“Before working with Kalila, I knew what I wanted to do, but I couldn't find the smaller action steps to get there.
Kalila helped me break down all the aspects of building an online coaching business to focus on exactly what is necessary to start connecting with potential clients. I had a lot of things going on during the months I worked with Kalila – each time I felt overwhelmed or frustrated she helped me gain perspective and give myself permission to rest and regroup.
This was my biggest lesson from working with her: That we cannot build a sustainable business by grinding through our lives forever.
My friends are supportive, but Kalila is one of the few true champions that believes in my dream as much as I do. Having her support has been critical to continuing to work towards my dream over the past four months.”

“Before working with Dr. Kalila Bodden, I was struggling with finding the motivation to lead a healthier lifestyle. I felt I needed to make changes, yet I found myself stuck in the ruts I had created in my own life. I was frustrated with my inability to work towards a healthier balance between my work life and my dedication to personal health, both from a dietary and physical exercise point of view.
As I worked with Dr. Bodden, through a totally independent process, it was determined that I would require open heart surgery. As I assimilated this news Dr. Bodden was gracious and supportive. As you can imagine the focus of our sessions shifted given this new information regarding upcoming surgery. Dr. Bodden, helped me process the information I had been given. She was instrumental in helping me understand what was required and being able to move the process forward.
As a coach she allowed me the space to completely refocus our coaching sessions to and effectively help me identify how to move forward on my own terms, within the guidance of my physicians. Regarding dietary goals, I have moved from a mind-set of never being able to cook at home to actually enjoying making healthy meals I crave. Regarding exercise goals, we developed a clear set of exercises & outdoor activities to help build strength after surgery. These also align with my original fitness goals from when we started. So going forward I have a clear path of what to do to progress towards a healthier lifestyle.
Dr. Bodden is fully capable for coaching her clients through any obstacles they may be encountering. Her patience and willingness to shift priorities depending on life experiences makes her an extremely versatile coach. Dr. Bodden has a unique skillset. As a certified coach, and graduate of Medical School, she is uniquely positioned to help her clients assimilate complex medical information and work with them to move forward within the recommendations of the clients’ physicians.”

"I simply love working with Kalila!
When I met her I was trying to get my business off the ground. I was having personal problems as well and I was frustrated with not having organization or focus. I was buying courses that I never finished and wasting money on programs. I knew I needed direction but I didn’t know where to start and I wanted to do it the right way.
Kalila helped me not only find my niche but also start connecting with potential clients. I was really nervous, but with Kalila's simple guidance I was was soon growing my confidence and belief that I could do this and sign on clients.
In the middle of my coaching with Kalila, I had an opportunity to open a physical space for my business. She supported me in deciding what direction I wanted my business to grow and helping me with setting it up to open doors. She also helped me craft my story to share with my audience. After that call I had vibes of excitement that I was doing the right thing!
After working with Kalila I have more direction, focus, and organization in my business that I didn’t have before. I know I can have a successful online coaching business and create the freedom lifestyle I have always wanted! Thank you Kalila!"

“When it came to wellness in our organization, our biggest challenges were the exposure hours of team members and answering emails after working hours.
Kalila helped us to reinforce the requirement for balance in work and life, and supported us in adopting strategies to maintain lower stress levels.
After working with Kalila, our organization is now more open to discussions and sharing of our work-life balance successes and challenges. She also helped team members set clear boundaries after working hours.
What we found the most valuable about Kalila’s Corporate Wellness events has been learning how to effectively balance work and life – the interactive sharing of information and timely reminders articulated have been invaluable.
If your organization is considering Kalila’s services for corporate wellness, we recommend coordinating sessions for your teams as the benefits derived are life-enhancing.”

“My biggest struggles before I started working with Kalila were time management, organization, and self-confidence. It was amazing working with Kalila – I felt like every session helped me grow in terms of my self-confidence and made me feel like I was on the right path.
Before working with Kalila, I was not as open-minded or as much as a go-getter as I am now. A big win I had when working with her was that I was offered an internship – without even an interview – because of my professionalism and persistence. Working with her resulted in my self-confidence expanding: I have been able to effectively step out of my comfort zone and not be afraid to take on challenges, which has allowed me to grow as an individual.
What I found the most valuable about this experience is being able to find myself more as an individual – working with Kalila has created great clarity for me in my professional life.”

