You were able to isolate and help me focus on my remaining struggles and you also confirmed the feeling that I’m sitting on the brink of fulfilling something very exciting. I was amazed to hear the information that mine held, and appreciate your ability to explain with clarity. Who knew so much could be found literally in the palm of your hand? Thank you again for helping me have the courage to be more of “myself” and to bring that into the world with confidence.”

“I did a hand analysis with Colleen Crook and found the experience to be fascinating! Not knowing anything much about hand analysis, I was startled to hear Colleen talk about what could be discerned even from a thumb print, much less a whole hand. My own experience was one of validation about my work rather than clarification – but then I believe that we all have our own deepest and truest vision within us. I found Colleen to be knowledgeable and skilled in her analysis and in asking her questions during the reveal. It’s always interesting to gain additional perspectives about yourself, and Colleen’s hand analysis did just that for me.”

“I got some remarkable help from Colleen! Before working with her, I was totally stuck about how I could create new programs for serving my clients. I had been stalling and avoiding the task, because I felt like I had no idea how to go about it. I couldn’t seem to get started.I had a coaching session with Colleen and I couldn’t believe how easily she just coaxed a plan right out of me. It’s like she just pushed some magic button that let me effortlessly create this plan – and it’s a really good one! She has this gentle, reassuring guidance that reinforces my own strength and my own creativity. So this is definitely MY plan. I don’t have any idea of how she just pulled it right out of me. But I came up with a great step-by-step plan that I was immediately able to put into action. Colleen’s coaching really reduced my fears and helped me to create something that would work for me without overwhelming me. Perfect!
And that was just in one short session. So I was surprised and delighted. And I’m putting that plan into use in my business right now. I really recommend her gifted way of working with people. She has compassion and confidence that is contagious, and brings wisdom and so many kinds of experience to what she is doing. I had total confidence in working with her.”

“I partnered with CLC coaching because I needed help focusing on being able to follow through with decisions I’ve made and not stress on whether it was the best one or not. In coaching with Colleen, I noticed an increase in active listening and a difference in how I phrased things when speaking to others. I also learned not to keep blaming myself but to see patterns and how to change them for positive results. This has made a tremendous difference in being able to communicate more effectively and follow-through with decisions that I’ve made.In having Colleen as a coach, I was and am more accountable for my actions and have a better awareness of what I say and how I say it to increase collaboration and improve professional and personal relationships. I’m learning to monitor my self talk and use language that moves me forward versus staying in a cycle of self-blame and crisis. I’m listening to my inner guidance to hear what I really want to focus on and then set feasible steps to achieve it or decide that the situation or project may not serve me in the highest possible way. This way I am moving forward in living my life purpose as a Creative and Successful Healing Artist in the Spotlight. The result is I now have more peace within myself and my life is more balanced.”

“I felt that something was missing in the core and foundation of my practice. The dots weren’t connecting. I was deep in a graduate certificate program and had just been accepted into a PhD program. I knew my knowledge base was solid but still had an unsettled feeling. I kept asking myself, “What’s missing?” I e-mailed Colleen and we set up a Get Acquainted session. My discussion with her flowed with ease. Although my ideas of what I wanted were fuzzy, Colleen gave me room to download all my jumbled thoughts. What was most amazing was that she skillfully helped me to piece together meaning of seemingly disconnected ideas and helped me to identify my intention of why I called her. What a relief! I felt like she truly listened to what my heart was trying to say and she helped me verbalize it so that I could connect it to my head (where logic resides).I decided that a Full Day Intensive would meet my needs. This is a “Powerful” session, with a capital P. I delved into the core of myself and discovered what I valued most and held important. I emerged with a stronger sense of why I had chosen my profession/business. (Conversely, I understood why alternative career paths did not work for me.) I became more aware of the energy I needed to infuse into my practice and into my life in general. I also found new tools to use such as my “energetic calling card.” My initial goal was to find a way to build my business. I met that goal and received a bonus. I found a way to build my life and created a solid foundation for it all. By connecting with my soul (core self), I was able to paint a broader picture that consisted of my business and personal life.
Colleen uses different exercises and techniques that flow seamlessly together. Each portion builds on the next. Sometimes I tend to make too big of a deal when it comes to putting ideas on paper. I tended to wrap myself into knots with competing ideas. Colleen was there to save me. She gently pulls on the strings of the ideas until a useful idea pops out. Having Colleen as a thought partner eased the process and made the sessions go very quickly. I felt fully supported throughout the Full Day Intensive.
The outcomes that I walked away with have been invaluable. I started my graduate program a few months later and my life came unglued in four months. I was trying to handle everything (business, family, work, and school) at full measure as before school started. I reviewed my work with Colleen and it all came back to me – my foundation and my vision of what I wanted for myself. I was able to set a course to regain my balance. I am so grateful for my work with Colleen. She helped me to design a life compass and provided a bridge for me to merge my soul with my life’s work. I came away with a masterpiece that evolves with me as I continue to grow. Thank you, Colleen!”

