I have had the pleasure of being coached by Annalise, as well as having her as a teacher/mentor on my journey to become a health and wellness coach. She is an incredible coach and honors the integrity of the practice and art of coaching. I have learned so much as a coach from Annalise and have grown personally in my life when being coached by Annalise. I have had the privilege of experiencing body centered coaching with Annalise. She had guided me to increase awareness within my body and this approach allowed me to have a greater depth of insight, self-awareness and self- acceptance on my own personal life journey. I can still recall a session with Annalise where I felt conflicted and stuck about what decision I would make on my personal journey. She came alongside me as my coach, through body centered coaching I was able to be in tune with my body, emotions and the physical sensations my body was experiencing that helped me come to the decision I needed to make for myself to take the next step forward in my life and get unstuck. I am truly grateful to have been coached by Annalise who is one of the kindest and most genuine coaches I know.

Annalise supported me in so many ways, but one of the most impactful takeaways from Annalise's coaching style was supporting my somatic awareness. She supported me in changing limiting beliefs that I held of myself, which in effect helped me build habits I was initially striving for. She held space for me to feel what I needed to feel, allowed time for me to solve my own mind puzzles, and challenged me to go deeper.

(On group coaching) My takeaway was that not only did I reach my goals, but had an intense increase of self-efficacy in an area that had always been a challenge for me. The atmosphere of acceptance in the group encouraged me to advance much further on my wellness journey than I ever would have imagined. I felt empowered by the interest and support and was able to move forward with my vision. I would highly recommend this experience to my fellow coaches. It made a genuine difference in my life.

(On individual coaching) Annalise Evenson coached me multiple times to address moving beyond my fear and anxiety over public speaking. My fear is deep seeded and after four coaching sessions spread over a few years, I am better able to deal with my feelings. I will share my takeaway from the last session. Annalise asked me what I would like to use as a symbol or resource to help me have the courage and confidence to give a moving and meaningful presentation to my audience. For some reason, I chose a sock to represent my new confidence which I took with me to the presentation and kept in my pocket. It may sound crazy, but I went into the experience with my head held high and a new level of confidence. The speaking engagement was a great success. I know this from the opportunities that came from the impact I made on the audience. I think of my accomplishment as going up a staircase. I am not at the top but I feel that I will get there. Body Centered Coaching helped me more than any other type of coaching. My body had the answers that I could get from traditional coaching.
