Client Stories & Testimonials

“The main reason I started doing coaching was learning how to communicate with my fiancé better. We are similar in a lot of ways and both of us tend to lack communication when something is bothering us. This makes it hard to work any of our issues out.

The coaching experience was uncomfortable at times but I really feel like we made breakthroughs and connected more with each other.

I am more understanding of where my partner is coming from when he expresses himself in ways that I wouldn't. We are both more patient with each other and we both noticeably work harder on supporting each other and working out our issues instead of hoping they just go away.

Barbi was amazing! She makes the environment so easy going and comfortable. Nothing felt forced and she was so open and knowledgable about what she taught. I am forever grateful.”

“I believed life was going to be well but frustrating at times. I felt misunderstood even using good communication or what I thought was good communication.

I learned quite a lot about how my brain works and how to use tools for communication for different personalities.

I have found an improvement in my work life being more professional and easier to navigate employees. My personal life has became stronger I believe. Thank you for everything!!!

“Barbi's approach is so refreshing. She's direct but empathetic, which made it easy to open up. I left our sessions feeling motivated and with a clear action plan. The peace of mind I've gained is priceless.

Wonderful! Your direct and empathetic way of asking your questions and addressing mine is very conducive to sharing. You are non-judgmental and supportive which is critical for getting people to open up. I felt very safe and comfortable talking with you about things that I would normally not talk to others about, and seeking your ideas about how to make positive change in my life.”

“Barbi's coaching was a game-changer for me! She has this amazing ability to tell you what you need to hear in the most caring way. Her support literally turned my life around.

I truly can't thank Barbi enough. She literally saved my life, I know that there is still work to do every day, but she encouraged me that I can do it. One step at a time, I am worth it. Barbi has a unique way of telling you truth that you might not want to hear, in a loving and helpful way.”

“Barbi creates a space of comfort, trust and true interest in my wellbeing. She was very professional and worked so hard in between our sessions on more ways she could help me reach my goals.

I am thrilled to have worked with Barbie Buckles. She and her amazing talents as RN coach really gave me immense help at a time I needed it most.”

“Since coaching with Barbi, I have been able to witness my husband transform into a much healthier and confident and connected version of himself. There are no words to describe how amazing this is!!

Now, my husband and I have improved so much in our communication skills with each other! Overall, we are just improving so much as a family to communicate with each other. The vibe of the house is very much improved in that we now have more strategy and understanding and agreements around how we treat each other. I don't feel like I have a roommate anymore, I know have my best friend and husband back!”

“After just a few months working with Barbi, I achieved a level of sustained, continued wellness. It has been a year since I used Barbi’s coaching services, and I have continued to grow as a direct result of her guidance. As a side effect, I have lost inches around my waist— from size 20+ to now a size 6!! Her guidance and inspiration have led me to live a life I only imagined before. I highly recommend Barbi’s services and expertise to anyone who desires a fuller, calmer & more present lifestyle.”

“Before I started coaching with Barbi my life was a lot more stressful. I got headaches multiple times a week and felt overwhelmed with my job and home life. I didn’t feel healthy and was tired a lot. I didn’t have the tools to address all these aspects in my life so that I felt balanced and organized. I needed help understanding what wasn’t serving me and how I could make changes in my life to improve my day to day attitude. Overall, my life was great before coaching but I knew I was missing some training and knowledge to help me move forward, learn and grow into an even better version of myself.

My experience with Barbi was fantastic. She really listened to me and the issues I was having in my life and gave me so many tools to help me move through them. She helped me identify the specific sources of stress in my life, both personal and work, which made it more manageable to handle. She taught me strategies for dealing with the stress and specific ways to talk to people who might not think the same way I do. She helped me set goals every week that were very achievable and helped reduce the sense of being overwhelmed. I set timers to focus, I set boundaries with coworkers and delegated tasks to lower my load of responsibilities. I gave myself time to breath, slow down and be mindful, knowing that self care needed to be my top priority. She helped me achieve a healthier balance between work and personal life through practical tools, mindset shifts and tailored guidance to create a more fulfilling and manageable lifestyle.

My life is so different now. Thanks to Barbi I now have specific tools and strategies to lower my stress and get through my days a lot happier. I quit my job and moved onto a much different and more fulfilling career. My headaches have decreased significantly and overall I’m a lot happier. She showed me the strength I always had and the confidence to move on with my life and start a new career. I can now handle my workload in a professional manner with the time management tools and prioritization techniques she taught me. I’m now more aware of my strengths and areas of growth. That self-awareness gave me a better understanding of my limits and capabilities allowing me to navigate life with greater confidence.

This experience has really opened my eyes to the differences in peoples personalities and how they operate. Barbi helped me understand myself better, by realizing what personality type I am and the personality types of the people I work with and live with. This was a huge stepping stone for me to learn the differences and how to handle specific situations. I now talk to my husband differently and it has helped in our home life so much. I’m truly grateful for my time spent with Barbi. She’s a lovely being who wants to help people learn more about themselves so they can live their true potential and shine in life!”
