My work with Libby has been transformational. I'm learning how to hold space and listen to my partners without trying to find a solution or fix the problems. This skill has strengthened my parenting skills as well.
Overall, we've had less turmoil, and my energy has not constantly been drained due to ongoing miscommunication and texting arguments.
I would say she's been the best coach that I've ever had and worth the investment!

I feel like a completely different person. I feel much more aware of how I deal with interpersonal conflict. I feel much more empowered around identifying my needs, I have more confidence in making them known and in making sure they are met.

“I'm no longer afraid to feel my feelings. I'm able to sit with them and discuss with them what they are trying to tell me. It has helped me not only understand myself better, but it has allowed me to feel more of everything I'm involved in. It's opened me up to a new level of emotional engagement. Learning that being authentic about myself is always the best course, no matter how uncomfortable, is what led me to where I am now. I am incredibly thankful to Libby for this insight and encouragement, it has changed my life in the best possible way.”

“Libby is a brilliant coach: she is smart and experienced and professional, and she is also committed to her clients. She knows how to point to or shine a light on what is inconsistent in a person's way of being and behaving with their desired outcomes while also being supportive and having a person know she is behind them. Libby will serve you in a powerful way. You can count on her.”

“Coaching helped me learn to slow down and take breaks when needed, and helped me think a bit more about the other person's emotional space - what might be causing them to act like they are. It also helped me make progress on clearly defining my own boundaries and not being afraid to express them. I truly appreciate the work [Libby and I] did together and believe I am a better person and better at relating than I was before our work together.”

““[Libby] really cared about us and got to know us. [She has a] really deep understanding of polyamory, and TONS of empathy for everyone struggling to do it, which is REALLY hard to do. Libby empathizes with all the different positions that a person might be coming from.”
— Luke
“Libby's ability to listen and cut through the noise to help identify the root issue is really impressive, and exactly what we need. Truly, Libby provided much needed, life-changing relief to us, and useful tools to help us break this painful cycle we’ve been stuck in. I cannot thank her enough. I don’t think it would be overly dramatic to say she saved our marriage.”
— M. M.
“I knew immediately that I found my person, someone I could relate to and confide in and feel comfortable working with on some very real, private, personal experiences. What I liked about working with Libby was that I felt listened to, supported, and encouraged. It was like talking with a friend each week and I looked forward to all of our sessions. She sympathized with me when I was struggling and she cheered me on when I came to her ready to celebrate my progress and accomplishments.”

I can always scurry back to Libby when I am stuck. This gives me new bravery to take my life on. I don’t feel alone and hopeless in my relationships like I used to; my net is wider with Libby in my corner…. I tell people who ask me. “I LOVE working with her.” She is truly skilled, believes in de-colonizing [wellness] (a must for me), is on her own personal cutting edge, and hangs out with me on mine.”

“If you and your partner know in your hearts that you don't want to break up, but you feel you've reached a stalemate, give Libby a try.”

“Libby is extremely skilled at getting to the bottom of complicated feelings about relationships... I have a much clearer idea of why I feel the way I do, and I specifically have a better understanding of how experiences in my past influence how I approach relationships in my present. Even more importantly, I have a better understanding of what I need to feel truly comfortable in my relationship. I feel more secure in my relationship and more able to communicate my wishes to my partner.”
— Christine H.
“Libby can 100% help you! Libby has an amazing way of cutting through the bullshit story and get to the nugget of what you’re saying or how you’re feeling. She is so much more helpful than any therapy has ever been for me. Libby’s approach is to give you tools to help you work through your relationship challenge. This was exactly what we needed.”

“My husband and I chose to open up our marriage after 20 years together and the old scripts and communication tools no longer seemed to fit our experiences or our goals. I also had a lot of religious influence from being raised in a conservative evangelical family, that I wanted to untangle for myself. I needed a kind and gentle mentor and guide, and Libby fit the job description perfectly!”
— Heather T.
“[Libby] is honest, direct and unafraid to push into hard conversations and hold people accountable. [Libby] does all this while ensuring a safe and balanced space for everyone involved. I felt like she really could be tough and gentle at the same time and didn't let things slide. Libby saved my marriage in many ways. Yes we did the hard work, showed up, got vulnerable, were willing to try new things. AND I don't know if we could have gotten there without her!”
— Shandra S.
"Libby was amazing. She gets deep into the root of problems. She was so insightful with real life experience that translated into solid and constructive support."
— Nick S.
“I was having nightly panic attacks and lost my sense of security. It was negatively effecting my health. Libby gave us Real life solutions to real life problems. She actually gave us ideas on how to honor ourselves and checking into each body part - and asking it how it felt and what it wanted - for me that was just Brilliant. Now my husband and I live in greater harmony. When times of disharmony will arise; we now have new tools to address these issues. We have a sense of accomplishment and new excitement to what our lives hold in exploring ENM.”
