of Ann as a career chiropractor, but even better. She leveled honesty on
me like no one else would. And it knocked me back into alignment."

stuck in a quagmire, blaming it on other people, feeling unappreciated

worked. I don't dread coming to work anymore. I look at each day as a
learning experience that is preparing me for my next career adventure."

Daly is a delightful coach who boosted my intentions to re-energize my
law practice and my career. Within two months of her counsel, I found my

Life Transitions
"I
will sing Ann's praises to anyone who'll listen! Ann is high-energy and

make my plans. She helped me think about what I can or cannot change;
instead of letting the situation control me, Ann showed me how to
control the situation. I feel stronger and more confident."

The clarity I found was crucial and directive, enabling me to proceed down the path I am to follow. What a pleasant journey."

Meredith Pizzi., Roman Music Therapy Services
"You were there to support my business needs, challenging me to get to my deepest core values and mission.

You helped me see what I already knew was inside yet had trouble seeing myself. That is a true gift."
Maren W., massage therapist
"I am
enormously grateful to be working with you. You are a compassionate
pusher. You call me out on my stuff. You stand firm when I push back.
You turn me in the direction of reality. You are extremely encouraging,
but not in a fluffy, BS way. Instead, you are helping me learn how to
fish and believe that I can make a good living fishing. And that is a
totally different kind of support."
Ramona B., consultant
"I gave myself an ambitious goal: to begin my business after 10 weeks of coaching. Big feat, but no problem for Ann. After working with her, I feel more confident. I came to the realization that my dream life is possible, and I am living it out each day. I highly recommend Ann to anyone seeking change."

better structure in place with which to continue my journey."
Yolanda S., visual artist
"I am
so grateful for finding Ann! She is an attentive and empathetic
listener, an insightful and kind teacher, and a compassionately fierce
truth-teller. She has helped me to see what I see, know what I know, and
do what I love. After a very short time of talking with Ann (and doing
the thoughtful exercises she assigned) I was able to find a way to
work--and live with working--that is satisfying and productive and good
and had eluded me for years. I was discouraged and frustrated when I
called Ann, and now I am excited and working steadily."
Annie L., writer/performer
"Ann
helped me translate what had been a pervasive sense of confusion into
actions and attitudes that moved me into a new phase of personal and
professional vibrancy--with joy, equilibrium, and renewed energy. I
continue to feel the impact of our work together, as I notice myself
responding to challenging situations with an inner grace and clarity."
