"Thank you Teresa, I got my raise and promotion. Your support, tools and encouragement were key for this!"
"Teresa nailed it.. She makes me want to say I got it done..I don’t know how I’d do it without Teresa. I've had the most productive week I’ve had in so long, I'm sleeping better, feeling more relaxed for the weekend, I want to keep moving forward, I have momentum. Thank You Teresa!" ~ E.
"I think that I have become more confident since beginning coaching. I have also been treating myself better and prioritizing my own needs more than I ever have.
The best thing about coaching has been that I was able to benefit from it during such a crazy time, both in the world and in my own life. I’m not sure how I would’ve handled everything without coaching, but definitely not as well as I did.
My biggest surprise during coaching was that as time went on, I found myself getting less upset with losses and challenges that arose. I think this was largely due to all of the coping mechanisms and thought processes I developed about loss throughout the coaching process." ~ C.T.
“Thank you for providing hope and clarity.”, “Your coaching is motivating to me and helps with my job search.”, New insights into my anxiety and how it impacts me in stressful situations – I am better able to deal with this now, Thank you.” ~ anonymous clients
"Teresa's coaching has helped me in so many ways. The best thing about coaching has been restoring my sense of self and confidence I am better able to cope with my life. I have discovered that self-care is vitally important to me as a woman with autoimmune issues. I have taken massive steps to putting myself first in my life and I appreciate Teresa’s kindness and willingness to just listen, to allow me to meander through things. This willingness helped me to make sense of some serious issues in my life and move forward.I can set boundaries without letting others down. Boundaries are healthy and my setting them is making me a healthier and happier person." ~ Deanna G.
Teresa Bitner has been an invaluable, long-overdue resource for me. Finding myself feeling trapped in an unsatisfying career, I approached Teresa to assist me with primarily trying to narrow down what career path I should be focusing on, based on my particular skill set, interests and values. We talked about my immediate vs longer-term career goals, and how to accomplish those goals. Teresa provided a TON of resources for me to go through, as well as all sorts of ideas that I wouldn't have thought of in regard to ways to expand my network. She then rounded it all out with some interesting information about how my personality type relates to career paths that might be of interest. I will most definitely recommend Teresa to anyone looking for career change assistance." - Bryan
"My husband died before Christmas and I was devastated. I feel fairly competent and self-reliant, but his loss was almost unbearable at first. I was fortunate because my brother recommended that I work with Teresa, albeit at a distance and by phone in our case. When he suggested it, I really didn’t want to, but I knew full well that it was a good idea and that I’d need help dealing with my grieving process. It was comforting to share our stories and to talk to someone who listened and then offered support and loads of resources. It was when Teresa told me she could hear in my voice and my words how I was progressing, beginning to move forward, that I started to believe it. I felt supported and loved and never pressured or judged. I would recommend coaching to anyone who’s suffered a loss. Who would have thought that the loss of my husband could become such an opportunity for personal growth? I’m so very grateful to Teresa: she genuinely cares. "

"Teresa is a person who wants the best for you. She listens with an empathetic ear. She does not judge. She offers support as she gently pushes you past your comfort level. She is knowledgeable of many resources to help you. She helped me set personal goals and checked in with me regularly to be sure I had what I needed to meet my goals. My future is clearer and I am happier because of my time spent with Teresa." - Brenda
"Working with Teresa as my life coach has been a real blessing to me. My experience helped me set personal goals and develop plans to reach those goals. Most importantly Teresa held me accountable and taught me to evolve my plans to overcome unforeseen circumstances.
Teresa began by coaching me with the basics, such as organizing my home and office. Later we advanced to creating long term personal and professional goals. Teresa was professional and supportive. She worked to uncover those things which I was most passionate about and incorporated them into my plans. Our regular meetings became a staple in my life, but Teresa went out of her way to check-in and ensure that I was sticking to my plan.
It's amazing to look back on the process. In retrospect so many of our steps seemed straightforward, but Teresa's coaching helped me stick with it. My life change was dramatic. Now, I am more organized, more driven, and happier. I am super grateful to Teresa and she come highly recommended as a life coach." - Chris
“Teresa helped quickly focus me, so I could be living the life that fits me. Teresa is a wealth of knowledge and knows just what questions to ask. I won’t say the process is easy, but it is effective! For anyone willing to do some work, Teresa will definitely help you find your path!” - Bruce
"Dear Teresa
It’s my pleasure recommend you for life coaching! I received the benefit of your life coaching skills in just the first meeting, gaining support and new perspectives that empowered me to make some key relationship changes, establish and set new boundaries that ultimately opened up the doors for measurable progress. Without going into detail about my issues and my success objectives, I felt immediately comfortable with you. Your personal caring demeanor allowed me to be myself and open up. Teresa, you have a gift for combining empathy and outside of the box feedback.
I appreciated the fact that we actually worked together knowing that I had an authentic support system and partner in my corner.
I highly recommend you and your life coaching services to anyone seriously invested in making changes in their life. For me, a life coach was one of my best investments, because for a change it was an investment in myself, which in turn is the best gift I can give to those around me." - Richard
"My coaching experience with Teresa was timely and powerful. She is a caring, active listener who knows just when to ask the right question or suggest an alternative perspective or interpretation. Teresa also provided detailed notes and recommendations for future learning after every session, which I found super helpful in keeping me on track. I'm walking away from our time feeling inspired and ready to take on new challenges!" - Tara
To tell you how much Teresa has meant to my journey in life would take much more than just a few lines. She has been instrumental in assisting me to create the boundaries that I needed in my daily life and the courage that was needed to move away from an unhealthy career choice and to begin seeking a much happier path in my life. I would suggest to anyone considering using a life coach to do so---but I would also encourage them to use someone like Teresa who truly works in the best interests of her clients. - Jeni
"Brilliant Coach, Teresa is an excellent personal coach who focuses on what is best for her clients. She listens fully to you and then assists you in uncovering your life's goals. She was essential to me in developing personal boundaries and learning to say no when needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance in their lives." - J. E.
