I Was Struggling With Panic Attacks And Debilitating Anxiety

When we first connected, I was struggling with panic attacks and debilitating anxiety. These symptoms caused me to feel trapped and unable to step back and make decisions that aligned with where I wanted to be in the future.

I hadn't worked with a coach before, only many therapists, so I didn't know what to expect. I remember feeling nervous to start our first session and curious about what Lavinia would be like! After our consultation, my husband and I were convinced that working with you was something we needed to invest in.

Now that we have finished working together, wow, where to start?! Through coaching I was able to calm my nervous system enough to heal and think about how my anxiety had control over my life.

My relationship with my mother improved immensely and the coaching sparked numerous fruitful conversations between us. There's less pressure on my spouse since I was able to heal childhood wounds.

I eventually felt strong enough to leave my corporate job of 4 years and start my own business, something I believed I'd not be able to do for decades. Having flexibility in my day-to-day schedule then made it possible for me to try to self-regulate rather than relying on medication.

I surprised myself the most during the series by how badly my inner child needed affirmation and confidence. I still think it's funny how Lavinia would suggest something mind-blowing and I would act on it so quickly after years of feeling paralyzed by my thoughts and feelings. It surprised me how much I needed a coach and someone like her to help me heal enough to make decisions together!

My biggest learning was that anxiety had become a way for my body to speak up for itself. I wasn't giving it any margin unless it was hitting the panic button.

I absolutely 100% think that the coaching series was good value, given what I got out of it. It was honestly beyond what I expected.

You rock Lavinia! My husband and I are forever thankful for you working with me and your gifts.
