What Clients Say
My coaching work has evolved over the years, but has stayed consistent at the core: helping people understand themselves more deeply, get unstuck, reconnect with what matters, and make choices that feel more aligned with the life they want to create.
Before specializing in coaching mothers, I supported clients through career transitions, relationships, health, confidence, self-trust, and major life changes.
Here are a few reflections from clients I’ve had the privilege of coaching over the years.
“I learned to listen to myself”
“My first big breakthrough was realizing that I could and should take time for myself. This included learning how to delegate effectively and learning to say no to other people. Creating time for myself has allowed me the ability to plan my meals and plan exercising. I have learned how to pause before acting in most instances and to think about the choices I am making. I have also learned to forgive myself, a skill that I was lacking. I have learned to listen to myself and that I make the best decisions for myself.
If someone was on the fence about coaching, I would say that this experience is what each individual makes of it and Keia as the coach brings out the best in people. If that person has some belief that they could become a mentally and physically healthier person, coaching with Keia could help them to that path.”

“I gave myself permission to do what I want to do.”
“When I first reached out to Keia, I was feeling stuck. I had only worked 1 job my entire life and knew I wanted to see what else was out there, but I had not idea of how to move forward.
When we started working together, I actually was surprised by how much inner growth I experienced in our calls. Not only did we talk about what I wanted next in my career, we explored how I was showing up in life in general. More specifically, I learned to recognize sabotaging inner talk and self-criticism that was keeping me stuck. Keia also walked me through a series of exercises that helped me to identify what I valued and wanted in my next job.
One of my biggest aha moments was to give myself permission to do what I want to do. I'm still in the process of looking for my next role but I feel more confident about how to approach the search. I'm proud of myself for going outside of my comfort zone and giving myself the space to grow and learn.
If you're looking to make a change in your life, whether it be to find a new job or just better yourself in any way, I recommend reaching out to Keia! She is an amazing listener and coach who can help you connect the dots and discover amazing insights about yourself.”

“She helped me identify what I truly desired”
“Keia helped coach me on some of my most important relationships - both with myself and my son. She helped me identify that it was fear motivating "my acts of love," which in turn would push him and others away. She helped me identify what I truly desired in my relationships and in life and the negative beliefs and thoughts that were holding me back. Instead of coming from a place of my own fears, interpretations, and assumptions, I now approach my relationships in a curious way, wanting to know what is truly motivating the other person. As a result, my less than optimal relationship with my 22-year-old-son transformed into a beautiful, loving relationship where are now fully aware of our energies and are in full appreciation of each other."
-Melissa B, Small Business Owner
“I gained a new way of approaching problems.”
“Keia is genuine and caring. Talking to her feels like talking to a good friend but as my coach she challenged me and kept me accountable to my goals each week.
In one conversation, Keia was able to help me overcome the fear holding me back from switching fields. As a developer, I find it easy to break down and compartmentalize problems at work. However, for decisions like career changes it is not so easy. Keia helped me isolate what exactly was holding me back and address each practically. She helped me connect my logic to my emotional responses so that I could paint a clearer, more comprehensive picture of my goals. I don't think I would have gotten there nearly as fast without her coaching.
After working together, I have gained a new way of approaching and thinking through problems. I highly recommend Keia as a coach to anyone."
-Jeff C., Software Developer
“She helped me identify the real reasons I was holding myself back.”
“Keia is amazing! She helped me to identify my true health goals, beyond just losing weight. She used several exercises that allowed me to explore not only my personal values, but also the limiting beliefs and gremlins that have been holding me back from leading the life I desire. She helped me to understand how to use my value of freedom to see how getting healthy will actually give me more of it in my life, rather than seeing dieting as a lack of freedom. Though this seems simple, it was actually a reframing that I had never found in previous wellness programs and I believe it’s a life changer!
Like many of you, I knew how to lose weight, I had lost plenty of weight in the past. I didn’t need someone to tell me what to eat and when to eat it, I didn’t need someone who just helped me set goals. I needed someone who would help me identify the real reasons I was holding myself back and to develop practices I can use for the rest of my life to make better decisions and healthy changes. If this is what you are looking for as well, Keia is your gal!"
-Candi B, Coach, 49
“She helped turn my ‘I wish I did’ mindset into ‘I did and still do.’”
“This was my first time working with a life coach. After working with Keia, I wish I would have found her sooner! Keia always made me feel comfortable and provided a non-judgmental environment when I discussed the challenges I personally faced in reaching personal and professional goals. Through our sessions, Keia was able to help me find a better understanding of myself and efficiently set up strategies that worked best for me to accomplish my goals. We assessed different factions of my life that I had never considered in such a way and was able to see what I clearly wanted and most importantly, HOW to do so. Keia worked with me weekly to refine the accomplish-able goals that helped build my confidence and motivation to keep accomplishing more. It is clear that Keia has the heart and compassion to help others and can provide helpful tools to shift your perspective. She helped turn my "I wish I did..." mindset to "I did and still do!" I highly recommend Keia as your future life-coach, I am thankful for her genuine care for me as my coach and the skills I've learned and can use forever!"
