DOES ANY OF THIS Sound like you?

• You know there is something more for you but you don’t know what it is and you don’t know how to get out of where you’re at right now.
• Your most powerful self is starting to show up and say “Enough is enough! I want air time and I want space and you better do something with what I have to say!”
• You’ve lost touch with what truly matters to you, including your value.
• You think you could be satisfied with your current job but you’re not sure what it’s going to take to turn things around.
• You are completely dissatisfied with your current career and are ready for a major overhaul. You just want to make sure what you choose next is more aligned with your purpose and values.
• You know it’s time to step into greater leadership in your life and business yet you don’t have models for how to do this in a way that honors the feminine values of slowing down, listening to your inner guidance and asking for support.

WHAT WOMEN Are Saying

I met Rita about a year and a half into starting my tech company. I wasn’t initially a business woman or entrepreneur—I’d been an engineer who loved tech, innovation and impact! So I didn’t know how to navigate this new terrain and had to learn about myself and the leader I wanted to be. 

Building a startup is hard. It requires resilience and hard work. I was under a lot of stress, working constantly upstream. I chose to find support so I could succeed to achieve my goals.

With Rita, I have learned so much about myself and my talents. It’s been a journey of 3 years that definitely changed the way I see the world and all its opportunities. Imposter syndrome no longer stops me in my tracks! I have learned to raise my voice in a male dominated environment, stand for my ideas, manage conflicts and run towards my vision.

My company has grown and has a bright future. I have brought a product from idea to market and built up a diverse and talented team (8+ employees). And yet it’s not overwhelming!

Rita and I started to identify my core values, my purpose and create a vision for my future that really inspired me. I understood the power of slowing down to accelerate. It was only an impossible theory to put into practice before I met Rita. Now I spend more time with my husband and children while also taking time for myself each day. 

My work with Rita is so important. She’s really helped support me grow into the next level of myself in a way that’s deeply aligned with what is most important to me. Thank you, Rita!

It’s been the craziest year of my life and without Rita, I don’t know how I would have coped. I’m stronger now—even more of a bad ass! But not in a ‘work harder’ kind of way. Instead, I've learned how to let go of trying to control the things I can’t control, which gives me more energy for the things I can control and that are more important to me. 

Through working with Rita I’ve come to realize there will always be things showing up in life that I can react to: but I don’t have to. I now have the communication and emotional skills I need to respond, not react, and set myself up for success in life and business. 

With her support, I was better able to cope with challenging situations I faced while working in a toxic and abusive company. I was also able to repair key relationships with family members by letting go of old triggers, blame and distrust.

I’m no longer working nights or weekends and am now a recovering workaholic. I’ve let go of seeking validation from others and am able to give that to myself. 

I never imagined that working with Rita would end up helping me overcome 20+ years of trauma…but it has. Rather than living a life centered around someone else's limited beliefs of me... I’ve found the confidence and courage to be happy and thrive in a life designed by me, and for me. Thank you, Rita!

After working in the oil industry for 20 years, I left to start my own advisory company. While I was excited about the challenge of growing my own business, I knew I needed a lot of support to thrive. That’s when I started working with Rita.

In our first year of working together, we mainly focused on my business and my interactions with clients. But as my business grew, and I faced more challenges at work, I also experienced more challenges at home.

I began to have migraines and was losing my hair. Rita saw all the red flags and with her support, I could no longer deny that I was unhappy in my marriage. I had been afraid to leave and wanted to try to make it work for my daughter. But when she started struggling with migraines herself and stopped thriving in kindergarten, I knew it was time to take action. Rita helped me build my support system, which ultimately gave me the confidence to leave my marriage.

During that time, I also returned to school to become a certified coach. I wanted to help other women break free from toxic, abusive relationships, like I eventually did.

Now I’m growing my coaching business and recently, I hosted a conference all about thriving before, during and after divorce. My migraines have stopped and my hair is healthy and curly again. My daughter is making quantum leaps! I discovered that as I kept doing my work with Rita and getting aligned with my values and mission, the more my daughter began to thrive at school and home because I was no longer ‘broadcasting’ my concerns to her.

I’m so grateful for Rita’s support over these last 4+ years and feel amazing about my future. I feel like I’m just getting started!

I’ve had the privilege to know and work with Rita over three years, including both a 6-month tailored program and a 2-day retreat. These experiences helped me clarify my vision, and gain the tools and the confidence required to achieve the success I sought.

In our first 6 months together, I came to Rita with a desire to exert more upward influence within the organization where I worked. What we ended up working toward was so much bigger (and better) than the original objective. With her support, I convinced senior leadership to create a new Research division and appoint me as its leader. I was thrilled with the opportunity to pursue my passion and vision and generate positive impact for our clients and the broader industry.

I sought out Rita’s support again several months later right before beginning a new higher-level role in a different company. I wanted to set myself up for success in my new role to define my vision for this next chapter of my life and ensure I was coming from my zone of genius and my power. I knew succeeding would depend less on hard knowledge (the masculine way of leading) and more on relationships and influence (the feminine way of leading, which required developing).

Rita developed a 2-day retreat that was a powerful and valuable mix of deep psychological insight and practical application. Rita also ensured we balanced the work sessions with downtime so I could rejuvenate mentally and physically. The downtime included things like massages and long, leisurely dinners that were deeply nourishing. I walked away from the weekend more grounded in who I am and with a robust toolbox of techniques to exert positive influence both in my new role and any other future situation.

What’s always impressed me about Rita is the time and energy she dedicates to her clients, and her deep focus and genuine concern. I can’t imagine moving forward toward any new goal without her support. In fact, I recently signed up yet again to do another 6 months with her 1:1 and have also joined her Mastermind. 

If you’re considering working with Rita, I encourage you to trust your instincts and explore the possibility. The return you’ll receive on your investment is huge, not only monetarily, but particularly in terms of personal fulfillment and joy.
