Michael V: They certainly do try to help you with your business and do a good job with making referrals to people that can support you. I guess my only complaint would be that there aren't as many resources as you might need and sometimes there's a little bit of heavy or focus on getting funding or sponsorship for your business or taking out a loan when what really is the best focuses is how to start the Business without all that financial entanglement. But I certainly understand business is based on money and for a lot of businesses without the money you don't get started. It would be nice to see a lot of energy put into launching the business with as little money as possible. I still suggest using them though because they're the best resource around.

Chas Green: Free business education and data.

Chris Moore: Huge source of knowledge and experience. They're really helped me set up my business.

Abhro Pal: Beautiful office. Wonderful people.

Nicholas Travica: 👌🏻👌🏻

Amy May: Sessions with Lena are magical, attainable, and provide so much clarity you will certainly walk away feeling much better than when you started.

Mark Armstrong: Lena’s thoughtful coaching and guidance was exactly what I needed — she helped me take a big step back mid-career to assess not just those goals but broader life goals, to create a strong foundation and clear mission for myself and my work going forward.The sessions included everything from meditation to specific breakdowns of how to build a framework my daily habits and long-term goals. Thank you, Lena.

Aubrey Cook: Lena's program was transformative for me. She helped me get back in touch with my intuition and work through what I really wanted deep down in order to lead a fulfilled life. When we started I was unhappy and felt stuck, like I wasn't in control of my own life. She helped bring new perspectives, and since the program a few months ago, I've made a number of changes. Now not only is my mental health already so much better, my world feels full of opportunity again. Truly life changing, and I am so grateful for our work together.

Hannah Exner: .First and foremost, Lena is the kind of person you want in your corner. Kind, intuitive, incredibly smart, and empathetic, she has the ability to provide guidance that meets you where you are and always leaves you feeling inspired and energized. She also is an expert in pulling out the wisdom we possess inside us, which means that I have developed a deep trust in myself and my own intuition - a life-long skill!Since working with Lena, my vision for my business has become clear, I know the next steps I need to take

Casey Margell: I worked with Lena when I was in a difficult job transition. Lena had practices ready to go to help produce clarity about what it is that I authentically care about so that I can aim my career and efforts in those directions.Lena is patient, flexible to adjust to your needs, and insightful and I’m grateful for the work we did together.

Nina Arranza-Riley: I used to be very skeptical of the phrase “life-changing.” It’s not that I didn’t believe in it – I felt that it is an overused word that didn’t have much meaning. After a “life-changing” speech, book or movie, life often went back to what it was, at least for me. So, when I say the following, know I do it with all my heart, every fiber of my being and all the weight that words can bear:Working with Lena was a truly life-changing experience and one of the greatest investments I’ve ever made.Prior to my time at Gratitude6, I had been stuck on what career I wanted for years. Should I go into animation, my childhood dream job? Should I continue my current path as a paralegal, which I found I am quite good at? Should I make my passion for art my career? Should I go for a stable career or a creative one? Does letting go of my dream mean that I’ve given up? What if I make the wrong decision?These questions plagued me for a decade. They made me depressed, hopeless and more lost than ever. I had even stopped drawing, which essentially felt like losing my identity. This was my state of affairs when I reached out to Lena, and over the next 5 months she helped me transform the way I thought about myself, my situation and the world around me. Fear became excitement. Should I’s became What Ifs. Problems became possibilities. The scary unknown now lights a fire within me I didn’t even know existed. With her own powerful intuition, she helped me reconnect with mine – and to have that is the single most empowering feeling imaginable.With her gentle guidance, her big heart and through my own work, I now have a path and something I “just know.” An internal compass that points me not to one career but to what it is that I want in one! Now, I am making small little shifts in my habits to change my career into something involving visual communications, content writing, learning and storytelling. I am so excited for what comes next.Please reach out to Lena and invest in yourself. Be prepared to work hard. You are worth it!

