Calling
Victoria was the best thing I have ever done for
myself. With her gentle guidance, I have reached
into the depths of myself and faced things I didn't
even know were there. She is the only person I am
totally honest with, which in turn has enabled me
to be honest with myself. Revelation after revelation
has helped me to clearly see the path I wish to take
in my life, the courage to pursue my dreams, and
the confidence to see them to fruition. Having Victoria
beside me through this incredible journey is truly
the most precious gift I can give myself.

Through coaching
I have gained the tools and insight to understand that
my choices are what can have the most profound affect
on lifelong happiness. Coaching with Victoria is
what has helped me to uncover the true me. With
the personal insight I have gained from coaching I
have begun living my new life with a new found passion,
inspiration, and wonder. I would recommend coaching
to anyone looking to grow to the next level and improve
their quality of life.

I learned about feminine power being a strong, not
passive, route to better balance. You facilitated connection
in a nurturing, productive atmosphere.
- Ann Christensen
The story circle was great! Seeing
and hearing the transformation of all the retreat sisters!
As always, Victoria struck a great balance between
being the leader and acknowledging the leaders in us
all. As always, a sensitive, intuitive, compassionate
guide! The retreat was a gift of time, space and guidance
to access my wise and present leader within. To touch
and explore that place. To lead in my own life, and
in doing so, create confidence and context to lead
others.

I
learned I’ve never lost
my inner strength, just lost touch with it. This experience
will have a life-changing impact for me – I already
feel that I have altered my path. Victoria’s
exceptional guidance allowed me to touch an inner strength
I’ve been trying to reach for years.
- Charly Alexander, Durango, CO
I
came away with gems that will continue to open and
influence me throughout my life. I really liked the
balance between inner work, silence, reflection, and
sharing and fun, free expression. This was a deep experience
for me, some invaluable insights emerged. I believe
this experience will continue to unfold in my life. Thanks
for putting together such a powerful retreat.
- Judy Gerhardt
You put on a
wonderful, meaningful retreat. I was in awe of your
ability to gently keep the circle on track and yet
allow each of us freedom of expression. Victoria’s
combining the elements of that special valley, the
meditations, the Kiva experience and visualization
techniques all allowed me to reconnect to flow, to
tap back into my faith and gratitude. Plus 3 delicious
meals a day – what more could a body and spirit
want?

Victoria’s warm laughter, intuitive vision and direct communication have shifted my life. She consistently creates an environment where I feel safe to remove my masks and set free my authentic spirit.

I was reminded
how very important it is in my life to ‘paddle
my own boat”. This retreat gave me an opportunity
to step outside of the lockstep of daily life and re-vision
my life against the magnificent backdrop of the Colorado
River.

The Living from your Soul retreat for me was the ultimate launching pad for a personal soul journey. My mind was opened to an array of unique paths in which to explore and expand awareness of my place in this world. Blue Lake Ranch is a stunning, nurturing and still place to renew and seek. Victoria graciously created a truly sacred space that allowed each woman to search and free her soul in complete protection. The weekend was an invaluable experience that I treasure deep in my heart, and I recommend it to any woman regardless of beliefs or fears! Thank you again Victoria for everything - you have helped give me my life back!

