My Clients Say...Brady is professional, insightful, skilled.
--MC, December 2017 My husband calls Brady his Personal Life Coach. I call her my Spirit Guide. --Coaching Client, January 2017 My work with Brady has been life changing and rewarding. I came to see her with the goal of getting back to my writing after leaving a 22 year career and transitioning into a new industry and new job. I hoped to skip over many of the emotions of this big change and jump right into enjoying a new life and getting past writer’s block. In our first meeting, she gently suggested we would need to unpack the “backpack” I was carrying first. So our work began. Brady’s style is supportive, kind and action oriented. She is probably the best listener I’ve ever encountered. Meaning, she’s actively picking up signals from your body language and your words. Often she’ll point out a word or phrase you used repeatedly and you’ll explore together where these come from. This can uncover all sorts of emotions to re-examine and most often, let go of. At one point Brady told me what we were really doing was “updating my beliefs.” I like that. It feels non-judgmental and didn’t require so much examining the past as it does questioning whether long-carried beliefs are still relevant to my current circumstances. If you work with Brady and she asks you, “would you be willing to try something?” – say yes. She’s quite clever at getting to the root of things and has many methods that can even be fun. I feel everyone should have a Brady in their corner. -- Coaching Client, August 2016 Brady is the perfect balance of solid common sense, emotional connection, a great sense of humor and abundant empathy. She has a vast knowledge of the practical issues surrounding important life passages and transitions. She helped me navigate divorce proceedings and the death of a family member. We are currently facing my struggles with another family member with a fatal disease. I say "We" are facing these issues because that's how I feel when I talk with Brady. She is "in it" with me - sharing an intimate and vulnerable moment with an open heart. Brady gently guides me through these emotional and mental "mind bombs" with grace, intelligence, compassion and kindness.
Brady has an affinity with the metaphysical and the ability to incorporate this knowledge into everyday life. I regularly experience a sense of spiritual awakening, or an "ah ha" moment after a session with Brady. She has the gift of listening and responding to you as would a cherished friend. Brady provides the messages and tools that I use to create comfort and peace throughout my day. I highly recommend Brady as an extraordinary life teacher and coach. - Coaching Client, Ann Arbor On the outside I appeared successful. But on the inside I felt so panicked and choked by bottled up emotional pain I could barely breathe. And worse yet, none of my usual responses to problems were working and I felt like I was leaping from one barely-managed moment to the next without a net. Meeting Brady changed my life. She brought great insight, intelligence, and compassion to our sessions, plus an amazing array of holistic trainings and tools. As my coach, she helped me discover a great deal about myself, including a predisposition to please others, a morbid fear of criticism, and an underdeveloped sense for what I wanted. Now, many months later, I live life with greater equanimity and greater happiness than I ever thought possible. Life is a journey, and I'm so grateful to Brady for her help getting me on track to living the authentic, full, and joyful life I want.
- Coaching Client, Ann Arbor Brady has been one of my greatest teachers!
- Coaching Client, Ann Arbor I often think of you and am so thankful for the help you gave me. You were the turning point in my life.
I finally found the strength to leave my marriage .....My business has grown considerably so it is a relief to have some financial stability..... I am happier than I could have imagined. Thanks to you I found the strength I needed. - Coaching Client, Ann Arbor Brady is amazing! Genuine and perceptive, she is skilled at helping you tease out your current concerns and provides just the right amount of guidance in creating your new life path. In just a few sessions, she has helped me to move on from unhealthy work and personal relationships and recreate my life with new awareness, hope and support. Brady truly has a gift for helping others, and the wisdom and insight to do so hand-in-hand with her clients.
- Coaching Client, Ann Arbor When I think of being in Brady's presence the first thing that comes to mind is LIGHT. She shines the light on my life's happenings in a gentle and illuminating way. What also comes to mind is the Who song: See me, feel me ( metaphorically speaking :) ). Brady is compassionate and wise. She shares "tools" with me that facilitate change in/respect for my life.
- Coaching Client, Ann Arbor "Having the opportunity to work with Brady is to be the lucky recipient of a gift that blesses on both visible and unseen levels. For me, the blessings have manifested in myriad mental, physical, and spiritual ways; and with Brady's insight and guidance, I experience a reconnection of those aspects within myself. Even more exciting, I realize a tangible relationship with the mystery of what lies beyond myself and the obvious. Brady's wisdom and dedicated coaching support has enabled me to let go of self-imposed chains, become open to possibilities, and take giant personal leaps forward in just a few, short years."
-LH, Whitmore Lake I've known Brady for many years and only dabbled in her professional life until I found myself in a transition that I needed guidance with. This transition was so foreign, I did not know how to look at it, feel it, and process it. Every day I had a new plan....with no energy or ability to complete it. Then I started to see Brady. She is warm, welcoming and supportive.
