Testimonials of Service
"In today's market, nothing is guaranteed. The housing market is plummeting, the stock market is volatile and unemployment is increasing. When times are hard, you need to be prepared financially for the good and bad times. You need a financial coach to get you through the bad times and help you take advantage of the good times. That's why Sonia is so amazing!!!
Through Enrichment Financial Coaching, she showed me how to get my financial house in order without me even realizing the changes were being made. (I was able to splurge on the shoes, but I didn't need five pairs at once. Who knew? )
Seriously, although I have a strong understanding of finance, Sonia was able to educate me at a very high level on better ways to save and invest. As a financial coach, Sonia was able to educate, motivate and encourage me to make decisions that I was afraid to make even with my understanding of investments. My net worth increased substationally in a few months, even in this current market!! I have a long way to go to a millionaire status but with Sonia and the continued focus on my goals...it won't be all THAT long.
Through Enrichment Financial Coaching, I learned to invest in myself, enhanced my investment education, and increased my overall portfolio all with Sonia's help. I recommend her highly...I'm mad that I waited so long to get started. But at least I did it.
A small commitment with Sonia and her devised financial plan today can grow into a lifetime of financial freedom tomorrow."

"Sonia understood that financial success can create unique family stresses that can make that goal seemingly unaccomplishable. Her emails of real-world tips, ideas, tools, and numerous other references to help me and my family make good financial decisions were invaluable. Sonia's personal exercises we performed not only enhanced the perceptions and awareness of how my wife and I perceived the financial world, but Sonia gave us the ability to truly see how each of us perceived it. This is critically important and can not be avoided if success is the goal. She was open to "work-in" our personal wants and desires but she made sure we understood the *true* price of those things. She was always available and always provided candid feedback when our family or personal goals or values were either ill-perceived, confused, or simply needed more thought. Sonia is an advisor and a counselor; a contact and a friend; an expert and a professional; a mentor and a coach."

Sonia helped me with with my 401k at work and I have seen great results. I now have a much better understanding of stocks and mutual funds. My retirement is now on track. I was a big spender with no goals or plan. Sonia help me to map out my plan, looked at what was important in my life for me and my young son, and help me to move forward. I am feeling so much better about my self and my future.

I hired Sonia as a Financial Coach in 2007 “Sonia helped me with looking at my outlook concerning money. I had no thoughts of retirement at all. My motto was to live for today and who cares about tommorro. With her guidance I now understand the that my old thoughts and attitudes were not bringing me to where I eventually wanted to be. Anyone who is looking for a person who is thoughful and caring while at the same time telling you like it is ...should seek Sonia. She will change your financial future if you are willing to really listen and act.

I hired Sonia as a Financial Coach in 2008, and hired Sonia more than once
Sonia has an amazing knowledge of financial planning. In casual conversation, I decided to not sign up with a planner and work with Sonia as my financial coach. Under her guidance, I saw my net worth grow as well as my confidence. I am glad she made the decision to share her gift with others and become a financial coach. I continue to work with her and have recommended several people (and will continue to do so).” December 27, 2007

“Sonia, worked with me to not only set financial goals, but also develop a plan to obtain those goals. She didn't just throw information at me and tell me "this is what you should do." Instead, she showed the path to the information and said "go look it up" and had me do the necessary research that allowed me to make an informed decision and to be able to explain why I made that choice.” December 27, 2007

Hey Sonia,
Enjoyed the conference last night. Now that I've heard it about four times (or more) I think I actually may be 'getting' it! yay! You can imagine how hard I have to study in school to make A's.
I think a lot of women get so depressed about money matters that they just don't want to face it at all. It's so overwhelming. And it's just ONE MORE THING! They are already taking care of so many details of life that to think of yet another is just too much. But money is the core of what makes everything else work in our lives. And we have to give it its due attention. Or like an upset child, we it will get OUR attention - and not in a good way. I feel that I've been slowly chipping away at my money challenges, and I'm finally starting to feel more clear about it. I notice that when I do something really difficult for me that when I get to the point of looking back on it I usually think, "Well that wasn't so hard at all!" It's almost always true. Thanks again.
