About Strong By Nature

"Larisa does an excellent job of listening and reflecting what she has heard to clarify and demonstrate understanding. Her calm demeanor, active listening skills, and insightful questions were very effective. Larisa made it a point to start each session with what I wanted to get out of each conversation and then consistently delivered results- challenging me to think in new ways and create actionable lists. At the end of each call, I had concrete steps or skills to practice, which is what I identified each call as a goal or desired takeaway. The structure and delivery were clear, easy to follow and effective."

"After every session, I felt like I could take on the world."

"What an incredible investment!"

"Larisa helped me get past the superficial and dial down to the core of what's really going in."

“I feel more focused and energized every time we meet.”

“She knows what questions to ask and how to ask them so to guide us in the path of self-discovery.”

"I felt at peace and highly motivated to move forward."

"It was perfect!"

"Larisa was an excellent listener and communicator. Her thoughts were clear and concise. There was structure, goal-setting, and a plan. Larisa's gift is her ability to ask thought-provoking questions that would allow me to explore options and thoughts beyond my previous way of thinking. She had a way of making me think about different scenarios without force and devising a plan of action. When stuck, she would help to dig me out and once I got out, she would turn it back to me to move forward. Without feeling pressure, she would ensure that I remained focused, positive, engaging, and professional. She is an AMAZING coach."

"I was in the middle of a big move. So many things in my life were changing at once and it was hard for me to try and balance it all. To top it off, the pandemic had placed the world in a stand still. I was confused and overwhelmed. Talking with Larisa was the pause I needed. She led me through the iRest co-meditation dyad and helped me to understand my emotions. Beyond that, she helped me realize my inner strength and power to combat these feelings of fear and confusion with affirmations of hope. I had the answers within me and she helped me clear away the dust so I could see them more clearly. I am eternally grateful for her patience and support!"

"Larisa is an exceptional human being who brings up the best questions to help me make the shift to where I need to arrive. She is always professional, kind, with no judgement, and supportive in helping me solve the hindrance/barrier at hand. After my recent session, I shifted from feeling heavy and hopeless, to lighter and inspired."

"This was my first time working with a coach and I found such value in it. It is nice to talk to someone who wasn't a family member, co-worker, or friend/boyfriend...someone who still cared about my best interest but also looked deeper into my thoughts/feelings."

"Larisa is one of the most inspirational and motivating spirits. Her coaching has completed transformed how I approach my dreams. She is amazing and genuine!"
