I had sessions with Almar, as I was dealing with issues from heartbreak and moving on. Before my session I’d say that emotionally, my pain was an 8/10 and by then end of the session it went down to a 4/10. Mind you, this was a week after my relationship ended. During the session, I explained what I was going through and Almar then helped me see a future version of myself who was happy, living my best life without this person. Being able to envision a future like that gave me hope that I could move on. We really worked on feeling what it would be like to be that person and she gave me tips on how to stop getting stuck in this cycle of sadness and pain. After the session, I felt relieved and a little happier. As if a weight was lifted from my shoulders. For the first time since my break up, I was able to not just focus on that but focus on myself. It’s been almost 3 weeks since my first session, and I have been doing much better. After meeting with Almar, I’ve been able to slowly move forward and find happiness within myself again. If you are experiencing anything difficult in your life, I would definitely recommend meeting with Almar as it is an amazing and eye opening experience that will definitely help you. Not to mention that she is absolutely amazing, caring and attentive!   - Sammy

I started working with Almar as my executive coach and jumped at the chance for her fashion advice when she added that to her services. Once we nailed down my goals and budget during coaching, we set up a separate shopping trip. I didn’t want another chore of editing my current wardrobe, and Almar was totally cool with that. I just wanted a quick, fun update to my style. She was super respectful of my budget, and I spent exactly what I planned, including the coaching fee.

A big part of our sessions was about not second-guessing my decisions in the moment but saving that reflection for afterward. I almost put half the stuff back at one point, but I stuck with it because I knew we had a solid plan. It was tough, though. Now, weeks later, I'm thrilled with the results. This experience has given me so much more. It's hard to explain, but my confidence in my judgement increased, and I’m wearing these new outfits with a fresh attitude. -

Almar possess excellent listening and communication skills.  She was able to identify areas where I may be stuck or facing obstacles that helped me develop and personalize strategies for overcoming them.

Almar also provided accountability and support to help me stay on track and reach my goals. Ultimately, she helped me gain greater clarity, confidence, and motivation to go for what I want.  I highly recommend her!

In my initial discovery call with Almar, I had no idea what to expect - I had never done coaching previously and as a teenage girl on social media, there is already an overflow of unsolicited "living your best life" advice.

However ten minutes later into the call, I found myself feeling reflective and inspired from my like-minded and simply lovely coach. She allowed for such a truly safe space that we ended up going an hour overtime. It was the needed push into the direction of true self-discovery and how it affects my life/career.

Almar has a natural ability to connect her clients by pushing past the surface layer of daily struggles (that can often be remedied by a yippy Pinterest quote anyways) to conceal a deeper level of emotions/understanding.

You can expect a genuine conversation with highs and lows, to feel heard but not analysed, and to leave hungry for more.

I recently tried professional coaching for the first time because I had a business issue that I was turning over in my mind and could not discuss with my regular associates. 

I wanted a confidential perspective on the sensitive subject of hiring a very well-qualified older relative.  I contacted Almar Lurie and it was a game-changer. The coach's expertise and guidance helped me navigate the intricacies of this delicate situation with utmost clarity and professionalism so that I felt confident in my final decision.

Almar's personal business background provided valuable questions helping me identify impact points and management considerations for all the parties involved.   I especially appreciate how she helped me develop a plan to implement my decision.

Thanks to her coaching, I successfully balanced personal relationships and professional integrity and developed an approach that would foster a harmonious work environment and build a stronger team for the whole enterprise. 

I wholeheartedly recommend Almar for any business leader or owner. - M.B.    CEO
