Anne helps people become authentically strong
“Working with Anne was like a breath of fresh air. After the first session, I already felt a sense of relief. She is an expert at helping people become more authentically strong in the world. Her deep listening and powerful questions about my living situation, relationship life, and work were amazing. She pulled me up when I needed it and helped me to refocus on my life purpose for myself and my business. No matter how busy or stressful life gets, I come away from each session knowing that I’m still moving forward. Anne helps me keep my vision alive and that gives me peace of mind. I’m very grateful for Coach Anne!”

Gentle and compassionate yet pushes me
“Anne is a great listener and gives me plenty of time to process information as we’re talking. She asks the right questions and makes me think on a deeper level. She is gentle and compassionate but still manages to push me outside my comfort zones at times, which I know is the only way to grow.”
Lisa Cousinea
Online Retail Art Supplies Business Owner and Creative Spirit
I never expected to talk to her about what I did
“Anne is a wonderful listener who is very easy to talk to and very open. I never expected to talk to her about what I did, as it is a sensitive topic for me. Coaching enabled me to identify issues to be addressed, come up with a plan to address those issues, and lose that feeling of being overwhelmed with a problem or problems. As a result of coaching, I learned that I am content in my current situation. Anne is a caring and non-judgmental person and a real giver. I’d feel very comfortable recommending her – you’d be lucky to have her as a coach!”

Equal parts wise intuitive and skilled coach

Deep and “spot on” intuition plus compassion
“Anne has a deep and very “spot on” intuition. She trusts it and feels strongly that part of our personal growth is trusting our own intuition. I learned from Anne to trust my gut, an invaluable lesson. Anne helped me navigate some rough times in my life as she stood by me every step of the way as I excavated my own answers to the questions raised. Anne is compassionate and listens to the emotions and intentions behind every word. She is clever and funny which helped keep some dark times a bit lighter. She will guide you on your journey and help you see things you had no idea were there and then help you use the gifts and lessons presented in living your life full out. She know when to press and when to back off. She is respectful and loving. In a word, she is a MASTER coach in my mind as well as a terrific human being. I am profoundly grateful for her wisdom and belief in me.”

Professional, intuitive, with kindness and heart
“Anne is an extremely professional, thoughtful, and intuitive coach. Her ability to read between the lines, get to the heart of the matter, and then guide her clients to new and more constructive perspectives is what sets her apart from other coaches. Paired with a keen intellect and a razor sharp wit, plus boat loads of kindness and heart, Anne is truly one in a million. I highly recommend Anne as a coach. Your view of the world will never be the same.”
Nell DeVito

Anne is a natural coach and an intuitive leader
“Anne is a natural coach and one who brings a wealth of experience, personal depth, and agility to her clients. While I got to know her at the beginning of her formal journey with CTI, she did not show up as a beginner at all, but rather as a leader who intuitively understands what it is to be a true coach and who is in 100% without hesitation.”

Coaching with Anne has been life changing!
“It is my great joy to recommend Coach Anne Gaal. The coaching I have received from her has been nothing short of life changing. She supported me throughout my professional coach certification journey and still coaches me to this day [at the time he wrote this]. Our time together has produced a profound and positive shift for me. Not only as a coach but also in my every day life. Anne is generous with encouragement and celebrations but also has a laser like way of helping me see where I might be holding myself back. It’s fair to say that, because of her coaching and mentoring, I have had a full and overflowing roster of coaching clients from day one. And she achieves all of this in a warm, strong, matter-of-fact way that always makes me feel safe, heard, valued, and transformed. Okay. Anne is magical. There. I said it.”

Rock Star coach who is wise, creative, and fun
“It was a real delight to work with Anne through the process of attaining my Professional Coaching Certification. As my direct Certification Coach, Anne co-created with me a wonderful learning environment where the coaching process could be thoroughly explored, and she did a simply fantastic job of ‘Modeling the Model.’ Her support, encouragement (and) the awesome example she set as a Coach herself really were invaluable to me. Anne is quite simply a ‘Rock Star’ coach that I would recommend highly to any future Certification students or to anyone who could be supported by her wise, creative, fun and passionate Coaching style. A++ Anne!”

I always felt her respect and compassion
“Anne and I were in a group coaching certification program together, and her support, guidance, and bright spirit brought such richness to the experience. When she coached us, Anne was such an advocate for positive exploration and growth. I felt instantly connected to her, and I always felt her respect and compassion while she challenged me to have a new way of thinking. She has touched my life and I am forever grateful.”
