Client Testimonials

Madhura Halasgikar Author and Wellness Coach“As a coach, you have to experiment, learn from others, and give yourself grace as you gain experience and develop skills for credentialing. I joined Coaches in CAHOOTS as a Founding Member in early 2024. Our calls are very insightful, supportive, productive, and engaging. The group is a warm and safe place which fosters growth very creatively. I find the guest speakers’ content (from coaching to content creation) very hands-on and practical. I highly recommend Coaches in CAHOOTS!”

Sharon Lusk"Joining Coaches in Cahoots has been one of the best coaching investments I’ve made to date. Each gathering feels like a refreshing breath of encouragement and practical wisdom.
Nikki and Emily are simply fantastic — warm, engaging, and genuinely invested in helping coaches grow in both confidence and competence. The sessions vary from week to week and might include live coaching practice, reviewing ICF requirements, or exploring powerful coaching tools and business-building strategies.
No matter the topic, every session offers something valuable, clear, and immediately applicable.
What makes this group special is its balance of professional development and heartfelt connection. Whether we’re brainstorming next steps, refining our coaching presence, or simply sharing wins and encouragement, I leave each session feeling grounded, capable, and connected.
If you’re looking for a coaching community that’s equal parts accountability, authenticity, and joy, I highly recommend Coaches in Cahoots.
Connecting with Nikki, Emily, and the whole Cahoots crew truly feels like a warm hug in the middle of the week."
