Going on year three as Spangler's coaching client , it's been a total delight having him in my corner. Matt understands the true source of success and fulfillment. He stretches me and invites me to move into action when I begin to overthink. I feel an unconditional acceptance from Matthew, which has me know that he genuinely cares about my happiness and my expansion. My coaching with him is a healthy mix of focus on "Being" and getting into action being and becoming the man I know I'm capable of being. The future feels alive with possibility from the momentum I've been creating with Matthew!

It was like a light in the tunnel, I was in the darkest and lowest place in my life. But when I met Ida Jamts, I was at my lowest point emotionally, struggling as a divorcee, businesswoman and single mother of my kids. I had been living in scarcity mentality, literally mentally break down, lost hope, useless feeling, no one understand me, lonely, lost, trapped and barely making money, desperate and after my divorce i slowly losing my business reputation, lost a lot of friends and i made a money by only few hundres dollars as a photographer, selling myself short for any photography work, thinking by offering my services on the cheap to work. I was exhausted, lost and ready to give up. Luckily my good friend of mind recommended me to talk to Ida Therapist, She was able to help me to define - and reconnect with myself, and engineer my rates based on my goals. I went from barely being able to feed my children, to earning a consistent income, most importantly she gave my life back, even now i am still divorcee but i know how to communicate with my ex-husband, co-parent my kids, and gain my joy and happy life. This is a lot to me. I really can call myself a peaceful, joyful and successful healthy lifestyle, mind, body and spirit. I never thought in my life this is possible. I am super grateful to Ida Therapy for her all the coaches, therapy session to made my impossible to possible to my life. Love, Maria
