"When Carmen and I started working together I was exhausted and overwhelmed. There were a lot of tears. I was going on two years of caring for declining elderly parents, caring for my adult son with serious mental health challenges who was still living with me, and starting a new business having just completed my education for a new career. I felt isolated, was constantly giving, had no joy, and was using junk food to replace the healthy things I wasn’t getting.

In desperation, the first goals I expressed to Carmen were to get back to feeling like I had an actual choice when it came to sugar, and to lose 15 pounds. Six months later I indeed have choice and I am 25 pounds lighter. During our sessions, I saw Carmen as a lifeline, a connection to another human being who listened patiently, witnessed my struggle, and pointed out my strengths and successes that I could not see on my own. I sensed she had pure and good intentions which created a safe space for me. She never made me feel bad in my turmoil and shame. And she took from my ramblings and made order.

Not a week went by when she didn’t have me focus in on several next steps related to my goals. The structure, timelines, and agreements had structure then forming in my own head and then action. I often didn’t complete those steps during the week, but now looking back six months later, I can see that the momentum of our conversations kept me making choices that furthered my goals and I continue to do so today, based on our work together.

I stepped back from so many hours caregiving my parents, which quelled some of the emotional eating. Carmen helped me with a few simple healthy recipes. I got room darkening shades that improved my sleep immensely. I made a boundary and had my son move out which lowered my stress greatly and enabled me to progress on my clutter. My new part time business I created is bringing in $1200/mo. Carmen helped me follow through on a decade long goal to get tested for ADHD and I am benefitting immensely from that diagnosis. I’m trading my business services with a friend for personal training and I’m getting strong and active. I’m dating after three years and feeling hopeful. Wow, a great coach and six months can transform a life!

Carmen is a really kind person with a verve for life, who made me feel like I matter and that I’m capable. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to know Carmen and benefit from her unique guidance and wonderful support."

And more from Carl E...

"...coaching with Carmen, toward the end of it, I became gravely ill and was diagnosed with a lymphoma and began a course of chemotherapy for about 6 months that changed my life and definitely how I moved within it at that time. Earlier, being someone who was easily coachable, I was now missing my coach calls, not following through on things that I said that I was going to do, scared, angry and depressed, truly stopped within my own life. However, not once did she make me feel that way. With her technique, I was aware that it had an impact not just for me and my own life, but for those around me as well, so I continued to show up and do my best figuring out how to improve as I went along. Personally, I’m more of a straight shooting, direct and to the point, no excuses sort of leader, who just happens to be filled with judgement and self righteous indignation, though at that time, I couldn’t see it. it wasn’t until working with Carmen that I became cognizant and opened to the fact that judgement is the biggest demotivating factor in working with anyone and adopting a more compassionate, patient and kinder approach was a far better approach in creating connection between and with other team members. I now have over 20 people connected to me and that current project.

Finally, Carmen Reynal would be a true asset to any organization who is looking to make change and to have a driving force for forward direction, but done with compassion, integrity and with a true understanding of how to manage the multitude of personalities every organization is comprised of."
