As a longtime seeker of truth and authentic expression, Margit has truly journeyed the territory she accompanies others through. You will feel met in the core of your Being by this remarkable, soul-full woman."
~ Eileen Keller, LMHC, Therapist and Mindfulness Teacher
"The word I would use to describe Margit’s style of coaching is “fierce”! She meets me in a fierce way, tracking what is needed in order to take me to my next evolutionary edge. She holds and comforts parts of me that are fearful, and encourages me to include their essential needs in my forward movement. On the other end of the spectrum, she asks me highly attuned provocative questions that get to the heart of my process and inspire me to dare in ways that are in alignment with my heart’s greatest desires. I feel grounded, inspired and called forward as a result of Margit’s mastery. I highly recommend her as a coach!"
~ Lena O'Neill, Bainbridge Island, Trillium Awakening Teacher and Healer
