More Testimonials

Hi, My name is John Wheeler, and I am Kieta’s little brother.  I am her real little brother, not one of the tons of other people who think of her like a sister. I think that Kieta is one of the best big sisters around because she has played a very big role in making me who I am today.  I am the coolest person I know, and I give about 99 percent of that credit to Kieta.  When I was younger, I wanted to be just like my sister.  Kieta played water polo, so I played it.  Kieta swam, so I swam.  My sister gave me my very first pair of Vans.  They were her old pair that were super dirty, filled with fox tails, and were at least 3 full sizes too big for me, but I wore them every day.  Kieta has always done a great job of taking care of me.  While in high school, I would spend spring break in Arizona with her.  When seeking advice, my sister is almost always on the list for me.  Not only does she knows me very well, but she takes the time to really care about what’s going on with me.  She and I are a lot different in what we believe, but she has always been very supportive of me no mater what I choose.  I can’t think of anyone else in the world that I would choose to be my big sister. I'm very proud of the work she does and having benefitted from her playing such a major role in my life, I encourage you to work with her. She's the best.

My professional relationship with Kieta quickly became a friendship due to her easy going nature. Our work was never just on one part of life, but whether discussing issues at work or my family life, Kieta always gave a perspective that I might not have arrived to alone. She is not only extremely approachable, which makes working with her very comfortable, but she has vast knowledge of a lot of topics, which she applies to help you find your own inner wisdom. I found the strength I needed to go through with my divorce and I have much better control when it comes to communicating with my ex-husband. I truly miss seeing and speaking with Kieta on a daily basis.

At crossroads in my life I have often sought clinical therapy.  In therapy it has always been advised to me to seek a friend as a confidant and supporter in my life.  This has always been hard for me as being married and having a child, friends sometimes come last and the old friends I have had are not necessarily the type of friends for serious life contemplations.  This is my own fault as I have led somewhat of a tumultuous past and those old friends are not the healthiest to seek advice from.

Kieta is a great friend to have. When talking to Kieta, she not only gives me feedback, but in her infinite wisdom guides me to resources that can be helpful in certain circumstances, being the well-read person that she is. She led me to When You’re Falling, Dive by Cheri Huber. Between the book and our work, I regained a sense of perspective while learning to love myself and be comfortable in my own skin.

I can’t thank Kieta enough. She never judged me and was always there for me no matter how outrageous or ridiculous my circumstances were (by the way that is negative self-talk that I am learning not to practice). I am proud of the person I am, interesting life experiences and all… there is that better, Kieta?

Having to write a review for Kieta's life coaching takes me way back. As someone who started off as my supervisor in the social work field and the one person who constantly challenged my thoughts and perception on the world, she has now not only become one of my best friends, but someone that I truly know I can turn to for guidance on anything from family, intimate relationships, to career advice.
Kieta has an amazing ability to recognize patterns of destructive behavior and thoughts and make you realize that the thought process affects all areas of life, not just personal or career alone. I have learned that to be truly at peace and have a balance, I need to accept and appreciate where I am in my life, at the exact moment. Having a true sense of where I am, where I have been and where I want to go is a struggle; it’s not easy. But I often find myself challenging my own thoughts and reverting back to conversations and advice from Kieta. It’s all about redirecting your thought process and going for it.
I have personally seen Kieta go through major changes in her personal life and knowing what I know of Kieta, I have no doubt in her ability to redirect positive change in anyone’s life.
