SUCCESS STORIES
JILL D., NEW YORK
A year ago, we began our family’s journey with Breakthrough Coaching. At the age of sixteen, my son’s struggles were significant and he had been in several residential programs and worked with multiple therapists. He began working with KAT and she immediately established rapport with him. My son looks forward to his sessions with KAT. KAT helped him to develop practical tools and techniques that he could use to navigate daily life and manage his emotions in healthy ways. In the last year, my son has made tremendous progress and has overcome many challenges and KAT’S role in his growth cannot be underestimated. She has become an integral part of his clinical team and she provides valuable insight and perspective as we regularly collaborate on important decisions. KAT provides valuable feedback that helps us best support our son.
My daughter began working with MARY eight months ago. In addition to typical teenage struggles, she was also coping with feelings related to significant family stressors. In response to poor decision making, my husband and I required our daughter to work with MARY for four sessions. In the past, she worked with two different therapists but she never connected with them and it was short lived. She was very resistant to working with another professional and it did take her some time to see value in this relationship. However, after the mandated four sessions she asked to continue and now she is eager to update MARY on her life and get help in navigating small and big decisions. MARY’S warmth and compassion helps her feel comfortable and she is continuing to develop greater coping strategies. At the end of each session, my daughter develops goals for the upcoming week and is held accountable for her progress in meeting those expectations. MARY consistently communicates with me and offers suggestions on how best to support my daughter.
I gave myself the gift of working with PAM. I was struggling to find the time to work on my own healing as I was balancing my family’s needs and a busy career. PAM helped me to recognize the need to prioritze my own needs and process difficult emotions and experiences. At our very first session, I felt heard, understood, and supported. She creates a safe and non-judgmental space for me to explore my thoughts, feelings, and concerns. She listens attentively, asks insightful questions, and provides guidance and feedback that help me gain clarity and perspective. She truly cares about me and is invested in my journey of growth.
My son, daughter and I have all benefited greatly from our experiences with KAT, MARY and PAM. Previously, we all worked with traditional therapists and needed a different approach. Instead of focusing on past experiences, in life coaching I recognize my current challenges and then work to alter my mindset and approach to address these issues in a positive way. In addition to our own individual growth and support, we have also benefited from an integrated family approach as K,AT, MARY and PAM are able to advocate for each of us and help us to enhance our relationships with one another.
While I have never physically met these three amazing women, they have become part of our family and when having an important conversation we all comment on wanting their input and advice. I am truly grateful for the impact they have had on our lives and it is without hesitation that I recommend their services.
TORIE, QUINCY, IL
Amy is such an amazing coach. Before meeting with her I felt stuck and unfocused (working mom of three during covid). After a few sessions I was able to talk through what was holding me back and was able to outline what I wanted next in my life. She helped me plan how to achieve it and kept me accountable along the way. I love that she is always able to lift me up and keep me moving forward. She was also able to give me techniques to use going forward with breathing, financial planning, dream storming, etc. that I can continue to use. I highly recommend Breakthrough Coaching Center to everyone.
ESOSA, FAIRFAX, VA
Pam is an exceptional coach that is able to meet clients where they are and give them tools to reach their personal and professional goals in a relatable and tangible way.
After working with her for a year now, I can say that I have better perspective about work and life matters that arise, I'm more aware of where I can cut myself slack, and aware of where I can continuously grow. My work with her has contributed greatly to managing and overcoming the feeling of overwhelm, and also processing emotions in a healthier way. She is adept at getting to the core or root issues behind challenges and providing a perspective that helps to shift my approach to them. I highly highly recommend anyone looking for personal or professional growth consider working with her because she is the bomb dot com, period.
ALYSE, SPRINGFIELD, OH
Working with Amy Marzluff has been one of the highlights of the last two years. From the first session I knew she really “got” me. Her knowledge, spirituality and kindness are an added bonus to her life coaching skills. A special part of her coaching is getting positive short text message videos from her. Just letting you know she is thinking of you and that you can do anything. She doesn’t need to do this, it’s on her own time. Just shows how Breakthrough Coaching is always there for you. After your first session, you will be so thankful to have Amy in your life.
ATOI, TOLEDO, OH
If I had to sum up Pam in one word as a coach it would be "Transformative". Pam has a way of listening to you and asking questions that really make you have that 'AHA' moment when everything starts to click and make sense.
I had never thought to work with a coach, but I was referred to Pam and I decided to take a chance and invest in myself. I am so glad that I did because Pam is awesome! She helped me see that I put up lot of mental blocks and pressure on myself with self-imposed goals I felt I needed to reach. Pam gave me strategies to work through those challenges and helped me create a focused and intentional plan to work towards more meaningful achievements.
Pam was wonderful to work with, She helped me transform my thinking and I will definitely work with her again. Thank you Pam you are the Ultimate Superstar!
SERENE , PHOENIX, AZ
I was fortunate to have the experience of working with both Kat and Mary from Breakthrough Coaching Center to overcome anxiety navigating my food allergies with milk, nuts and my food allergy program. I was hesitant about working with a “Child Life Specialist” as I was concerned, I wouldn’t find success working with them being 22-years old, but that wasn’t a concern once our work began.
