What People Are Saying

Curious about what it would be like working with me? Check out these reviews from clients who have worked with me in the past.

“I was feeling stifled due to some confidence issues and needed to work through it with a coach. After working with Ivana, I now have tools to support me when I am feeling these old patterns creep in. I'm proud that I have found my voice and realize the strengths that I bring to the table.”

Carla Hart

“When I heard Ivana speak at a panel it was like a light bulb went off. I thought, 'This is a person who is speaking to my soul.' When I realized that the development plans and goal setting at work weren't cutting it for me, I signed up for coaching because I knew I needed to take control of my own experience and needed someone who I could trust to be real with.”

“My question coming into coaching with Ivana was "What should I be doing with my life?" I was feeling unaligned, burnt out, and unprepared to step out into the next chapter that I felt was calling me. Our sessions helped me thaw out the rough barrier that was preventing me from doing what I really wanted to do which was write. I'm really proud of myself for being vulnerable and doing the work it took to admit it and follow through.”

“I seriously wouldn't have made it this far without your coaching! You asked the hard questions and encouraged me to work towards my goal every single day. You helped me realize the confidence and bravery that was already inside of me.”

“Ivana is brilliant, supportive, and kind. In our coaching process, I felt like she helped me to understand myself better, without putting her own agenda on me. This collaboration has made me feel more confident in my choices, and has helped me feel more understood and more seen in my professional career journey.”

Former Client

“I wasn’t sure I needed a coach when I sat with Ivana for our trial session. After hearing more about coaching and the process, I was eager to get started and do the work to get where I wanted to go. My ultimate goals were to understand my triggers and develop ways to be present for my family! With the help of Ivana, I have a clearer perspective and understanding of what I need and want in order to live to my potential.”

Heather Wiegner

“I came to Ivana after many years of trying to get myself 'unstuck' in my career and next location move. I was hoping to find a sounding board to articulate my perception of the issue, and get transparent, practical steps to take action. Ivana did just that! She was a great listener and helped me isolate the core issues I was solving for, and lay out a time-based plan to solve for them.”

"I don't believe there is anyone who wouldn't benefit from the opportunity to sit with Ivana and reflect on themselves. A lot of people usually seek out these tools when they are in crises but it is equally or even more powerful to the work when things are working, because then you can consciously replicate the habits that are serving you!"

Catherine Bowen

“After working with Ivana, I feel confident in the plans I have made for my work and my life. I also feel more in control of how I mentally approach challenges that arise."
