“I would recommend Marcia and Life Advancement Coaching for anyone seeking life coaching services, but especially to those who are blind or vision impaired, as we have found success with our clients using her services.”

– Julie A. Chappell, Regional Manager Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired

“I began working with Marcia last year when my vision loss finally caused me to leave the work force and I had to give up driving. This was one of the most difficult journeys I have ever had to face and Marcia helped me regain my confidence in life and to approach it with a new perspective.

I am now better prepared to face the world in confidence and continue this journey with a new vigor! Thank you Mrs. Marcia for all you have done for my family and I!”

Visually Impaired Client Coaching

“My neighbor, who is a visually impaired client of the Dept for the Blind, shared her life coaching experience with me.  She worked with Marcia Grimsley for five months and said it was extremely helpful.  My husband had been losing his sight for over a year.  My neighbor’s recommendation to reach out to Marcia encouraged me to contact her.   My husband felt that he was not yet ready to apply for state services, but he agreed to try coaching with Marcia.  After personal coaching over a period of four months, I noticed that he became more confident and skillful in handling his sight loss.  I, too, found Marcia’s coaching helpful to me.   We periodically consult with Marcia, as needed.”

“I’ve known and worked with Marcia Grimsley for over 20 years, and her insights and guidance have helped me in all areas of my life. She has a keen insight into the psychology of men and women, providing simple & effective strategies for improving relationships.

As a former Marine and hard-headed alpha male, it was difficult for me to open up at first. Marcia’s expert advice and soft-touch have made it very easy for me to share my challenges.

There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all Marcia has done for me and my family. Highly recommend her services!”

– Chris Brienza

“I’ve worked with Marcia for almost 15 years. During that time we’ve worked through childhood trauma, family dynamics, and most recently business coaching while I build my real estate business in New Mexico, which has doubled since last year! Marcia has also worked with my sister, brother-in-law, and both of my daughters – one prior to her deployment to a war-zone overseas and the other with social anxiety as she entered college. Marcia’s training, expertise, and insight have been invaluable to myself, my business and my family. Call her to see if personal or business coaching with Marcia works for you!”

– Heidi Kamai

“Marcia is truly a transformational and inspired life coach. I have relied on her through some of the crucial times in my life and there’s no question that my life is 1000x better and more fulfilling having known her and worked with her. I also particularly loved that she is able to work across a person’s mental/analytical and spiritual sides, depending on your faith, preferences and tolerances. Marcia is simply awesome!”

“I came to Marcia at a time in my life when my role as caregiver became overwhelming. My husband’s Alzheimer’s Disease was advancing. Marcia’s coaching gave me support, connection with a helpful community, and encouraged my own self-care.

Marcia brings to her practice a rich background of life experiences, as well as academic and spiritual mastery and practical life-changing options. Marcia is patient and innovative throughout the life coaching process.

Get the help and support you need at a critical time. You do not have to suffer alone!”

– EHM, age 77

Before I started life coaching, I was a depressed college drop out struggling to find work. I wanted something more from my life but I didn’t know where to go or what to do. One day, I found Marcia online while googling how to find purpose in life. Life coaching sounded exactly what I needed, so I thought I’d give it a try.

My life has improved tremendously since I started life coaching. I’m back in school and I work a couple jobs on the side. I always wanted to live a balanced life and I feel like I’m finally reaching my goal. I’m much more confident in myself and have more control in my life. I feel more powerful than I’ve ever been before and I thank Marcia for her support and encouragement.
