“Robyn was exactly what I needed. No other coach has been able to be at my level intellectually and my results were amazing. She was able to tap into my inner self and figure out what drives me and what makes me me, and then use that knowledge to help heal and lead my recovery to a better self. I’d recommend Robyn to high-achieving professionals who are ready to have tools at the ready to combat burnout, take their career to the next level, understand more about what drives them, and be the best person they can be at home and at work.”
