I’m so fortunate to have crossed paths with a life coach and spiritual teacher such as Brook. Not only did she share her light with me but she taught me how to share my own light with others. When I reached out to New York Life Coaching, my life felt like it was getting out of hand. I wasn’t in the career I wanted, I wasn’t engaged with my long time boyfriend, and I lived almost everyday with a lot of fear. It wasn’t healthy and I knew that I needed some kind of guidance. Brook’s coaching style resonated with my spiritual belief and so I felt immediately that I was meant to work with her. She was able to help me work on myself internally so that I could reflect it on the outside. Through her sessions, I was able to retrain my mind and develop my own daily ritual that would benefit my mind, body and soul. As a result, I felt my life beginning to shift. I learned to accept all emotions and experiences – even the negative ones – and let them flow through me and out of me if needed. In six sessions, we worked on three goals and not once did I feel stuck. Even if there was a “set back” I was provided with the tools to continue moving forward. Today, I feel like I am the creator of my own life. I am in the process of landing my first job in my new career, I am married and I can now allow myself to process fear in a way that I won’t self-jeopardize myself. I would definitely recommend Annie’s life coaching services. When you’re ready for your next step, she will welcome you into her beautiful space.

I worked with Brook for about 4 months. I was at a stage in my life where I felt really stuck and finding it very challenging to feel empowered to make decisions and changes. After struggling in this place for more than a year, I decided that I needed help. I started researching life coaches and came across Brook’s website. I immediately felt a connection to her philosophy and the simplicity of her proposed approach. I filled out an application and began my journey with her. Brook’s style, which was tailored specifically for me and my needs, did wonders for my overall emotional and mental well-being in what felt like a very short time.I like structure and order in my life and dealing with the unknown and the what ifs gives me a lot of anxiety and stress. By working with Brook, I have learned to accept the unknown, to be present in the moment rather than living for an (uncertain) future and to ultimately be kinder and gentler with myself and my emotions. I have learned to let go and to accept that I cannot always be in control of the outcome. I have learned to trust that I have the tools and the capacity to handle things even if they do not turn out as expected. When I start to feel anxiety rise over things that I cannot control the outcome of, I remember to breathe through it and to focus on what is happening in the moment. I really enjoyed setting objectives and goals in each session.

My decision to seek a life coach was initially triggered by lack of confidence in my new job. I was also worried about imminent, big changes in my personal life; I recently got married and wanted to start a family. Brook taught me how to think differently about things in my life I perceived as problems – how to refocus to put things in perspective and remain calm when issues came up, causing anxiety. She also gave me suggestions on how to connect more with people at work and in my personal life. One of the most valuable things she helped me with was relaxation – breathing, tapping, and meditation. I liked her calm and kind nature and her outlook on life, which she passed on to me. With a therapist, I felt like I would be seeing them forever and only talking about my childhood. With Brook, the process was more goal-directed with a defined end date and our work focused on the present moment. With my confidence growing and my new ability to see events with a positive outlook, I have immediately noticed that people are responding better to me. I’ve been able to stay calm and centered with big changes going on in my life. I would definitely recommend seeing Brook to anyone who is feeling uncertain about their choices or life – career or personal.

I was looking for a life coach because I was struggling with some major career and relationship decisions. Facing both challenges at the same time was overwhelming. After working with Brook for 3 months, I have direction now on both fronts and I feel more relaxed and optimistic about the future. I’m definitely calmer and my heart is open again. Brook kept me focused on seeking guidance from love, rather than from fear. My anger and frustration abated and I could see my options better. She also kept me focused on my own needs which I was pushing aside.The meditation/centering exercises were extremely helpful. Therapy is a much longer, drawn out process and not something I felt I needed this time around. Therapy also tends to be very focused on past history and I didn’t feel the need to revisit that. This time I wanted to find short-term guidance and assistance. What’s even better, Brook was familiar with my spiritual practice, which proved to be a huge help because I wanted that to be part of the process. I would absolutely recommend Brook as a life coach/career coach to anyone at a crossroads or struggling with a life issue!

I have a nice, well-paying job yet I felt somehow unfulfilled. I was challenged to find meaningful relationships and I felt stuck in corporate America. I woke up every day not inspired and had a nagging feeling that I was selling myself short. I knew I needed to do something to move forward but did not know how. Coaching with Brook has been an evolving experience. First and foremost, I’ve learned how to treat myself better. I am now aware of how I speak to myself and how it affects my emotions. I can allow myself to process emotions instead of suppressing them. I take the time to slow down and connect with myself which I rarely did previously. By doing so, I was able to release a lot of the past and to gain self-confidence. Brook helped me establish a morning ritual so I start off my day with positive intention. I understood better what adds and what depletes my energy. I discovered my core requirements in the relationships and practice to show up fully. I am also becoming more open to people close to me and more comfortable in social situations. Since then I’ve joined new groups, ran a race, and took some fun classes. Brook has a genuine, sweet, yet strong soul. She was incredibly personable and easy to open up to. I liked that we were able to laugh at times – it didn’t make everything so serious. She has a lot of knowledge and does a great job sharing those insights. I looked forward to our sessions and always walked away learning something or feeling relief.

Brook Lin is the best! I came to her when I was at my lowest point at the end of last year. I am an illustrator with a relative successful career but I felt like I had totally messed up everything. I thought that all the good in my life had passed me by forever, and I was avoiding dealing with the consequences of past anxiety-induced actions. Brook showed me that nothing is beyond repair and helped me put everything in perspective. At our first meeting, she totally snapped me out of it by laying down hard truths in the kindest way possible, even as I was kind of having an emotional breakdown in front of her. She literally held my hand to help me reply to a difficult work email. No, it wasn’t the end of the world, but yes I had to do something about my situation instead of avoiding it forever. Brook taught me how to act like a Queen, and not a princess. Most importantly, she guided me to rekindle my relationship with God and the Universe, and to feel that love for myself and my connection with the rest of the world. I see now that everything is connected, and it all begins with our own thoughts and our subsequent actions. Every opportunity I’ve been given in my life is a blessing and not an accident. Seeing it in this way makes things less scary. The routine of meditation and prayer has made me more receptive to what doors are right in front of me, even when they first seem out of reach or even frightening.
