The benefits of working with Aimee are MANY! I had the chance to go on this amazing journey in a very loving, non-judgmental and supportive space where I could be acknowledged and heard. Each session I uncovered something new and I found myself opening doors that I didn’t even know were possible. The results are better than what I could have expected or even predicted – I am on a new trajectory that honors who I am as a person. I am inspired by all that I have discovered and cannot wait for what’s next!

Before working with Aimee I was tolerating working in a job that at one time was wonderful but I felt like I had reached the end of the road and was feeling “stuck.” Now, I feel inspired again – at times even giddy – for a career that is perfect for me.

The 3 most significant improvements/breakthroughs in my life/business thanks to Aimee and her program are . . .

• I feel like I have reconnected to myself, and its a strong connection that is unshakeable.
• I have found the perfect career for me – I know what I’m going to be doing for the next 20 years.”
• I have a renewed passion for life. Friends and family can sense my enthusiasm and have commented that my story has inspired THEM to take a look at closer look at what they are doing.

“My advice for those thinking of working with Aimee . . .”

This is by far one of the best gifts I ever gave to myself. I really felt like I was at a point in my life where self-reflection wasn’t enough. I needed to work through my obstacles with someone who was going to push me beyond my comfort zone to see who I was meant to be. I found the answers to all my questions and worrying – Aimee was exactly what I needed and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I have been working with Aimee for just a couple of months. In this short amount of time, Aimee has helped me more than many, many years of therapy ever did! I actually felt this after only the first session of Aimee’s workshop which I attended.

Before working with Aimee, I was feeling very stuck in my existence, in my business and my personal life. I had lost my connection with my Self and my Higher Power. My comfort zone had become so comfortable that it was now uncomfortable. I needed to move beyond this place.

Enter Aimee Yawnick. What Aimee has given me (that therapy never did) is real, practical tools to use in my everyday life that have completely shifted my very “being”. In our sessions, she asks the necessary questions that allow me to see me. I am learning more than ever about my Self and how my beliefs (and those about myself) and my way of thinking have been preventing me from realizing my full potential.

Breakthroughs!

• I am experiencing a new excitement and confidence to move forward in my  life.
• I have powerful affirmations to replace my old limiting beliefs.
• I am calmer and I am finding peace of mind.
• I have a renewed faith and trust that were so sadly missing for a very long time.
• I am living my life, ready to move on to bigger and better in my business, home and personal life.

And, as this wonderful and amazing transformation is taking place, I have Aimee’s gentle, wise and loving guidance by my side. I am so grateful.

My advice: if you are presented with the opportunity to work with Aimee, TRUST that the universe has brought you a very special gift in the form of this truly special woman.

Deciding to work with Aimee was one of the most valuable presents I could have given to myself. Over the past few months, our journey together has helped me open myself to those energies in the universe that were meant for me to absorb and improve my existence dramatically.

I claimed my lost self, my strength and my right to start pursuing the things I want; the things that make me who I am and what I want to become. Aimee has an unmatched ability to hear my inner self, connect with me and provide solutions to my issues by asking the right questions; the solutions stem from my own values and beliefs.  In other words, Aimee has made me see that everything is possible as long as I believe in myself. If this is not brilliance, I don’t know what is. Viva la Aimee!

Before working with Aimee, I was in the verge of turning into a bitter, unsatisfied, miserable person. I had ended my long-term relationship, I didn’t like my work and I felt that I was not getting the things I wanted out of life. I had lost my sense of direction and felt that I had hit a dead end. I simply did not have the confidence to step out of this vicious circle and claim my humanity.

Then, little by little, I learned ways to work through challenging situations, manage negative energy, set goals and identify steps to achieve them, discipline myself and most importantly, start living again! It was amazing to see the transformation that started taking place in me with each session. Many times I felt like jumping out of the sofa and doing my own little victory dances!

The 3 most significant improvements/breakthroughs in my life/business thanks to Aimee and her program are . . .

• I have strengthened my self-confidence significantly. I acquired clarity of thought and I am now more able to express what I want to others more lucidly.
• I became more optimistic, serene, and positive. I know now that the universe holds great things for me, as long as I participate actively in making them happen.
• I have become more disciplined and able to identify the steps I need to take to achieve my goals.

My advice for those thinking of working with Aimee . . . Do not hesitate, just do it. It’s an investment that will last you longer than a pair of Manolos for sure . And you deserve it. But you need to be prepared and able to do the work.

Last year was an incredibly tough year. My real estate business was being directly affected by the economy and I had started a second business in the anti-aging market. In the midst of this, I had personal issues when a long term relationship broke up and my mother was diagnosed with Colon Cancer and was dependent on me. I was overwhelmed and drained but still believed I should be able to do it all.

