Brady Mikusko > Testimonials

Brady Mikusko has a blessed tool box. She reached into it and selected the perfect ones for me to use. She showed me how to use them. One day, after a few months of coaching, I felt like I'd finally turned the corner, I was able to breathe. I was lighter, I felt better. I could experience pain and fear and not have it do me in. I had tools to use.

My life began to be real. It sounds fantastic, but I was able to end a damaging relationship I had clung to our of fear, I was able to see myself honestly, I was offered a new job! Not only did Brady's tools help me feel good in my own skin, they opened the door to other possibilities.

I've been through therapy three different times in my life. Nothing had such an amazing results as Brady's gifts for showing me how to help myself think differently, see the world differently, and embrace life. I will always be grateful to her for her coaching.

With Brady Mikusko as life coach, I have felt safe enough to allow myself to fly for the first time in my life without a flight plan or destination. Just to experience the altitude, the sensation of traveling, and the trust I want in myself as a pilot.

In the months I have worked with Brady, I have learned to rely on my self-knowing. I have ventured into new places in my heart. I now own new skills. I am able to know on a cellular level if my answer is a yes or no. I have acquired the confidence from baby steps to take bigger steps toward what I am uncovering that I want.

Brady is an extraordinary life coach. She has acute sensitivity in ascertaining what is at the heart of things. Nothing about her or the way she works is formulaic. As a client, I feel strongly that she is picking up on every detail and will not forget a thing. She takes each session as it comes and is willing and capable of making impromptu, unplanned decisions about direction and approach for my benefit. Every aspect of her coaching is in complete service of the client and I am sure that every one of her client's is guided in a unique and individual manner. I hve been the beneficiary of her amazing intuition, her extremely wide and creative repertoire of approaches and techniques, her genuine warmth and humor, and her profound appreciation for the dignity in struggling to find one's path.

I am a happy, healthy professional mother with a good support system. Yet in recent years, I also felt stuck in a couple areas of my life that limited many things for me. I had written most of a scholarly book (for which I had a contract), but years had passed and I could not complete the project. I had reached a point where friends and family did not understand my block and my desperation.

Brady proved an ideal person to help me see what was keeping me from finishing this crucial project. In just a few sessions, we talked through my desires and fears. She helped me see my accomplishments. Most importantly, Brady helped me to devise a plan--practical, do-able steps to complete my book. Voilá: in less than a year, I did complete my book! I feel wonderful and ready to move on to other projects.

Serious personal problems also surfaced in the past year. Brady easily shifted agendas and helped me to cope, strategize, and re-gain control over my life.

I find Brady to be a wise, caring, and practical person. She has provided me with a range of tools to gain clarity, calm, and energy in different aspects of my life. Brady’s diverse educational background makes her ideal to assist individuals in academia with their special challenges.

The information I received from Brady Mikusko's workshop for divorce mediation and her mediation coaching sessions was an enormous blessing. I am truly thankful for her thorough and grounded advice through the mediation process.

Brady was a pivotal part of my transformation out of a mentally abusive 23- year marriage into the independent single woman I have become. Through Divorce coaching, I learned about myself as well as many thought provoking techniques to keep my life in perspective.

....divorce coaching took me through a process and in the end I realized I am worthy of everything life has to offer and nothing less. It was a wonderful experience and I will always have a special place in my heart for Brady.

Brady is a warm, insightful, intelligent, and utterly unique person and the same can be said of her coaching. Over the course of my sessions, I not only learned about myself, but I learned practical tools to help me change some long-held habits and thought patterns. Brady is extremely well rounded as a coach and draws on the many hats she wears. If something isn't working for you, she'll improvise and have another approach to offer...I can't say enough good things about her.

Brady Mikusko combines warmth and sensitivity with her experience, and my work with her as a coach was fulfilling and enlightening. I felt such a strong sense of support and caring from her in a very short time. I would without hesitation recommend her as a coach. Her work as a therapist has uniquely prepared her for her work as a coach. She is comfortable with the difference and can discern the difference between the two. The ease and enthusiasm that she brings to her coaching sessions is contagious.

When I was in a bad way (divorce), Brady helped me out. She helped me feel good about things again and nudged me into taking care of stuff that needed taking care of. I didn't feel pressured to do so, either. She conveys genuineness because, well, she is genuine.
