What Clients Say

My Dear Chana,
Thank you for being a healer and a weaver who is helping weave my family’s lives together with health and light!You have helped my son more in three weeks than years, and years, and years of therapy.

~ Parent of 12 year old

 

The educational and psychological shifts in our son were staggeringly positive… seemingly miraculous!!! He became motivated, focused, and committed to his own success.
With Chana Klein’s continued and completely dedicated support of our son throughout the year he has done incredibly well. His grades are in the A high B range. His academic success has astonished the school administration and his teachers. Now, he is generally happy, upbeat, positive, and setting his sights on more success!!
Our most heartfelt thanks to Chana Klein.

~ Parents of 11 year old

In sessions in which the whole family met together, Chana was very skillful in helping us to express our needs and feelings, and without taking sides.
She helped us all to feel as if we were understood.
She also turned our hopes into concrete goals that we were all able to work on.

~ Parents of 16 year old girl with ADHD

Chana, those hours upon hours that you coached me on the phone, you coached the teacher, and yes, you even coached the principal.
The result – a happy striving calm kid.
His reports from the teacher are now EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EVERY DAY.
And at home we now have a calm and happy child.
Thank You Chana Klein for giving my son a new chance in life.

~ Mother of 6 year old boy with ADHD

Chana Klein has been coaching both of my sons.
One for over a year, who has a diagnosis “on the spectrum” including major emotional components.
My other son has ADD and although he completed college some years ago, has been struggling to find a job/career. She has been working with that second son for the past year.
She has been working with them to help them deal with their issues day to day, and help them define and obtain their goals. She has made herself available on a daily basis. She responds to their phone calls as soon as she can, which is most often in a matter of hours or sooner. She does this 24/7.
Ms. Klein has also been working with my husband and me, coaching us in how to be more effectively responsive, to facilitate our sons’ growth. She has made us more keenly aware of their feelings, needs and desires. She has also enabled us to better appreciate each ones’ unique strengths and abilities.
Without putting us down, but rather in a loving and supportive way, she has given us insight, that we have a lot of growing to do in our parenting. At the very same time she has pointed out that “we have a very full plate” with these particular children, and that we have been doing a good job. She just helps us to understand how to do our parenting even better. This is quite a delicate matter considering that I have a master’s level degree in social work, and my husband is very accomplished in his profession. So one might think that we are very sophisticated about our parenting; but of course we all know that an education is somewhat beside the point when it comes to these things. Often, the more highly educated the parents, the more resistant they are to any hint of a need to change.
Ms. Klein has handled us with the utmost of sensitivity, and respect.

~ Parent of 23 year old on the spectrum and 27 year old with ADHD

Dear Chana
There are no adequate words to express our deep felt appreciation for all you’ve done for us. You’ve given us of your time so selflessly and helped us navigate a crucial stage of life that will have everlasting effects.
Only Hashem can repay you for extending yourself to Yidden so generously. In schuss of all you’ve done for us may your life be blessed with only happiness success, good health, and boundless blessing.
Forever grateful . . .

From Linked-in Rabbi Simcha Weinberg has recommended your work as Coach/Energy Medicine Practitioner at Klein Coaching.Dear Chana,
 I’ve written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.
Details of the Recommendation:
“It is impossible to describe and comprehensively list the extraordinary qualities, disciplines and success stories of Chana Klein. 
Chana brings all her vast skills and personal qualities to everything she does: teaching, story-telling, healing, coaching, counseling, and public speaking. 
Chana immediately connects to the heart and soul of each person with whom she works, helping them connect to their inner qualities and find a rewarding path in life.

Chana is the first person to whom I turn when I need a resource to guide, heal, and direct someone.”Chana is an amazing coach and healer. She combines a love of learning on a wide range of topics and techniques, amazing intuition with a hyper focused curiosity and fearless compassion to help you achieve your goals and get what you want.

Think that resolving your Gordian Knot level problems, or releasing past heavy emotional baggage, or the deeper, hidden, and more powerful baggage you didn’t know existed under that is not possible? It is with someone as experienced, multi-talented and tenacious about helping you understand, release, heal and move forward as Chana.
I wish I would have worked with her years ago.