“Colleen’s work is just what the soul needs! She remarkably draws out what is most important. She gave me simple processes to boil my flow of ideas down to know exactly what I wanted and the key markers along the way that will let me know that I am on track. She is an amazing coach that listens with compassion and inspires authenticity. I was very touched by her wisdom and heart. She brought powerful insights to the coaching process that allowed me to make shifts toward the life that is waiting for me. I would recommend her to anyone desiring to find and step into a more passionate life.”
Karen Schiller
Interior Designer/Sales
St. Louis, MO.“Before working with Colleen, I felt stuck in my job. The same scenario kept coming up and I was not able to stand in my “truth” or “power” when it came to voicing my needs or I would take on other people’s energies and get bogged down in their feelings. I wanted to figure out what was important to me in a career and experience JOY in my life again and not always try to make things perfect.
Now I feel more empowered and am able to release others feeling as their own and not mine. I can look at situations now as an observer so I don’t get caught up in the drama and can choose how to respond versus reacting or folding into myself. I’m able to communicate more authentically from a place of power and objectivity versus taking it on the chin. I have the power and choice on how my story goes versus believing that I have to follow what has been my previous story.
What I’m taking away most is personal accountability. I took the leap and applied for and landed a new position that uses my talents as an interior designer which is in concert with my life purpose as the Artist in the Spotlight and my goal to be the Rock Star in Interior Design Sales“. My first month I sold $31,000… it was a good feeling, . This month I’ve been on 5 in home calls so far… might make the $45K mark. woo hoo! that would be exciting…
Janet Satterfield
Artist, Author, Innovative Community Businesswoman
Tucson, AZ“I had the joyous experience of a 90 minute hand analysis with Colleen Crook. Before the analysis, I kept asking myself what my real purpose in life was. I had read countless self-help books and tried to ask myself what I really wanted to do. None of the prodding revealed an answer.
The idea of a hand analysis resounded within me. Perhaps my hands would provide the answers to my questions that my brain so cleverly blocked. I always sensed I was a creative individual, but remained unsure of my potential or direction.
The hand analysis was truly revealing. It said exactly what my gifts were and where I should direct my creative abilities, which it also confirmed. It gave me the courage to make time for my projects and not seek the approval of others in regard to the quality of my creations. As far as blocks, it rang true that I always got hung up in the middle of the creative process. I could make and love making endless lists, plans and gorgeous mind maps, but the end results either never materialized or the final result fizzled.
Now that the hand analysis affirmed my instincts and put everything into perspective, I am moving ahead. I have finished one project, found a different use for a second, and have nailed down a third. My current project first looked daunting, but because of my new belief in myself, I am discovering ways to make it unique and ultimately successful.
I extend my gratitude to Colleen for dynamiting my brick wall. Now I feel validated and invigorated. I recommend the hand analysis to anyone who wants a truly eye-opening experience.”

