Dr. Saunders is very in tune. There were many times that I stepped into her presence with an idea or an issue on my mind to find Lyn discussing it before I even opened my mouth. Lyn has a talent for finding the words to describe what would be considered ineffable to many, particularly experiences one has with spirit, or God, or however one wants to term the higher powers or other dimensions and realities that are at work inside and outside oneself. Lyn is open to interpretations. She has an expansive mind and listens with nonjudgement, so that one can be as open as one needs to be in order to process one's existence. She provides many tools to facilitate inner, in depth exploration that catalyze revelations about who one is from a soul perspective. To summarize, being with Lyn enhances audible articulations and tangible sensations of the God within and the God without. I always left her presence feeling my spiritual self amplified, my purpose clear, and reality shimmering and sparkling with a brighter light.

Just a few months ago, "coaching" to me denoted an athletics teacher/manager or, at least someone who has to do with competition. Then I found out about Dr. Lyn Saunders and others like her, who offer telephone counseling as an aid to mind/body/spiritual guidance, growth and renewal. In my case, I felt that things were just a little askew, offtrack in my daily life, and I sought from my coach/counselor, Dr. Saunders, some guidance in "righting the ship". With, often, extremely simple, small suggested changes in viewpoint, she was able to free me from "traps" that I had fallen into, sometimes, unknowingly.

She made suggestions, and then I looked at them and, in many instances, carried them out, to the point that, after a couple of months, I felt the derailment stop. I found that things began to flow smoothly again and became certain that I was now moving in the "right" direction -- upward and onward. Coaching, for me, worked extremely well, mainly because it is a full partnership, based on equality of purpose and effort between counselor and client. It is NOT a teacher/pupil relationship, nor a doctor/patient set-up. It is a positive look at self, and a very hopeful attitude about one's future.

I am deeply grateful that Dr. Lyn Saunders has used her intuitive powers and deep commitment to the betterment of the human condition to offer this wonderful way of reconnecting with the balance of all things.

Lyn, The whole world needs what you do! -- I have taken professional technical classes most of my career. School, college and other classes all prepared me to do stuff, not to live. Never was there ever a hint of how to live my life, who I am or what I should be doing as a being. The journey of self exploration has no signposts, maps or directions. You are on your own, without an instruction book to guide you.

Having an insightful (Spiritual) life coach like Dr Saunders has provided breakthroughs in my personal journey. Dr Saunders skill as a whole life counselor has helped me to develop, use my own insight and internal compass to guide and assist me on my life's journey. Without her help and support, I would most likely still be standing at one of many cross roads, staring at my feet. -- A coach/counselor like Lyn is not the one running the race but, is the one who opens up the door to the possibilities that make it possible for the runner to start and finish his or her race.

We, each of us, need a coach like her in our own life race. – And certainly, Dr Lyn is the best I have found. Once I made the choice to get off the fence and get on the track, I was well on my way; once on the track, Dr Saunders helped me start putting one foot in front of the other until I was running; running in a way that made it seem like I didn't even have legs before.

I had tried transpersonal therapy in the past but Lyn's collaborative spiritual coaching has brought a whole different dimension to my path. It's a process that has gone very deep and has brought up so much for me, tapping into so many buried grooves! In her unique style she can articulate the tough questions & challenges while being supportive and very sensitive to my situation. She has shared with me very practical tools that I can easily turn to and apply to find my own answers within and this is very empowering!

Her deep attunement with spirit and energy is a blessing and I find her insights so enlightening. I am really impressed with her commitment and the energy Lyn puts into supporting me; revise and resolve my issues. Our time together is a wonderful and healing experience and I highly recommend Lyn to anybody who is looking to expand consciousness at these confusing times.

THANK YOU LYN! Love to you.

I’ve known Dr. Lyn Saunders for over 10 years, and in that time have come to value and trust her judgment as well as her counsel. We began as friends, and continue friends to this day; however, she has also been a valued counselor over the years, bringing the many aspects of her learning and interests to bear in each situation. There is such depth and honesty in the attention she gives to the needs of those she counsels. Her life has prepared her for a multitude of counseling methods, so that she brings an eclectic combination of talents and insights to her sessions.

