Client results and experiences
Business growth isn’t linear, and success doesn’t follow a formula. Every client brings their own goals, values, and capacity, so no two outcomes look the same.
What you’ll find here aren’t just shiny wins. These are real stories from real people, shared with the nuance and context that most business spaces leave out.
My hope is that they give you a feel for how I support clients, and the kind of grounded, lasting results that become possible when you stop trying to grow like everyone else and start building a business that works for you—as a whole ass human.
In their own words…
I booked my FIRST project at a new hourly rate after our session. Thank you for giving me the validation to have the confidence to charge this rate!
“My coaching session with Shari was such a positive experience. She held space for me as I expressed the current pain points in my business, and helped me clarify where to go next. She challenged me to rethink my current rates, packages, and lead gen process, and now I feel more confident in raising my prices, and collaborating with other service providers to get my business out to more people.
Shari asked such thoughtful questions, and gave me very practical solutions I can start applying right away. Overall, I loved the balance of being able to express myself honesty and receive validation, while also being challenged to try new things I hadn't previously explored.
I would definitely recommend Shari to help you take your business to that next level...whatever that means for you!”

I am fully booked with clients, my income is recurring, my schedule is manageable, and my to-do list feels achievable.
I loved Shari's emphasis on wellness, balance, and being human. I have two children and a busy life so this really resonated (the extra lux/glam business coach vibes don't feel authentic to me).
In the first 6 months of coaching, I booked 10 six-month coaching clients at my new rates. Her repeated mirroring of my highest desires enabled me to come back to and stand in my decisions and boundaries.
I not only have a deeper trust in my program and prices, but I have a stronger belief that if my boundaries serve me they also serve others.
My business feels more sustainable than ever because I know exactly what works and have complete clarity on where my challenge lies. This saves me so much time and energy, plus I feel far less overwhelmed in the day-to-day of running my business.

I absolutely loved working with Shari. She is a brilliant, empathetic and insightful coach whose approach to coaching is so intuitive.
She doesn't tell you what to do or how to do it, but helps you to uncover and find the solutions within yourself, making the process and the execution that much more powerful. She helps you realize it's all within you.

Thorough, insightful, & respectful coaching
“Although you describe your coaching style as intuitive you do not seem to just automatically assume to understand what I'm saying, but, ask insightful questions to more fully narrow down the meaning. As a stream of consciousness verbal processor this helps me to narrow down some of the ideas, decisions, and challenges I am facing. This really has helped me to process where I am and what I need at this point in the business.”

I’ve learned to trust myself deeply and that I can survive the highs and lows of owning a business.
During our work together, I experienced some tangible results including my second launch of a new program with 40 sign ups for my conversion event and a $15K launch. Through this process, I’ve learned to trust myself deeply and that I can survive the highs and lows of owning a business.
I’ve started to love launching (and launches felt extremely intense in the past), created a strong business structure & well-defined strategy, and developed better boundaries with my clients and business.
It was always important to me to be able to do business my way, and I feel like she truly honored and supported me in that.

I loved how supported I felt during our coaching sessions and during our work together in general. Shari set the container very beautifully so that I always felt secure and safe.
Shari was a good fit for me because I trusted her (which is so important for any coaching relationship), and because she is very strategic and has the ability to ground my sometimes very fiery brain.
My biggest goal and challenge when I started working with her was to sign clients consistently and to come out of the feast and famine cycle in my business.
During our time together, we put together an offer to encourage past clients to work with me again, which worked. And another client re-signed with me as well!
However, the biggest result for me was to fully lean into what my zone of genius is in my business and to re-discover that and feel more anchored in the value I bring to my clients.

Informed and personalized coaching experience
“Out of our 1 hour coaching call, Shari saved me 100 hours in inefficient time I had planned to rebrand the business! She was able to tease out what was a block with my mindset vs. what was a block in the business. She also helped me understand what I benefitted from in the business and how that model would serve me in the future. I walked away with clear priorities that will help me reach my business goals. Overall, it was a game changing conversation that came at the right time, and I would highly recommend Shari for others in my network, as well.”

Her support played a pivotal role in getting my business from low-income (and overworking) months to consistently higher income, a business model that actually works for me, and a sustainable foundation that's going to support my business for years to come.
When I started working with Shari, I was struggling to sign clients, feeling exhausted, and kind of hating my business.
Over the course of 18 months working together, I've had big tangible results: my first $10K month followed by multiple $10K months, getting fully booked, did my first ever launch (and filled my group program!!!).
Shari helped me not just get the results I want — but in a way that's actually going to be sustainable and enjoyable. I really would have missed that and run myself to the ground.

Some of my biggest takeaways from our work together has been learning how to separate my worth from my business and face my perfectionism so I can finally take the action steps that actually move the needle in my business.
Before working with Shari, I felt like I was flailing about and not really sure how to grow my business or sell out my 1:1 coaching. But I was also hesitant to invest in support because it felt like a HUGE amount of money for me.
I started following Shari, and loved her philosophy and approach to business. It felt human. It felt like something I wanted without really knowing how to achieve it.
Together, we worked on creating a really solid foundation for my business to thrive. She gave me tremendous insight in terms of where I was leaving money on the table and helped me to streamline my processes and break things down into actionable, doable steps that felt good to me.
I just did not know at the time that I was missing so many of these foundational pieces and that has been truly eye-opening for me.
I loved how quickly she was able to shift my mindset, and I always left each of our calls feeling more optimistic, energized and excited about my business instead of stressed and overwhelmed. That stood out the most to me. That feeling of: I can do this, I am excited to do this, it's all working!

Smart strategy delivered with care and understanding
“Shari has a knack for taking my disjointed ideas and pulling them together in a simple, strategic way that eliminates all the overwhelm and makes me excited to get to work. I love that I can bring my nitty-gritty practical challenges or mental/emotional issues, and she knows just how to help me reframe and make decisions that align with what I want to create. She may be my daughter, but she’s also genuinely the kind of support I would want in my business.”

If you're desiring someone who is going to meet you where you are as a human and be able to hold all of the shit that comes with being an entrepreneur, I cannot recommend her enough.
When I came to Shari, I already had a solidified business making well over six figures, but I deeply desired to not have to hold everything I was navigating in the business alone.
During our work together, I raised my 1:1 rates to an investment that was more aligned with me and the value my business creates (and signed a new client at this price point!).
I also became more aware of patterns in my business so I could ensure I was making decisions from a good place.
I realized that I have a tendency to want to pull all the levers at once sometimes. And had a huge breakthrough around how much I tend to caretake in life and how that shows up in my business.
If you are on the fence about working with Shari, I highly encourage you to get your ass off the fence (respectfully) and make a move.
If you're desiring someone who is going to meet you where you are as a human, and be able to hold all of the shit that comes with being an entrepreneur, I cannot recommend her enough.

I appreciate her professionalism and ability to work with me to manifest the vision I have for my business. With Shari, I have someone I can rely on and who truly cares about my business as if it were her own.

Shari is incredibly kind and very supportive—but she will also tell you when your ideas are off-track.
“She gave me some exercises to help me focus my message—exercises I didn’t even know I needed. I think that is one of the best things about Shari. She will tell you what you need. At first I said no to a couple of her suggestions, but as we got deeper in the process, her wisdom became clear and I ended up adding some pieces I hadn’t realized would be so effective.
One unanticipated result from working with her was the boost to my self-confidence. We created something really beautiful together.”
