"Mary Beth Shewan changed my life. At
a time when I was very unhappy and wanted a life coach to help me
make career decisions, Mary Beth helped me to realize I needed more
than a new career - I needed a new way of living. Through my
conversations with Mary Beth, I learned so much about myself and who
I had become. That was five years ago. Since then I have
finished my bachelor's degree (at age 42) and started a career that
I love. I now make more than 10 times as much money as I did
before. Mary Beth gave me her words of encouragement every
step of the way and was there to be my 'cheerleader' when I felt
overwhelmed and doubted myself. Mary Beth is also a spiritual
counselor. By that I mean there is a spiritual foundation to
all she does. I was also reexamining my beliefs and faith at
this time, and I found Mary Beth to be a supportive guide on my
spiritual journey. Today, I am a radically different person
than I was five years ago. I have gone from being the
quintessential 'glass half-empty' person to being a positive, upbeat
person who finds happiness in whatever life brings my way.
Mary Beth was a godsend to me at a time when I needed her most, and
I'm sure she would agree when I say I really believe God did send
her to me. I only hope she can reach more and more people and
touch their lives in the way she did mine." Patti Steele,
Grant Writer/Researcher
"I worked with Mary Beth for more than a
year. I chose her from a number of coaches because of her
ability to listen closely, focus immediately, identify, prioritize
and develop a concrete action plan. She is conceptual, but so
much more than academic - or worse, nonacademic - theory. She
is practical, but with the depth and necessary insight that goes far
beyond a paint-by-numbers approach to problem solving. She has
been an invaluable resource to me in my career as a freelance
filmmaker and writer. She has provided constant perspicacity
and navigational aid as I have traversed the often turbulent waters
of the film and television industry - whether the difficulty was a
deal, an interpersonal situation, or simply my own work
habits. But the proof ultimately is in the proverbial
pudding. And for me, that is the fact that I have accomplished
things in the year working with her that I had only talked about
accomplishing in years previous. In the end, it is the
tangible that is the most transformational. Thank you Mary
Beth." Frank Kosa, Filmmaker
"It can be difficult to find a coach when
you are also a professional coach. But, when I went out
seeking a coach for myself, I made a great find in Mary Beth.
I knew that our work together would help me reach the goals I
desired. That was a given. What I didn't expect was the
additional skill I gained AS a coach by being coached by Mary
Beth. She has a great gift of supporting you in a jovial way
that says, 'of course that happened to you! You deserve it!'
Her ability to make your goals (and trust me, mine were/are
always huge) seem
like obvious absolutes, and her ability to help
sort out multiple options for folks like me who are leading a
multifaceted life, are true assets to her clients and the coaching
world. I would recommend Mary Beth to anyone looking for kind,
compassionate support and 'get up and do it' motivation. She
is a great coach and great human being."

"After working with Mary Beth for over a year, I
sometimes wonder how I made some major decisions without her.
Now, when issues come up in my life she lovingly shows me where to
focus and direct my energy so that I do not feel overwhelmed.
Even then she is there to calmly listen and mirror back what I am
saying and feeling in a way that helps me see the picture more
clearly. She is unconditionally loving, compassionate and
knowledgeable and I'm so very thankful that she is in my life.
She has mastered the art of coaching."
Kelli Quinn, Massage
Therapist, Reiki Practitioner
"I contacted Wholelife Coaching
in 2001 for coaching during a time in my life of both career and
relationship transition. I immediately felt that I had met not
only a masterful coach in Mary Beth, but also a kindred
spirit. She is a great listener. She has this wonderful
quality of being able to listen from the heart and hear all that is
and is not spoken. Mary Beth is both compassionate and
insightful. She was able to respond back to me in ways that
validated my true essence and let me know that not only was I
understood, but also truly seen, valued, and appreciated. By
feeling understood, really seen, known, valued, and appreciated for
who I am, I have been able to move forward in my life making
decisions that affirm my true self. Mary Beth brings her
genuine self to her coaching sessions. By showing up candidly
and authentically, it has made me feel like I was and am safe to do
the same in the world. She teaches by her example of 'walking
the talk.' She truly helps uplift all of us along her
path."

"Wholelife Coaching worked with me through the
startup of my coaching practice. I honestly would not be
pursuing this dream were it not for the coaching and business
expertise of the founder, Mary Beth Shewan. She helps me move
forward and encourages my personal growth."
