CLIENT VOICES
What clients are saying
“
I have been working with Sandra for five years. The growth and positive changes I have experienced during this time are truly remarkable. Sandra has shown me new perspectives to help me live from a place of autonomy, independence, confidence, and love. She uses many modalities and is always available to pivot when one doesn’t resonate with me at any given moment. I cherish my conversations with her and celebrate my growth. I am living a very happy life because of my time spent learning healthy habits and thinking. I highly recommend working with Sandra, and I'm available if anyone would like to speak to me about my journey with her. Wishing everyone all the best!! Hilary Maslow

I came to Sandra for one reason: I wanted to learn NLP. I'd seen it used at a sales conference and thought it would sharpen my edge in business. What I couldn't have known is that one phone call would fundamentally change the trajectory of my life. When I started the NLP Practitioner training with Sandra, I was also quietly carrying some of the most painful news of my personal life. I'm good at compartmentalizing, as I think most high-performing people are. And, Sandra proved to have an uncanny ability to meet you exactly where you are, and what I encountered in that training shattered many beliefs I'd held for years, including that there's a "work me" and a "personal me." There isn't. The same patterns that shape your relationships shape your leadership. The same beliefs that hold you back in one area are quietly running the show everywhere else. That realization alone was worth everything. And, I craved more, so I hired her on as my personal coach. Sandra has walked with me through some of the most difficult chapters of my life, and I am genuinely certain I would not have come out the other side without the effective tools and profound wisdom that have really shaped the man that I've become. Her ability to create a safe space for real growth, not surface-level, but the kind that actually rewires how you move through the world, is unlike anything I've experienced. The professional results followed naturally. When I learned she did corporate work, hiring her for my company was an easy decision. She helped us build a genuine, heart-centered team vision and co-create a culture that's allowed me to grow as a leader and my team to truly thrive. I came for a skill. I stayed for the transformation. If you're willing to do the work, Sandra will meet you there, and I suspect you'll find the same thing I did on the other side... something extraordinary!ndra for five years.

I started working with Sandra several years ago looking for leadership coaching and have continued with her for both coaching and learning NLP. She's helped me become more self-aware, more intentional in how I show up, and ultimately recognize I was ready to leave a safe but unfulfilling career and start my own company. Learning NLP has given me practical tools I use daily: understanding what drives other people and reframing situations that would have been stressors into something I can work with. What sets Sandra apart is her approach: she's a teacher, not someone who hands you answers. She's direct, practical, and holds you accountable for your own growth. I've never seen her come up short on tools or methods to work through a challenge, and she has a genuine intuition for recognizing when something important is surfacing. If you're looking for someone who will meet you where you are and equip you to actually change, Sandra is the real thing. Jeff May

Working with Sandra has been a genuinely meaningful experience for me. I originally came into this process wanting to better understand myself, especially why I react to stress the way I do. For years, I often felt reactive, rushed, anxious, impatient, and constantly “on,” without really understanding what was driving it underneath the surface. This journey helped me become far more aware and intentional about how I feel in the moment, instead of simply operating on autopilot. I’ve learned how to slow down, be more present, and spend more time focused on what I value most: my family, my role as a husband, a dad, a friend, and being the best version of myself. One of the biggest realizations for me is that I’m still the same person I’ve always been but now I experience more moments of clarity, gratitude, and awareness instead of constantly pushing through life carrying a “40-pound pack” everywhere I go. Sandra did an exceptional job guiding me through both the science and the personal side of the work. There were times I became impatient and wanted immediate answers or breakthroughs, but she helped me stay committed to the process and continue doing the work even when I couldn’t yet see the full picture. Part of me wishes I could have simply snapped my fingers and understood everything immediately but real growth doesn’t work that way. The process matters. And for that, I’m incredibly grateful for Sandra’s knowledge, coaching, patience, and guidance. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to better understand themselves, improve how they respond to stress, and become more intentional about how they live and connect with others.

Sandra Vesterstein is a master of authentic listening and a master of wholehearted support for the individual seeking reformation. She creates a sacred, untouchable space in which to self-explore and heal. She is kind, gracious, and graceful, with an authoritative intelligence that commands respect and a delightful charm that evokes curiosity and intrigue in the place of self-denial and self-judgment. She is lovely, in every sense of the word. It is a pleasure to sit with her and journey into the depths of self. Shanna Lodge Evje

I’ve been a long-time client of Sandra’s. She started as my life and business coach, and I continued on to study NLP with her and become a practitioner, which truly helped elevate and grow my business, especially during COVID. Now she’s supporting me in working through dynamics with my business partner, who is also my long-term boyfriend. Sandra has been incredibly important in every area of my life, both personal and professional, because the two are so connected. The success of my business impacts my relationship, and vice versa. Having Sandra in my corner has been crucial in helping me understand how to create a stronger, healthier partnership. I really value her style. She gets to the root of the problem and gives us practical tools we can actually use to communicate better and improve our relationship. Working with Sandra continues to be one of the best investments I’ve made in both my personal and professional life. Rhonda Bilodeau

The program was challenging and pushed me each day to open up more and more. I walked away transformed and continue to feel its impact. This learning is truly a gift to life, as is Sandra. Sandra is a dedicated and passionate teacher. She is extremely knowledgeable of the material and takes time to enhance each person’s experience. She is prompt, professional, and lots of fun. The value of this course is worth far more than money. Brittany Driscoll

Sandra, you have been one of the most key and influential women in my life. You taught me, pulled me through to the other side, and taught me a skill to see the best and whole aspects of myself and others. I appreciate you, Sandra, and have great respect for you. How you love us so much, and that you spend your time helping us truly know and love ourselves. Your a gift. Thank you. Thank you for being a woman who inspires me. I’m sorry I’ve been distant. I was in shock and going through my own pain and couldn’t be there for anyone, and I isolated myself. I didn’t call but I don't want another day to go by without saying these things, so you know that I deeply love and care about you. Christie Lee Anderson

A huge thank you to my teacher/mentor, Sandra Vesterstein. What a transformation I’ve made since the first time I stepped into her classroom to become certified in NLP and Hypnotherapy. Not only does Sandra have a unique gift to see the unseen, what has been holding you back from getting exactly what you want in this life, she also has a Servant’s heart. Always showing up, always doing her best in every moment. I looked into many different NLP Trainings before taking hers, and I am SO GRATEFUL to have attended her course. After graduating, I was given the opportunity to mentor under her, which has been one of the greatest gifts. I have received so much from Sandra as well as the teachings of NLP & Hypnotherapy (Sandra Style). Anna M

I have been so lucky to know Sandra for almost a year now... and everything I have experienced with her and her teachings has been tremendous in my life and personal growth. She has shown me how powerful my intentions are in my life, and how I set the course for my own experiences. She's one of the most authentic and sincere people I know, and I know that she will continue to be an incredible friend and mentor in my life. Lots of Love. Sarah
