Testimonials

“One of the truly BRILLIANT people on this planet - she simply RADIATES strength, compassion, beauty, intelligence and knowledge. I’ve never quite experienced anyone like Roxanne in my life, until now. I’m very thankful for her wonderful friendship and support!”

Michael O. “Coop” Cooper, Principal, Paragon Strategies

A sample from coaching clients:

“I hired Roxanne as my personal coach in December 2005 and have worked with her monthly since then. Roxanne has been instrumental in helping me along my personal path of growth and development. Roxanne calls forward the best in me. She creates a safe, loving, unflinching space for me to discover and obtain what my soul yearns for. Roxanne calls forward the wisdom of body, heart and mind so I am a more integrated person with greater access to my own sources of wisdom. With great affection, I highly recommend Roxanne Howe-Murphy.”

“Hello Roxanne,

I have been thinking this week that it is just about a year since we met. So, last night I looked at my notes, and it was a year ago today that we had our first coaching session. Looking back, it’s amazing how much has changed for me in the past year. I am well into my transition to where-ever it is I’m going and I’m really enjoying life so much morel I knew from the start that having the opportunity to work with you was a gift that had come just at the right time in my life, but I did not realize what a difference it would make for me. I am so grateful and the exciting thing is that this is just the beginning. I really enjoyed the (Enneagram Relationships) workshop last week-end and I definitely want to do more, since it seems there is so much more to be gained from the Enneagram work.

Thank you so much for bringing this awareness to my life.”

Susan K.Retired Hi-tech Executive, San Jose, California

This note was sent by a client after one month’s coaching:

“Hi, Just thought I’d let you know that when I began to work with you I had one individual client and a couple. I now have 8 individual clients and a couple. I’m also teaching 2 acting classes a week. All of which came to me with no effort. I credit our work together. THANKS! “

J. Seldon, Somatic Counseling and Emotional Education

“Roxanne Howe-Murphy came into my life at exactly the right time. I was overwhelmed and unhappy in my job and didn’t know who I could be without it.  Roxanne helped me to identify my core values,and her coaching supported me in creating a new life in alignment with those values. Working with her was a great joy; her listening skills were superb and her questions and responses were deeply insightful.  I am very grateful to Roxanne for her wise guidance and compassion and for helping me to create the wonderful life that I am living today. ”

Gloria N., Former Education Director
“Many, many thanks for being you and helping me shine the light on so many different aspects of myself. You are a gift! I appreciate you and am so thankful that we shared this coaching experience. I’m excited about taking my next steps as a professional coach.”

Kathy F.

“I want to express my thanks for all your help and support that brought me to this point. All the great work we did together over the past year led to me feeling really great about the new board meeting we held a couple of weeks ago. Things are going to be changing a lot at work, but I now feel that I can work with them as they come. I know that it was my work with you that helps me be confident in being effective as the leader of this organization. “

Ilona I., San Francisco

“Working with Roxanne opened me up to a richer and more resonant understanding of who I am. When I first walked through her door, I found myself repeating the same patterns over and over without a true grasp as to why this was happening. I was endlessly frustrated by the cage I felt I kept putting myself in. Through Roxanne’s deep compassion, clear coaching and spiritual guidance I was able to gain a deeper insight and awareness of my internal landscape; I was able to “open” the cage and lead a more centered, informed and meaningful life. The work wasn’t always easy but in the end I received the reward of a reconnection with a world full of promise, a reintroduction to a life open to mystery and wonder.”

Mike Coughlin, Napa, CA

“Thank you for being such a wonderful coach and for sharing your wisdom. I genuinely appreciate partnering with you so I can live fully and continue evolving and growing… thank you for helping me move forward in my life with beauty, grace, and CLARITY. I appreciate you very much!”

N. Breitenstein

“You offered a fun, challenging, provocative, loving, insightful, and nurturing atmosphere in which to explore my own leadership abilities and to see others. Using our voices, our bodies, our hearts and our heads, we practiced and stretched our leadership capacities.”

C. Heyer, California

“…As you can imagine, I am getting down to the wire with the big move. It has been an emotional rollercoaster… much more than I expected but I have dealt with it much better than I anticipated as well. I know that working with you helped me to develop many of these coping tools.

You are such a special, warm, encouraging person who is helping to make a difference in other’s lives. Fourteen months ago I was sitting in a car at a shopping center talking to you on the phone to set up our first meeting, feeling like I was drowning. And now, what feels like four months later I am off to a whole new life. Is it a little scary? Sure, but I am confident and happy. I know that I’m following my inner voice, and after years of worrying about others, I’m taking care of myself. I really appreciate your guidance and support! I hope that whatever I end up doing, I too can touch peoples lives in a positive, meaningful way. Thank you again.”

Love, Louise Stevens

“I incorporated some of my new speaking skills into a 30 minute speaking engagement to a group of 20 last week. I love the added calm and ease that I felt!! Wonderful!”

K. Snyder, Washington

“As my coach, if I had written the perfect script, she (Roxanne) turned out to be even better! There aren’t enough positive adjectives I can use to express my love for her and what a great life-coach she has been. We all get stuck from time to time. If you want help to get unstuck, I strongly urge you to give Roxanne a call.”

J. Wolf, Realtor

“Roxanne is my lifecoach… and is a living embodiment of a transformer and one of my favorite people on the planet.”

Feedback from Enneagram workshop participants:

“I have been looking for answers, very diligently and through many processes over the past 10 years. I have found many but with Roxanne’s guidance through the maze of the Enneagram, I have discovered hope—for the first time in my life.”

Lee Ann Day, R.N. Nurse and consultant

“This is incredibly powerful work and Roxanne’s inspiring teaching style brings it to life. This is information that has been invaluable for both my personal and professional relationships…I couldn’t recommend this class more highly.”

Erica Sofrina, Interior Design and Feng Shui Consultant, Founder, West Coast School of Feng Shui

“The value I received from participating in the Enneagram course was enormous. In my work as a coach, I have been exposed to a variety of systems for understanding behavior and personality. For me personally, the wisdom of the Enneagram has been the most profoundly impactful. This is work that can transform your life.”

Phyllis Ponte, Ph.D., Ponte Consulting, LLC

“Roxanne did a great job in creating a peaceful, nonjudgmental space for everyone to share openly. I thought her teaching style was very beautiful and easy to learn from. The whole experience was beautifully orchestrated. This was a terrific class. I was so pleased with where I landed and feel so grateful.”

Marci Pollock, former teacher & new mother

“Who would ever think that in my middle years I would become much more encouraged and hopeful about life than during any other time before? Thanks to an incredible system called the Enneagram and thanks to a powerful and compassionate teacher named Roxanne Howe-Murphy, this is exactly what happened.”

Debbie S., Pacifica

“All in all, it seems that my vision of what I wanted in this phase of my life was a good one and I am well on my way.  I am always very grateful for your help on this journey.  I may have arrived at the same place on my own, but it’s likely that it would have been with a much different perspective.  I feel very, very fortunate that my life is so blessed.
