Appreciation

Sales Leader & Consultant
It is a beautiful challenge to put into words the magnitude of transformation that Levina has guided me to create in my own life. Working with Levina has illuminated the path to my truest, most magnetic, and most creative expression of self.
I've created career opportunities, relationships, major life milestones, and community beyond what I ever thought possible. More importantly, I have a sense of home within myself — I trust myself, I take responsibility for my own talent and creativity, and I am deeply connected to the core of who I am.
Levina continues to level up as a coach—the space she holds is clear, expansive, and leaves me no choice but to show up as my best self, for myself. I cannot recommend working with her more highly, and I am a proud client for life.

I've worked with many coaches over my decades-long career, and I've not worked with anybody who does the work Levina does with me, ever. Her brilliance operates at a level beyond words — because she works at a level way beyond words.
What makes her exceptional is her profound capacity to listen with her entire being. She takes in not just what you're saying, but the deeper currents moving beneath your words. She processes everything through an internal filter that cuts through any bullshit, discovers the essential truth and gems, and shines it back to you with extraordinary clarity.
The clarity she brings is startling – the kind that makes you jump. She has an uncanny ability to articulate what your soul is trying to tell you, illuminating aspects of yourself that are essential to your journey but that you haven't yet dared to fully acknowledge. Yet.
This is her unique gift: she listens at a rare depth, then articulates what she perceives with razor-sharp precision and zero collusion with whatever stories you might be telling yourself. She doesn't follow any standard coaching playbook or fall into predictable patterns. Instead, she operates as a clear channel, distilling complex situations into their core truth with remarkable accuracy and insight.
She listens acutely and speaks directly — all from a deep sense of service to you and all you wish to be. It's a true partnership of discovery. And, you know Levina's got the torch to light the path ahead.
After our sessions, I consistently feel expanded – like my world has grown larger and my connection to my own power has deepened.
To put it bluntly (with a British accent!) she is sharp as fuck and if you have the opportunity to work with her — do it!

There are no words big or rich enough to describe Levina and her true impact on me.
She’s met me in all contexts, in all seasons, and she’s guided me higher in my being, in my thinking, in my partnership, in my family relationships, in my leadership, in my influence, and in my work.
I have become more ME in every area of my life because, in our very first session and every day since, she has seen so much more in me and for me than I was able to see for myself.
I will never stop being grateful for this experience, for the gift of her wisdom and presence in my life.

Working with Levina was the single best investment I have made in my personal and professional development.
As someone who loves self discovery, I was skeptical about what else I could get out of our work. I didn’t think there was much uncharted territory left. I was quickly proven wrong. There is life before Levina and life after Levina.
She showed me how to connect with myself and the people in my life in a way that I didn't even know was possible. This changed my life. I experienced the power of authenticity, vulnerability, and transformation to their greatest depths. I am endlessly grateful for everything we created together.

I reached out to Levina from a dark place of massive burnout, unhappy with my career and wanting so badly to create major waves in my life, but thoroughly exhausted and riddled with decision paralysis that kept me from taking any first steps. I was also presiding over a not-yet-started book project that had been sitting in my anxiety closet for ten or so years, eagerly awaiting a birthday.
My time with Levina was pure magic-making. Yes, I finally started writing my book AND I also found unbelievable expansion in countless other areas of my life AND accepted a job offer for a position that has me truly excited to be part of a company for the first time in years.
Levina provided exactly what I needed to guide myself through this past year and come out overflowing with and aware of my own power. She showed me where I was creating limitations on myself and encouraged me gently out of my own way. She helped to ingrain in me habits that have extended far past the book to my personal relationships, my work relationships, my view of myself and my capabilities, and the way I relate to my finances. She created the space for me to do my OWN work, offering me nothing aside from intelligently-selected tools and light shed on the realities of my situation. Finally, and potentially most importantly, she did not put up with any of my bullshit, and managed to do so in a way that left me feeling thoroughly supported all the while.
The level of attention, care and work she was doing on her end to ensure my success and the success of our agreement was evident every step of the way. A naturally gifted coach, I refer to Levina as my own personal Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. In reality, she showed me the obstacles and encouraged me to do the removing myself, leaving me stronger and more capable as a result.
Levina is a treasure and our work together was an invaluable investment in myself.

