"I came to Melina without any expectations, and quickly found myself wanting to make the most of our appointments... Important to me, and helps me set a path to achieving my goals. Very skillfully she makes me see points that I don't even know I'm making. She does this not by putting words in my mouth, but by peeling away layers of my own uncertainty to get to the core of what I am trying to say. Most importantly, Melina helps me understand that the concerns in my life are important and that by taking steps towards addressing them my life can be better. The one word that sums up how I feel after our sessions is: lighter… and this is a good feeling." Sonia Vartanian - Full time Mom "Melina was immensely helpful; her easygoing style made me feel comfortable enough to dig deep into myself and find the answers that were always there. She is optimistic, patient and supportive - all features of a great coach. Melina is also relentless when needed - when you're feeling down and ready to give up, she just has a way to bring back your focus." Paula Distefano – Journalist "Melina’s coaching has helped me so much. She is grounded and confident, and that has helped me to shift my thinking when I am unable to see my options. She shows me that, in fact, there are many possibilities and opportunities in my life. She makes things seem more possible. My life looks more beautiful and abundant. Through her coaching I have found inspiration and am beginning to really live my dreams. Her support has had a profound effect on my life. I highly recommend her coaching." Sarah Malik - Life Coach “Does achieving happiness on your own terms sound impossible? If your answer is yes, you need to talk to Melina! I was someone who was just living with my reality and thought that changes were impossible. Melina showed me that I can change my life to achieve happiness. With her help, I could see the difference between being happy and “just living”. She made me imagine my future being a happier and fulfilled person, and that motivated me to make changes. After being coached by Melina I changed the way I used to think, and now I am in the way to fulfillment and a happier life. I feel happy and light, and it’s all thanks to Melina's coaching.” Maria Claudia Silveira - Advertising "Melina is empathetic and insightful. Her listening skills make her an excellent coach. She can help you to understand what is important and to feel good about your choices" Joanne Oyer - Full time Mom "When I first started working with Melina two years ago, I felt stuck in a very unhappy situation. I had a job for which I was ill-suited, in a company that struggling to expand. I had a tantrum prone two year old son who cried every day when I dropped him off at childcare. My son's father had been absent from my son's life, but he had reappeared, and I was struggling to find a way to include him in my son's life despite the anger I still felt at our breakup. I had a vague notion of what I wanted, but I was far too frustrated and unhappy to be able to see the path ahead of me clearly. I did not know very much about life coaches, or what benefit they could exactly provide, but Melina appeared, and it seemed divine providence that I would avail myself of her services. With her help, I made many changes. I left my job, and started a daycare in my home, which gave me an opportunity to spend more time with my son and to make connections with other parents in my neighborhood. Her help in starting my business was invaluable. She also helped so much as my son's father came back into our lives. She helped me to construct boundaries in the relationship and find forgiveness, for my own sake. It wasn't an easy process. Melina is not the kind of coach to provide the easy answer. Instead, she guided me to find my own strength to find the answers myself. I had seen a therapist for a short period of time, and I found that Melina was much more beneficial. She recognized that I was having a hard time and helped me, in very concrete ways, to find a path out of it. I highly recommend Melina. She is compassionate and giving, a wonderful listener, but certainly not afraid to give a big kick in the pants when it's needed." Cheryl Sullivan - Day Care Owner "The seminar Melina sponsored was really enjoyable and informative. She brought up points about career direction and confidence that I could really apply to my life." Jameel Webb-Davis – Start Money Smart Owner "Melina's seminar was fabulous. She is a clear and inspiring presenter. Unlike so many other seminars I have attended, I left Melina's workshop with very clear ideas about my next steps, resources, and some very clear points to consider. There are many points that Melina addressed that I still find myself thinking about (many months later.)" Rachel Garber - Education Consultant "My foray into the world of Life Coaching came in the form of Melina's seminar "C'mon, stop it! You don't have to be everything!". As a social worker and a modern woman, the topic resonated clearly with the struggles of so many of my female friends and colleagues as well as with my own: how to attend to all of the people and responsibilities in our lives without losing site of own own needs and a sense of balance. Melina's use of her own story helped to set a personal and comfortable tone, her content was rich and releveant and her warmth, energy and confidence were inspiring. I so appreciated having the time and space to reflect upon my life and to prioritize ME...Melina made that possible!" Susan Hooper – Social Worker "Melina Kunifas has a gift, a skill, a world view, a general demeanor that helped me attain a balance I had not before experienced. Her positive nature and ability to focus a client's attention on more than one way to look at a situation are important ingredients in creating a successful cooperative relationship. Coaching is an art and a skill; Melina uses both effectively." Pamela Morrone |
