Clients Speak

Although I am a counselor myself, Vida’s coaching style was a breath of fresh air. I learned a lot because, at its core, her work with me incorporated my own learning patterns, exposed me to a variety of new spiritual practices and also included traditional counseling methods. Vida was tough and gentle, supportive and challenging, and disclosing and approachable. The result was a holistic counseling experience that has lead to a great deal of personal growth and development on all levels. The world looks different to me now. I suspect it wasn’t the world that changed.

You were are so authentic with us and encouraged the same kind of authenticity in us. This did not feel like a therapy group where we worked on solving problems, but was a group where I felt like I was coming into my power – for the first time in a very different way than I ever had in the past. For so much of my life I felt like I have been tossed about by this life, and did not see that I have power to make decisions to affect what happens in my life. You helped me to see that I can create intentions and follow through.

Having the opportunity to work with Vida has been phenomenal. As a coach she never provided the answers but merely guided me to the right solutions. Not only has it helped me to develop as a better leader in my professional life, but it has also helped me to develop stronger relationships in my personal life. Vida has helped me to understand myself better and how to best communicate with others. I wish I could have had the opportunity to work with her years ago!

My coaching sessions have allowed me to truly better understand myself and my individual learning style. Vida pointed out a couple of “nuggets” that I will use in my current role as manager and in my future endeavors as a junior college instructor. Our sessions have moved me in the right direction. I have recommended coaching with Vida to others at my company and believe it can be a “game changer” for individuals.

Vida is truly a patient wise-woman who helps you understand and grow by using your own personal thinking patterns. What a treasure! You have to live with yourself every single second of every single day; why not learn as much as possible?”

I’ve known Vida Groman for many years and she truly walks her talk, living life in alignment with her true self to the best of her ability – and that ability is large and ever-expanding. Vida did a reading for me several months ago. I recorded the session and then transcribed it. I’ve looked at these notes several times and each time I am newly astounded at the depth of the wisdom imparted to me. Vida brings many gifts to the reading –her strong intuitive abilities, her knowledge of personal thinking patterns, her first-hand experience of the healing journey and her compassion. She, in fact, brings these gifts to all of her healing work and matches her tools to the needs of her clients rather than fitting her clients into one modality of healing. If you are looking for support as you make your way along your own healing path, Vida would be a wonderful partner for the trek.

I came to Vida in the midst of several life transitions. With her patience and sense of humor she helped me identify old fears and assumptions. She empowered me to uncover my essential self, soul, so I could learn to listen to it and trust....find my own path. Her deep perceptions and positive outlook were very helpful. Vida respected and encouraged my own spiritual journey which is very important to me. I always left her office re-energized with life tools, thoughts to ponder and ideas to try.

"I felt a complete sense of safety with Vida. Feeling safe allowed me to put down my guard, be myself, relax and receive Vida's healing energy and her intuitive messages that were, somehow, divinely personalized for me. Vida went right for my heart where the tenderness and pain truly resided...and there we went together...to tenderly do the heart work. Such compassion and presence. Vida helped guide and remind me that not only do we give compassion and presence 'wholehearted' to others...we must not forget ourselves. I highly recommend that you see Vida if you feel bruised or broken-hearted. Her kindness, joyful humor and healing skills will give you the momentum to break open and break free."

“Vida’s compassion creates a safe space so that I can restore my sense of well-being and inner peace. With her assistance, I more easily connect with guidance from my soul regarding my relationships, purpose for my life, and how to heal hurts from the past. I leave these sessions feeling loved, energized and uplifted.”

Wow, Vida, the reading/energy scan session you provided was so powerful. So much amazing info and so different from what I expected. I am still digesting the content and so much of it makes sense with what I have been experiencing as my own blocks, fears and limiting beliefs. It all makes so much sense, and deeply honors and confirms the work I have been guided to do, as well as my challenges in bringing it forth. I felt so deeply peaceful, while you were “reading” me. That lasts to this moment (despite seeing my own clients, computer, paperwork and general electronic noise). I got such great value from this.”

“None could imagine, before hand, how one’s world can be reshaped — of a sudden, and in retrospect — by the mere knowledge as to how one is set up (by birth, it would appear) to receive input from the outside world, especially as this relates to interaction with other people. My wife and I partook of this short course (Perceptual Thinking Pattern assessment) in revelation together (all of an hour, perhaps), and one understands — in about an instant — what the source of all too many useless arguments have been based upon … which is almost nothing. — Other than an inability to see what’s right before our eyes (and is so extremely simple, but just could not be appreciated until this knowledge is placed before one’s eyes).

It doesn’t hurt (or shouldn’t, anyway!) — it’s mere information, self discovery. One simply identifies the nature or shape of one’s portals for perception, to coin a phrase. And who knew that our ways of perceiving could be so different, one from the other?! With this information, one simply knows, henceforward, the patterns of one’s self (and the other), and in the appreciation of this knowledge, life can reorder itself quite simply, naturally and wonderfully. What amazing stuff!”
