New Beginnings
I’ve been so privileged to work with some amazing people and share in their transformative journeys and adventures. Their stories are inspirational and courageous. Their words are powerful. Why not grab a cup of coffee and read their inspiring stories? Perhaps they’ll give you the push you need to create the new exhilarating life you have been dreaming of.
“As I reflect back on 2023, I can envision many highs, lows, twists and turns. One of those highs comes directly from my experience with life coach Grace Redman. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from a life coaching session nor did I have anything to compare it too. I had some previous therapy sessions about 10 years ago while recovering from substance abuse and a divorce but nothing as of recent. I have known Grace now for about a year and a half, we were introduced via a mutual friend. When we met we were immediately connected. The conversation flowed easily, as if we had known each other for years. We share so many similar life principles and spiritual practices that the initial interaction felt easy and energetic.
I had my first session with Grace back in August, 2023 and I was completely blown away at how gifted and in tune she was with me. She began the session by diving right into some of my answers from the questionnaire she sent over prior to our session. The question about my fears is what sparked the conversations and what turned into a peeling back of so many layers of limiting beliefs I had been telling myself for years. These beliefs she made me write down and over the next couple of days I even added to the list. She asked so many great questions that in turn allowed me to dig deeper, feel the emotions and give them recognition. She talked through these feelings with me so that I could process some of the traumas in my past that were not addressed or healed yet. Her ability to guide me through this very emotional and somewhat scary process is incredible. I felt safe with Grace which allowed me to be vulnerable and access traumas that were repressed and had been blocking me from abundance, motivation, higher vibration energies and ultimately my true potential. She gave me homework to do that I was excited about and each tool she provided me with helped to keep these limiting beliefs away and my energy high. Every session after the first one built upon each other and the building blocks were being created to have a strong confident foundation about my self worth. After only one session with Grace I felt lighter and my energy was through the roof and amazing things started coming my way. I was extremely motivated and creative like I was in the past.
I found that the underlying aspect of my fears was the negative false belief around my self worth. Without Grace’s expertise in being able to recognize what was really keeping me stuck and how to break free of it, I don’t feel I would be having some of the positive opportunities and success that gravitated my way. I feel that Grace has such a special gift to let the session organically go the direction it needs to go simply based upon these initial questions. At the end of the day Grace made it very apparent to me that even though my life had been going well, and I’m a happy person, we all need help from others. We continually can be growing and healing and for that Im grateful to her and I look froward to continuing with her life coaching in the new year and beyond. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking to elevate themselves, their life, their relationships and their growth.” - Tanya L., Personal Trainer | Entrepreneur
“Grace helped me so much with various situations going on in my life. She offered specific tools to help guide me in real-time so that I could change the areas in my life that needed improvement. She has so many different traditional and non-traditional methods for living a life filled with peace, joy and success, from her own guided meditation, to visualization techniques, to communication techniques, and much much more. I felt heard, understood and most of all given actual helpful ways to create the life I desire. Many therapists and life coaches are good listeners but don't provide concrete solutions to use in everyday life. Grace has so many different solutions at her disposal to offer because she's a wealth of knowledge and a true expert on how to live a centered, meaningful life. I'm forever grateful for her.” - Lindsay W.
My session with Grace was very impactful and helpful. She helped me understand and realize certain thought patterns that were deeply embedded and extremely unhelpful in my life. I recommend working as she has the tools, systems and knowledge to uproot self limiting beliefs. ~Denise S., Tech Entreprenuer
I was lucky to have come across Grace and her team. They were very professional and welcoming to be around. I did not know what to expect coming into my first session and in just 60 minutes I was able to receive and comprehend information which allowed me to see myself in a different light. Grace identified the core of what has been holding me back to hit my full potential.
