Testimonials
From a 13-year-old
Student
Coaching has helped me so much! I am so grateful for Life Anchored Coaching. Since I have had coaching, I have improved in school and in other areas, such as having a healthier plan for eating, not procrastinating and having better coping strategies. I've also learned that life is SO much easier when you have a plan!
From a Parent Coaching Client
For many years, our family has been challenged to find the right help for our son who struggles with ADHD. The relationships in our home were very strained. As parents, we tried several counselors, read numerous books, and listened to countless podcasts. Jessel's Life Anchored Coaching is what we really needed; her parent coaching is the perfect combination of her personal experience and ADHD specific training. Her sessions, suggested reading material, and tools brought understanding and validation that made a a difference for us.
From a Parent of a
Teen Student
My son's coach was approachable; her demeanor and diligence with following up with my son on weekly goals, along with her guidance and encouragement, motivated my son to work towards completing the established goals, and helped us to improve our family communication skills. I am very thankful for her help.
From an Adult Client with ADHD
Before beginning sessions with Jessel, I believed that my personal and career goals were out of reach because of the limitations caused by my ADHD. Now, however, I am approaching my 40s with confidence, with purpose, with organization, and with more opportunities opening than I ever believed would be possible. Working with Jessel, the past eight months has been absolutely life-changing for me, and, subsequently, for my spouse and children. I am grafeful.
Consistently heard from parents during pre-screening calls:
I never knew ADHD/ Executive Function Coaching was a thing! I didn't even know this existed. I wish I knew about ADHD Coaching earlier. We tried everything for our child, but nothing has really worked. I'm so excited to know that my child can actually learn practical strategies.

From a Parent of a
College Student
My son’s first semester in college did not go well at all. Over winter break, we found Life Anchored Coaching. For the first time, my son had a Coach who encouraged him, helping him to organize and schedule his workload. He also learned effective study skills. He is doing so much better now and I am so appreciative!
From a Parent of a
Study Skills Workshop
Student:
"The session on note-taking had a dramatic impact on my 8th grader. The information was presented so engagingly; just the day after that session, I was encouraged to see my daughter employing the strategies she learned - without me prompting her!"
From a Parent, After a
Pre-screening Call
Jessel,
Thank you so much for your time chatting yesterday morning on a pre-screening call. I have done a lot of “interviewing” on this topic on my daughter's behalf, and you take the cake. Empathy, personal experience, “clinical experience” - I could go on and on. I also have strong opinions about how different companies run the vetting process for pairing a student with a coach/tutor. The generosity with which you approach this honors the real challenge of helping children with EF/learning/brain chemistry challenges. Thank you.
From a Parent of
an 8-year-old
Since coaching, my daughter has felt joyful and empowered. When she is tempted to fight or complain, she remembers to 'use the wise part of her brain.' When she is anxious, she thinks, 'I will change my bad thoughts into good thoughts.' She has told us that meeting with her coach has really helped her. I am very thankful for her coach, for leading and teaching our daughter."
