My experience using Fern as my life coach has changed my life. Her ability to listen, then help me plan and set realistic goals for myself to get me to the next step is just what I needed. Her kind, but yet steady encouragement along the way has allowed me to achieve personal growth in finding peace and happiness in my personal life as well as helping me reach my career objectives.

The loss of a child is a profound grief. One that leaves you with feelings of sadness and loss that you carry with you the forever. When my husband and I met Fern and learned that she too had lost a child, a special bond formed between us. We soon learned that Fern has a natural gift, a gift of having the ability to be a good listener, she is caring, kind and is a deeply passionate person making her easy to open up to. Her positivity, support encouragement and suggestions have helped my husband and I to better cope with our loss. Fern has a passion for helping others. She has been through tough times in her life that have truly helped her to understand different experiences and perspectives.

Fern Smenyak has been involved in my life for 25 years. Through our children we began a lifetime friendship, a friendship that I am blessed to have. Fern is an empathetic, kind, and attentive listener. Her experience as a Human Resource Director has given her a wealth of knowledge that is relevant to her life coaching skills. She is a problem solver who often poses questions that require you to reflect. It’s wonderful to have someone like Fern in my life who can provide guidance and support when I need it most. Life at times can be challenging for all of us, but I am fortunate to have a friend that is a solid sounding board that doesn’t judge, but listens and offers unwavering support.

I worked with Fern to address challenges I was facing with a huge life transition. She brought a wealth of information and tools to help me set goals, get clear on what I needed to do, and explore different avenues. I loved Fern’s availability as a coach. Our sessions were productive and efficient, which was perfect for me dealing with all the challenges that I was facing. Fern brought great communication, professionalism and quality to her work. She was essential in getting me through a very difficult time and opened my eyes to things that I never thought possible. I continue to work with Fern and have come to depend on her advice and guidance. She is dependable and always helps you see all solutions and opportunities.

 I’ve had the pleasure of working with Fern for years and the experience has been truly transformational. I initially sought a coach to help me channel my emotional and mental energy more productively, particularly in work and relationships. Fern leverages her vast experience as a coach, mother, mentor and friend, combined with personal insights from her own journey, to offer invaluable perspective and wisdom when addressing any of life’s challenges. She has been an illuminating guide throughout this process, consistently reminding me of the importance of living in the present. While I’m no stranger to self-help books, YouTube videos, and podcasts in my quest for personal growth, having a wise mentor like Fern, who truly understands me and is committed to walking this path with me, has proven to be more impactful than any self-help resource I’ve encountered. My life has made a complete turnaround because of her. If you’re on the fence about starting your journey with Fern as your life coach, I will whole heartedly suggest you give her a try. Witness for yourself how much your life can improve.

Fern has been instrumental in helping me years ago with the loss of my parents but most of all, recently with the grief I have been experiencing after the unexpected loss of my husband of 44 years in 2020. I have been struggling with his loss and I finally reached out to her again. With her help and the tools she has given me , I am learning how to deal with my ongoing grief and to move on with  life and my family while keeping his memory alive and to grieve in a healthier way. Anyone experiencing life problems or grieving a loss of a loved one can benefit from her help and I recommend you reach out to Fern. You will benefit from this and won’t be sorry.
