Jayme Wilmann — Owner & Founder, Canine Dog Walking
“Isabelle’s coaching has completely transformed my business in the time I’ve been working with her! She has an innate ability to quickly identify blocks and provide me with the tools to move through them. At the end of every session together I feel like anything is possible.
I now have a clear path forward in my business thanks to Isabelle, and I also now have the clarity, tools and resources to reach those goals. She has assisted me in removing the doubt and old stories that have kept me from dreaming big and achieving my full potential.
Isabelle and I meet every two weeks, and it is as though there’s a quantum leap that occurs after every session. In the time between sessions I am able to achieve in two weeks what I would normally do in three months on my own.
I couldn’t recommend Isabelle any more highly - her kind yet no nonsense approach creates a solid and safe structure to work within, and her well-honed intuition allows her to identify exactly what her client needs in each session, offering a wonderfully personalized experience.”
Myan Pham — Quality & Safety Project Manager
“I am so grateful to have met Isabelle! When we first started, I was afraid to ask for what I wanted, had difficulties processing my emotions, and had a rough time giving myself the self-care I needed to operate. These troubles manifested in my professional, love, and personal lives.
Thanks to Isabelle, I’ve been able to incorporate valuable emotional coping mechanisms. I’ve been able to process my thoughts and really do root cause analysis whenever there’s an issue. This experience has helped me understand my emotions and develop ways to problem solve that aren’t stressful and detrimental to my health.Isabelle is intuitive, listens well, and allows me to process my thoughts. She problem solves with me which allows me to feel involved and not talked at. Her undivided attention really shows how dedicated she is! I feel heard and seen. I have come to call her my secret healer.”
Dr. Julienne Jagdeo — Scientist & Non-Profit Co-Founder
“Working with Isabelle over the past few months has been an amazing experience and perfect timing as I was at a point in my career where I was looking to advance, develop my leadership skills, and explore the possibilities of heading down an entrepreneurial path.
I had concerns that it would be difficult relating to each other because we come from different backgrounds, but in our first meeting I realized it didn’t matter. She is not only an exceptionally active listener but has the ability to understand what you are saying through the lens of your own perceptions and experiences.
She was also able to quickly create a comfortable space to discuss some very sensitive topics, which I had no idea were connected to the parts of me that I was bringing to my career. Through working together, I’ve learned how to work through some of the sticky points we identified and get more value out of my work. If you are considering working with a coach, I would highly recommend Isabelle.”
Daphne-Khanh Ngo — Tax Accountant
“I'm so glad that my friend introduced me to Isabelle when I was having a difficult time finding the right career path. From the very first session, I felt what it is like being heard, understood and supported. Isabelle listened attentively to my dilemma, and patiently walked me through my struggles, fears, and limiting beliefs that prevent me from accomplishing my goals.
Not only did she provided me with valuable insights, but she also pointed me to the right path by creating these helpful exercises I could work on. Throughout the process, she followed up to make sure I am doing okay. And I could always reach out to her for help and advices if needed.
Working with Isabelle has definitely been a life-changing experience. I'd highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a shift in their career path, or simply wanting to grow and develop their professional and personal skills. She's amazing!”

“Since my coaching call with Isabelle, it's been going great. I've been raving to my husband about our conversation every other day! I've definitely been getting more done in my business and keep moving forward on my big goals.
I was worried about feeling judged or pressured when I explained the problem I was dealing with, but of course Isabelle was nothing but warm, accepting, and validating. We were able to get to the bottom of my issue and where it's likely stemming from. That really helps me be kinder to & understand myself more!
Not only that, but she gave me tools and action items to support myself going forward. I seriously feel like I've grown from one conversation!”
Peter Schultz — Founder & CEO
“Isabelle has been the largest single influence of change to date! Her questioning has led me down a more sincere path of introspection, which has led to more extrospective clarity. Isabelle has worked with me to uncover the subtle influences and habits that shape my day to day life, and continues to help me create new opportunities from a position of power.
Personally I have felt great calm when feeling stressed after opening up to Isabelle. Her Active listening skills are unparalleled and her ability to see what you won't/don't see in yourself is a large part of her success. My business in construction (like any business) is filled with teachable moments, and critical moments that shape the company. Isabelle has changed how we observe these moments, and has given us the right tools to use when under pressure. Her work as a coach grows with us and we can't see our business growing without her!”

“Isabelle is a guiding light that illuminates multiple success paths and gives me the freedom and direction to discover which path to pursue. By asking the tough questions, she is able to help me uncover for myself, the ways in which to align my intensions, my passions and my strengths. She’s given me the confidence to question the source of my fears and limiting beliefs, which has had tremendous benefits for me personally and professionally.
Being coached by Isabelle has been an empowering, enriching and profound experience. I would absolutely recommend working with her to any professional who is ready to take a deep look at what is impeding the expansion of their life and business.”

