Dear Vicy: I just wanted to thank you again for the great session yesterday. I am definitely changed in a way that I am unable to accurately describe...but its also definitely great! I had a great day on Friday. There were some stressful and frustrating moments but none so frustrating or stressful to put even a small crack in the peace I feel. I have also not had ONE negative thought about myself or in general. I am even finding it difficult to come up with them or to hold them in my mind for very long. I have never felt this quietness in my mind before and it is such a relief. I include you in my prayers everyday and am so thankful that you have been placed in my life. I am also thankful that you found your calling and have such compassion and warmth to offer your clients...especially me, lol. Until next time... Thanks and have a great weekend!

In a word, "TRANSFORMATIVE" truly describes my experience as a client of Dr. Greyerbiehl. Through her guided coaching-counseling sessions and exercises, I was able to recognize within my soul my powerful, noble, yet dormant Enlightened Self. As this Self awakened to its full vitality, I learned to jettison decades of negative self-talk, and accumulated fears and ennui. Now, just a few short months later, I can honestly say I have never felt so mentally and physically robust. Others have commented on the change. With my life in proper balance now -- I add that I exercise regularly, work for enjoyment, eat sensibly, and center my spiritual life around a sense of gratitude to a Creator -- I feel absolutely empowered to meet Life's challenges head-on. I will always be grateful to Dr. Greyerbiehl for her professionalism, her wisdom and patience, her sense of humor, and for her insight in helping me to recover my sense of self-respect and strength.

My sessions with Dianne at Life Coaching Institute were the best investment I made this year. In a very short time, Dianne has taught me how to “own my strength.”
As a result of her coaching I am much more productive and find it easier to choose joy on a daily basis. I am amazed at how my life has transformed in such a short time based on her teachings. I have renewed hope and am excited about what my future holds. I highly recommend Life Coaching Institute.

Thank you so much for all the energy you have invested in me! I hope, overall, it has been an energy gain for you! You have helped me more than I could adequately express in words. Your kind unwavering faith in me has moved me closer than ever to my Perfect Day. I will make it. I will get there. In this most difficult year of transition it was not always easy for me to focus on the light. But you were there urging me on, helping me to make sense of my thoughts and experiences, to deal with core issues. I did survive this school year! I look forward to a new career in which I can be myself and receive positive affirmation for my exceptional gifts. I am a stronger person and I value my new inner freedom.
I wish you and Jerry the best in your new life and I look forward to staying in contact with you and keeping you informed about my successes. Thank you for your warmth and your LIGHT.

Dr. Dianne Greyerbiehl is a warm and caring person. she has been very supportive of me as I have struggled with various personal issues.
Her emphasis is always on finding the positive and moving forward, rather than focusing on the negative and remaining "stuck."
Dr. Greyerbiehl is a wonderful counselor. In addition, she has other tools that can help bring one more self awareness. These include cranio sacral therapy, healing touch, and hypnosis.
I will always be grateful for her comforting presence when I needed it most. She is gifted with the ability to help people find their path and experience more peace in their lives.
With thanks,

What I learned from you was to focus on solutions rather than problems. I now give myself credit for progress I make.

Dear Dr. Greyerbiehl,
I not only enjoyed, but benefited from the presentation you so graciously conducted at the last Verification Engineering Office Retreat. The material contains a wealth of opportunity for persons interested in exploring their own reaction to stress in the workplace as well as their overall methods for coping with pressure. Forgive me for taking so long to thank you. It has slipped my mind numerous times (perhaps you also speak on memory loss)?
Thank you,

Student Testimonials from LCI's Insight Transformation Coaching Certification program:
Dr. Dianne Greyerbiehl is a true professional. Her credentials are impressive, including a Phd. in Cognitive Psychology, a Masters in Counseling, and certification as a Master Life Coach. Her successful career has included many years of organizational consulting, as well as individual and family counseling. For the last 20 years she has focused on Life Coaching, and helping people to find more meaning and happiness in their lives. Those who have been fortunate enough to experience her Transformational Life Coaching have benefited from the insight, intuition, and compassionate approach that she brings to each session.
The Life Coaching Institute is one of the many ways Dr.Greyerbiehl is making a mark on the Life Coaching profession. Her vision of helping people find a way to transform their lives in a positive way led her to establish the Life Coaching Institute. Through the Institute, she has been able to train others to become qualified Life Coaches, providing them effective coaching tools and techniques, with an emphasis on the use of Positive Psychology.
The instructors at the Life Coaching Institute are generous with their time and attention, and create an atmosphere where learning is fun and interesting. It is rare to have access to Life Coaching training with small classes, face-to-face instructors and hands on experience. Classes include role playing and practice coaching which give students the confidence to "hit the ground running" once they complete the coursework and achieve certification through the Institute.
When I entered the coaching program with Dr. Greyerbiehl, I was excited about learning skills that would enable me to help people to deal with difficult issues that were keeping them stuck. However I did not anticipate the growth that I would experience personally, through learning and using the tools and techniques, on myself, as part of my coaching training. I would highly recommend the Life Coaching Institute to anyone who wants to become a confident and well qualified Life Coach.

When people ask me, "what do you do?" I find it really difficult to answer succinctly. I am a small business owner of a service and retail business that promotes health and wellness. I work in marketing and public relations. I am a writer. I have multiple degrees in philosophy and am fascinated by mind/consciousness and neuroscience. I am a teacher. I am both a talker and a listener. I am a creative person in both home and business life. I am a world traveler. I absolutely love people and find that everyone has a great story. I spend a lot of my time at work encouraging others to be and do and feel their very best. I get bored easily with "routines."
So when I met Dianne and began talking to her about my "what I want to do when I grow up" dilemma, she suggested I explore coaching. After about a 30-minute conversation with her, I was really interested in what coaching had to offer as a profession. I began doing research on "life coaching" in general, and then I began to read about Dianne's background in positive psychology, neuroscience, speech pathology and counseling. And then I started talking to Holly, too. These two brilliant and talented women were just amazing to me!
The more I talked to them about how the kind of coaching they teach is based in both positive psychology and applied neuroscience, the more I was convinced this was the method I'd been seeking to develop my own practice that helped people create and maintain a truly healthy life. For me, health goes way beyond the physical body and incorporates spirituality, emotional stability (and intelligence), mental aptitude and calmness, and physical awareness of the body and its connection to universe. Transformational Life Coaching using Dianne's Insight Transformation model was strong enough to facilitate the powerful change individuals must undertake to create lasting health, strength and abundance.
What a fantastic learning experience it's been to participate in Life Coaching Institute’s Insight Transformation Coaching Certification program. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about becoming a coach with the power to facilitate change in clients by giving them the opportunity to learn of their own power, talents, skills and gifts.
And now when people ask, I tell them I am a certified life coach with a background in almost everything.