"I had just finalized my decision to build a coaching business but had no clue how to start.
Kalila helped me identify my niche so that I could attract my ideal client.
I knew I wanted to help people transform their lives but she helped me narrow my focus down to mindset and habits.
She also helped me see which areas of my business I needed to focus on first and which ones I could hold off on.
Once I signed up to work with Kalila, I was able to start putting myself out there and engaging with my ideal clients right away!
Kalila also helped me build the confidence that I needed to believe that this adventure was actually possible.
After working with Kalila, not only do I feel more confident about my business, I know that I will be successful. I made so much progress with her and I am thankful that I was able to learn so much."

Working with Kalila Bodden is a wonderful investment to make in yourself!
In my time working with Kalila I started out with a lot of anxiety about my new coaching business which surfaced in the form of self-sabotage and avoidance.
Kalila helped me to take the pressure off and allow myself the space to step back and re-focus so that I could find clarity around my niche and my messaging. She also helped me to tackle some perfectionist tendencies and confidence issues in order to make steps forward and move into an online presence without stalling and over-thinking.
With Kalila’s guidance I have finally allowed myself to slow down and see the next step in front of me while I build the framework for my own coaching business and enjoy the freedom that my business provides me along the journey!
Kalila is a fantastic coach who is genuine, caring, understanding, and vastly knowledgeable when it comes to building a healthy and happy life on your own terms!
For those of you on the fence about working with Kalila to build your online coaching business, I suggest you go for it!
Thank you for the wonderful insight, support and guidance Kalila!”

“2020 was a year unlike any other where it provided the opportunity to explore and develop my business which I am passionate about but just didn't have the time to get off the ground – I hadn't figured out how or where to launch my services or begin working with clients since I work full-time. While researching "life coaching" I came across Kalila's website and there was something about her story that I connected to and evidently after much procrastination - I made the connection.
My 1st challenge was getting over the block to that investing in myself and my business in this format was worth it. Accepting that I needed help was also a challenge - you know us independent CEOs like to get it all done ourselves.
After working with Kalila, I was able to structure my services that worked best for me, market the business online, begin to build my clientele and even branch out providing webinars across various audiences and formats. I am not a fan of promoting myself and what I do; working Kalila she helped me to build that self-confidence and get much more comfortable talking about why potential clients should work with me, how I can help them, and what solutions I can support them with.
Definitely if you are an entrepreneur looking to uplevel your business, need someone to be in your corner, give you that support as you progress building your business, then Kalila is the coach for you. Kalila is genuine and caring. She is well knowledgeable as a coach and professional and will know what will fit best with you and how you want your business to run. Kalila is also huge on celebrating each step in your progress and encouraging you to as well. Working with Kalila has been a pleasure. But most of all I truly appreciate that although our work together has completed at this moment, she continues to provide support and encouragement. Don't procrastinate, take the plunge, invest in yourself and sign up to work with Kalila Bodden and see how she can help you make your Freedom Lifestyle changes.”
— Dr. Shari Smith, Clinical Psychologist & Life Coach
Working with Kalila, I created a program that matched my schedule and the way I want to live my freedom lifestyle.
What I loved was that Kalila’s approach to coaching is truly holistic. It’s about you as a person.”
— Karen K., Leadership and Executive Management Consultant
I had started to encounter a couple of quite stressful situations in both my private and professional lives.
Upon meeting with Kalila, I immediately knew I had made the right choice.
Personally my initial thoughts were – and this was after talking with Kalila for only 1 hour – “I can do this!”
I was blown away with the detail, tailored advice and results I achieved in such a short space of time.
Kalila was literally 2 steps ahead of everything during each session.
During times of stress, Kalila became a rock for me to mentally hold on to which I could only recommend to anyone.
Straight up, I could not say any better words or recommendations in even an initial discovery call with Kalila. You will not be disappointed!
An absolute all-star in her field!”
