My partner and I have worked with multiple therapists in the past, and unfortunately we often felt like we had to remind them of our history and what we were working on; there was never any real sense of progress. With Ingrid, it has been the complete opposite. She is incredibly attentive, present, and genuinely invested in our growth. She remembers the details, follows up on past conversations, and builds on each session in a meaningful way. After every meeting with her, I leave feeling energized, empowered, and truly capable of changing my life and my relationships for the better. Her energy is contagious. ”
The biggest area of growth for us has been communication. Coach Ingrid has given us tools and perspective that have dramatically improved not only our relationship with each other, but also relationships with others in our everyday lives. If you’re looking for a Life Coach or Relationship Coach who is compassionate, insightful, and truly effective, I can not recommend Ingrid highly enough.”

Ingrid’s incorporation of somatic practices and mindfulness have helped me reconnect with my mind/body balance and sense of spirit.”

“I’ve been in recovery 14 years but 3 1/2 years ago I had a bad motorcycle accident, and a lot was going on also personally—Covid, divorce, financial stress, and I relapsed.

“My husband and I were stuck in a negative cycle, so caught up in the to-do lists, tasks, and raising kids that we needed to take a step back.

“Her ability to bring clarity where there is confusion, vitality where there is stagnation, and insight where there is misunderstanding, is remarkable. I can remember a particularly transformative session with her, at a time when I was feeling quite discouraged about communicating to a loved one about a particularly difficult topic. She helped me to clarify my needs, refine my expression of those needs, and gain confidence in my ability to bring it up with authenticity, calm, discernment, and love, so that it could be received without eliciting defensiveness or judgment. Coach Ingrid’s wisdom and thoughtfulness helped me to take a chance for my true connection with this family member, and our relationship benefitted greatly. I am so grateful for Coach Ingrid’s many gifts.”
— Andrea G.
“I would consider myself…someone who learns by reading and studying to solve problems. I’ve read countless relationship books over the years, but none has given me the breakthrough that working with Ingrid has. My relationship was on the verge of ending, and now it’s stronger than ever. The level of intimacy, understanding, and connection we’ve built is deeper than I could have imagined. I will forever be grateful because I was ready to give up. Instead, with the tools and insights that Ingrid gave me, not only was my relationship restored, but every area of my life has been positively impacted.”
— Josh S.