www.mentorconnection.com“I partnered with Conscious Living Connection Coaching because I was clear that I was not living my most passionate life. I knew my life could be better. I just didn’t know how to make it happen. In partnering with Colleen and going through The Passion TestTM I noticed a 100% increase in clarity about what I needed to do to live a more passionate life. I went into action immediately and within a few weeks was seeing dramatic results.
The differences this has made in my life is that I’m now able to see when I’m living my #1 passion of Always being open to divine guidance that shows me what’s next as opposed to my limiting belief of having to be in control. Passion #2 of having optimum health had me going green for life, losing 12 pounds and having more energy and stamina than ever before in my adult years. Thank you Colleen!”

It’s actually easier to breathe when one’s head is above the ground!!! It allowed me to open up the walls around my soul and once again work from that part. Thanks.”

I especially noticed about a 95% improvement in being able to share my feelings for the first time in years. I’ve had a noticeable increase in happiness and I’m now better able to communicate with friends, family and colleagues. My Life Purpose is Inspirational Storyteller to the Masses/Author.”

During times when I felt nearly defeated, she lifted me up – reminded me of my successes, celebrated my vision and ultimately helped me turn near defeat into victory. Colleen has supported, encouraged, listened with her whole heart, asked important questions and brainstormed with me. My business is beginning to take off in a big way and I owe a great deal of my success to Colleen’s coaching expertise and support.”

I remember having a hard time balancing my time and allowing myself to BE. I now have a perfect balance and have learned how to create with less effort. I have now moved to a new City, had the courage to separate from my partner of 4.5 years, and am now focusing on my true passion of being a Spiritual Life Coach. I laugh all day with my best friend Amanda. My intuition is stronger then ever. Very cool!”
Michele Troyer

Southern Arizona“When I initially “found” Colleen on the Internet, I thought of myself as ‘a mess’. I was off work, and concerned about finances, my worth as a human being, and my ability to do the activities that bring me joy (beadwork being a big one!), as well as keeping up the house, and getting my health back. I was also fearful of doing the very things that would help me the most, such as walking and being out in nature, away from the “safety” of home and my cordless telephone. In short, I was in ‘survival mode’.
“During our first telephone meeting, Colleen introduced me to the Law of Attraction, a concept I had heard of, but had no idea of its power. That day, I put the LOA into effect in my life, and scheduled another session, to figure out my core values (whatever that meant; I had tried everything else, so this at least gave me something new to hang on to). At that session, I was so impressed that I booked another series of sessions, and have been “working” with Colleen ever since. I say working in quotes, because it feels more like play than work. Coaching is fun!
“Today, I’m still off work. The difference is my attitude toward being off work. Instead of moping around the house because I’m unproductive, and therefore worthless, I am using this time to explore “bunny trails” — side paths I would never have taken due to being so focused on the “doing” aspects of my life (If I am not constantly doing something, I must be worthless). Through working with Colleen, I have moved out of a ‘disability mindset’ into believing that wherever I am in this interesting life, I am worth spending time on – in all areas: physical, emotional, spiritual, creative and self-nurturing. This is not self-indulgence; it is doing what I need to do to recharge my own batteries in order to be of service to others. I walk in the neighborhood or at the park daily, without fear of becoming ill . My checkbook is balanced, and I have a plan for getting out of debt. My house is cleaner than it has ever been (even when I moved in!). I do something spiritual and something creative each day. Before working with Colleen, any of these would have been done sporadically, at best. Now, they are part of my routine. I would no sooner skip them than parade naked through my neighborhood. My physical health is improving and my mind is clearer. Colleen and I often share a laugh about how a ½ hour session with her does more for me than 16 years of therapy ever thought about doing. Now, I’m not surviving; I’m LIVING!
In short, I would recommend Life Coaching with Colleen to just about everyone I know; in fact, I already have.”