As I look back on my notes from coaching with Levina, my revelations — in wild scribbles, peppered with exclamation points and accented with bold underlines — bring me both chuckles and satisfaction. I’ve grown so much through our work together.
In our first few sessions, I brought her my biggest hurdles, challenges, and worries. We quickly uncovered that they were not what they seemed… and that they were certainly conquerable.
Today, my old thought patterns — parochial and clouded — feel like a distant memory. Levina was an important guide for me in this transformation, through many difficult moments. Our time together was valuable and pragmatic, and I am grateful for her generous listening and powerful questions.

Founder of LIVIN Plant Design & Care
My experience with Levina was transformational by ten folds. It provided me tools and a brave space to come into more of myself. I felt both held and stretched into uncomfortable areas that I was refusing to face for a very long time. Our time together was full of powerful realizing, authorizing my own potential, and beautiful creation.
I had decided the same week that I was considering working with Levina that I wanted to build my own company. I was full of fear and self-doubt. In the beginning, the financial and time commitment of working together intimidated me. But, when I learned more about what our work together would open for me, my body reacted in a very strong way, telling me that it was exactly what I'd been craving.
Working with Levina pushed me to authorize myself as an entrepreneur. In the span of 6 months since we launched, we've worked with 20+ dream clients across New York City. But that's not the only thing nor the most important thing that I gained. I reconnected with my family in the most powerful and creative ways, gained tools to embrace and express my queerness more fully, experienced the magnitude of asking for what I want and owning my power, and saw firsthand the beauty and power of creating with community.
I could not be more grateful for this experience. My time with Levina has helped me come into myself as a human, leader, creative being, and entrepreneur.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I was walking one way, you spun me around, and then I found myself walking in an entirely new direction, maybe even back towards the same direction I had come from.
I came to our call with a list of goals, and you listened generously, understanding what was lying below my first, second, and sometimes third answer. It turns out that goal sheet was total bogus. My being needed recalibrating. Now I think of my being like a garden that needs to be nurtured. And I LOVE being the person I get to create. Instead of removing labels, I have been applying them, like "greatest husband" or "most savvy and caring advisor". I live them and as such, I become them. Thank you for helping me understand this and thank you especially for the WAY you taught me and the APPROACH you used. You cared enough to tell me what I really needed to hear. You changed my life and I am grateful for your gift.
A few things have happened in the last year: I spoke with you. The fog cleared. I decided to write a chapter. I decided to write a 70k word book. Along with my wife, I created "The Rising Board", an extraordinary dinner series for people playing a big game, with a charitable component to the night. We created a community foundation and brought diversity into our boardroom. I decided to publish with a major publisher, Forefront/Simon Schuster, rather than self publish. I created an inaugural charity hockey tournament with other financial firms in Boston and Manhattan ("I can still be the athlete and hockey player I always was").
I wanted you to know that without changing my being, without first taking care of my mind, my thoughts and my family, none of this would even be on the table. Unequivocally our work was the foundation of my motivation, which took on its own shape and form almost as if divinely brought to my attention/reality. I cannot explain it any other way.
You made a difference in my life and Betta's life and I am overwhelmingly proud and aware of the life I created.
Zoë Björnson
Head of Product at Liminal
I came into working with Levina wanting to transform my life, and I got it.
Our work together took me out of my comfort zone, and it taught me the benefits of getting comfortable with discomfort. It helped me see why I show up in this world in the way that I do, then helped me unlearn and rewrite those behaviors to unlock something new inside of myself for now and the future. The beauty of our work together is that I was truly given tools, not just a solution, for how to transform my life and relationships, and I can use those tools forevermore.
What I'm really most proud of is my overall happiness. I came into working with Levina after working through depression and anxiety. I was on the up and up, and then our work helped me access the confidence and power I knew I had inside of me to be the me that I know I am.

