Life is Happening FOR You, Not TO You
Vera Kessler, CTLC's style
💙 Warm 👂 Listener 💡 Solution-oriented 🥇 EmpoweringWhy Vera Kessler, CTLC chose to be in the helping profession
For so many women, life becomes about holding everything together for everyone else. We nurture our relationships with our husbands, children, parents, siblings, and friends, often giving so much of ourselves that somewhere along the way, we lose touch with who we are underneath it all. On the outside, it may look like we have everything under control, but internally we can feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, and quietly carrying burdens that no one else fully sees. Between toddler tantrums, teenage tumult, managing a household, working, volunteering, and carrying the emotional weight of marriage and family life, many women find themselves surviving each day while completely abandoning their own needs in the process.
As an expert life coach, I guide women on the journey of rediscovering themselves on a soul level so they can begin living from a place of authenticity again. I empower women to reconnect with their self-worth, self-love, and self-value so they can experience the freedom that comes from truly honoring themselves. This work is not about becoming someone new. It is about coming home to the person you already are underneath the pressure, expectations, and emotional exhaustion. I know personally what it feels like to live in survival mode, constantly pouring into everyone else while feeling depleted inside. Through my own journey, I learned how to move from simply surviving to truly thriving, and now I help women create lives that feel deeply meaningful, joyful, emotionally free, and aligned with who they truly are.
My passion is helping women step out of overwhelm and into a life they are genuinely excited to wake up to each day. Together, we work on creating healthier emotional boundaries, deeper self-awareness, and a stronger connection to their inner voice and needs. I believe women deserve more than just getting through the day. They deserve to feel fulfilled, grounded, confident, and alive in their own lives. When a woman reconnects with herself, everything around her begins to shift in powerful and beautiful ways.
Vera Kessler, CTLC's approach
As a compassionate coach, I create a space where women feel deeply seen, heard, validated, and understood. Through powerful questions and meaningful self-discovery, I help women uncover their inner strengths, hidden passions, and the parts of themselves they may have lost along the way. Together, we explore new perspectives that open the door to possibilities they may not have thought were available to them. I guide women in learning how to stop people pleasing, stop feeling emotionally dependent on others for validation, and begin becoming their own source of happiness, confidence, and fulfillment.
Our work together focuses on breaking through limiting beliefs, setting healthy boundaries, and creating lasting emotional growth so women can live happier, more vibrant, and authentic lives. As a spiritually centered coach, I bring compassion, warmth, and depth into the coaching process while helping women reconnect with themselves on a deeper level. I offer personal one-on-one coaching, as well as workshops and support groups, to provide both individualized guidance and meaningful community support along the journey.
What you can expect from sessions with Vera Kessler, CTLC
If you are ready to start living a life rooted in deep self-worth, self-love, and authenticity, without guilt, shame, or fear, then I am here to support you on that journey. I help women gain clarity about what they truly want out of life and take the necessary action steps to get there. Each session is filled with powerful conversation, self-discovery, and meaningful spiritual life lessons that can be applied directly to everyday life. My specialty is helping women learn to truly value themselves so they can create lives that feel joyful, meaningful, purposeful, and emotionally fulfilling.
To support lasting growth and transformation, we meet once a week on Zoom for a full 60-minute session. In addition, I offer ongoing support throughout the week via WhatsApp voice notes and text, so you do not have to navigate challenges alone in between sessions. Whether you are working through emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, self-doubt, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Vera Kessler, CTLC's experience working with the Jewish community
I connect deeply with Jewish women on a soul level and find tremendous meaning in helping them grow, heal, and reconnect with themselves. Our neshamot naturally yearn to expand, elevate, and live with greater purpose and authenticity, no matter what level of observance we come from. As Jewish women, we care deeply about our families, our communities, and the world around us, often giving so much of ourselves to others. I believe that when a woman begins truly investing in her own self-growth, healing, and self-worth, she becomes incredibly powerful and unstoppable in creating a life filled with meaning, joy, and purpose.

What people have to say about working with me:
-
I highly recommend Vera as a coach. Vera is truly insightful, professional, and passionate at what she does. She asks all the right questions. She has helped me be introspective, shown me how to look at myself from an outside view, and she makes sure that everything is contemplated in a very positive light. Vera is extremely easy to speak with, and I didn't have to hold anything back. In addition, she is an incredible listener and analyzes the different pieces of what I am telling her and then seamlessly puts them together into bite size action items. Vera has never needed to give me the answers to anything, but has guided me to finding them myself.