Chana,
Your deep wisdom pierces through any darkness.
It is your wisdom as well as your kindness that put me on the right road- of life, B”H.
Although I still have a long way to go- the light is there forever shining- and it’s up to me to keep my eyes open and to struggle towards that infinite light.
I was in the midst of darkness when you discovered that road for me,
it’s a road that’s all my own- where I’m my real self and where no one else could step.
I learned from you that if I go deep enough I’ll find the answer; the light is inside me.
I need to trust myself.
I don’t need anymore advice. (just kidding)

You helped me with real wisdom and love, letting me be independent and cautioned me from being dependent on others. I feel so free! and I’m able to protect myself from outside threats (with the exercises you taught me)
I cry when I think that you were the first person who let me be me, who didn’t step over my real self or my feelings, even the most hidden ones. This opened a whole new road for me- an infinite road with endless possibilities.
Your brilliant light keeps on shining and showing me the way to my own potential light.
I appreciate your deep wisdom.
May G-d Bless you and all you do!

~ 24 years old

Chana, lives and breathes, instinct, observation and insight, To believe for a second that her instincts are off, even if only a short moment, is a terrible mistake.
~ From a Rabbi

Dearest Chana
Since the day my family came to your for healing and coaching, we felt your unconditional warm, loving care and devotion to to our care and recovery in every way. The work you did with us gave us great hope. You encouraged us and guided us with great wisdom in every area of our lives.
Your understanding to my own problems was so incredible to me. You healed me with such tender loving care! How can I ever thank you appropriately for what you have done and are still doing for me and my family.
You are truly the best healer in the world!! May you be blessed forever and ever!
With deep appreciation,

~ Full time mom of seven – various ages

This is to thank you Chana for a wonderful session last night.
I woke up with a lot of vigor and determination.
I was so excited that I had trouble sleeping last night.
To see clearer into the strands of nightmares that pervade one’s life is a gem, a gem that you, Chana, effortlessly presented to me last night.
Thank you!

~ Attorney

Before we began working with Chana, we had seen many different psychologists over the past 9-years, all of whom had excellent credentials and who were highly recommended.
Many of them said to us that there are so many different issues they don’t know where to start or what to do.
Our family gets more done in one session with you, Chana, than we did in nine years of psychologist visits.
You make it a win-win situation. We each walk out feeling like we have accomplished something, especially with my son who is so sensitive. He never before wanted to talk about any of this, not about school, not about life, not about anything. It’s all so tender for him, and so painful.
You got him comfortable and communicating not only with you but also with us.
You got us to open up to him also. It’s amazing how you do that, really amazing!We used to walk out of psychologists’ offices feeling extremely frustrated, and very helpless and hopeless and with you we walk out feeling accomplishment and hope. It’s wonderful.
Thank you Chana for giving us back our son.

~ Parents of 15 year old boy

Chana’s clarity and insights get right to the heart of the matter ~
~ Educator

Chana Klein has been a mirror that I bounce my most important thoughts off of. Our first meeting was a favor she did for me; neither of us knew she would be my coach. It is telling that on that occasion I wept for the first time in many years; after less than an hour she knew me better than a close friend, making me realize that she would help me bring out my latent potential in the most powerful way.
We speak at all hours of the day. What Chana provides for me is a sounding board for all my ideas, so I can discern between true and false. In my grueling transition to adulthood she accepts me totally, but also demands my best, teaching me to love and respect myself.
She has helped me numerous times in negotiating situations; teaching me how to get what I want tactfully and firmly. She has shadowed me at work, helping me to hone my business skills. She has helped me with relationships and with just about any issue that has come up in my life.