“Being a female entrepreneur wanting to start a family while still running a business can be a challenging path to navigate. After trying to tackle major business choices on my own, I found working with Isabelle to be enlightening and refreshing. She is very talented at allowing you to uncover yourself and your own beliefs, while still providing valuable advice and encouragement. She is an amazing listener, and also is very talented at getting to the root of how you are feeling. I cannot recommend her enough!”
Nicholas Yap — Chiropractor
“Isabelle has helped me navigate starting my own business by asking me thought provoking questions and presenting me with scenarios that I would not have been able to come up with on my own. I've learned through working with Isabelle, that having someone outside of your circle take a hard look at your unique situation can be extremely fruitful in opening conversations about how to navigate them and maximize each avenue.
Isabelle is an excellent listener and genuinely cares about your success! She challenges you to explore outside your comfort zone and provides you with effective tools to navigate the obstacles in starting your own business. I highly recommend her services if you are wanting to start your own business or need guidance to propel your business and personal growth. The virtual sessions have been very helpful and streamline from the comfort of your own home!”
Rosslyn Schultz — Early Childhood Educator
“The day I started my sessions with Isabelle, I realized she was someone I needed at that time in my life. Isabelle's soft nature, open mind and presence was enough to give me comfort to share all areas of my life. She asked questions that opened my mind to places that I have never explored before which assisted in further understanding of where I needed improvement in my life.
Our sessions were relaxed but were professional at the same time. I looked forward to our sessions and did not feel anxious about not accomplishing something at the end. There was always a task I had to do or think about for the next session which helped me to keep moving forward. I would highly recommend Isabelle to anyone who is looking for clarity or development within themselves. She aided in a wide variety of areas in my life during those sessions. Thank you Isabelle!”

I appreciate how she takes the extra time to ask deeper questions outside of the typical scope of the project, really challenging you to think outside of the box!

Her enthusiasm to take risks on projects is contagious, and can enhance an organizations ability to stay dynamic in any environment!”

She is a generous listener with deep intuition, which allowed her to quickly and effortlessly identify the root of my professional roadblocks.

"Since working with Isabelle, I have made so much progress in my business just by way of shifting my mindset! She has guided me to crucial personal insights which have had a ripple effect in my life — I’m able to see my path more clearly as well as the obstacles in my way. I was able to understand how I've been bogged down by self-limiting beliefs and getting stuck in a state of anxiety and inaction. Isabelle's magic is in how she creates a space for you to feel safe to explore and stay curious. She gently guides you to come to your own realizations in a natural way so that the insights you have become deeply lasting. I feel empowered and excited as I move forward!"
“I invited Isabelle for a presentation to members of the San Gabriel Valley Section of the American Society for Quality, in Southern California. Her presentation on ‘The Individual and The Team: Necessary Collaborators’ was well received. At this virtual session, we had almost 80 members in attendance. Utilizing a variety of tools and facilitation techniques, Isabelle invited participants to explore more of who they were and how they showed up in groups.”
"We ran through a couple of activities centered around cultivating a greater understanding of team experiences that lead to successful outcomes. Although run virtually on Zoom, the discussions, activities and insights were well received. I feel the members took back something that would help them get the most out of their team. Thank you Isabelle. I wish we did not have the current restrictive environment, and could have done this with you in person."
Akhilesh Gulati — Management Consultant
“Isabelle did a fabulous presentation for the Professional Women's Group (PWG) Alumnae of Dress for Success. I am the volunteer facilitator of that group. Her presentation was called "Am I an Imposter". I loved how she started with her own story of feeling like an imposter and invited the women in this group to think about their own experiences, share with each other in pairs, and with the group. She shared a lot of information about imposter syndrome in a way that was easy to take in.”
"I also loved how at the end she asked us to imagine if we could experience imposter syndrome and not let those voices be stronger than our voices of courage, strong self-esteem, and confidence. If you host a group that could benefit from a wonderful, engaging presentation on Imposter Syndrome, I would encourage you to reach out to Isabelle."
Brenda Benham — Presentation Trainer and Coach at Memorable Presenters
Kim L.
“I loved the workshop on imposter syndrome and the time that was set aside to let us connect with the other participants because it allowed everyone to have a chance to speak. It was very insightful to hear from the others about their experiences as well, and it made me feel less alone in my feelings. Thanks for hosting such a great workshop!”
“Whether more of an extrovert or introvert, Isabelle's imposter syndrome workshop provided different ways one could participate with 1-1 chats with peers, typing in the chat, sharing with the group, and through self-reflection opportunities. No matter your comfort level you can take something away and participate in this workshop.“