Prior to knowing about BCC I would have anxiety attacks when I entered a room with milk. The first time I met with Kat and Mary I couldn’t talk about my allergens without breaking down and now after our work things are going smoothly as I am drinking milk every day without reactions or issues. Kat and Mary were both incredibly supportive. They took the time to listen and understand what I was going through. In the past, I’ve been told that “I was fine” and I had “no reason to be anxious”. They were able to meet me where I was and helped me to take steps to move forward instead of expecting me to already be improved.
Kat and Mary both have a positive demeanor are attentive and are enthusiastic to be doing the work that they are doing. I would recommend them to any one with similar food allergies/issues as well as anyone who is introducing something new into their life.
SUE, GAITHERSBERG, MD
I am a mother of a teenage child going through major depression. We are so lucky to have Kat as our Child Life Specialist. We love her approach and professionalism. She is an honest, dedicated and an insightful person who has been coaching my kid for her depression and how to cope with it. Kat is excellent about follow ups and working closely with parents, doctors and even school to help provide the tools and resources for my kid. She is great at problem-solving with empathy and we are so happy to avail her services.
MINDY, ST. LOUIS, MO
Working with Breakthrough Coaching Center, Pam and Amy has been life changing for me. These ladies have helped me professionally, personally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. I have yet to walk away from one of our sessions without at least one life changing “aha” moment or golden nugget to live by. Honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience with both of these amazing coaches!
WENDY, COMMACK, NY
I am so grateful for my outstanding experience and relationship with my coaches, Amy and Pam. I had worked with Amy previously and I came back to her at a time of transition in my life. She introduced me to Pam and the dynamic between the two of them together is extremely powerful. They bring two different styles of coaching that create a tremendous sense of accountability, action, and growth. When I began working with them, I couldn’t imagine how to proceed into my future, in fact I couldn’t even dream about what I might want for my future. The work I have been doing with them has helped me to break through a lot of old habits and barriers I had created, and they opened my eyes and my mind to taking steps that I hadn’t been able to take before. I continue my work with them because I love what I learn about myself and all that I am stepping into.
RACHEL, NEW YORK, NY
Breakthrough Coaching Center came into my life when I was in a place of panic. My teenage daughter was struggling and I needed sound support. My instinct as a mom was to try to save her from the chaos in her mind. With their encouragement, I was able to slow down, see more clearly and navigate the situation calmer. The way BCC’s diverse coaches and specialists banded together to help my family has been unique and life changing for all. I am grateful for their support and would recommend BCC to any family needing help navigating parenthood and raising resilient young adults! Thank you Amy, Kat and Pam!
KRYSTEE, LOS ANGELES, CA
There’s life before BCC… and then there’s life AFTER BCC. These insightful and caring ladies rallied behind me and spoke wisdom and discernment into my life when, at the time, all I could hear was my own condescending voice whispering, “you’ll never be enough”. The thing is, on the outside, no one would have known that was my internal conversation. I was in a constant state of survival mode and burning out quickly. Together, Pam and Amy reignited my flame by showing me how to first, recognize that mean voice, and second, have more thoughtful and curious conversations with that voice. This has been life-changing because the limiting conversations we have in our heads keep us from living the best version of our lives. Since working with Breakthrough Coaching Center, I have gained confidence that has improved both my marriage and my professional life. I now walk confidently in my identity and in my unique skill sets. I know what I bring to the table and I ask myself more interesting questions daily, which has improved my ability to articulate my fears. And when you speak your fears aloud, and shine a light on them, they lose their power over you! I am now in a state of dreaming about my life again vs fearing it. And it feels good.

Kat came into our lives about seven months after my mom passed away. Despite a long battle with cancer and always anticipating loss, I was overwhelmed with grief. My children were experiencing their own grief as they lost their, self-proclaimed, “favorite grandma”. I realized I couldn’t give them the tools and resources they desperately needed while searching for my own. My 8 year old son was having nearly daily painful, hysterical outbursts and all I could say was “I know”. My daughter quietly cried alone behind closed doors, when she thought I couldn’t hear her. I was introduced to Kat and she immediately was a bright light in our darkness. Kat gave me the opportunity to share our story, both the love we have and the love we lost. She quickly made connections with both my children. My son and daughter opened up to her immediately, I was surprised how quickly and easily my daughter was able to share her story. After my son’s first session he announced that “she made me feel better, I don’t know how, but I do”. My daughter shared her story about her grandmother, but also opened up and about her teenage struggles in general. They both were eager and excited to spend an hour with Kat every week. She both listened and provided tangible self healing tools and set them up for success on their healing journey. My son’s outbursts are still painful, but they are infrequent and pass quickly. My daughter stills looks forward to talking with Kat. We are so grateful that Kat is part of our family.