I wish I would have met her sooner. ~Fabian C., Senior Relationship Banker
I had worked with Grace for quite some time. I had been in a very dark place with constant negative mental chatter. It was hard for me to focus on things and live a calm and fabulous life that I always dreamed of. I had heard about Dare to Achieve (Graces’ business), and knew I had to check her out. With the first call I knew I had made the right decision. Not only did I feel her compassion and felt safe, I felt that this would actually work. She put in the work, she helped me change my mindset! She cares, she’s amazing, and she knows what she is doing! It is by no mistake that I met Grace. I encourage all of you to contact Grace and get the direction in order to get the results that I had. I don’t typically write reviews, but felt this was necessary. Thank you Grace for always making me feel same, and sometimes even uncomfortable in order to grow. The difference it has made on my life is outstanding. I can’t thank you enough. ~S.S.
In March of 2020 I didn't foresee what a toll this pandemic would take on my kids. As a mother, I did all I could to keep them active like riding their bikes in the park and playing dance video games. We baked and did arts and crafts activities. I gave my kids journals to reflect on their feelings and worries. I communicated as much as I could to keep an open dialogue about the pandemic and how we were staying safe. As the months passed, I could see my older child, age 9, feeling suffocated. She would stay laser focused in her online classes putting lots of pressure on herself to succeed and started complaining about stomach aches. She had many questions about life outside, had shortness of breath and lost her appetite. She was concerned for my safety every time I went to the grocery store or the office. The commercials on tv triggered her - mostly the ones about medical treatments. Her iPad games and even Facetime with friends added anxiety making her feel agitated and uneasy. As these feelings progressed my worry grew. Finally she hit a wall - she couldn't catch her breath and her spirits were so far down I could see she was on the verge of an anxiety attack. I put her in front of YouTube kid yoga classes and threw her in a bubble bath. I gave her herbal kid calming supplements but nothing worked. I called my life coach Grace Redman and asked if she could take a call with her, even though I knew Grace's work is mostly practiced on adults. We scheduled a zoom call. After a 30 minute Zoom call my daughter took one on one in her bedroom she came out of her room flooding with tears. She thanked me for giving her the time with Grace and kept crying. After what seemed like a good 30 minutes of crying, she released and was at ease. We started a daily practice with the tools that Grace taught her. Within a week, I noticed she became positive again, less stressed, gained her appetite back, and her worries lessened. Two weeks later I told her that I made another appointment for her and Grace. She said she didn't need it and felt fine. I can't explain how happy and relieved this made me feel. My whole family is grateful for the workings of Grace and how her expertise lifted our child out of her pandemic anguish. If you notice your child is going through a tough time don't dismiss it. The daily practices Grace taught us carries us through this challenging time and my whole family has benefitted. I am forever grateful for how Grace helped my daughter. ~S.J.
When I went to see Grace I was troubled but could not quite put my finger on it. I committed to 8 sessions and it was the Best Decision. My thought style changed. Simply put, our thought styles can be hazardous to our health. Grace put me on such an uplifting track and the work we did was Incredible, thanks again Grace. ~R.C.
I've been working with Grace now for a while and I feel so motivated and uplifted. Self worth, self love and power to heal are things I have been struggling with and my results have been amazing. In today's busy life, the stresses and struggles are difficult and Grace has been so wonderful! ~GSG.G.
Grace helped transform my life on so many levels! I owe her so much gratitude for getting me unstuck. She helped me move past my blocks, and taught me a new level of understanding around life and my perceived problems which have helped to propel me forward. My life has transformed significantly in many ways since I started working with her. Her intuition and skill set make her beyond great. I can't recommend her enough! ~A.A.
Grace creates a warm and inviting space free of judgement, where it's safe to fully, authentically be you. She gently challenges me to think deeper about dysfunctional patterns holding me back, while also providing compassion and support along the way. Grace is generous with sharing resources that can further support the new learning and growth I am doing. I appreciate the new ways to view and navigate the difficulties in my life. Without a doubt, Grace lightens the load of the often arduous journey that comes with being human. Anytime I work with Grace, I feel more hopeful. ~K.N.
