"I offered to write this letter for Kirsteen McDowall who was my personal trainer for a program to lose weight. In her ten-week program, I lost 17 pounds. I did not suffer and I didn't have to leave my house as the weekly meetings were via teleconferencing. I am very excited about my discoveries through Kirsteen's work. I am confident I will continue to lose weight and become even healthier over the next year. Kirsteen was on the journey with our group. She has a gentle accepting attitude making the meetings painless. She is great at celebrating our insights and she is learning along with us. Even though the ten weeks are over, I know she is on my team and will celebrate my success as I continue my program. When people tell me I am looking great, I am confident in passing them her business card as she is completely professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of personal coaching. Thank you, Kirsteen." - Judith Bakkensen (Business Owner) 253-854-4311

"If you are looking for a dynamic speaker with a great story I would like to recommend a member of SI Kent, Kirsteen McDowall. She is a Certified Professional Coach and advises people on finding the balance in life and to never, ever, give up on their dreams. Her company name is "Balancing Life." She sees each and everyone of us as valuable and precious human beings. At one point in her life she was unable to walk due to a car accident. She tells how she persevered to not only walk again, but to run. Through her triumph she has come to believe in the triumph of the human spirit. She can tailor her talk to your timeframe. She is very aware and respectful of the time alloted to her." - Louise Lea (SI Kent President)

"For men in sedentary careers who want to keep physically fit, Kirsteen McDowall's 2-day workout workshop is just the item. She'll teach you two one-hour sets of quick drills to strengthen every muscle. I felt progress after my first session - so much that I re-enrolled, for the fun of exercising with Kirsteen as coach! If you think you're already in good shape, you should try this workshop also to learn how you can do even better. It's more than worth it for anyone." - John Clark (Mobile Notary Agent)

"Having worked with several other trainers in the past, I expected to get the usual stuff -- some basic information about health and diet and of course, some guidance on getting in shape. But Kirsteen delivered much more than I expected. Her program is different on a lot of levels - I loved her unique combination of education, coaching and physical training. Kirsteen provides just the right balance of challenge and encouragement; I felt her confidence in me as well as her compassion for the emotional side of the changes I wanted to make. I learned a lot about myself and my wellbeing, and I could really feel a difference physically right from the start. I would recommend her whole-heartedly to anyone who wants to live a healthier lifestyle from the inside out." - Kathy Mallary (Certified Professional Coach)

"Meeting Kirsteen was a divine appointment-I hired Kirsteen to help me move from a stuck place. Through her coaching and caring, I can now look back and see where I had run aground. Thank you Kirsteen." - Elena (High Tech Program Manager)

"Because of the coaching process, I was able to recognize and prioritize my activities to be more in alignment with my values. I was able to reverse the 80/20 rule. I now spend 80% of my time doing what I really want to do, and only 20% of my time thinking about what I really want but don't do. I am now able to focus, and spend a majority of attention and time on those things that are important to me. By choosing you as a coach, I was able to take what seemed an insurmountable goal and break it down and establish my game plan to successfully complete my first triathlon. Finally, I was able to organize my time more effectively, choosing tasks that gave me more bang for the buck. By choosing things that make the most difference, I have more energy, and more positive choices personally and professionally." - Pam G. (Human Resource Director)

"I chose to take advantage of all three services, and I am in awe of the difference it has made in my life. I have shifted my focus from one of defeat and negativity to a place of daily exuberance and positive expectation. I feel good about who I am on the inside...and it is showin up on the outside too...I've lost over 5 inches and 5 pounds in just one month. Anyone who want to get fulfilling results that last can benefit from this unique service." - Krist S. (Loan Officer)

"I know that I can have happiness for the rest of my life, and I can do anything with Christ. It has been beneficial to identify my values. I has helped me to look at my core and really see what makes me. I began incorporating my values into my daily living to support me. I have grown so much in the last 6 months. I have gone through bad and good times. Yet, in light of it all, I was able to continue with the direction I chose to succeed. I have learned how to set goals and follow through. In my process, I have learned how to take baby steps allowing patience and longsuffering." - Bri M. (EMT)

"I enjoyed coaching because it was a great way of bouncing ideas off of someone who suspends judgement and opinions. It really helped provide a safe place for me to figure out things out for myself. I felt totally supported and I really felt like I was heard. I would recommend coaching with Kirsteen for anyone who wants to get fulfilling results." - Angela C. (Realtor)