~ Corporate employee

You create such a trusting space that I am free to be me – to share my fears, shameful feelings for not doing what I should, or not being where I want to be in my life…and you help me get to a better place.
~ Entrepreneur

After a few months of Chana’s coaching, our son says “It’s like I came back home from another planet.”
~ Parent of 12 year old

On behalf of the Monsey Academy of Girls, I want to take the time to personally thank you for being a shining light to all of us.
Your clarity, insights, and care have left a permanent stamp in our hearts and we will never forget what you have done and continue to do for us.
I must admit, I was nervous introducing the girls to you.
They are a very tough crowd. These teenage girls are rebellious and angry at the world having suffered many tragedies and abuses throughout their lives. They didn’t trust anyone and were verbally abusive and hostile to anyone who tried to make any contact with them.
Teachers who have worked with them for years can’t get their full attention or respect.
Yet you, as their coach, captured their hearts in an instant.
Even I and my husband who live with them are not able to attain their respect as you do.
We wonder how you gained their respect so quickly and have retained it.
The girls are very sensitive to the genuine. They can’t stand phonies.
You are a person who is genuine with them and able to see past their tough exteriors. They respect that.
We are talking about girls who have been kicked out of mainstream schools, done hard core drugs, physically assaulted people and lived on the streets.
Yet, you see past all that and you love each of them no matter how they acted. You make each of them feel special and you truly care for them.
We wonder how you manage to smile for these girls and listen to their problems and accept them with open arms?
The result of your work with each one has been incredible.
Teachers have commented to me marveling at their improvement in behavior and grades.
I too have seen their attitude and behavior transform.
We think you are an angel and cannot explain it any other way.
You managed to be such a guiding force in the lives of these girls.
Only an angel would be able to achieve what you have.

~ Shiri Sher, Dorm Counselor, Monsey Academy of Girls

With Chana’s coaching, my business activity level had gone up over 40% in the first month and has continued to increase. Now, my biggest challenge today is to find more hours in the day.
~ Entrepreneur

Dear Chana,
The mind pictures you helped me create affected me in such a beautiful way. I felt a calmness wash over me. I felt a peace inside of myself that I haven’t’ felt in a very long time.
I also felt much lighter than I usually feel. I wasn’t so overwhelmed anymore and I was very relaxed. I was just ready to let the flow continue and not fight it now that I was taking care of myself.
My face also started to clear up and the pimples and scars I had on my face started to go away.
My cheeks had a rosy and healthy look and I was ready to enjoy life the way it is.
Thank you, Chana.

~ 15 year old girl

Because she had a genuine regard for my son, and made this clear to him, he was able to open up to her and talk about his feelings very early in the coach relationship.
~ Parent of 16 yr old

(Name private – 7th grader) has come a very long way this year and you can take a lot of the credit for helping him get himself on track.
I told that to him already and you can reinforce it if you like.
He has a lot to him, as all people do, and now, after working with you, that is becoming visible to the world at large.
~ Guidance Counselor of Client

You help me turn down the volume of the voice of judgment in my head and get me into action.
~ Entrepreneur

Before I began coaching with Chana, I felt like I was living in a fetal position. Her coaching has brought me to standing upright and to being independent. I am even making a lot of money now and I couldn’t have done it without her!
~ Entrepreneur

I hired you to help my husband and you helped me
~ Spouse of person with Aspergers

Chana, thanks so much for speaking with me yesterday evening. I value your perspective because you are the only person I know with such an extensive background in recovery, healing, AND coaching.
Our conversation helped me place my concerns about diverse approaches to recovery in better perspective.
And special thanks for coaching me into giving my own self more credit for my own recovery.
~ Coach

Chana, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your presence in my life. Your suggestion today regarding structuring the tasks I had to do today is such a simple suggestion but it makes it manageable. I’m so glad I have found you.

Wow, that was interesting. I like you, Chana. Your energy is comfortable to be with.
~ Business woman

My desire to write a testimonial for Chana Klein is two-fold: I want to express deep gratitude for her effective and efficient teaching skills and also to encourage others who might benefit from her expertise.
Several months ago, I asked Chana to help prepare me for the ICF oral exam. I knew it was not enough to simply understand the Core Competencies. To earn a credential, I needed to be able to apply them effectively in a coaching situation. After working with Chana, in an amazingly short period of time, I not only better understood the competencies, but also knew what to avoid. And more importantly, I felt confident that I could ask the questions that would best support my client through the session. This was verified as feedback when my evaluator acknowledged me for applying the competencies through skilled questioning techniques – without question a result of my work with Chana.
I have no doubt that working with Chana was responsible for giving me the additional skills I needed to pass the ICF oral exam. Chana is clear, concise, to the point and is a great teacher and coach, in her own right. She can show you how to do the same. Thank you, Chana.
~ Carla Lee (Coach)

