Path of Purpose Coaching - Personal and Professional Development Strategies for Professional Women.

"Your work with me today revealed tremendous skill Helaine. My heart is filled with gratitude, not only for your ability to speak to both the depth and breadth of my experience, but to guide me through an issue that could have completely encumbered my progress. With you on belay, how could I not but dare, once again, to leap empty-handed into the Void? With many thanks. "

Rev. Cheryl D. Harrell LICSW, Vermont

"Helaine's coaching has been invaluable to me as a solo business owner looking to grow my financial planning practice. Whether I need a sounding board, some outside perspective, specific "how-to" advice, a little understanding, or perhaps even a kick in the pants, she always recognizes and provides exactly what is needed to help me get "unstuck" and back moving full speed ahead in the right direction."

Sherrill St Germain, Financial Planner, Hollis, NH

"Helaine provided me with a breadth of practical advice, including keeping and sticking to a schedule, prioritizing, creating a business plan, and maintaining a balance in my work and my personal life. She made special efforts to provide thoughtful, intelligent recommendations for my website to help me attract customers and establish a more effective business foundation. Perhaps most importantly, she helped me to see the importance of having financial goals...

Her encouragement, enthusiasm, and interest in my success and well-being was invaluable to me, especially in a time of real need. I continue to use the strategies I learned while working with her, and continue to rely on many of the pieces of advice she provided to me throughout our sessions."

Michelle Lewis, Free Lance Writer, Maine

"Helaine has taught me to look at the challenges in my life and learn what can be gained from them. How can a negative situation be turned around? When things don't go as I'd like in my life, I now try to find the positive or at least the lesson to be learned from that situation. I am a new and improved person with a new outlook on life thanks to Helaine. I am so grateful to have received this opportunity!"

Suerae Stein, Photo-Graphic Design, Spofford, NH

"Helaine, you are a gift!! You have truly brought evolution to every facet of my life. I am often overwhelmed with gratitude that you are in my life! Thank you for sharing your remarkable ability to see the positive attributes in absolutely any situation. Thank you for graciously accepting and working with me exactly the way I am at any given moment, without judgment. And thank you for the simple yet extraordinary tools you share throughout the Path of Purpose process. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!!!!!!!"
