“Not to sound simplistic, but the best way to describe working with Chanel would be comfortable. Nothing she asked felt invasive even though my story is a shit show & rather embarrassing, but I never felt judgement. She urged the conversation along to help me take a better look at myself so I could make firm decisions.”

"Chanel's energy got me! Her tone and presence made me feel safe and comfortable. I hadn't realized what a vulnerable process it can be to talk about the difficulties of my professional life, and Chanel provided a safe and comfortable environment for me to start thinking and processing through it. I also really enjoyed her questions. They gave me an opportunity to pause and reflect on things from a fresh perspective and struck a lovely balance between professional and personal. I really enjoyed our session!"
