Coaching Testimonials
CLIENTS WHO WORK WITH DAVINA REPORT:
"Working with Davina as a life coach has been an extraordinary, highly positive experience. After a very big life shakeup, she helped me refocus and move on, despite my fears. She did this using a variety of tools: exercises, guided imagery, assignments (generated by me!), and, mostly, through listening carefully, asking the right questions, and nudging me gently onto my own path. Davina works from an intuition developed from years of experience, and she provides deep insight, acceptance, and, always, encouragement. I would recommend her to anybody. I got results."
--Ericka Lutz, Author, Teacher, Writing Coach"Coaching with Davina Kotulski helped me immensely in both my professional and personal life. With Davina's supportive coaching techniques I improved my relationships with colleagues, created work/life balance, celebrated the joys in my life and was able to minimize challenges. I now love my job and have a wonderful relationship with my supervisor and feel appreciated for the contributions I make in my professional community. This has resulted in more free time to spend with my partner, as well as time to create and sell my art on the side. I highly recommend Davina Kotulski. Working with her was a transformative experience that helped me get my life back on track ." --Mandy Benson
"Davina is a phenomenal coach. She was in my corner, rooting for me and holding high expectations for me, even when I doubted myself. She is both empathic and yet at the same time did not indulge my fears. We did exercises which pushed me out of my comfort zone and got me to take action in my life in unexpected ways that continue to inspire me. As a visual artist and a spiritual seeker, I need someone who can speak my language and also guide me out of my self-created woods. Davina was consistently available when I felt lost or I just needed someone who could 'hold space' for my greatness. I have taken professional steps and increased my productivity in ways I could not have done without her specifically targeted support and advice.

Our lives were at a crossroads so we signed up for couples coaching
"Our lives were at a crossroads - we wanted and needed to relocate our family of four (with two 1-year olds) from Sacramento to Santa Rosa. While we were established in Sacramento, health issues for our children, the need for family support and a more liberal environment, meant relocating was essential. We knew we had to make a change, but change meant leaving our established jobs, finding a new house and new employment with comparable salaries, and connecting with a new community. This was a daunting goal, and we knew we needed help. We were fortunate enough to have brunch with Davina one day; she told us about her life coaching profession and couples coaching, and we signed up right away! Ten sessions later, we both had great jobs with incredible flexiblity that allows us to be active and involved parents, a wonderful home, and a personal and professional support network. We also gained a newfound confidence - we can achieve any goal! Honestly, we weren't sure what a life coach could do for us and there was an element of skepticism, but we trusted Davina and we were willing to try. We are now believers! For anyone out there also at a crossroads, know that Davina is there to help you realize your dreams. We cannot believe how much we accomplished in such little time, with her as our fearless leader. Thank you, Davina. Dreams do come true!"
--Ashle and Kinna Crocker, Married professionals with twins
"Davina is exceptionally perceptive and analytical in the moment. She listened to me describe some of my goals and dreams. Then, asking positive, careful questions encouraged me to navigate powerfully through the uncharted waters and foul weather that had made those dreams seem out of reach. Davina saw something there is no way I would have seen. It was a powerful conversation for me and I felt powerful from it. I walked away with a very short term plan of action that set in motion a new way of living. And that was just one-session!
I wholeheartedly recommend Davina and think this kind of coaching would be valuable to anyone."
--A.M. Entrepreneur
"Wow, not only am I now a believer in the value of coaching, but my experience with Davina really showed me how well suited she is in doing it. She effectively helped me pinpoint the things holding me back from my goals and facilitated developing a straightforward plan to attain them!"

One session with Dr. Kotulski did for me what 2 years of psychotherapy didn’t!"
"One coaching session with Dr. Kotulski has made a profound impact in my life. That session did for me in just 30 minutes what 2 years of psychotherapy didn’t! Since that session, my self-confidence has increased tremendously and I worked towards many of my goals in such a short time frame.
Dr. Kotulski has this unique talent for being incredibly warm, open, and accepting, making one instantly feel comfortable. Her insight into a person is indescribable and a powerful tool to help others gain insight into their struggles. Not only have I made personal changes, but other realms of my life I was concerned about (career, relationships, health) have improved significantly. Thank you, Dr. Kotulski, for being a catalyst of change in my life!"