Brady is excellent at what she does. Her knowledge and training is never-ending, she is passionate, and it shows in every session. You will be enveloped in her warmth, compassion, and support from the minute you meet her. Her listening and flexibility allowed for the complexity of who I was and she helped me move through and process, the events , and the feelings that were tangled and stuck and making it hard for me to proceed. My time with Brady during this major life transition and -- it turns out the unrecognized burn-out I was experiencing -- taught me how to reconnect to all of my senses and emotions, go into exploration, honor who I was and am, recognize and celebrate what I have done and lo and behold, give myself permission to not have to fix everything! I have learned techniques that will keep me on a path of love and acceptance, and learned the importance of allowing myself time to refill my well. Her training, experience, and passion make her an excellent life coach and I do and will continue to highly recommend her. --PM, Ann Arbor Post divorce grief and depression brought me to the lowest most devastating point in my life. Brady Mikusko carefully and lovingly guided me and helped me navigate my journey through the depths of despair. Brady’s intuitive wisdom and uncanny ability to find meaning in the plethora of emotions I was experiencing allowed me to not only make it to the other side but to arrive stronger, happier and more in touch with myself than I ever thought possible.
Brady remains a positive force in my life. When I find myself starting to feel like I am falling off my chosen path I call Brady and she is always, always there for me. She has become a trusted friend and adviser. Her good humor and beautiful spirit continue to guide me. Brady has taught me to open myself up to the universe, ask for what I need and accept those gifts. Brady is truly a gift that I will always treasure. If asked to give advice to a woman struggling with divorce {and life} I would tell her to seek out the guidance and support of Brady Mikusko, hands down the best thing I have ever done for myself. - MT, Ann Arbor In just over one year, my life has been dramatically transformed, largely due to Brady's skill and expertise in leading me through an amazing journey of self-discovery. I first came to see Brady for divorce coaching, initially feeling that life was something to be endured, lacked joy, and feeling like I was just going through the motions. I had lost much of my spirit during an unhealthy 12 year marriage that left me feeling depleted.
With Brady's unique gift, I was guided in the right direction to rediscover and reclaim my life, to find that part of myself that had been hidden, the part that was filled with joy, hope, and a connection with others. I now look forward to every day, feeling that there is so much to be thankful for, so much to be enjoyed, and excited by what might be coming my way. I feel confident and am accepting of myself, just the way I am. Family members and colleagues are definitely responding to me in a much more positive way, and I have a renewed appreciation and tolerance for them as well. I now feel I have a choice in how I respond to life's many challenges and unpleasant situations, and am able to successfully use some of the strategies I learned from Brady, and am amazed at my own power. I truly don't believe I would have gotten to this point without Brady's extraordinary coaching skills and effective use of her various techniques, her compassion, respect, and her gentle approach that created a safe environment for me. I originally came to Brady thinking she would help me through the divorce process, but I certainly got so much more than that. I got my life back and have never felt better. I highly recommend Brady's services to anyone who would like to find their own power to live a fuller and more satisfying life. - CS, Ann Arbor In a time when I had completely isolated my self and needed a guide, Brady was there. Although there are many wonderful things I could say about her style, the most admirable and rare was that she didn't make others in my life bad or wrong. She simply provided me with tools and language to protect myself and allow myself the space to heal and become my higher self. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Brady.
- MS, Ann Arbor I am very thankful for having Brady in my life as my life coach. I very much enjoy her spirit and openness, and am grateful for her flexibility no matter what topic I bring in to work through. Being coached by Brady has helped me to find an easier way to get in contact with my inner self and emotions, as well as finding clarity for many parts of my life.
- SR, Ypsilanti Brady’s commitment to her own self-development has given her an impressive set of life coaching skills. She listens closely, sees a broad perspective, and shares insights and tips for taking the necessary actions to achieve one’s heart’s desires. Working with Brady has opened doors into new vistas of possibility and fulfillment, with almost immediate results: more clarity about what matters to me, more confidence about making career changes, increased tranquility about my future, and many positive responses from the Universe! A wonderfully supportive environment for achieving personal growth and success.
- Coaching Client, Ann Arbor Brady Mikusko is brilliant. As a life coach, she is truly gifted. Before I met Brady I had come to the realization that whatever I was doin' on my own just wasn't workin'. Brady was instrumental in helping me to clarify my dreams and undo specific self blocks that needed to be identified, addressed, and worked with in a tangible way in order to create the life I desired. I knew where I wanted to go, and with Brady, I found the insightful, intelligent, compassionate help I needed to get there. Not only did I get there (and then some!), but the process for me was much quicker than anticipated. I now have my own dream business, a more balanced life, and greater joy. Brady's work is focused, thorough, and effective. I could not have done it without her.
