John + Miki L.
Finance had been always daunting to us. There seemed to be so many different savings we needed to make, but we did not know where to start and had a very difficult time coming up with money to save.
Miriam met us at where we were and guided us through the process of setting up clear and feasible goals - both short and long-term. She made it very easy for us to discuss our financial problems during sessions and provided us with in-depth answers to our questions. Her suggestions for saving and repaying debt helped us make progress in hitting our targets. We had the first meeting in January of 2017 and it had an immediate impact on us. We were able to save enough for a multiple business trips in February and March for my wife’s Pilates certification program that required us extra $3000 altogether.
Miriam has a passion for coaching and sincere interest in helping others improve their finances. She has encouraged us and stayed patient with us as we struggled to adjust our spending habits. She is an excellent communicator and has an ability to break down a complicated financial situation into basic steps with achievable goals. It has also been a time for me and my wife to align our financial goals and be on the same page. We love having Miriam as our finance coach.

Miriam helped me set goals that I could meet by working at it over time. Instead of being overly lofty about what was possible, we focused on small, consistent steps. She taught me useful tricks to keep my spending down. She was positive and helped to counter the "self beat up" I experienced when looking at my finances. There was a sense of steadily building - a new approach towards finances.

Miriam's financial coaching has made a significant impact on our lives! My husband and I had both lost our jobs within 2 weeks of one another. Due to Miriam's coaching we were able to save enough money during our time of employment that afforded us the opportunity to remain in our apt until our lease expired. In previous years, due to lack of financial illiteracy, this may have led to an eviction. Miriam has educated us, coached us and helped us achieve great and lasting results!
Marcia + Jason
My fiancé and I were seeking some financial guidance as we approached our wedding day. Miriam was fantastic! She has a gift for listening. She prompted Marcia and I with important questions, listened to our needs, and took what we said to design a plan that really supported us. Miriam was very professional in a very non-judgmental way. She provided us with a solid plan to pay off our debt by our target date, create a budget that worked for us BOTH and most importantly, helped us build our foundation as newlyweds.

Miriam's coaching and advice has been exceptionally helpful. I track my expenses but find it hard at times to see the big picture of my financial priorities and goals in line with my day to day spending habits. Miriam helped me structure a financial plan that’s simple, empowering and encouraging while steeped in action, practicality, and a sense of self-accountability. She advises with a patient, friendly and non-judgemental insightfulness that made me comfortable with discussing all of the sensitivities and particulars of my financial situation. After just two sessions I have set up an emergency fund and I have paid off a credit card, both directly due to the strategies that Miriam laid out. Both have made a significantly positive impact on my financial health in addition to all the other helpful tips and advice from Miriam. I recommend her as a coach to anyone who wants to get and stay in control of their financial lives.
