What my clients say

Happy Clients' Feedback

Don't take my word for it; see what my clients' experiences were like.

Jillian is a genuine and talented coach! She kept me motivated, organized and focused on the goal, and made me be accountable for my choices. i can't say enough good things about this lovely human!

MARGERY N.

Jill is a very down to earth and helpful person! I loved our sessions and she really helped me stay focused on what's most important to my goals. She also was a wonderful support when my father passed away, helping me take care of myself thru a difficult time. And she made doing it all remotely very smooth and easy. I very much recommend her coaching services.

Y Kelly

Jillian is someone who truly cares about people and helping them find their happiness. She has had a very genuine way about helping me take accountability in order to move towards positive changes in my life. She has always been honest with me but in a very kind way that has enabled me to be more honest with myself. She has taught me how to reframe to gain a more positive outlook in my everyday life and to take responsibility for my own energy - something that I really wasn’t doing prior to working with her that was having a very negative effect on myself and those around me. If you truly want to make changes in your life or within yourself I highly recommend Destiny Unbound Coaching. Jillian is real, supportive, kind and consistent and she truly cares about helping you reach your goals and finding your happiness in this world.

Adrianne K.

I enjoyed my time working with Jillian. She gave me solid tools to help me move forward. Great tips on how to reward yourself when you’re on your way to your goal, exercise discipline, and healthy ways to navigate through the ebbs and flows of life. I felt seen, heard and honored during my sessions and would strongly suggest Destiny Unbound Coaching!

Victoria

Start with a free consultation. Asking for one was the single best decision I have ever made. By working with Jillian on a weekly basis, my life has been completely transformed in less than 365 days. And I am not just saying that. Literally, every aspect of my life has improved. She taught me how to make small changes to my behaviors, so those behavioral changes would eventually stick and become habits, and those habits would help me to build a strong foundation, which empowered me to do some of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life and I couldn't be happier with what happened when I did! Her extensive education and her professional experience is invaluable, she can actually reflect on your experiences and offer unique insights that provide you with the information you need to improve whatever it is you're working on. Jillian's heartfelt, practical, and consistent approach to life coaching simply works. You've only got this one life, and it is what YOU make it, so what are waiting for? Go for it with Destiny Unbound!

LOVE LIGHT

Jillian has helped me reach many of my own life goals. She is able to help unlock my potential within myself and create a path to a better me!Yup

Tucker

Jillian has been great to work with. Her simple and incremental approach really helped me at improving the aspects I am targeting to be my best self. She also taught me various methods to maintain my own forward progress. Our passion for live music - Phish in particular - was a really fun element to weave into our coaching sessions.

James

Jillian is such a pleasure to work with as my life coach. I am grateful for her guidance and the tools that she has given me to succeed in life and starting my new business. I couldn't have done it without her.

Jillian is great! Working with a professional to outline plans and achieve goals has been super helpful. From scatter brain to clear path. Highly recommend! 👍

Working with Jillian has indeed made me a happier me. More organized, more efficient, more confident, better at my job--and in a cleaner house! I really appreciate her guidance.

Jean P.

Having Jillian as my life coach is like cheating at life but doing it with honesty! Jillian has truly helped me in every area of my life, from meeting the right partner, to being more motivated during my work day, to helping me communicate better with everyone in my life! Most importantly, Jillian has helped me learn how to love and accept myself. No matter what crazy issues comes up in my life, Jillian always has the right advice, strategy, plan or guidance to help me tackle it! I'm truly grateful for Jillian's continued help and always honest advice as my life coach.