Working with the Breakthrough Coaching Center has helped me to be more thoughtful and accountable around decisions made both personally and professionally. It has provided me with structure and accountability and a team of coaches that offer practical, actionable advice. Being coached by Pam and Amy is different than working with a single coach due to their distinct styles that complement each other. My experience has been richer than just working with a single coach. I have gained so much from their different perspectives and insight. They have this uncanny ability to be able to riff off of each other, while hitting the bullseye on what needs to be addressed. Pam’s no-nonsense and caring approach accompanied by Amy’s encouraging and humble insight has me looking forward to our work together. They are genuine, authentic and have helped me to shift old patterns and cycles to get me moving forward in many different areas of my life.
MELISSA, NEW YORK, NY
During both meetings (very different visits during very different times) I left feeling inspired and mentally clearer than going in. Also, hungry to thrive in any situation as best as I can not only for my own peace and wellness but for my loved ones as well. I was fortunate enough to work with BCC on a couple of occasions. Our first meeting was in a large group setting with my entire company (prior to the onset of CoVid- 19). After going thru various exercises covering various topics (both personal and professional) I found myself feeling best about the things that gave me the desire to truly “thrive” and not just “survive”.
We then met again in the midst of this worldly pandemic not in person but via a virtual Zoom call with a smaller group of just women. This time there weren’t any exercises to think thru and write down but just good, honest discussion of how we are feeling. Especially as women, wives, girlfriends, and Mom’s and what we are doing to stay strong and thrive in such a delicate time. Especially during a time that most people want to just survive or even give up.
I would certainly recommend BCC to any individual or company. The coaches at BCC are real and honest and help steer you to a mindset of positive thinking.
SKYLAR, COLUMBUS OH
I have worked with the BCC team in a 1-on-1 coaching container for months now and I have completely changed my mindset and life. I have been able to have a safe space for me to process, decompress and get inspired every week. I leave my sessions feeling LIT UP and ready for anything life throws at me.
I am a young business owner with a team to manage and business to run which brings up challenges that I need back up handling, I also am in my 20’s trying to learn how to adult and BCC has been here to help me through it all. I am so beyond thankful for BCC and how much they have supported me.
DAVE, NEW YORK, NY
Pam and Amy are AWESOME! Throughout my experience with Breakthrough Coaching Center I was always motivated. Amy and Pam invited me into a safe space of accountability for my plans and priorities. For all my personal, career and financial goals Breakthrough Coaching Center helped me tackle barriers that held me back for years. By thoroughly identifying them, strategically attacking them head-on with effective action plans and consistently following up on progress and next steps. If it wasn't for Pam and Amy I would have continued to accept complacency but instead, I have become unstuck and my dreams have been set in motion.
JENNIFER, KNOXVILLE, TN
This workshop was beneficial for our employees at all levels in their professional and personal development. We have never done anything like this before and I was pleasantly surprised how well-received it was by everyone. I was happy to hear individuals referencing specific terminology from the workshop in subsequent meetings. Highly recommend!
BETH, COLUMBUS, OH
I am a seeker and continually like to transform and self-evolve. This program allowed me space to learn new insights, challenge my current thoughts, receive inspiration and share with other forward-thinking women. I liked the intimacy of the small group and the ideas/thoughts that were shared amongst the group. I wasn't ready for the program to end. I felt like I was just getting started in creating a better vision for me in some areas of my life.
DORIAN, MONTCLAIR, NJ
I just love working with Breakthrough Coaching Center. Their coaches (Pam and Amy) always put things into perspective for me in a real and honest way. After working with them recently, I felt so much better. I learned how to do my best to “thrive” during a time when I was just sort of surviving. I also learned to be aware of my triggers. Most importantly I stopped and just became more aware of what I needed to do to get through this time in the best way possible. I love their candor and honesty. They also are open and share their personal journey. I would 100% recommend them to another company. Their zoom call with our team was a turning point for me during the pandemic. I constantly refer back to topics we discussed during that call and I wanted to share my insight afterwards with my friends and family. I hope I keep on thriving!

BCC Seminar: Leading Virtually During a Pandemic was wonderful in that it gave me more tools to be the best version of myself in the virtual meeting environment.
I feel fortunate to have been given the time for self development and growth. The topics were timely and helpful for everyday business and the entire afternoon was a good reminder that I am surrounded by supportive strong women.
Little did I know I would be setting up a virtual home studio where I would be broadcasting from for the next 7 months when I went home in March... the BCC event gave me a variety of tips for camera lighting, body language and the importance of connecting with your audience when working and projecting virtually for everyday meetings with customers and colleagues. These tips are insightful and increase your business presence and confidence when presenting virtually and from a home environment.
BETSY, LIVINGSTON, NJ
Although my focus was on career development, I found that looking at how I think and what I believe, and setting goals and formulating steps to achieve these, with the guidance and encouragement of BCC coaches, has brought me a degree closer to the possibilities in my professional life. It has also changed my outlook on life and given me the insight and skills to continue the journey forward on all fronts. Coaching gave me the real motivation to make changes, which have led to improvements in all areas of my life. I highly recommend BCC’s Coaching Program to whatever age or stage in life you are in to strengthen your growth mindset.
