Over the past 25 years I have been in groups facilitated by Mary Ann Somerville and have had the privilege of one-on-one coaching with her. One of my first great epiphanies of personal awareness came during a group seminar that Mary Ann was leading in 1983. Mary Ann has been an exceptional facilitator of change in my life. With great insight and nurturing, Mary Ann has a gift for helping people achieve goals and overcome obstacles to change in their personal and professional lives. Jim Dutka, Principal - Sanctuary Properties
 


"Mary Ann Somerville is a masterful coach, workshop facilitator, and trainer/presenter for large groups. I have personally experienced her in all three roles. She is an unusually perceptive, and skilled listener - uncovering the deepest aspects of an issue, and unlocking the ability in people to create enlightened solutions. She has the ability to keep the most serious challenge light in experience, and uses gentle humour to diffuse 'stuckness,' enabling teams and individuals to move successfully through difficult discussions. She is engaging, creative, visionary, and inspiring when she works. She has enabled me to clarify my thinking, harness my imagination, and be brave enough to make the changes necessary in myself and in my business."  Ruth Grodek, President, Creation, UK


"Mary Ann Somerville's unique ability to discover the core issue or problem and then help bring them to resolution is remarkable. The clarity, wisdom, and intelligence of her presentation makes it easy for the participants to understand and discover their own answers. There is a natural grace and elegance in her coaching style that encourages openness and makes difficult conversations between teams or individuals easier to have."  Wayde Binder, RN, Manager, Patient Care Services, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, USA


"One thing that impressed me about Mary Ann Somerville in the seminar she facilitated, which I took with about a hundred other people, was that each person got her entire attention and the full impact of her skill and caring when they shared with her. I know I did. I think the sheer power of her compassion and loving were enough to promote transformation.

"Another was her willingness to go the extra mile. Though it was not part of the seminar curriculum, she did a special session on manifestation for anyone who was interested in coming in before regular seminar hours one day. Though I already had a fair amount of awareness of this, and some of the other topics she covered, I went far deeper with them because I became aware through her presentation that she didn’t just teach these things; she actually lives them." Laren Bright, President, Words, USA


"The private coaching day I spent with Mary Ann Somerville in November of 2007 was one of my most valuable experiences since the inception of my business. Mary Ann has a laser like quality of cutting right to the meat of an issue or obstacle, and healing it for the last time. She worked with me in creating a mind map that served as a fantastic reference point over the next year. She also assisted me in healing several limiting beliefs that were preventing me from stepping into the next phase of my development as a successful business owner. When I think of Mary Ann I smile and feel so grateful to know her. She is a powerful, highly gifted individual, whose willingness to be of service benefits those around her. I back her coaching services 100%. You will leave Mary Ann empowered with a new arsenal of specific action steps to effectively move forward with your goals."  Meri Zeiff, CEO Verimeri, T-s for Kids


"If you're struggling to find clarity or have a problem without a viable solution, be it personal or professional, you can't afford not to contact Mary Ann Somerville. Her insight, clarity, and practical coaching and facilitation style are unsurpassed." Michael Connor, President, Thrive On Change, USA


"Mary Ann Somerville has a genuine and rare gift of working with people. She can take individuals and groups directly, gently, clearly and deeply to where they want and need to go, personally and professionally." Tom Boyer, Senior Consultant, Impaq Corporation, USA


"Mary Ann Somerville is truly gifted as a leader of workshops, coach and enabler of people to move beyond barriers they may or may not be aware of and be the best they can be. She is highly intuitive and is able to use this incisively to get at the heart of issues, whilst assisting those she works with to connect with the heart of what is important to them. This is especially helpful in conflictual situations where similar core or shared values can get buried and lost beneath differences and historical challenges. Her gentle and supportive presence is backed up by a solid foundation which gives her the essential ability to stand firm in the face of conflict whilst maintaining her facilitating openness, compassion and challenge.

"She is without doubt the most gifted facilitator and coach I have had the good fortune to learn from." Steve Sharpley, Managing Director, Xcell Dynamics Ltd., UK
 



"Mary Ann Somerville’s coaching has assisted me with major breakthroughs, personally and professionally. She works with tremendous compassion and wisdom, combining a wide range of coaching “tools” with an extraordinary intuitive facility. This enables her to work through core issues rapidly and opens up the possibility for profound change, healing, and new opportunity.

Whether healing old limiting patterns of behaviours/beliefs or clarifying purpose in business negotiations, I consider Mary Ann’s coaching an extraordinary, unparalleled asset." Sam Wigan, Internationally renowned sculptor, UK