- WP, Ann Arbor Brady Mikusko has a blessed tool box. She reached into it and selected the perfect ones for me to use. She showed me how to use them. One day, after a few months of coaching, I felt like I'd finally turned the corner, I was able to breathe. I was lighter, I felt better. I could experience pain and fear and not have it do me in. I had tools to use.
My life began to be real. It sounds fantastic, but I was able to end a damaging relationship I had clung to out of fear, I was able to see myself honestly, I was offered a new job! Not only did Brady's tools help me feel good in my own skin, they opened the door to other possibilities. I've been through therapy three different times in my life. Nothing had such an amazing results as Brady's gifts for showing me how to help myself think differently, see the world differently, and embrace life. I will always be grateful to her for her coaching. - CB, Ann Arbor With Brady Mikusko as life coach, I have felt safe enough to allow myself to fly for the first time in my life without a flight plan or destination. Just to experience the altitude, the sensation of traveling, and the trust I want in myself as a pilot.
In the months I have worked with Brady, I have learned to rely on my self-knowing. I have ventured into new places in my heart. I now own new skills. I am able to know on a cellular level if my answer is a "yes" or "no". I have acquired the confidence from baby steps to take bigger steps toward what I am uncovering that I want. Brady is an extraordinary life coach. She has acute sensitivity in ascertaining what is at the heart of things. Nothing about her or the way she works is formulaic. As a client, I feel strongly that she is picking up on every detail and will not forget a thing. She takes each session as it comes and is willing and capable of making impromptu, unplanned decisions about direction and approach for my benefit. Every aspect of her coaching is in complete service of the client and I am sure that every one of her client's is guided in a unique and individual manner. I have been the beneficiary of her amazing intuition, her extremely wide and creative repertoire of approaches and techniques, her genuine warmth and humor, and her profound appreciation for the dignity in struggling to find one's path. - LS, Ann Arbor Brady Mikusko combines warmth and sensitivity with her experience, and my work with her as a coach was fulfilling and enlightening. I felt such a strong sense of support and caring from her in a very short time. I would without hesitation recommend her as a coach. Her work as a therapist has uniquely prepared her for her work as a coach. She is comfortable with the difference and can discern the difference between the two. The ease and enthusiasm that she brings to her coaching sessions is contagious.
- Jane, New York I am a happy, healthy professional mother with a good support system. Yet in recent years, I also felt stuck in a couple areas of my life that limited many things for me. I had written most of a scholarly book (for which I had a contract), but years had passed and I could not complete the project. I had reached a point where friends and family did not understand my block and my desperation.
Brady proved an ideal person to help me see what was keeping me from finishing this crucial project. In just a few sessions, we talked through my desires and fears. She helped me see my accomplishments. Most importantly, Brady helped me to devise a plan--practical, do-able steps to complete my book. Voilá: in less than a year, I did complete my book! I feel wonderful and ready to move on to other projects. Serious personal problems also surfaced in the past year. Brady easily shifted agendas and helped me to cope, strategize, and re-gain control over my life. I find Brady to be a wise, caring, and practical person. She has provided me with a range of tools to gain clarity, calm, and energy in different aspects of my life. Brady’s diverse educational background makes her ideal to assist individuals in academia with their special challenges. - DK, Ann Arbor Brady channels her vast knowledge of strategies, resources, and experiences into each session and provides an approach that is personal, caring, and flexible. She is a gift!
- Coaching Client, Ann Arbor We know that outcomes are better when we use the best tools. Brady has a toolbox full of excellent tools, and the knowledge and sensitivity to choose and teach the appropriate ones. Working with her was a profound experience that continues to resonate.
-Coaching Client, AA
Initially, I came to see Brady for divorce issues as I was navigating my way through the divorce process. Since then, we have tackled family issues, work issues and relationship issues. She is fantastic and very compassionate. I leaver her office feeling great and ALWAYS look forward to my next visit. I highly recommend Brady.
- Coaching Client, AA I first met Brady when my attorney suggested I needed help when going through a very contentious divorce and mediation. Her calm, level nature helped me immeasurably to understand the divorce process...She was my protector, all the while quietly teaching me how to stand up for and believe in myself. It was an obvious transition for Brady to become my life coach after the divorce. I have always left her office with either a new approach to a problem, a more practical view point to consider, greater peace when I was distraught, ideas to ponder or a new technique when I needed to be grounded.
Brady is gifted beyond words. I am so glad she entered my life when she did and has stayed solidly in my corner since. -LS, AA |
