Testimonial - Business
Kirsten is the coach you want in your corner. I came to her blocked on something I needed to do to grow my business. I'd been stuck for weeks. Within the first few minutes, she immediately got to the heart of what was going on - the underlying emotions and loud inner critic. In that moment she did something powerful: she stood up for my values. Hearing her accurately acknowledge what I was feeling helped me to do the same - to own what was here instead of ignoring it. By the end of the session, I came away with a new framing for the problem and a feeling of expansiveness in my body. I've since moved forward and I'm feeling great about the business. This wasn't the only time I came blocked and Kirsten helped me untangle things. Her intuition, clarity of thought, fierce protection of my values and push toward action were exactly what I needed. - Ambica
Testimonial - Career
I truly appreciated your approach throughout our time together. Your active listening and empathetic, caring nature created a supportive environment that made it easy to open up. I especially valued how you challenged some of my answers and probed for more information when you felt more details were needed; it pushed me to think more deeply about my goals. Your engagement and great eye contact also made our sessions feel incredibly personal and focused.
Thank you for your guidance and for helping me imagine what is possible. - Julie
Testimonial - Life
‘I thought I had it together. I’ve done life coaching and therapy before when I was going through a life adjustment but I was entering another transition. Kirsten had me tap into things I forgot about. She offered techniques that would become constant reminders of what I already have and showed me how to stay tapped in. I especially like the recap summary she provides after the sessions. It becomes a tangible reminder of the conversations and goals to work on in between sessions. If you need a reminder in how to tap into the special person you are, if you’re seeking insight or tools in order to become the best version of yourself reach out to Kirsten to start the journey. I truly believe she wants everyone to “Shine Boldly”. - Danielle
Testimonial - Life
I can't say enough wonderful things about Kirsten and Shine-Boldly. From the moment we started working together, she made me feel completely safe, supported, and never judged. She has such a unique gift for listening deeply and helping you see things from a different perspective. Her approach to coaching is unlike anything I've experienced.
After just one session, I was able to work through a major issue that had been weighing heavily on me. I left feeling lighter, more confident, and with a renewed sense of peace and clarity. The impact of that session was truly life-changing for me.
Because of the progress I made with Kirsten, I didn't feel the need to pursue additional therapy sessions, and I felt more equipped to manage my anxiety without turning to medication. I will always be grateful for her compassion, wisdom, and encouragement.
I can't wait for our next session and to continue this journey with her. Thank you, Kirsten, for helping me see what's possible! - Noemi
