see change

Edana is a certified, strengths-based life/work coach who will help you gain clarity and take action towards your goals  using the qualities that come most naturally to you. Her compassionate, intuitive and sometimes playful approach yields practical results. 

Whether they are faced with an unwanted change or sense its time to reach for new horizons, I work alongside clients to travel through transitions with more ease. They say they feel:

• refreshed • renewed • refocused • relieved • relaxed • re-energized + • ready-to-go..

It’s a great joy to work with all of them to create new ways to enjoy life and reach their potential.

Here are some of thier true short change stories.

I discovered the confidence to pursue my real passion - making art! I now work as an artist full-time. My newfound self-awareness has opened up many opportunities in a short time. I’m doing what I enjoy, like sketching at a nearby farm, practicing yoga and I spend far less time ruminating about things. I just negotiated five-figures for a hotel project. And I feel better! I went from afraid to ready-to-go. Not only that - when I look back on my art from a year ago, I don’t recognize it. My work is more vibrant and I’m inspired to work on larger scale pieces. - Jenny Brown

You have a real talent for looking at situations through a different lens and helped me realize my potential. To be honest I was a little skeptical but after our first session I was convinced. We spoke about things that I wanted in life that I’d never had the courage to say out loud and you made me believe they were possible. Now my satisfaction in every aspect of my life has improved and I am a fuller, more successful person because of you. I am beyond appreciative for what you've done for me. - Nikki Therrien  littlebrothersboston.org

You support me in staying focused, driven, intentional and aware of my next move to get me closer to my goals. You see possibilities, open doors, connect me to the right people and are always looking to elevate and expand what I have to offer. You help me see the highlights of my own skill set and bring out my personal best. You are an integral part of how I work - and play. -Bina Altera binaaltera.com

Every session with you I find remarkable: I hop off the call with a new focus and a fresh outlook on something vital to my business. You are gifted in listening carefully and then helping me quickly find the answer that works for me. You’ve helped me overcome issues that have been distractingly challenging and, in some cases, too sensitive to discuss with anyone else. - Suzanne MacDonald anglesandinsghts.com

I learned about my top qualities which I discovered through multiple quizzes. Knowing my personal strengths helped me during my application process. My writing reflected my strengths and painted the best picture of who I am. You stood by me through the entire search process and helped me find my dream job. Not only did you help with my job search, you helped me improve my day-to-day and focus on things in life that make me fuller and happy. - Susan K.

You've helped in many different ways on my food blog. You help me synthesize my thoughts, fine-tune my messages and make sure the copy flows well. You do all of this without altering my voice and tone. It’s all me, just a better me! - Eva Katz              myfrontburner.com

Thank you so much for the detailed and constructive feedback. All your suggestions are brilliant. Oh how I wish I’d met you months ago! I've said this several times and I'll say it again; you've been a tremendous help to me on my professional journey. I wonder where I'd be mentally and in my career if I hadn't met you. I’m so grateful for your presence in my life! I feel like a long journey has finally come to an end! I feel so relieved! - Analise A.

You work really well with creative people because you’re creative yourself! When I moved to Boston you helped me find a home that I could convert into an artist’s live/work space. I didn’t think it was possible. You found a single family that I renovated to make my vision a reality. You worked tirelessly and called on your contacts to help. The whole first floor became my studio, while the upstairs was opened up into a loft-like living space. - Rachel Paxton

Plagued with doubt about how to transform my art business to meet the needs of a large, new sales venue, you helped immensely by giving me confidence and concrete help. I had to elevate the branding, packaging and graphics. You acted as my focus group, critiqued the signage and merchandise display and most importantly simplified the artist statement by editing it for space and clarity. You made it more accessible for the general public while keeping it poetic and elegant. You came up up with ideas I never would have thought of. - Rachel Paxton rachelpaxton.com

It's a pleasure working with you. You are an extraordinarily keen strategist, a wonderful collaborator/brainstormer and a creative editor with a consistently fine ear and eye. You have a laser sharp mind and a loving heart that makes our collaboration exciting and productive. - Naomi Raiselle generationscinemastories.com

 

You helped me through the complications of purchasing a home which needed a great deal of work. You were right there with me throughout the sometimes nerve-wracking process and shared my enthusiasm about the potential of the house, which was not always easy to see! In addition to being a brilliant real estate agent, you are a true asset to the arts community. You have a wonderful eye for art and visual detail and a knack for connecting artists with buyers and home buyers with their dream homes. - Kate True katetrue.com

I appreciate your work with me transitioning from a career exclusively in music publishing to working in community development. Your knowledge of what makes a good presentation and how to write resumes, covers letters and thank-you notes has been a huge help. You've helped me write all three in a way that illustrated how my business and publishing skills could translate into working at a non-profit organization. It's also been great to work with you on finely editing and producing the style manual for Performer and the media kit you worked on emphasized our positioning and increased sales. - William House performermag.com
