Helen Johnson's help as a Life Coach brings a welcome time during the week when I can voice my concerns and feelings in a safe and confidential dialogue. She is very skilled as a listener, one who shows her attentiveness in wise and sensitive responses. Her pertinent guidance is always in tune with the threads of our actual conversation, not just text-book answers. The results each week have brought me a genuine sense of clarity and resolve. I whole heartedly recommend her as a trustworthy and caring Life Coach.
