Inspirational Life Guidance 211 Skyline Drive, South Windsor, CT 06074

"Whenever I think of my coaching sessions with Jonathan Wachtel, the first thing that comes to mind is the Argentine Tango. Here is how tango teacher, Miles Tango, describes the dance: "Tango is the most enriching, scary, fitful, super-conscious and unconscious, fulfilling, satisfying, exasperating, deep experience you will ever have in your entire life. If you ever want to have your head handed to you, and at the same time be equally thrilled you should try tango, [or a session with Jonathan Wachtel as the case may be]. It will literally change every facet of your life in ways you haven’t even begun to imagine." I couldn’t describe my sessions with Johnathan better. It sounds like an exaggeration I know, but I’m not kidding—at least not for me. I have a very rich, complex, multifaceted life and abilities. I sought a coach to help me untwist those facets and get down to the depths of my needs and desires with clarity and vision. I also have a comprehensive spiritual understanding of the way the Universe works, and Johnathan instinctively speaks to me from that much higher vantage point—beyond the logistics of my businesses. He listens—really listens. I know because I usually make the first dance move with a discourse of people, and events and he silently trails around the dance floor of my storytelling. When it’s time for his counter step, he remembers and reiterates every detail, reflecting back to me that 1) I’m being heard and respected but not placated, and 2) always takes it to a higher level. He steers me back to focus on my feelings more than the details of how I’m going to get there. Not to say he doesn’t offer practical advice and professional expertise, but he has a keen awareness of how the Universe and our inner guides respond to our creative nature and they love it when we’re working in harmony with them and not trying to do their job. Which, admittedly I have been stumbling around on the dancefloor of life, freestyling it by myself until it begged the question, “how’s that working for ya?” Hence the need for a good dance partner. Not to get too esoteric sounding but seeming reality is far more esoteric than we realize. Jonathan understands the delicate balance between the mystical and the hard edges of materiality. Now, you may ask “what has he has actually done for me”. We’ve peeled away the fruitless, false career opportunities that have been presented to me in the last few months that would have proved to be far more detrimental in the long run. We are evaluating the low hanging, fruit, and reexamination how that could get me my heart's desires while at the same time working though the resistances due to fears and old programing. At the end of every session, he always gives me homework. Focusing first on how I want to feel this week rather than how am I going to get there. He is good at reminding me that everyone—everything in my life is a reflection of me. So, what am I trying to tell myself? That helps me to get any judgment or deflection by blaming out of the way and find and appreciate everything that is revealed to me, good, bad or indifferent. Evaluating how the events of my day-to-day life unfold from an emotional standpoint reconnects me with my internal guidance system. If it feels good, then there is my answer and continue doing it. If it doesn’t then there is my internal guidance reflecting back to me what’s not working or what needs to change. Together we’ve come to the conclusion that in my case, I have to stop giving my 50 years of accumulated intellectual property to everyone else to make huge profits in exchange for a paycheck, albeit a security blanket, I have to keep asking myself, is it making me happy or just sustaining my existence. May you get the same satisfaction in working with Jonathan Wachtel as I have. He’s a great dance partner."

"If you’re ready to open your mind to a new way of living/ working/ thinking, then Jonathan Wachtel is the coach for you!  During my own initial search, there were many “coaches” that were eager to enroll me in their newsletter, add me to their emails lists, and provide a number of other one-size-fits-all solutions.  Jonathan differentiated himself in our first interaction by taking a genuine interest in my situation and, once getting to know me better, offering his candid and specific thoughts on how he may be able to help. In the ensuing months, Jonathan patiently listened to my account of experiences and offered enlightening interpretations that gave new perspective to what I had previously perceived as ‘givens’/ fixed variables in daily life. Of particular note is Jonathan’s effectiveness in a virtual setting, as most of our sessions occurred at a time when in-person meetings were not an option. Jonathan has truly opened my eyes and mind to a path that is far more fulfilling and harmonious than that which I was traversing prior to working with him. I highly recommend bringing your open mind to Jonathan and experience the “magic”!"

"Jonathan is an incredibly gifted coach and human being and I feel SO fortunate to have connected with him. When I began working with Jonathan, I had been feeling burned out, exhausted, unbalanced, stressed, and overwhelmed in many aspects of my life. I was struggling to change my approach to things and to enact the changes I knew I wanted to make. I have been working with him for several months so far, and during this time, I have made leaps and bounds into a new experience of life that is increasingly more satisfying and joyful, and more deeply engaged with life and with myself. His coaching has been very cohesive, following a continuous strand of a seemingly simple yet utterly profound approach to life, which really gets to the "root" of things. I have learned many practical, useful, profound, and deeply beneficial approaches to relating with myself and others through working with him. There are many nuances of this work that Jonathan has expertly helped me to work through. These days I feel much more inspired, joyful, confident, and empowered, and this has in large part been been catalyzed by his help and guidance, along with my deep commitment to myself to make the changes I really want to make. I can't recommend Jonathan, and his inspired and gifted coaching, enough!"

"I truly don't know how I was ever able to get what I wanted or needed in my life prior to beginning my sessions with Jonathan. He's helped me understand myself better thereby giving me greater knowledge of my needs and most importantly how to successfully attain my desires! Jonathan has been and continues to be the catalyst in me purchasing my own home while giving me my emotional independence and a new way of looking at the world. In the past, I've struggled with weight along with an almost 20 year cigarette addiction. However, seeing Jonathan regularly has brought me down the path of finally kicking my cigarette habit and losing 100+ pounds. If you're looking for direction, Jonathan is absolutely the answer."

"I've worked with Jonathan numerous times over the last five years. Each time we've spoken, he has helped me to see my life from a different perspective. His questions allow me to visualize and move toward what I've truly always wanted in life. The amazing part is that the answers are within, he just allows you to see them clearly. He helps establish your own tools that you use to build the future that you want. Jonathan has always been helpful, more than necessary. He has gone the extra mile to help and is truly interested in your life and well being. I cannot recommend him enough. He has seen me grow and I've also seen his growth over the years and it's very exciting and encouraging."