Grace is an absolute genius! Through her coaching, I have been able to calm many of my worries and anxieties. Her sessions have helped me eliminate mental blocks to boost my productivity at work and school. Grace has worked with me to learn how to feel more happy and calm in my every day life, and as a result, this has brought my partner and I closer together. It takes some hard work, but it’s completely worth every minute! She has helped me become a better version of myself. Thank you Grace! ~ H.O.
Trustworthy, professional, compassionate and brilliant are just a few words I'd use to describe Grace on just my experiences with her as a coach. Extremely knowledgeable, not only literally, but also from her unique life experiences. She is such an amazing woman whose immense love for her work and desire to help, as well as empower people, is totally evident. With her soft, caring voice, she has guided me and played a pivotal role in the unbelievable growth I've experienced. In a short time she's helped me achieve and accomplish more than the many therapists throughout the years have. I can't contain my emotions, nor can I find the words to express how grateful I am. She’s truly changed my view and approach towards my past, present, future, loved ones, career and life in general. I anxiously look forward to future sessions with you as the true gifts that they are! ~ J.D.
I have been working with Grace for 10 months and within that short period of time, my outlook on life has dramatically changed. I started with the simple practice of voicing my goals, gratitude and intentions. Over time, I began voicing my gratitude daily and not just to myself, but also to the people around me letting them know that no matter how difficult things are there was always something to be grateful for. Fast-forward to the present day, it is truly amazing the chain reaction that happens when a simple exercise starts, the people in my life soon started to voice their gratitude and were truly thankful for the people and blessings in their lives. There is always work to be done, and I will always be grateful for every single day that is given to us.
Thanks to Grace’s sessions and all the help she provided, I have become more efficient at letting go of my anxiety and past emotional issues. My depression episodes have become shorter and less frequent. I am able to keep a positive outlook on my every day life.
These changes have ultimately made my life and the life of my loved ones happier and fuller. I am truly blessed to have Grace in my life, to coach me through rough times and teach me how to truly appreciate every single moment. ~ A.A.
Grace has been an incredible coach to work with. She has a calm loving demeanor about her. I felt like I was talking to a supportive friend who cared deeply about me. Grace has helped me overcome some tough obstacles in my life and obtain inner peace along with career direction. Working with her made me learn how to stop being the victim and the power of self discovery! I've taken control of my life again, achieved self-esteem, health and happiness. She really listens and understands where you are in life. Grace is beautiful, strong, confident and smart!! I look forward to working with her each and every time. ~ N.T.
As a working mother of two little girls, finding balance and taking time out for myself is an ongoing challenge. Working with Grace is an enlightening experience. Her calm presence, intuitive skills and professionalism, has helped me make better decisions with my life. In the past four months, I have gained tools that have helped me motivate myself to better health – I have found time and balance to make exercise work throughout my week without feeling like a burden, career advancement – I recently accepted a great job that allows me to work in my profession while gaining flexibility to tend to my children’s schedule, increase my self esteem – I take more pride in myself and have noticed that others are reacting positively to it. Finally, Grace works with me to gain stronger relationships with people I love.
Working with Grace is an ongoing gift for myself. I am grateful for her time and expertise. ~ S.J.
I’ve been struggling with my weight for years. I would jump on the latest fad diet and yes, I would lose some weight for a short time, but I couldn’t keep the motivation to keep going and would end up gaining it all back and sometimes more than before I started. I felt frustrated and defeated. I’ve always heard of hypnosis but never researched it, until recently. Now after being overweight for years, I’ve finally lost weight! 20lbs to be exact and I’m still working on losing more! What’s even more exciting, I’m keeping it off! Grace has helped me tremendously to get to the root of my overeating and lack of motivation. I’m finally more consistent and dedicated to getting healthy and it feels great. If you’re on the fence about hypnosis for weight loss, take the leap! It’s so worth it. If you’re worried about the financial aspect, just think of how much money you’ve spent on going out to dinner, junk food, etc. You’ll love yourself for using that money towards this and you’ll be so much happier! I know I am. ~ J.G.
