"Working with Alix was absolutely a transformational life experience for me. Alix is a wealth of knowledge, support, encouragement, and perspective. We worked together after I finished my doctorate program, while I was beginning a new phase of post-graduate work.  Alix guided me beyond simply making change, to making growth. If you have never worked with a life coach, you will be amazed at the difference it makes, and Alix is the best. Thank you, thank you Alix!"

“Alix does an exceptional job of inclusion in her group settings. She makes you feel safe and comfortable to lean into things that may bring forth some feelings of discomfort. Personally, I have experienced this with regard to improv inspired activities which Alix does a fantastic job of leading. Alix is a very skilled listener and makes you feel seen and heard. She is thoughtful, compassionate, honest with her insights, and shares excellent suggestions. Alix also does a great job of connecting others together with her knowledge of others strengths and areas of specialty/focus. I’m truly grateful to have connected with Alix”

“Coaching with Alix inspired me to dive deeper and fly higher. I was in a muddled place about my direction before working with Alix and our coaching group. Alix served as a masterful listener and lighthearted presence. She was especially adept at bringing unconscious places to my attention as well as inviting me to name the assumptions I had that were holding me back and keeping me in limbo. Besides that, Alix provided us with ample resources to keep the momentum going, including slides, office hours, and optional extended times for our coaching sessions. I am very grateful to have had Alix's support and guidance.”

“Each of us absolutely can co-create our experiences and plant the seeds for our future dreams to become reality. It's often too daunting to try and set a course on your own and having a coach and supportive group guide, encourage and set the stage for all possibilities is so worthwhile and really enjoyable. I learned so much about my soul's desires and how to align my values with how I spend my energy.  Too often, days, weeks, years can go by just tromping through life without taking action towards what's really calling you. Taking time out for coaching accelerates your ability to know how to spend your energy for what is rewarding to you.”

“Alix emphasizes and encourages the journey to self-awareness, which is the key to be able to design your own life. She provides tools for mindfulness and practices that can be helpful to the journey of self-discovery.”

— Melissa

“Alix is a true champion of her clients. She asks questions from a place of deep listening, hearing what is and isn’t being said. She notices and brings awareness to her client’s growth. In group coaching, Alix makes sure everyone feels welcome and encouraged to contribute. She draws connections between what different people share and asks questions that encourage discussion. She has so many tools and resources in her back pocket and shares them in a way that is fun and useful. I always leave coaching sessions with her encouraged and energized.”

— Karen

“I found the Immunity to Change mapping process incredibly powerful. I claimed myself to be self-aware and reflective, yet I was surprised to learn what big assumptions I was operating under and how they would get in the way of me achieving my goals. Alix’s patience, compassion, and openness made my experience possible. I find Alix to be both effective and gentle. She is the kind of coach I have been looking for.”

— Jay

“You would be very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Alix.  She is a great intuitive listener and is able to quickly understand and help drill down to deeper levels without making you uncomfortable.  I only spent a relatively short time with her but was really able to better understand where my hesitancy was coming from.  Alix does not waste time and really respects boundaries regarding coaching and more therapeutic needs.  If you are thinking about a life change I would recommend working with Alix to help create your path.”

— Kathy

“Entering into the experience of life coaching knowing nothing about what to expect was a little daunting. I feel so grateful to have had Alix as the coach and leader to ease me in. She has such a calm, comfortable way about her, with a nice touch of warmth and humor. She's also organized, responsive, and seems to flexibly shift with the needs of the group. I am walking away with tools that I plan to reimplement on a regular basis, and a new way of looking at my life and myself as a designer.”

— Amy

“Alix provided a wealth of coaching resources and perspective. She is an excellent listener and distiller of salient information.”

— Tara

“Alix is the kind of coach that is so adept at what she does that she makes you feel like you're talking to an old friend, or a very wise, hip university professor.  The kind who gives you the tools and shows you how to use them to find your own answers.  And then she expertly hold you to task, without you feeling coerced or forced - and lets you set parameters and time tables.  She has been able to hone in on the heart of different matters, helping me to pull out what's most important.  With her guidance and wise questioning, I have found insight into planning a way forward with places I've been stuck.  I am forever grateful for her adept ability to help me find the answers I am seeking within myself.  And with those, to build a road I want to travel on into a brightly envisioned future.”

— Leanne

“Alix is very committed to making a difference in people's lives.”

— DYL workshop participant

“Alix was my facilitator and coach for the Design Your Life (DYL) Group Program. Always prepared, always welcoming, and always holding a safe space for group work, it was a pleasure to be in Alix's cohort. She did a great job of explaining each week's work and encouraging us to engage with the exercises and activities within the program. Our group had consistent participation and members shared vulnerable aspects of their lives because of the held space Alix created. Alix deftly facilitated a group of people who approached the content with varying expectations, challenges, and prior experience levels with a gentle laugh and the offer of a unique perspective. I left the program with a clearer idea of what can be achieved by using the DYL structure and trusting in the DYL process.”