Chana, thank you so much for your willingness to set my mind at ease. You’re a warm, caring and brilliant woman and I feel lucky to know you.
~ Coach

Subject: [RCICoach] Let’s shower Chana with love & appreciation
From: “Linda A. Marshall” Date: Wed, Aug 08, 2007 11:46 am
To:
Hi RCI Coaches, Relationship Coaching Institute
This is to let you know that Chana Klein is stepping down as a teaching assistant for the Level II and III Couples Coaching Trainings. She has served as a Master Coach Intern or Teaching Assistant for seven Couple’s Coaching Trainings and, as such, has made a significant contribution to the world of Couple’s Coaching. Chana went above and beyond what was asked of her in these roles because of her commitment to you, our students. She wanted to make sure that you understood the concepts behind the tools and had facility in using them. To say that she worked hard preparing for the Training Team labs and in facilitating the work of the Training Team itself is an understatement. She gave a lot of time and energy to her work with us.
Let’s shower her on this listserve with our love and appreciation. And, if you’d like to send a personal message to Chana, her e-mail address is Chana@KleinCoaching.com.
And while Chana has been serving RCI, she has gone on to take numerous coaching trainings and has developed a highly successful coaching practice which integrates coaching and healing techniques.
Because of her successful practice, she has found it increasingly difficult to continue serving as a Teaching Assistant. And so, it is time for her to move on.
Chana began her couple’s trainings with RCI in October 2004 and quickly emerged as a leader in Couple’s Coaching. Her commitment to integrating the tools and skills into her being until they flowed out of her coaching was extraordinary. She specializes in working with clients who have ADHD and/or Aspergers Syndrome. She works with the whole family in addition to the client. She has found the RCI training to be invaluable in her work with, the relationships between parents and their young children, parents and adult children, with sibling relationships as well with couples. She is not afraid to take on difficult and chaotic situations and skillfully moves the family toward cohesion.
Chana is also an energy healer, having studied Chinese and Energy Medicine with Donna Eden and David Feinstein. She also has taken numerous other trainings that integrate the mind, body, spirit medicine. She is in the process of germinating an expansion of her coaching to reach an even broader audience.
For those of you have heard Chana’s personal story of triumph over physical challenges, you know what an inspiration she is. She refuses to allow herself to be limited and has achievements beyond those with no challenges. Her dream is to play basketball again and I, for one, believe she will find a way.
Saying thank you is certainly not enough. And Chana, I want to thank you for all you have given of yourself and your energy to RCI Couple’s Coaching. You will be very much missed. And the very best to you as you continue to work miracles in your own life and in the lives of your clients.
Many blessings,
Linda

I had two two-hour healing sessions with Chana Klein. We were addressing a nagging fatigue and aches and pains in the upper body- shoulders, upper back, neck, head, headaches largely in the back of the head. These symptoms have been ascribed to fibromyalgia and I have received help in the past through various modalities. It seemed that the problem had resurfaced and was dragging me down for some months with an accompanying feeling of depression and sadness. So I decided to work with Chana and try her methodology.
Following the second session on November 30th, there was an immediate lessening of all overall pain and complete cessation of many of the troubling pain spots.
I felt more up in mood, no longer fatigued. Certain symptoms did reassert themselves and Chana gave me simple exercises to do at home to bring up my energy or to relax me as needed. Frankly, the most important thing was that I did not feel depressed any more. My energy is more even and stronger. I felt and continue to feel that I can create the life, work, and love that is fulfilling and authentic for me.
~ Yoga teacher

You might be happy to learn that (8th grade client) did very well on the work he just handed in. He got a B+ on the composition and a 92 on the Shakespeare test. His homework answers were also satisfactory. What a wonderful way for him to end his years at our school! I know you’re proud and you have reason to be so.
~ Teacher of Client

What Chana Chaya has given me is the power to look inside of myself when something is wrong or even right- and figure out what it is that is causing my ailment.Through working with me she has taught me that I have the power to fix myself when something is bothering me or when I have pain.
She has helped me heal myself after I went through a trauma, instead of just treating the symptoms.
She has helped me learn how to find the cause of the pain in my body and work from there.
She has helped me understand that pain in the body can be caused from physical, emotional, or other kinds of distress.
She has helped me understand that when working with a person nothing is skin deep and every feeling that person has , whether it be positive or negative is rooted in something else.
She has helped me understand that there is always more to the picture when looking at someone or something, especially when looking at myself.
She has given me the power to heal through her immeasurably beautiful healing and love.
Thank You Chana Chaya.