Amr Elmohtaseb: When I was about to start this I was skeptical. I didn’t know if it would make a difference, but I feel now it was a great move for me. In the beginning, I was very demotivated at work and had little to no sense of purpose or direction in life. Now I’m looking forward to life. I found joy in things and made it more a part of my life. I have a new job, am creating a new project, and I got a new toy - a pool table in my studio. I feel better about my self in general.

Kelsey Donahue: When I first reached out to Lena I felt like I had lost my sense of purpose and positivity, even after trying for a while on my own to solve the circular thought patterns I was having. Lena helped me completely change my mindset by finding what my core values and core states of being are that were behind why I felt the way I did. This was huge for me as it helps me for the long term understand why I react the way I do in certain situations. She also helped me identify my mental "blocks" that were keeping me from fulfilling my life vision. I can't emphasize enough that this has been a long term change and I can take the knowledge I have gained from sessions with Lena and use it in any upcoming challenge or understand any reaction that will occur in the future. Thanks so much Lena!!!

heather eacker: Lena is so amazing and so supportive! I highly recommend her workshops. What a gem she is!

Jonathan Ceis: Just call and have an initial conversation with Lena. Here is why…I came to Lena with the desire to live a better life. I knew I had more in me and that I could have a larger impact on my community. I felt stuck though. I was not quite sure what that better and larger life looked like for me. I only knew I needed help to move forward.Lena provided me more than coaching she provided guided self-exploration. Where I was in control of my journey. She is provided tools and guidance on how I could identify and stay on my path. She did not try to drag me down paths of exploration that did not work for me. She brought to the table a wonderful mix of practical advice and techniques which allows me to dive deep and find the root of what I wanted in life.Lena helped me to identity not only my goals and path forward, but also transcend my limiting beliefs. She introduced me to an array of tools which we used together to gain clarity on my core beliefs. Working together we tied these beliefs to actionable steps that I could take to move forward. We explored limiting beliefs which came up as part of this process. Identifying where I held reservations about my ability to succeed. We explored these blocks and worked through them devising strategies and approaches to transcend my self-imposed limitations.My view of what I want in all areas of life and what path I am taking forward has completely been transformed. I have since started to take the steps we discussed in our sessions. I am in the process of upgrading my life, and moving toward where I want to be.

Sierra Storm ND: Working with Lena has been transformational. I approached her for coaching after a friend highly recommended her - saying “there’s me before Lena, and me AFTER Lena - everything in my life changed for the better. My work. My relationships. My confidence.”I’d have to agree. In our work together Lena guided me into better connection with my own intuition and wisdom. She gave me tools to use when making big decisions in my life and in my business, so that I could trust that the choices I was making were for my highest good.I felt heard and supported in our work together, and looked forward to our sessions each month. “After Lena” there is more ease in my life. My business has grown, and I’ve learned to trust and celebrate my successes more easily. When a question or choice comes up in my life, I now know how to stop and listen for the answer that’s there waiting for me.Lena, you’re the absolute best. Thank you so much for the way you show up in the world, and the incredible work you do. Looking forward to more sessions, and continued evolution!

Siwei: Working with Lena has been a life changing experience. Prior to this coaching journey, I was very confused about what true happiness is, what my passion and motivations are. I had a lot of inner blocks, e.g., being extremely competitive and caring too much about others’ thoughts on me. Lena opened up a new door for me, let me connect with my heart and found what I truly want. She offered various tools and meditations that brought clarity on what has been blocking me and how I can refine my stories, remove blocks and find the fire in myself. She helped me set myself free. I feel so ready and happy now and am excited about whatever is going to happen next in my life.