Over the years, we have delved into Buddhism, Celtic Spirituality, Christianity, various psychological methods, and combinations of all of these. She has opened my eyes and heart to changes in myself and the world around me, and has given me tools that strengthen me.

Lyn. You have truly helped my sister where no one else really heard her. She is so much better now and happy. I haven’t seen her so happy in a long time.

My experience with Dr. Saunders' grief counseling was an immense help during a difficult period when my husband was dying in Hospice. She instilled trust by actively listening with compassion and sensitivity, and then, when I was ready, helped me form new ideas about the death and dying process. Later, she gently suggested alternative behaviors to help me reshape my worried and stuck attitudes regarding what was happening to my husband and me during this intense and all-consuming time. In proactive ways, she suggested appropriate reading and study, and even accompanied me to my husband's bedside where she gave me and imparted special understanding that lent me strength, inner healing and peace.

Lyn is a gifted, compassionate professional, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is experiencing the death of a loved one and the tremendous emotionalism of that most difficult of times.

For decades, I had been haunted by images of my father's negative attitude toward me. From childhood, I was told that I would never amount to anything. Lyn not only helped me cope with those images, she showed me how to turn them around, to release the negative emotions, and to make them positive. A ritual focused on a ring I inherited from my father was especially powerful, profound, and helpful. I now wear the ring daily: It is a reminder not only of how far I have come a distance that Lyn helped me to realize but how I can continue to progress.

The ring also has become a symbol of friendship, love, and my innate ability to protect and to to assist others. Without Lyn's guidance, I never would have discovered that ability and I certainly would not have had the confidence to use it for the benefit of others. Lyn is an amazingly talented therapist: She switches seamlessly and appropriately between toughness and gentleness, guiding her clients toward a healthy, stable, enjoyable mentality.

I cannot think of praise adequate to describe how Lyn has helped me. She helped me unlock shackles I did not know existed and then encouraged me to take the first faltering steps towards sanity. It is a journey I know will move only forward.

Lyn, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks and admiration to you. The work you have done with me has helped me achieve a deep understanding of the purpose of my life, and already helped me to achieve a level of integration that is helpful and positive in my life. I look forward to our continued work together, and to our continued friendship.

Life is interesting, hard, and often brings us many trials and tribulations. We encounter many difficult and challenging people, and we wonder how they play their part in our lives. I myself had a mother who was very unyielding, who many times made life difficult for me and for those around her. I also had a father who contributed to this already trying scenario. When I was young and they were still together, they both fought a lot, and it made me a bit insecure. Even then, I found myself turning to friends for help, just to get through this life, and if it was not for friends and the faith that I had in God, I would have committed suicide a long time ago.

But it was my friends, which I am happy to say Lyn was among them, and my love for them and theirs for me that brought me through that terrible time when I was trying to "find myself". We all influence each other all the time, but it is always a shock when we realize that the difficult people also influence us so strongly, and we often times don't really even realize the negative impact that results from such contact. It is hard to see the good in life when you are faced with so much darkness and survival.

As I matured, I continued to have a need to heal spiritually, and I turned once again to Dr. Lyn. She too was maturing on her own life’s journey, even though she had a different path than I was on; yet, we often talked and had several pastoral counseling sessions. It was comforting to have Lyn talk about the Angels and the light and to become in tune with God’s light. To FEEL God's presence and to become ONE with God is a GIFT that Lyn has. Her voice and wisdom has soothing properties, and she is able to guide you into feeling the worth of God and life.

I appreciate Lyn’s skill in helping me to realize that I do have strength within me, that God is ever with me, and that the Angels can protect and help me, and that God's love can be right there with me when I am feeling life has been against me. There are many "brick walls, and stopping places" in life, but Lyn has helped me to see that these don't have to be barriers or dark places, and that there is a way to get around them, or go over them, and not be ‘stuck’ in the road. She has helped me so many times to just simply go on, to do my best in life, to acknowledge my gifts and to see the positive side of life, for you never know just who God will bring into your life, or how God uses each of us to bring others to the peace that God wants for us all. I thank Lyn for her many years of guidance, spiritual counseling and comfort.

Most recently, her guidance counseled me in my response to my aging mother, and encouraged our last days together to be joyful and loving. She told me that healing comes by God's presence and all things will come round right through Him in time. Lyn helped me through this difficult time and I thank her.
