Life coaching has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I find myself asking, “Why am I so lucky to have this opportunity to explore my inner universe when there are so many others who would benefit from this as well?” It’s like I have become a completely different individual after each lesson. The changes were subtle at first but now I see the horizon beyond the black forest. Thank you, Tom, for this beautiful journey of self realization.

“I never expected that meeting Tom would be a turning point in my life. When I met Tom I was in the hardest time in my life. I was full of self-doubt. I was so afraid to face the past and had no faith in my future. It was Tom who guided me to discover my inner strength to pull me through with his wisdom and unconditional love. Tom’s vision of becoming a global leader and his passion for life coaching inspired me to start thinking what’s the meaning of my life, what truly makes me happy. Now I am on the journey of being life coach. Thanks for Tom’s unconditional support and firm faith in me. When I felt like the door to the outside world was closed, it was Tom who guided me to open a window to my inner world. Without him, I could never be where I am now. “

Tom is a truly unique person and I have never met anyone quite like him. Beyond his loving presence and words of wisdom is a spirit not afraid of sharing exactly who he is — you can feel his genuine love and peaceful presence.
In our coaching together, Tom facilitates a safe environment where together I was able to pin point my limiting beliefs and uncover blocks to my success and happiness. By gaining awareness of the beliefs that did not serve me, I was able to replace these false beliefs with the truths of my being. It is this realignment with my truth that has brought abundant happiness and peace into my everyday life. I’m truly a changed person!
As I contemplate myself surrounded by conditions I wish to attract into my life, I know Tom plays an important role in my journey. I love and trust Tom completely and I know he is able to add value to anyone willing to seek it.

Practicing the art of Staying in the Flow, that is what my work with Tom has allowed me to do in greater ways than I had ever previously imagined.
My time with Tom has been life changing, liberating, empowering, and a complete joy. Through the sessions I was able to foster a deeper relationship with the divine wisdom within myself and discover a deeper purpose and higher vision for my life. I learned to hear and see it more clearly and follow it more courageously. By allowing my own fears and limiting beliefs to come to the surface, I learned the process of making friends with my fears and discovering the hidden gifts that they had for me. As I learned how to slow down and deeply listen to the guidance and wisdom of my own soul, it simultaneously built my courage allowing myself the permission to follow my heart and be who I came here to be. Tom is an unconditionally supportive ally in helping you find your own vision and live your truth; and living your own truth is true empowerment.

When I first began working with Tom I was training as a life coach, but unsure about my niche. Tom helped me clarify my vision and then supported me with his encouragement, compassion and belief in me. He really listened to me and helped me overcome obstacles that I had struggled with for a long time. My vision has expanded way beyond my previous expectations and I have greater confidence in myself and in my life purpose. Tom’s gentle but firm guidance and loving concern pushed me to reach further in making my dreams come true.

I met Tom at a time in my life where I needed to quickly balance my options for the future, and to take steps to set my plans in motion. Our meetings were at the core of my essence and provided me with an environment that induced complete honesty.
In the course of months, I went from being underemployed to attaining aposition as a faculty member at a large state university. I also was able to undertake my doctoral defense and bring my PhD studies to successful closure. I addressed issues such as health, fitness, love, romance, career, environment, finances, and spirituality.
Tom and I became close friends through the coaching journey and he helped me get into the driver’s seat of my life instead of being a passenger. As a mainstream guy with a Roman Catholic upbringing, Tom respected my world-view and actually broadened my existing faith.

Tom Hilgardner is an artful and soulful coach. I hired Tom to help me navigate a challenging work transition as well as a personal transition outside of work. Tom was incredibly supportive, and even when I came into some of the calls feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, I left the session feeling calmer and clear about my next action steps. What I appreciate most about Tom is that I feel totally supported by him in whatever I want to achieve – nothing is too big for Tom! He brings a clear structure to the calls, but I was also impressed with how flexible he could be to my changing needs, and how responsive he was to my intentions. I highly recommend Tom.
