TESTIMONIALS
“Florence came into my life at a time when I was struggling with issues of communication and reactivity in my relationship. I consider myself fairly self-aware, having engaged in therapy three times over the last decade as well as with two other short-term coaches, and so I had mild expectations about how this coaching experience could support me to make an actual change. I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Florence helped me to craft two major narratives about my life experiences that helped me to own my story, understand triggers, and begin the process of letting them go. Throughout our short work together, she also helped me to understand different pathways to healing and gave me concrete ways to pursue this--both with my partner and on my own. Above all else, she was so encouraging and made me believe that I was already in the process of changing my life, which was a huge impetus that pushed me forward. I cannot recommend Florence highly enough! Through validation, encouragement, self-exploration, actionable insights, she will help you to make the change you've been waiting to make. Thank you Florence!” MS, Morocco
"If anyone out there is in need or desire of working with a life coach I can't recommend Florence Landau enough! One phone call with her feels equal to 10 traditional therapy sessions and I feel so good and productive after. She is so wonderful at fully helping you achieve your dream life!" DS, Chico, CA
"I share this with YOU!!! My kickin ass, and ass gettin' kicked FB community.
I am the last person to ask for help... So when I did, it was AMAZING to be on the RECEIVING end of this human being's grace, humor, insight and INTELLIGENCE. I am really big on intelligence, and if we are working on me, I want my team to stay one step ahead.
This is not like therapy you have ever experienced... This is coaching, reinforcement, insight, and an encyclopedic knowledge of centuries of the old tried and true.
It took less than one hour long session (via telephone!!!!!!-bonus) for this divine woman to get in touch with my goals, my weaknesses, and to help me balance, and plan for moving fwd.
I am not always "in the mood" for self analysis (part of my struggle) but after each session I am like a new growth, eager, aware, and pushing toward my own personal sun.
You can visit with Florence Landau once, or 100x... You win.
This is revolutionary personal attention.
If you are feeling stuck, reach out. If you need help doing so, PM me, and we will get you on your way! Your location is not important, Florence comes to you via the phone, Skype... or in person if you are in the Bay Area. I love the phone service, keeps my schedule light and tight."

"Flo Gives Good Breakthroughs"
"My boyfriend and I were going through a rough patch when we asked Flo to spend an evening with us as an active observer. It was important to me that she experience us in our most natural state and without any judgment. Unlike having a friend stand by while we indulge in our own petty bickering, I didn’t feel guilty or embarrassed by Flo’s presence. In fact, she was fun and disarming, offering insight and guidance with great humor. We really took her through her paces. But, she stuck with us and because she did, we reached a breakthrough in just one night we found ourselves laughing at our own shortcomings and finding compassion for each others’.
I would highly recommend Flo as an alternative to traditional “couch” couples therapy. Like most people in relationships, we have so many triggers that usually only come up when we’re in social settings or in the car. To have her in the backseat while we’re fighting over music choices is actually really productive. She got to witness our communication style and offered ways to diffuse the situation in real time. We didn’t have to tote our baggage to an office and try to relive the discomfort. We created plenty of uncomfortable situations on the fly and, with Flo’s help, we squashed them.
I’m very grateful to Flo and she obviously loves the work she does. She’s on my permanent, virtual rolodex for any and all relationship issues."

My review of the Great Flo Landau!
“When I first started seeing Flo, my mind was on one path and my body was on another and I thought I was doing a fine job managing both, separately. It wasn’t until I spoke certain truths, out loud, to Flo, that I was able to recognize the flaws in my own approach to life, and yet, there was no shame in revealing the work I had to do. It was more like a fun and exciting design project. That’s how it feels. Coaching differs from therapy in that, we’re not picking at scabs and trying to heal old wounds. We’re focused on what we want now and how to get it. In my very first session with Flo, I had two fantastic breakthroughs and they’re still coming. Flo opened me up to being unabashedly honest about my feelings and desires and goals and she made sure I stayed on track. She also has this great way of turning the things I say into fantastic metaphors for life. I wish I had all the time and words in the world with which to express my sincerest gratitude. Thank you, Flo! “
