Testimonials

"The coaching you provided was invaluable. It helped me face fears, expand my mind and discover what it is that I want out of life, want in a relationship, what I will and won't put up with in a relationship and how to figure out if the relationship I am in is going to pass the test of time. Barb, I remain more authentic, more open, honest and happier than ever before in my life. Thank you so much for your time, concern, observations and thought provoking questions. I really do appreciate you!!!! " — Jane, nurse (was single while involved with Coach Sappho; now exclusively dating another woman),

"After surfing a web that's frequently impersonal, pessimistic, and full of nonsensical rantings, finding Coach Sappho feels refreshingly legitimate and genuine. " — Bev, lesbian dating service owner,

"Your commitment to inspiring single lesbians and lesbian couples to give themselves the love they deserve is very important and incredibly inspiring for me and other lesbian women. " — Rachael, business owner,

"I like the telephone group because it keeps me accountable....it keeps me encouraged. I want to change my life for the better and I need tools and skills to do so and I needed to reach out and find those tools and skills and implement them in my life. Plus, a lesbian coach knows more in depth on the challenges a gay person has on top of everyday life, knows all the obstacles one must face being gay...so it is kinda of an extra bonus working with a lesbian coach. Attending has helped me take a look at me and stop the insanity of me putting me on the back burner all my life and make me a higher priority. The group keeps me moving forward to the life and love I really want and not just the survival part. Also, it is conveinent to attend because you can just pick up the phone and you are in your group!" — Karen, mom,

"I am a lesbian in the closet who found Coach Sappho while surfing the net. Since working with Barb I have made some major necessary changes in my life with the support and help of Barb and the other members in my telephone group. I am thankful to have found a lesbian organization that is not a 'meet market'. This is a sincere honest place that allows me to figure out who I am, what I want and how I can get it, when it comes to love. I would recommend Barb to anyone who is struggling with any life issue. Coach Sappho is not biased or judgemental. All of the group members have been wonderful, kind and very supportive. If you are looking for a place to rest your tired emotions or life issues you have reached it at Coach Sappho. You won't be disappointed." — Brenda, manager,

"People are always willing to buy themselves a vacation, but the benefits of one fade quickly. On the other hand, the learning and new perspective you gain from Barb can last a lifetime! " — Linda, IT Professional,

"When I am most troubled in my daily life situations, Barb has a gift for listening with respect and patience, and then she gently mirrors for me in clear ways the parts of myself that I struggle with. I have grown tremendously from her insights. I hope others can benefit from her abilities to listen and give guidance as much as I have. Thank you Barb! " — Peggy, teacher,
