"Working with Diane helped me to recognize and develop my own tools for the direction I want my Life to take. She helped me to see that when I trust my own Self, miracles can happen every day."
~ Kate Hastings
former owner of The Globe Theatre, current Executive Director of the Worcester County Land Trust
"I think everyone
needs a personal coach to hash things out with. I had questions
about Trademarking and Diane helped me focus my thoughts about
doing that.
Then, Diane suggested
I give some thought to my goals and long range planning.
Usually I don't go beyond today or this week, at the longest!
With raising 5 kids, I found out everything can change in a heartbeat.
Long range planning...what's that?? So now I'm wiser
and know I need to practice my goals and practice who I want to
be!
This stretched things
beyond my [business idea] to include my weight loss efforts which
is ever before me. Next thing I knew, Diane had connected
my new business with my goals of weight loss. The key word
became the "traveling" in my business name, which honors the flowing
and movement in my life and in all I do. This movement being
needed for the weight loss and yet showing me the need to bring
"health" to my clients in food as well as in spirit.
This was really an awesome thought for me.
Finally we talked about
setting boundaries, business hours and carving out time when I
tell others "no". All these years, I've been so available
to everyone, that I need to reclaim some time to be in my new
office and concentrate on my new focus. I have so much to
ponder and to put into operation from this wonderful time with
Diane. I am ready to move on!
Thanks for all your time and offering yourself to the Queendom.
I am truly blessed and in awe that we were able to connect."
~ Rita/Queen Clarissa
"As the winner of
a “Motivational Counseling” session, I didn't know exactly what
to expect. Diane sent me some questions to answer ahead
of time, so that she would know me better for our session.
The questions themselves were designed to get me thinking about
things so deep that I was actually nervous answering – but there
is a magic, a truth to putting something in writing. Putting
a statement down in written words makes it very real.
When we first spoke,
she wanted me to be relaxed and open for our talk. She
asked questions that made me reflect on matters, such as who I
really am, and what I want to be. She draws out
your perspective on issues and tries to show you a different,
lighter angle; a new refreshing way to process your concerns.
She ended up our session with an idea for me to work on,
and a faxed list of personalized words, called a “word-shower.”
This experience was a wonderful tool for future journal
writing and meditation, and something I would recommend to anyone
to try at least once. After all, what do you have to lose,
except old dysfunctional habits and negative thoughts?"

"I have been blessed
with a wonderful coach and friend, Diane Armstrong. She saw my
dream and helped me to get to this point in my business, Healing
Stones From The Heart. Her friendship and positive energy is awe
inspiring. You can’t help but feel good and want to tackle
the world after talking to
Diane.
Thank you Diane for
always believing that this could be done."

"I have learned
an incredible amount. I'm proud that I have embarked on my new
business. I'm glad that a professional coach has become a part
of my life. There is great value in the services that they can
provide.
I have learned to restructure
my goals into something more manageable for this time in my life.
I have learned that this particular business has great meaning
for me and that its success should be measured by how happy I
am, not by how fast the business grows. I am ready to embark on
this new chapter in my life and to tackle my fears, each in their
own time.
Keep your eyes open
because "Revette" is going to be great!

"I again want to
thank you for your love, support and guidance - it has and will
help me. What coaching has done for me is to help value ME! In
the past four months my mission to start a business has already
come true. I feel connected, settled and at peace. Diane you have
helped me stay positive and focused, so I would not stray away
from my goals. Basically, my dream is coming true and I am doing
what makes me feel complete and energized. I am helping people
spiritually and expressing my knowledge with touch in a tranquil
way.
SUCCESS = loving what you do, feeling what you do, believing in
what you do and in return making a living doing it! Miracles do
happen!"

"Diane is an incredible
positive force that helped change my life and gave me the courage
to make my dream come true. She showed me that anything is possible.
If you have the will to succeed you'll be amazed at what can be
accomplished with Diane at your side.
I could have never started my studio without her knowledge, passion
and understanding!"

Thank you so much for traveling all the way to Portland to share the light of your heart with all of us. Your workshop was truly inspiring, healing, and heart-expanding . . . and so much fun!!!!! I felt like a carefree kid again—holding the entire world in my hands with no limits but my imagination. And that’s exactly how life should be! Thank you, thank you for all that you are and all that you give!

"Sychcronicity! My most significant insight was how a focus on what I want helps create the outcome. I look forward to my ability to impact my destiny. I like the way Diane brings her gifts to each member of the class. Her communication skills allow the mesage to come through to every 'wave length'. She meets us where we are at.

"My most significant insight was the 98% of life is fine and I can stop dweling on the 2% that's not. I look forward to taking control of my time and not allow other to use my time. I also have dropped the guilt about making myself happy before all others. Diane is gentle and brings out topics from within the person. I like how I'm using 'I feel' and not worrying about 'solving' other people's problems. I've learned to let go."

"I
took away so many valuable lessons and tools from that hour this
morning......
I was writing about
the inner house of my mind yesterday and the image of it is still
clear in my mind today. Now after the call this morning I'm 'seeing'
new doors opening up to some of the rooms in my imagination, especially
the 'music room'. Wait and see what happens when I actually start
reorganizing my physical house!
And this is a bit of
synchronicity - I started reading a fantasy novel last night called
'A Red Heart of Memories' by Nina Kiriki Hoffman in which one
of the main characters literally talks to man-made things around
her and they talk back.....It seems to dovetail completely with
what you said about the energies of our possessions.
This is just the tip of the iceberg!"

"I
want to thank you for following your heart and becoming a life
coach. I never knew there was such a thing! It is unbelievable
(it is synchronistic) that I was at such a pivotal place on the
very day I met you. ……. It has only been three weeks
and a day and I have already noticed a big difference in myself
and in my family. The stress seems to have melted away. I know
I was stressed because I was trying to be someone other than who
I am meant to be.
There are so many things I want to experience. I feel energized
and excited about the future and I really have no huge plans.
I'm confident that if I follow the path that feels right, everything
will fall into place in my life, and the lives of those I love,
will have more meaning."

"The
most valuable thing I learned was to make decisions from my heart
- stop being so cerebral and analytical. I also want to embrace
the changes I make, they are all good and I can make any change
I want at any time. I can have multiple irons in the fire.
I would like to increase my productivity in my down time and be
more charitable while having fun."

"I learned that
by keeping QUIET, all of my deep desires reveal themselves to
me.
One change in my life I am most likely to make is that I will
FOCUS on living in the MOMENT. Not looking back and not looking
too far ahead.
I will try and make a conscious effort to do one small gesture
everyday to work on my creativity. I always seem to put it last
when I get caught up in the whirlwind of life."
