What clients say about
Chanel Dokun:
Working with Chanel was an unforgettably impactful experience. I gained a huge amount of clarity into how my personal narrative was both propelling me forward and simultaneously holding me back – and perhaps most importantly, what concrete steps I could take to continue to nurture my own personal evolution.
Jessica
Chanel is so wise. Her coaching was well rounded and to-the-point, which I appreciated. I felt like I could be myself in our interactions, and was able to walk away with a true plan for action, even after just one hour!
Bethany W.
Chanel’s level of empathy was extremely valuable. I never felt judged as I shared my thoughts. She also was an amazing listener who was able to play back ideas in a fresh way that helped to advance thoughts and ideas. Also, her ability to connect the work to God’s work made the experience even more special and meaningful.
