What People Are Saying
“Esther Sadie has the qualities of an exceptional coach and human being. She is positive, thoughtful, supportive, knowledgeable and curious. Esther is an exceptional listener and her genuine care and empathic approach is evident in all her coaching interactions. As a teacher, the benefits I have received from her wisdom and guidance are immeasurable. She is incredibly skilled at helping others tap into their strengths and values. As a mother, Esther’s supportive guidance has encouraged my need to make time and space for re-energizing and self-care and self-compassion. Among many of her strengths as a well-being coach, Esther has helped me personally and professionally shift my thinking and have more transformative moments that have led to greater self-awareness, and new healthier paths and perspectives. Esther uses her own personal experiences, combined with evidence-based and effective coaching practices, to help mothers and educators, like myself, get back to feeling like their best self and thriving in life again with a sense of balance between work, family life and personal well-being. Esther is a person of integrity who also brings a peaceful, fun and inspiring approach to every interaction she has. I wholeheartedly recommend Esther’s coaching!”

“Working with Esther Sadie during a transition phase of my life was greatly beneficial and fun. She held the space for me as I worked with new tools around mindfulness to recognize and allow the thoughts and emotions that were arising for me. Her reminder of self-nourishment and self-care kept me in a gentle mindset with myself. I highly recommend working with Esther Sadie.”

“Esther coached me on gaining the confidence to do a new job well. She listened to me extremely carefully and asked wonderful questions that inspired me to do my own best thinking on how to do the job well. After I came up with specific steps to take, she followed up by asking me how I would verify with her that the actions had been taken, which was very helpful in keeping me committed to achieve my goal. I would recommend Esther as a coach to anyone who would like to improve in any area of his or her life.”

“Esther Brandon understands the critical role self-care, self-compassion and mindfulness have in building teacher resilience. For years, her wisdom and guidance has supported our community of educators, nourishing and inspiring their souls while providing tangible, implementable strategies they can easily integrate to support their own well-being. I can’t think of a time in history when Esther’s coaching has been more needed. I highly recommend her coaching to all school professionals!”

"I had the pleasure of attending a webinar Esther created entitled "Mindfulness and Coaching." Clearly, Esther has both the passion and competence to be a leader in this space. The webinar had two important impacts on me. As a human being, I felt more centered, relaxed, and present to the moment at the conclusion of the webinar.. As a coach, it validated and energized my own work in this space with my clients. If you're interested in exploring the intersection of Mindfulness and Coaching - give Esther a call!"