Southern California“Before I began my coaching with Colleen, I had been working as an assistant to a residential real estate developer. I constantly felt unsure of where my daily professional life was taking me. I knew that I wanted to be in Development, but I wasn’t quite sure how to attain my ultimate goal of a Green Real Estate Development Company. I seemed to be unmotivated at work and questioning my abilities.Colleen helped me so much in realizing what my core values were. She also taught me how to recognize, focus on, and use my strengths instead of pondering on areas that didn’t come as easily. So where as I used to feel overwhelmed and disappointed at the tasks that I couldn’t complete, I started to focus on things that I had accomplished and completed. With this change of view, I felt better about my days, and things started flowing more easily – even in my personal life.
“I am now a Project Manager for a Development company specializing in Assisted Living Facilities. Although it is not a Green Development Company, my mentor is aware of my goals, and from day one has encouraged me to acquire as much training and knowledge as possible. For the first time in my life, I know that I am not spinning my wheels at a pay-the-bills job. Each day, I’m learning more and getting that much closer to starting up my own company. It’s an uplifting calm that’s come over me, and I definitely am now aware of and living by my core values.
“So in addition to starting a new job, I have since gotten my Notary Public Commission, Real Estate License and am currently studying for the LEED AP Exam. I have become more efficient at my job which in turn has allowed me to enjoy more of my free time. I also have cut my ‘To Do’ list down simply by taking care of tasks immediately, instead of ever putting them on the list. Overall, and thankfully, I now know what’s important to me and I can not only see, but also feel the path that I will create to reach my goals.
Thank you VERY MUCH Colleen!”

Southern Arizona“With my work with Colleen, I have put myself on a clear path to my ideal life. I can tell Colleen where it is I would like to go and she helps me map the path to the goal I am seeking. She does not lead me but is a faithful and clear-headed companion on the journey. When I come across a barrier or a turn in the road, she helps me discern what it is I am actually facing. I am then able to choose the next step confidently
“Some of the action plans I have formulated with Colleen are ways to better communicate with my husband and ways to balance work with quality time with my daughters. I have taken to writing letters to my husband having realized that this is the most effective way to handle emotional issues with him. I have created a family night that has become my daughter’s favorite night of the week. These might seem like simple solutions but when they are your ideas synthesized into an action plan with Colleen, they become quite powerful points of success
“Working with Colleen has also helped me professionally. I have been able to realize the subconscious messages I am delivering during sales calls and have been able to work to ensure that I am a magnet for success. Even working on a part-time basis, I was able to become the second highest sales associate in the region during the first quarter of this year…and with Colleen’s continued help, I plan on moving up into the top spot
“I appreciate Colleen’s gentle manner and loving spirit. I have full confidence in recommending her to others who are seeking clarity and looking to attract only the best into their lives.”

Southern California“Before I started coaching with Colleen, My life was progressive and positive. I had been turning the corner with my stock trading and working on full-filling my dream of becoming a full-time stock trader. After receiving life coaching from Colleen, my life is even more progressive and positive than ever. Thanks to her excellent feedback and intuitive mind, my success in trading has been monumental. My progress has skyrocketed as well as my trading account which has grown 40% since the beginning of the year. I am in line with my core values and allowing the process to happen, knowing whatever I wish to achieve is already available to me.”
Nancy St. Claire
Licensed Professional Counselor,
Southern Arizona“Colleen has a special talent for guiding people who are going through a transition. Her warmth, genuiness and ability to be completely present made me feel instantly comfortable. I have to admit, I did not know what to expect from life coaching. Yet, my first 30 minute session with Colleen offered dramatic results. She helped guide me to what I most needed at that point in my life. I felt that her presence and direction was completely divined. I also did the Foundation Session and felt thoroughly supported. The focus on core values and guided meditation was invaluable and I find myself going back to that whenever I need direction. Colleen has a unique intuitive style and offers a welcoming, professional and supportive environment. I whole-heartedly recommend Colleen Crook’s services as a Life Coach.”