A friend suggested I speak with Aimee, more as a networking opportunity than anything else. I was skeptical as during my career, I have been approached by many people claiming to be a personal coach, a career coach, a life coach, etc. I never felt that they could add value to my career, my life or me as a person. I always thought I can do it myself. Many people claim to do it but few have the innate ability and passion. Then I met Aimee! Life is fascinating. It throws the right people in your path when you least expect it!

What an amazing journey I have had! Imagine a journey where you are able to claim your power . . . to become the woman you are meant to be! This is what Aimee’s Coaching does. Aimee acts as facilitator of brilliance. Allowing you to tap into your power to drive your business, enjoy your life and fulfill your destiny.

The 3 most significant improvements/breakthroughs in my life/business thanks to Aimee and her program are:

• Acceptance that I am incredible, powerful and beautiful!
• I am open to the Universe providing me with what I ask for – It does!
• There are incredible days and ‘interesting’ days where the gremlins will try to pull you back into old behaviors! I now know how to deal with them! Both the gremlins and the challenging days.

My advice for those thinking of working with Aimee . . . Enjoy the Trip!

I am so grateful I took the leap of faith and hired Aimee. Before working with Aimee, I felt as though I was in limbo because I was constantly waiting for the next big thing to come along. I couldn’t find satisfaction in any area of my life.

The three most significant breakthroughs in my life since working with Aimee have been:
After surviving a lay off, I have been able to move forward in my career and not worry that my job is always at jeopardy. I know any company would be lucky to have me work for them.
I have re-established my relationship with money, which means I am no longer scared when I pay bills.  That by spending this money, I won’t have any for future needs.

I am finding new ways to identify peace and happiness in my daily life.

My advice for people who are thinking of working with Aimee is to go for it! You deserve to do this for yourself.

“Aimee is amazing! With her wise, kind counsel, she helped coach me from a place of feeling “stuck” and consistently putting my families’ needs before my own, to a place of empowerment and action. She provided the tools to help me to be able to work through tough challenges in a much more positive manner.

Before working with Aimee, I would just move on through challenges without dealing with them. I’d feel stuck and felt like I no longer had a plan for me. Then, I learned to work through challenges (which had a much more positive outcome) and also came up with a plan for me to move forward in some really exciting ways!

Thanks to my work with Aimee, I am now able to ask for what I want and have it come back to me. Maybe not always in the way I expected it but there have been some amazing things that have happened. I am empowered and have an exciting, energizing plan to move forward. I have literally felt my energy shift after hard work with Aimee. She challenged me and encouraged me to work through the roadblocks instead of just going around or ignoring them.

My advice for those thinking of working with Aimee . . . You can only gain by talking to her to see to see if she is a good fit for you. It was money very well spent and it is a very worthwhile investment in your SELF. Aimee has been an invaluable resource to me! Working with her has benefited not only me, but my family.”

“I have been a successful manager with my company for 17 years. I’m a working mother of two and a devoted wife. My professional world has been significant in building my confidence and self esteem. Success in the workplace notably contributes to who I am and how I feel.

While my company was happy with my performance, I was not. I realized that I wasn’t learning or doing anything different. I didn’t feel like I was making a significant impact in the performance of my departments. Keep in mind, I have built a reputation for problem solving and yet I just couldn’t clearly see what needed to be done. I could not identify what needed to happen to turn the dial into “high impact”. I felt, beige.

I had heard about Life Coaches but I thought they were for people who had a lot of time and a lot of money. I guess I didn’t expect that a Life Coach would be able to introduce “tools” that when used, had instant results.

I remember my very first session with Aimee. She gave me two tools that I put into practice right away. I could see evidence of success from these tools on day one. I love instant gratification – and WOW this was instant!

Aimee helps me identify what’s not working – fast. Before Aimee, I would spend huge amounts of time trying to identify the issue(s), the frustrations in my life. Forget about fixing them…I couldn’t determine what they were. Aimee’s coaching takes the fog right out of things. She helps you see things clearly. Once the fog is removed, it becomes easy to go into action.

Shortening the gap between “something isn’t working” and “here’s what I need to do” is priceless and it’s what Aimee provides. Her coaching/mentoring feels good and right. After our coaching sessions, I feel revitalized. My coaching sessions with Aimee are building something very powerful – my SELF.

My results have been powerful too! Within 90 days of coaching, my company gave me a new area of responsibility, completely designed to grow, me! Ha! My two departments that I oversee have hit budgeted revenue for the last 3 months. Ha! Ha!

My home life, while still incredibly active (with two working parents and two toddlers) is thriving. The phone calls between my husband and I that were once filled with “…where are the ballet tights?” and “…did you re-schedule the dentist appointments?”…Are now filled with “…just thinking of you…I hope your meeting goes well”.

