Let's see what clients are saying about coaching with Vivian Taormina
When I started coaching with Vivian, I was really at rock bottom. Everything felt uncertain, and I couldn’t quite see my way forward.
What made the biggest difference was how she asked these simple, yet powerful questions that dug deep — they opened things up layer by layer without ever feeling invasive. She listened so well and always knew just how to guide me to the next layer of my own truth.
Vivian also noticed things I wasn’t even aware of — subtle shifts in my body, the way I was breathing or holding myself — and used those as clues to help me reconnect to what was really going on inside. That somatic awareness changed everything. It wasn’t just talking about my life; it was learning to feel and trust my own body’s wisdom again.
Over just a few sessions, I began to feel my eyes opening again. I could actually feel into my future a little bit, and that was huge for me.
One of the most impactful things about working with Vivian was how present she was with me — and that presence helped me start to remember who I am at the core.
Now, I’m creating again. I started a community called the Wild Women Leaders, where women can reconnect to their wildness and feminine energy. I’m not pushing anymore — I’m learning to receive, to allow, and to trust.
I wake up every day thinking, I was made for more than this. And now, I actually believe it.

I recently had my first coaching session with Vivian Taormina. I’d been feeling bad. Negative self-talk, ennui, doldrums, self-neglect, sadness, feeling lonely…ever feel like your body is filled with sand? That’s how it was.
By the end of our session, I’d had a good cry, which I needed but couldn’t get to, and just felt better.
We finished with a plan in place to take certain specific actions which, as we figured out, would be a baseline for my self care.
The next morning, sort of miraculous!–I felt like my good old self again.
I had been feeling heavy and dark for a couple of weeks. Vivian heard and reflected back what I was saying and asked questions which helped me get to the reality of my experience. I was embarrassed to cry, but her kindness and patience made it all right. Her inquiries were direct and purposeful. It was challenging–receiving help, being vulnerable, observing my own mind with empathy.
I recommend Vivian as a coach, absolutely! Heartfelt, smart, present and keen to suss out the solution(s) to my painful predicament.
I’m grateful! Thank you Vivian.

I have been going to therapy for over 20 years, worked with many betrayal trauma coaches, and have done years of the “inside work” of processing and healing on my own; so, I have lots of experience.
My first appointment with Vivian for coaching was amazing. She listens intently, then follows up with great questions for me to search my heart deeper, and guides me to come up with ideas on what I can do to achieve my goal. I felt seen and heard with her, and that she held space for me. “Healing happens in the presence of an empathetic witness” and Vivian was that for me. I love her already!
She is already a very good coach and I highly recommend her!
Definition of holding space: Holding space is creating a space so someone can take up space and nonjudgmentally welcoming and empathetically hosting the fulness of someone’s experience.

You have inspired me in the deepest aliveness and remind me all the time of the deepest presence that I am. The permission to be there, and have inspired the opening of my heart to itself, myself and others in the deepest way. You have been in infinite gift that brings me to where I can touch and feel it inside me the most!

JEN L./NEW JERSEY
You’re the best and so reassuring too, thank you so much. He’s coming over in a little while. I’ll let you know how it goes, of course. We talked and he had no idea I was hurt and he said he’s so sorry. I feel like you helped me say it in a way that he could hear, I was confident and empowered to share my feelings, he wasn’t defensive at all. Thank you so much again. It really helped.

I definitely benefited from your questions and the answers you helped me verbalize concerning where I am and how I want to move forward. It truly is up to me. I can learn from past experiences but I no longer feel they need to weigh me down or make me feel inept or prone to repetitive, self-sabotaging behavior. I am in charge of me.
[7 days later]: MY MINDSET SHIFTED GUIDED BY OUR 1:1 SESSION CLEARED THE WAY FOR HEALTHY ATTITUDE AND GROWTH. When E***** and I returned from our trip earlier this week, I was very surprised when I was packing to drive home E***** took me in his arms, looked me in the eyes, and told me he is falling in love with me. It was such a sweet moment. He said those words when he was ready. AND I WAS GOOD WITH WAITING UNTIL HE WAS READY IN PART DUE TO OUR CONVO.
