Ouida,
Thank you for holding space for me as I did the transformational work of getting my coaching business off the ground. Though at times painful (as growth often is), our work together was efficient and ALWAYS JOYFUL! You were and continue to be a Provision-sent, and I could not be more grateful.
MFA, Fine Artist Independent Design Consultant
Ouida’s ability to help give people the tools to transform themselves is simply unmatched. Our journey together started years ago, and each time we work together, I come out on the other side with a deeper sense of empowerment to lead with my intuition.
This time around, she helped me elevate my voice and leadership skills to the next level. A big part of our work involved unpacking those difficult moments at work, diagnosing what happened, and setting a plan to change the outcome for the next time. This helped me see around corners – for myself, for my team and stakeholders, and for the success of our broader project.
Her thoughtful approach to her work allowed me to look inward at some of my biggest opportunities for growth, and then outward toward a radically new version of myself. It comes without question that I would highly recommend her as a mentor, coach, and thought partner. I look forward to working with her again soon.

Ouida also contributed to designing and implementing an onboarding process for new clients and employees, creating a sense of professional alignment and achievement.
Beyond the realm of business, Ouida's one-on-one coaching is also a source of inspiration. The introductory visualization at the beginning of each session has proven instrumental in facilitating a clearer vision of my priorities and aspirations, both personally and professionally.
Through Ouida's capable guidance, I am encouraged to adopt a forward-thinking approach, enabling a broader exploration of future prospects and potentialities while aligning to my company values while increasing my bottom line. I highly recommend Ouida to entrepreneurs who are looking to transform their business as well as themselves from the inside out.
