The phrase “compassionate coaching” barely scratches the surface of what Brooke provides. I have used Brooke’s coaching services on multiple occasions during decision-making crossroads, and she has guided me with patience and compassion. I’m always in awe of Brooke’s ability to create a warm and welcoming space for others to be honest and vulnerable; it’s her ninja skill. She helped me see where I was expending energy unnecessarily needlessly while waffling in indecision and gave me a useful tool for making future decisions with clarity and integrity. Brooke is a coach who has an abundance of patience and kindness and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.

Brooke is a shining light and someone that is open hearted and open minded. She gives 100% to help, guide and support. I adore her creativity and commitment - and working with her is such a great pleasure. I couldn’t recommend her enough - to work with and to connect with.
— Dani Saveker, founder of The GLAS Method
Brooke’s coaching encouraged me to set aside self-doubt and pursue the creative work that had value for me. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me to envision my novel as finished and published.
