I had the pleasure of being coached by Lani today, and it was an experience I wish I had earlier in my motherhood journey. As a first-time mom with a 5-month-old baby, I was having a hard time navigating my transition back to work and balancing being a mom with a full-time job. The anxiety of being away from my child weighed heavily on me, but Lani helped me work through these feelings and gave me the clarity I needed. She made me feel so much more confident about this next phase and my ability to handle it.

What sets Lani apart is her ability to combine her wealth of knowledge and personal experience as a mom of two with powerful insight. She has a calm, motherly energy that translates throughout the entire session, making me feel seen, supported, and understood. She guided me with such care, helping me take away actionable steps I can start implementing right away.

Her relatability, wisdom, and empowering approach were exactly what I needed. If you have the opportunity to coach with Lani, don’t wait—her guidance is truly transformative.

Lani is exceptional. Highly recommend her for all things related to relationship and parenthood challenges. Our sessions have covered both topics and Lani is able to move between both weaving a whole person narrative that even I don't see myself sometimes.

Lani draws on a wealth of lived experience as well as a science backed lines of inquiry to address the root of issues. She does it all from a nonjudgmental space that allows you to feel into your own wounds and craft your own unique medicine.

I would highly recommend Lani - especially if you have tried other forms of therapy and it hasn't been quite right the fit for you. Lani is different and deep in all the best ways.

Lani is an incredible parent coach who also weaves in her skills as a Certified Morning Altars Teacher, guiding experiences for clients in nature to create beautiful art pieces out of foraged pieces of the earth. Being led in the nature altar creation by Lani gave me an opportunity to pause and go deep within myself. I was able to access new layers of my emotional and spiritual process around some big life stuff. Lani gave powerful prompts that guided me to access beauty and openness in the midst of some of my stuck feelings, helping to give me new perspective and freedom around these issues. Ever since our session, I've felt a reinvigorated inspiration to connect with nature in an artistic way, finding all sorts of opportunities to make beauty and meaningful symbols with found objects! Lani unlocked a door for me that I believe is the beginning of a whole new, rich chapter of my life!

Lani was incredibly helpful from the start. She created a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, allowing me to openly share my thoughts. Our conversation was a breakthrough moment; she helped me transform my ideas into concrete steps. I felt empowered and inspired by the session. Lani's guidance was invaluable in helping me move forward with my project. It's amazing how much progress we made in just 50 minutes!

Lani Yadegar is BRILLIANT.

I have a daughter who's 7 and a son who's almost 4, and my marriage has been very challenged by parenthood. Lani is incisive, asks excellent questions, and helps guide me to the root cause of the issue. She gives me clear and helpful 'homework' assignments, and then follows up on them. She ends our sessions by inviting me to 'harvest' my insights, so that there's learning and growth. She draws from a wealth of personal and professional experience in relationship counseling and parent coaching.

Going further, we met for our sessions outside, with the added power and wisdom of nature.

If you're struggling with the monumental shift to parenthood, I can't recommend Lani more highly!