When Levina and I started our work together, I thought I needed to get more clarity. I quickly discovered that what I needed wasn’t really clarity — it was to remember how powerful I am and see how much more is possible that it’s time for me to step into.
I developed a new kind of accountability to myself that I didn’t know I was missing. I used to think that, if I prioritized myself, everything would fall apart. Now, I value my priorities and my time for myself in a way that I never used to. It sounds so simple, and yet it has been such a profound transformation. I finally started closing doors that I had left half open throughout my life. I completed projects and commitments that had been sitting for years. And I created new projects that I are know are my life’s work. Working with Levina helped me get aligned to what matters most and expose the golden threads of my life. It connected so many dots.
Working with Levina is a game changer. It’s that simple. Our work together has transformed my life deeply in ways that are still unfolding. The ceiling has become the floor in my life, again and again, at a stunning pace. Her grace, vision, and sage wisdom are a gift to the world. Our futures are brighter because of the intentionality, care and integrity that Levina brings to all spaces she holds.

When I reached out to Levina, I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. It was terrifying and exciting at the same time. I wanted to work with her because my sister had worked with her. I saw a huge shift in her life, and I wanted what she got.
Working with Levina was life-changing. Truly. We broke down every barrier that I imagined was in the way of the life I wanted. Being able to see, acknowledge, and work through the thinking that held me back has been an incredible experience, and it has transformed the trajectory of my life, career, relationship, family, and so much more. Forever. I could not be more grateful for our work together.

Working with Levina is powerful, to say the least. She is a force of nature and an absolutely masterful guide.
Our work together was a powerful experience in anchoring in what I am committed to creating, and rooting it in integrity between my words and my actions. Even the seemingly simplest adjustments Levina offered have been the key to monumental shifts in both my internal and external landscape. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and presence in my life.
Elisabetta Entwistle

Working with Levina was one of the most unique and valuable experiences I have ever had.
I came into our work thinking that I would learn how to be a better coach. I got so much more. It might sound simple, but I really met myself and, as a result, gained so much confidence in myself as a leader.
I am so thankful for our work together and will be forever grateful for what I learned and unlearned as a result. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Britt Pham
Creative Producer & Facilitator
Working with Levina was truly an honor of my lifetime. No number of words can adequately describe everything there is to say about this experience.
I went into our work thinking I was going to "find myself," that I was going to get "the thing" that I needed.
Instead, I discovered that I truly get to choose who to be in each moment. And, that I have the power to move through decisions, feelings, and doubt WITH myself. I learned to truly, deeply listen to myself in every moment. This has been a powerful breakthrough and practice that I’m taking for the rest of my life.
The level of vulnerability and accountability that we held in our space transformed me for a lifetime, and I will forever be grateful for that. My advice for anyone considering this work is: DO IT! You will discover that you are supported, you are loved, and you are powerful beyond measure.

Words can’t do this justice. So many things opened up for me in our time together. So much happened that I didn’t even realize that I didn’t think was possible.
My life started moving in big ways as a result of the powerful way that I connected with and had conversations with people. I thought of you every time.
Throughout our time together, your greatest contribution to me was the powerful way you listened to me. I am deeply grateful for all that you heard and saw in me. The way you listen and your spirit and energy are amazing. Thank you for being who you are. I love you! Thank you for everything you’ve given me, sincerely.

Thank you for your time, energy, and continuous support. This has been an incredible journey, and you were present every step of the way.
The space you held and created for me came from such a pure place that it created a feeling of safety and allowed me to be truly open. You showed me that so much is possible if I am committed. You are an extraordinary leader and create such a special space for those around you.
It’s hard to express in words the way that I want to thank you. You’ve had such an incredible impact on my life. It is a pleasure to be with you and be coached by you. Thank you for being you, and I wish you all the love and blessings in this life.
