"Working with Cicily was an absolute pleasure."
“Working with Cicily was an absolute pleasure. Her eagerness to provide excellence in service and her enthusiasm for the work was fantastic. From the moment the sessions started with her, I could sense that she was fully engaged and present for me throughout the time together. I was impressed with the way she paid attention to what was important to me and was careful not to impose her ideas or values over mine.
Not only did Cicily meet expectations with her compassion and desire to serve, but she gave me a safe space to explore my thinking and what may have been holding me back on making progress in areas of improving my self-care regimen. Prior to working with Cicily I struggled with going to the gym and getting a workout routine going. I also said I that wanted to focus on maintaining good health and improvement in the areas of sleep hygiene and adequate hydration. I liked that Cicily helped me rediscover alternatives to going to the gym while still being able to participate in exercise and health promotion. She also helped me develop SMART goals toward improving my overall efforts to good health and wellbeing. I now drink more water more consistently and have an improved sleep routine.
The level of communication and transparency throughout the process was exactly right for creating an atmosphere of comfort and trust. I would highly recommend Cicily to anyone seeking Nurse Coach services. Her commitment to client centered coaching, along with her expertise makes her the ideal person to partner with in promotion of personal growth, health, and wellness. Thank you Cicily for a job exceptionally well done! “

"Cicily has a true gift for unlocking potential..."
“Working with Cicily has been incredibly enriching. She made me feel heard, seen, and valued in our sessions. She has an exceptional ability to create a safe space for exploration, reflection, and accountability. This process gave me new insights into my strengths and areas for growth. I've learned to navigate physical, mental, and well-being obstacles and to embrace change and uncertainty as an opportunity for growth. The accountability and support from Cicily empowered me to tackle challenges I've avoided for years, while also teaching me lessons around grace and acceptance.Our sessions were not just about problem-solving. I left each session feeling more "alive," revitalized with positive energy and purpose. Cicily truly has a gift for unlocking potential and igniting passion. I wholeheartedly recommend Cicily's coaching to anyone seeking guidance and empowerment. Her approach fosters self-discovery and transformation, making it accessible and impactful for anyone starting on their journey of personal development and growth”

"Working with Cicily was truly a blast!"
“Working with Cicily was truly a blast! We had lots of fun conversations and her energy is ecstatic! Cicily approached every session excited to try something new! Before working with her, I was nervous and had no idea what to expect, but she was so welcoming and friendly, she made it easy to let creativity flow and work together. She has the ability to seamlessly sift between an energetic and electric conversation to a still and calm mindfulness practice; it felt so natural! I encourage anyone seeking coaching to not let the opportunity to be coached by Cicily pass them by!”

"Cicily always made me feel heard..."
“I am a caregiver in both my personal and professional life. I told Cicily in our first session that I might be too much of a challenge as one of her first clients. I have a hard time caring for/about myself in meaningful ways, because I truly didn’t like myself, and while I knew I should care about that, I didn’t. I won’t say I’m cured after 6 (or is it 5? Please correct me if I’m wrong) sessions with Cicily – because this is real life –, but I will say I am more easily able to identify my negative thoughts about myself and see ways I can challenge those ingrained thought patterns, dare I say even reframe them. Cicily always asks ‘what are we celebrating today’, and I’m learning to have things to say, which for me is very big. I felt safe enough with Cicily to be very honest about my issues, which is something I usually try to avoid talking about altogether. I also appreciated her ability to pace our sessions, I can ramble or spider web to various (but at least tangentially related) topics, and Cicily always made me feel heard, while steering us back to the central topic. I never felt rushed or micromanaged. It’s funny to say this because it’s something we do automatically and without conscious thought but, I breathe now to feel myself inhale and exhale. Whether it’s me closing my eyes at my desk and taking literally 2 minutes to try and imagine my lungs taking in oxygen, or a deep sigh of exhaustion – it’s a microbreak for me in my stressful day and I am doing it intentionally, for me. I don’t like quitting things and I struggle with being flexible when it comes to myself; I have a long way to go yet but I try to remind myself that I can try something and up if I want and that doesn’t mean I’ve quit or am a failure at it. Anyone who needs help with balancing/rebalancing aspects of their life. Struggling with major life changes and how to adjust to a new normal? Cicily. Need help parsing apart life decisions? Cicily. Feel like you need (maybe don’t want to admit you need) someone to help you be accountable for something or want to learn how to hold yourself accountable? Cicily.”

"Cicily is an amazing nurse coach..."
"Before I started working with Cicily I was allowing stress to consume me and falling back into my old habits for coping. Through my sessions with Cicily, I was overall supported to not only reach for my goals, but I was also encouraged to dig deep for clarity around those goals. I felt heard, encouraged, supported, with just the right amount of challenge to help me succeed in being the Mom, Wife, Nurse Coach, & Friend I want to be. By the end of our sessions together I have dramatically decreased the amount of processed foods again by working in a little meal prepping for the week allowing me to make better food choices and leveraging my goals to stay consistent. I would recommend Cicily's coaching to medical professionals, those who want support around balancing diet and exercise, and those seeking to expand or grow healthy relationships with family and friends. Cicily is an amazing nurse coach and I'm blessed and honored by our time together."

"Cicily is very knowledgeable and insightful..."
“Working with Cicily was just what I needed! Prior to meeting with her, my goals were unclear and my wellness improvements were at a plateau. She was empathetic and patient while helping me to define my direction, and our regular meetings created accountability that were a definite boost to my motivation levels. Cicily is very knowledgeable and insightful yet never pressured me to move faster than I was able to, or to make changes that I'm not yet ready to tackle. She is compassionate, thoughtful, and offered new perspectives to my challenges that I had not considered. I'd recommend anyone wishing to improve their health and wellness work with her to help clarify and achieve their goals!”

"I would recommend Cic's coaching to people who feel stuck."
“ I was in transition and big life changes. Going on the road. Traveling more. Hormone changes. I felt a little frustrated and even a little lost. Cicily helped me recenter on what I love and what I can control. She helped me come up with strategies to keep me strong and energetic mentally, emotionally and physically even while I travel. The breathing exercises were the best! I would recommend Cic's coaching to people who feel stuck. People who are in a rut and don't see a clear path to getting where they want to be next. ”

"Working with Cicily was a great experience...."Xperice
“Working with Cicily was a great experience! She listened attentively and asked questions to help me identify areas of my life that I want to improve. We worked together to set achievable goals but she also pushed me to think outside of my comfort zone, which I needed. Since incorporating the strategies we discussed I have found myself listening to my body more and making choices that will help me achieve my goals. I appreciate that she values whole person health and has a commitment to lifetime health. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make changes in their life.”

"Cicily spreads positivity like light..."
“Working with Cicily was an overall great experience. She did a wonderful job of making sure the coaching sessions were geared toward my personal goals and what is important to me, which was empowering. She listened to my concerns, without judgement, and got to the underlying issue to start with in order to begin with a solid foundation. Cicily spreads positivity like light, and often pointed out and celebrated small successes that I may not have even noticed. Bringing awareness to these small steps has been motivating to me. Cicily is adept at seeing the overall big picture as well as breaking it down into small steps in order to reach my goals. She is creative in her problem solving which facilitates actionable steps to take. I truly enjoyed working with Cicily. She has a great energy, is kind, caring, approachable, and always open to feedback. She truly cares about her clients and helping them succeed. It's clear she is passionate about helping others on their journey to wellness”
