Mary McClements has impacted my life in profound and meaningful ways. Her deep, provocative questions, combined with the space of silence, allow me to turn inward and discover answers that are hidden within me.  Mary’s humour and lightness are well-placed and presented naturally in ways that support our coaching exploration.  Mary makes no pretense, and shows up with such deep authenticity and vulnerability as a coach, that I feel safe to truly be myself, to open up and allow her to see all of me, which has been crucial to my journey.  I’m deeply grateful to have Mary as a coach and place her in high regard among top coaches I’ve encountered.  

- Sarah M., Toronto, CAN.

I had the pleasure of connecting with Mary at a major changing point in my life. I had very little direction or goals and with that came feelings of guilt and anxiety. What was I going to do? Should I jump right into the next thing just to keep myself going? I initially thought life coaching was a joke and was very skeptical, but holy cow was I wrong! Mary and I really connected and through some very productive sessions I found myself having a ton of fun! The guilt seemed to melt away and a lot of purpose came to the surface. I am not on my way to hiking Everest or launching my own start up but I have found the path that is just right for me. I could not believe how enjoyable this amount of change could be and how much faster I got here with Mary's help. 

- Kelly L., Vermont

I had the great opportunity to work with Mary a few months ago and some amazing experiences and changes came out of our sessions – the most notable being a clear and present sense of purpose, which has given me the courage to take on new challenges. If for any reason, there comes a time in your life, when you are unsure of your path, where you want to be, need objective assistance in formulating goals – then Mary is your answer. I learned the skills to follow through with my goals and got a better understanding of what was interfering with goal attainment.  I can't thank Mary enough for giving me these skills....which I always had.  I just had to remember how to use them.