Emily Znamierowski: This coaching process elevated my life in ways I could not have imagined. Lena guided me out of a deep rut formed by years of repetitive, limiting beliefs, and helped me create a new path for myself using practices that cultivated a positive inner narrative, self-appreciation and compassion, and gratitude. I benefited from her steadiness and wisdom, and truly enjoyed the creativity, bright energy, open-mindedness, and light-hearted approach she brought to every session. She is the most innovative, effective, and efficient coach with whom I've had the pleasure of working.Beyond the feel-good benefits of working with Lena, I gained a library of practical systems and tools that I can use long after our coaching sessions. The value of these resources is immeasurable. She is a consummate professional: organized, consistent, and thoroughly prepared. Her ability to adapt and respond to my changing needs on the fly never ceased to amaze me and served as further evidence that she is a master of her craft. The clarity and confidence I gained from working with Lena will serve me well for the rest of my life.

Christina Malecka: Lena's pep talk at the January F-Bomb Breakfast Club hit me like a ton of bricks: in a good way! I had been running myself ragged, trying to run my passion project without much of a plan, and her words inspired me to scale down and get centered so I can scale back up in a grounded way. Her message was just what I needed. Thanks Lena!

Lindsay Tilzer: When I began working with Lena, I was really confused about pretty much everything in my life and struggled to discern between the thoughts in my head, the feelings in my heart, and the knowing of my intuition. Working with Lena really helped me clarify a lot of internal blocks I was coming up against and work through them to find acceptance of myself and release the judgement I carried within me about the experience of my feelings. I learned with Lena that change on the outside begins with change on the inside, that I do, in fact have an intuition, that it is powerful, and that I can trust it implicitly. Now I lead with my intuition and find myself in a better state of flow than I ever have in my life. I allow that voice, that knowing to guide me and in turn, have found myself moving forward intentionally and powerfully even when fear arises because I trust that my inner knowing is guiding me on my highest path.

Amy Campbell: I was referred to Gratitude6 by my sister who raved about Lena and her techniques. I had been feeling stuck in some areas and was seeking clarity in my vision/purpose for my career and in my life experiences.I agreed to a consultation with Lena. I will admit at first, I was skeptical. I am a business woman with a stressful job. I consider myself to be logical, practical, and often annoyed by "spiritual talk." The thought of exploring practices like meditation was intimidating for me. However, I knew I needed to try something different and I was intrigued by my sister's results. I signed on for 6 sessions to give it a try.Lena is an extremely supportive and knowledgeable person gifted with the amazing ability to guide a person through tough questions and see oneself and situation from a new perspective. I appreciated the outputs of our sessions together. Each session was different and unique. Unlike a regular therapist, I walked away from our sessions with a plan and useful action items. I have been able to put into practice these items and slowly over time have formed new and positive habits. I have new tools to deal with the pressures of my job and new insights on what I most want to experience, create, have, and be in this lifetime. I am extremely grateful for Lena's service and highly recommend her.

Laura: With Lena's insights and listening skills I was able to set myself up for a great year in my business and personal life! She allowed me to begin the journey of finding and listening to my inner voice, to find focus and momentum in stepping into my life. She allows for an easy flow of conversation and her intuition is spot on! She is present and prepared for every session which allows for an easy flow to our time together which in turn creates the space for me to dive deep and explore where I was in the current moment.

Erin Maccoy: Lena is a natural born facilitator who leads groups and individuals through an engaging and dynamic process of self-discovery and transformation. She is deeply intuitive and knows what the group needs to make the shifts they are looking for. Her toolkit for this work is plentiful and she makes every session a thought-provoking, action-oriented space to learn, grow and shift. She is warm, kind and supportive in all the ways a coach needs to be.

Amy Diep: Deciding to do coaching with Lena was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. Her guidance and tools helped me gain clarity with my intentions and helped overcome my internal roadblocks i had for myself. There are so many times that we came across “ah-ha!” Moments that were really life changing for me. She is genuinely passionate about helping people and i feel very grateful to have come across her services. I highly recommend Lena if you want to discover your inner truth and grow as a person. The lessons I’ve learn from Lena has been invaluable.