My advice for those thinking of working with Aimee is to get inquisitive, be curious. Get more information and pick up the phone and schedule a get acquainted session. I sound a little like an infomercial, but I truly believe you will know if this is right for you after that call. I recommend Aimee Yawnick to women looking for life to be graceful, happy and productive. Women looking to add the vitality back into their lives!”

“Before working with Aimee I was very much out of touch with myself. I never took the time to let my real self come out and I always took care of others’ needs and wants before my own. It wasn’t until a tragedy in my personal life hit and there I was, with all these emotions and feelings and I didn’t know the first thing about how I was going to deal with them. I could help others but not myself.

I remember the moment so clearly; it had been a week after I had returned from my leave from work after this tragic event and stress started to set in. I told Aimee “I just want to scream!” and she said, “Do it! What’s stopping you?” I realized for the first time I was stopping me, no one else, I was getting in my own way.

For probably the first time I let someone (Aimee) see the real me, vulnerable and lost. Working with Aimee has brought me from the very depths of despair to a place now where I am very confident in myself and I can take care of me. It has brought me success in my personal and professional life. I can manage both separately and still have time for just “me”. My husband and I are closer than ever, I am more open and honest with him about my real feelings. It has also made me a more effective manager. My communication is clear and I am not afraid of what others will think. When crises come up now I have the confidence in myself that even though it may not work to the way I need it to work I am OK with it.

Aimee said to me one day, “Learn from the lesson so you don’t find yourself back in the same place again.” I do. I remind myself of this often in my personal and professional life.

I am so confident now that sometimes I find that I am laughing at myself because this is a new me!”

“Before working with Aimee, I was at a major transition point in my life. I had just left behind twenty-five years of working in medical laboratory science to become a massage therapist. I was wasting a lot of precious energy worrying and second-guessing myself. Energy that would be better spent creating my new life and business. I needed to trade the anxious “what ifs” for a “why not” sense of adventure.

I often felt Aimee heard what I was saying before I did. Her intuition is right on. Each tool she gave me had an engaging and fun aspect to it that appealed to my creative side. If the assignments had felt like “one more thing to get done” I would not have spent the time I did to really develop the skills they were designed to demonstrate. I also really appreciated Aimee’s willingness to adjust the pace of the coaching to satisfy my needs.

Since working with Aimee, I have far more control of my emotionals and energy. I’m much more focused on what I really want for my business rather than what the next step might be from a standard business model. I have fun with the adventure of my business and life instead of getting in my own way fretting about what to do next.”

“The most valuable part of coaching with Aimee is that I am pushing myself to tackle things I would normally put “on the back burner.” Aimee has helped me achieve results that I knew were achievable, but didn’t quite know how to achieve them. It is not easy. She doesn’t just give you the answers. She guides you to improve, succeed and push yourself as far as you want to go. If you are up for a challenge to improve your business or relationships—hire Aimee.”

(Business Owner – Mother of three)

“Before we started our work together, I thought a coach would have all the answers – you’d help find the right job for me, decide whether my relationship was working and tell me how to handle my anxiety.

But you never positioned yourself to have all of the answers. You told me from the start that I had the power to figure these things out myself, to confront my concerns and take action. You never once told me what you thought was best for me – you helped me reflect, decide what is important to me, and take action.

You have this amazing ability to listen, because you always ask the right questions – this allows you to draw out feelings, meaning or significance from something I’m having a hard time communicating.

You have such a warm presence, and you exude sincerity. I feel like I’m talking to my friend rather than my coach, counselor, advisor. You are full of life and your energy is contagious.

You urged me to be true to myself and my feelings; you helped me believe in myself again. Since we started our work together, I’ve found a great new job, bought my first house, and gained clarity around my relationship that has helped bring it to the next level.”
~ Nicole K. ~
(Marketing Director)

“You have the unique ability to listen powerfully, while silently identifying the “blind spots” that stop me from moving in a desired direction. Even better, you’re then able to position ME to see those obstacles and then solve them. I’ve become a better leader in my profession by gaining new insights in how to coach others.

“Aimee doesn’t need to know the whole, complicated history of the issue that you want to take on personally or professionally. She does a fabulous job deconstructing the issue, and moving you past it. Aimee is empowering, supportive . . . and holds you accountable.”

(General Manager – Single dad)

“Coaching with Aimee is like having the best business partner you could imagine; she truly wants to see you succeed. She asks exactly the right questions to get you to think a little differently or outside your comfort zone. She has given me the tools to help me figure out the path that I want to be on.”
~ Laurie M. ~
(Entrepreneur – Single mother of two)

“The most valuable part of coaching with Aimee is her ability to help me see situations in new ways. Her insight, compassion and enthusiasm are immensely valuable. Since coaching with Aimee, I am able to put energy into areas of my life that need it, I am more balanced, and I am better at time managing. If you would like to be more confident, have a deeper well of resources within yourself, and are looking for ways to make positive changes in your life, then work with Aimee!”
