She has facilitated this process with a deep regard for who I was during each of the stages of our work together. Never once did I feel I was just another client to her. What I find remarkable about Hadley is that she honors that one’s emotional and soul work is hard, that change is harder still, and that change is a process that cannot be measured by the calendar or clock. Through her reassurance I learned that change would happen with facing old patterns, diligence in establishing new ones, and a respect for divine time. Most important, Hadley taught me that compassion for oneself makes change easier. In that gentle, honest, yet dry-humored way of hers, she held a mirror to what I could not or would not see about myself or my situation. There were times when these moments made me cry with the release of sadness, or laugh with the irony of it all; and sometimes Hadley was silently laughing or crying right there with me knowing all the while what it took for me to get to that point in my work with her. I am certain that Hadley’s work has crossed all aspects of human nature and yet she does not bring judgment to her clients’ soul work, nor does she confuse her own work-in-progress with theirs. In her presence, one can feel the tremendous respect she has for her clients, and yet she maintains both personal and professional balance that stems from a heart-felt personal code. Perhaps that inner code is a reflection of a deep connection with the soul – hers and ours. I truly believe Hadley’s work is soul-directed and that she is God’s gift in my life.
