TESTIMONIALS

  • “Working with Judy has been an invaluable experience for me. When we started meeting I had no idea the impact her guidance would bring to my life. Her coaching, and what I’ve called ‘seeing through my mess’ has brought clarity to my work, relationships, and how I see myself.

    From very practical strategies for implementing a healthy work-life balance to confidence building when it comes to navigating difficult conversations, all that I have learned has made me a better employee, business owner, and friend. I used to struggle so much with indecisiveness, so much so that it often left me feeling internally ‘paralyzed.’ Now when I make decisions for my life, whether big or small, I am far more self assured because I know myself better and what is important to me.”

  • “I worked with Judy Schenk for a short period of time to find my individual mission and purpose. I spent several years suppressing my thoughts, emotions and feelings as a result of a traumatic event. In only a few sessions with Judy, I walked away with the clarity that I wanted and guidance to shift my mindset. Judy took my jumbled thoughts and found the most profound and beautiful ways to express exactly what I was trying to say creating the clarity that I was searching for. She truly has a unique gift that is rare to find. I am grateful that I had the privilege of working with her."

  • Meeting with Judy Schenk has been life-giving, encouraging, and eye-opening. Through our sessions together, she supported me moving from paralysis in discerning my next steps, to confident and hope-filled action. Through her life-giving ability to listen and ask questions, and her wealth of knowledge and experience, she gave me the tools of self knowledge to not only discern my next steps but the principles for the many steps ahead.

  • Note: In certain situations, I may choose to barter with a client. In this case, I bartered coaching time for an original painting. This archetypal painting has become one of the most meaningful gifts I have ever been given. Here is the Instagram post describing it…

    “I finished this painting about 6 months ago and have finally been able to get it to its owner, my life coach and longtime family friend.

    “Sanitatum ad infinitum” roughly translates to “cures to infinity” or “perpetual healing” in Latin.

    Life coaching was instrumental to me getting my head in the right place to open up to positive energy and productive flow, so I wanted to reflect the spirit of healing and power in this piece as an homage and honor to my coach.”
