Coaching Testimonials

“Another amazing find that I want to keep all to myself, but that wouldn’t be fair! I was looking for an experience to help me set my real self free. Montine’s coaching has truly been a gift. Through the process, I’ve been able to better understand my “edges” and face them with direct action. With Montine as the watchful guide, the experience has been nothing less than transformative. Montine is a rare find. She is smart, intuitive, caring, compassionate and inspiring. She provides a safe and inviting atmosphere where one can safely push their boundaries. Highly recommend!” — Matt S., Event Business, Owner, Malibu, CA

Applying Montine’s approach to coaching, I am more of the person I really wanted to be. Now I take time to enjoy life and make choices based on what really matters to me.

“I went to Montine without ever having tried coaching to help me resolve work issues - I was tired of feeling frustrated with my coworkers, had a nemesis, and need help to figure out what I could do to improve my work situation. The coaching was great and Montine was open to working with not only my work schedule, but routinely adjusted our goals to what I really was seeking and what was the root of my issues. She listened to me, and at each session would evaluate the tools we tried and adjusted them based upon success. Instead of telling me to keep trying meditation, she found other tools that I would do. (Meditation is just not for me). While not part of what I originally went to see Montine for, she was a great help in a tough family situation. The tools she gave me I continue to use and I am able to handle stress a lot better, have been using the tools to change work interactions for a better environment, and it has greatly improved my relationship with my former nemesis.

I highly recommend Montine for coaching.” — Heather B., Engineer, Los Angeles, CA

I hired Montine for a coach after meeting her at a painting retreat. I retired early and unexpectedly during the pandemic and was lost on several levels. I liked how she used science combined with intuition to help me get to the core of who I am, where I belong, and what I should be doing with my time now that I am retired. She helped me jump over the hurdles that I put in my path and gently held me accountable to make the changes I needed and wanted to make.

“Montine is a savvy entrepreneur and a real coach as well as consultant. She brings out the best of my ideas and keeps me focused because I tend to go off in all directions with new ideas.

I felt like all of her years as an entrepreneur, together with her corporate work really brought a uniquely powerful perspective to my business. I cannot remember a time that she did not have an answer/solution, an idea or a way to help me figure out a problem. I also appreciate that every session was customized to my needs, my background, and my business - - not some canned program.” — Michele S., Atlanta, GA