My coaching relationship with Victoria has created a dynamic foundation for personal, professional and spiritual growth. With her invaluable support and guidance, I have reached a new and refreshing level of clarity, focus and determination to cultivate the life of my dreams. Our coaching process offers a safe space where I can go deeper within myself to a place of exploration, learning, embracing possibilities, and making choices that resonate with my spirit. Victoria’s unwavering commitment to nurturing my highest self and her remarkable talent as a passionate coach have empowered me to claim more of my potential and feel the joy of honoring my authentic self. I feel blessed to be experiencing my life in a more meaningful way, and I have a much deeper appreciation for the journey. When I reflect on the energy that our coaching brings to my life, my heart feels full of warmth and gratitude.
-Carrie Sue Garber, Durango, CO
As always, you show up with the right words to support me in my journey. Finishing certification is just a start to new beginnings for me- I can feel it! I'm still not sure where the coaching will lead me yet I know I AM sitting taller in the saddle because of my inner journey and work we accomplished together. You are a superb coach and wish I had someone like you as a friend here in Whitefish. However, you have opened the door for me to allow that to happen!
I am most proud of awakening my True Self. I am more relaxed, more comfortable in my own skin, more focused, more playful and bold, more committed to be challenged around personal growth. I love who I am and who I am becoming. I am riding into a southwest sunset, singing with ease, with the wind blowing through my hair!
- Rox Rogers, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, Whitefish, MT |
Taking the Living from Your Soul Retreat was the best gift I’ve given myself in a long time! A stunning location, a wide variety of activities and reflection, and Victoria – an intuitive and insightful guide, created a special weekend of growth and magic.
- Penny Wanger, Durango, CO
You have been so great to work with – I love that I can be fully expressive with you. I appreciate your non-judgment, your reminding me of my potential when I doubt it myself, your use of imagery and metaphors land perfectly for me, and your humour and brassiness :)
-Grace Yvonne Attard, Toronto, Canada |
Working with Victoria my overall sense is that we are working together towards uncovering the “real” me. Not that we’re changing who I am but that I am learning to “own” who I already am and who I want to be.
With Victoria’s guidance I gained clarity about who I want to be – a self reliant, strong, positive woman living in alignment with my values and seeing life through perspectives that are life-enhancing and generate success (spiritual, physical, financial, emotional) for myself and whomever I come into contact with. Victoria’s support empowered me to move closer to being that woman and allowed me to view that as who I am becoming.
Probably most importantly of all I feel more spiritually awake – more aware of who I am “really” – a spiritual being – a bundle of energy with the capacity to connect with the universal energy flow if I but allow this to happen.
I will be forever grateful for the part Victoria has played and will continue to play in my life – her insights, encouragement, and belief in me have been invaluable. She has provided me with tools that when I remember to apply them are life-changing. Thank you Victoria!!!!
Oops one more thing: My other thought is that one of the things about coaching that is most effective is the accountability. What I appreciate about how you ask for accountability is that it’s never heavy-handed, never scolding or punishing or guilt inducing but somehow you hold me accountable in a positive way. I always felt you accepted me 100% even if I failed to come through. I was never made to feel I had failed. Your gentle patience and pushing just hard enough is a gift. You’ve helped me trust myself so much more and I love you for that!
Thanks for everything!

Those 5 days on the River Retreat were wonderful, adventurous, exhilerating, enlightening and increased my aliveness a thousand times. I look forward to the future whatever it holds. I love you all and miss you already. Please stay in touch!

What was my favorite part of the Quest retreat? Everything has been really great - from the environment to the cooking to the singing, the rituals, sharing, and the learning. I particularly appreciate you bringing us back to the realm of spirituality with your singing and your guidance on rituals. And people! All the participants have been truly fantastic and created a very special environment for sharing, shedding, learning, and growing.
And Victoria? Her Love is the very foundation for us to take this inward journey together. Her courage, her vision and her communication skills are the fabric that holds this process together. Victoria is truly an inspiration.
- Joyce Wong, Tucson, AZ
Victoria helped me envision my future and get myself in gear, with the tools of the Sovereignty Circles to clear out obstacles that held me back. I highly recommend this powerful group journey forward into one's true selfhood.
- Jess Leggett, Durango, CO
Every day fond memories stay with me of our time on the Quest Retreat in New Mexico. It really was transformative for me. Experiencing these exercises with a group of people is very different than sitting in my bedroom! The support and compassion of so many amazing women seems to make the healing and reflection easier, deeper. Perhaps more than anything is the access that I gained through your amazing leadership to my divine goddess. I feel kind of woo-woo-ey saying that. Where are my purple scarves and wizard hat? But its true. The work that you led us through at Vallecitos helped me see more clearly the power and clarity of my own guidance system. Only I know what's best for me. The space that you held for me so steadfastly helped me see that.
