or my coworkers—who were also impacted—could provide. Alisha offered invaluable guidance in helping me process the experience, strategize effectively, and regain confidence in my expertise and leadership. Through our work together, I was able to achieve professional advancement despite significant barriers, successfully advocate for a transition to a different manager, and ultimately help my team rebuild and reshape our trajectory.” -Anonymous, Nurse Practitioner

“Although initially seeking short-term work-related coaching, the direction of sessions quickly took a deeper turn towards applying buddhist psychological techniques across a range of issues related to career, relationships, artistic aspirations, and personal goals. Over the course of receiving coaching with Alisha, I developed a much deeper trust in my own intuitive wisdom about my experience and my life, and more able to extract internal neurosis and external structures inhibiting me from moving with ease through a range of personal and professional challenges. I experienced a dropping away of anxiety, anger, and sadness as I developed (via themes of buddhist psychology) ways of decoupling from patterns that cause suffering, and aligning with practices that foster insight and action.” -Kari Wolfe, PhD

“What surprised me most about coaching was how much it helped. I’d been in the workforce for 20 years, but I didn’t start working with a coach until year 17. Nothing else in that time shaped my leadership more profoundly than working with Alisha. Even though I’ve had incredible mentors and colleagues, our conversations were usually focused on the work itself—projects, outcomes, advancement, or organizational goals—rather than stepping back to explore what I actually need to be most effective, balanced, and fulfilled as a team member and leader.” -Nurse Practitioner, Innovation leader

“I loved how Alisha used a combination of techniques to best meet my needs. She introduced me to a lot of Buddhist ways of thinking, which were life changing. I am much better at setting boundaries, and I use many of the ADHD hacks/tips on a daily basis in my work and personal life.” -Angie S.