You are a great gift to the world, Chana.
Whoever comes to you is blessed with healing angels.

~ 47 year old Mom

Chana
thanks again for your wisdom, insight and general coaching & humanity excellence today.
I am having fun . . . . guilt free. and enjoying it. burden has been lightened.
hope you’re having a good night
thanks

Chana
Your words today were so full of wisdom. I never realized the extent of your gift.

~ Mother of child on spectrum

Dear Chana,
I had an amazing experience now. such kind of relief I never experienced before.
After we spoke on the phone I really felt the pain- I let myself feel it- it was really there. I dont know how you knew better than me that I was in pain because of…
I decided to go to the Kotel. on the way going I was crying and on the way back I was skipping.
I held the points you told me to for really long while sitting in front of the Kotel and crying, just letting myself be and feel the pain, loneliness… and praying for whatever I can think of.
It was the real thing- not just whispering through chapters of Tehiliim where you dont feel connected. I just let myself be and it was so thereputic!
I feel like I’m starting to learn how to live and be honest with myself.
Thanks for all your help. It was a miracle I called you today.
Wish you the best! (20 years old)xox

Chana
Your story , The Lone Tree, is so beautiful. I really connected. I like that you gave a history and a davar on the Ramchal at the same time you discussed loneliness. There is a lot of information along with the inspiration. So often, the divrei torahs I hear are either for the yeshivish right, peppered with yeshivish hebrew, which I am not up on, or they are all emotion.
What a wonderful blend.
Thank-you for being so selfless in helping me along.
Thank-you for bringing me that much closer to Hashem.

~ Mom of 4 year old

Dear Chana,
You saved me from depression. (in other words you saved my life.)
One morning I woke up, and these are the words I said (sang):
“Modeh Ani…”
Thank You Hashem for returning my soul
Thank You Hashem for returning my life
Thank You for Chana
Thank You for giving me back the taste for life.
(I never said such words before. I usually said: I have nothing to wake up for, I’m not really alive…)
Another day I broke out in a dance and danced like never before, with such vigor and spirit.
Whatever I say is not enough but I want to tell you:
Thank you for taking me out of victim mode.
Thank you for empowering me.
Thank you for guiding me to be my real self.
Thank you for helping me find a source of love in myself.
Thank you for being there for me in such a profound way and for helping me help myself.
Thanks for being my light in the darkness!
Thanks for taking away the darkness.
May you always spread your tremendous light in the world. May G-d bless you with all you wish.
Love,

~ B—

Chana,
Meeting you and having you work on me has truly been one of the biggest blessings in my life. I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful you are and how positive the change has been in my life. I have been able to focus at a level I haven’t been able to achieve in years! I have also had more energy and been able to accomplish tasks more efficiently. My memory has also improved and continues to improve every day. You have helped me to improve my relationships with others (parents/boyfriend/sister). I had been to therapy in my teen years and in just 2 sessions you have done more than what they had tried to achieve in years. I wish words could express how wonderful you are and how amazing your healing power is or how blessed I feel to have met and been able to have you work on me but words would not be enough. Your warm loving care and devotion to healing is unsurpassed. Thank you so much for being a part of my life and for the wonderful things you do. You are truly a blessing and I can never thank you enough for what you have done for me.

~ CMP 30 year old female

Dear Chana
Just a note to thank you for, well, for just being you! And being great at what you do as my coach… for going consistently going beyond all expectations in terms of time, patience, generosity and for your clear-mindedness… and at the same time, not creating dependency.
For this, I thank you.
I know I will come through this difficult time with grace and dignity.
Love you
