l”Dr. Diorio was very helpful in helping me to re-examine my dreams and to overcome my fears in pursuing them. Her warmth and caring reach very deeply . . . right into the very spot that hurts in the heart and helps to bring accomplishment out of pain. Her Christ-like example and Godly wisdom help point ones like me–who have gotten too wrapped up in life’s issues–back on the right trail of dreams. 🙂 Thank you so very much for taking time out of your life to bless others. You have helped me dream bigger in my diamond business and in my music ministry.” – Melanie L. Wilson (Millville, New Jersey)

“Having a chance to reflect on life goals in the company of someone who takes the time to listen—really listen—was a real treat. Life gets so busy, that I often forget to consider what’s really important when making everyday decisions.

“Mary Ann’s Free Conference with me was like jump-starting an old car with a dead battery. On a day that rain fell steadily, refreshing our drought-stricken South Carolina soil, her suggestions were just as refreshing for me. They revived long-forgotten memories of avenues for renewing a writing ministry from my home.” – Katherine Rampey (South Carolina)

“I must confess I was not certain just what to expect but assured myself that, by relaxing and leaving it up to you as the ship’s captain, the course of our conversation would bring positive results. And guess what?  That’s exactly what happened . . . I was left with a feeling of accomplishment and a determination to forge ahead with the Lord always there. Knowing what one desires, how to go about achieving it, and with good counseling, [one] cannot help but produce positive results.” – Roba McCleod (Bridgeton, New Jersey)

“The stresses of an empty nest, caring for my father in the final stages of cancer, dealing with the estate paper work, and working full time as an elementary school assistant principal left me with little time or energy to devote to my goal of becoming an established writer. Mary Ann helped me balance my responsibilities and my personal priorities. She never ‘told’ me what I should do, but helped me to discover what I was allowing to keep me from my goals. Her gentle questions allowed me to see my situation in the light of truth and helped me define ad choose to take actions to move closer to my goals each week. Mary Ann is an encourager who sincerely cares about each of her clients. I was most impressed that she began and ended each session with prayer.” – Vie Herlocker (Leesburg, Virginia)

‘When I initially contacted Dr. Diorio about coaching, I thought I probably would not use her because her credentials were so outstanding that I felt she would be unapproachable or too sophisticated for my style. I couldn’t have been more wrong. From the moment we began talking, I sensed her keen insight and sensitivity to me and to the Holy Spirit. what a marvelous coaching relationship this has been! Hand in hand with Holy Spirit and Mary Ann, I have marched forward into dreams that I have long held, but couldn’t quite capture and bring to fruition. Some thought patterns that have held me back for many years have been dissolved, and directions that I have long desired to take have gained clarity like I never expected. I had worked with a coach several years before but had no idea that the coaching process could be this enlightening and enriching. I cannot adequately express the joy that I am feeling as I move forward in my mission. Mary Ann has become much more than a coach; she is a dear friend on the other side of the continent!” – Marlee Huber (Everett, Washington)

“I had dreams with no direction, no perseverance, no commitment. That has changed after many years, in a very short time. I have been working with Mary Ann . . . for the past eight weeks . . . . I cannot tell you how much it has changed my life, attitude, and interest. I have more directed enthusiasm, focus, control of my time, knowledge of what is important to me, and a real understanding of my place with Jesus and His Father; knowing how much He loves me. I have found a calmness of spirit that I have been searching for a lot of years. I am finally on a path where I feel comfortable with me and that has been a long time coming. I have a lot of work to do, but a whole new ‘Jim” has been revealed to me and, with God’s help, I hope to make him who he has always dreamed of being.” – Jim Connelly (Avalon, New Jersey)

“I found the group coaching experience (for writers) very rewarding. The initial emphasis of the sessions was on character development, and it was extremely helpful to be reminded that there is a crucial correlation between writing instruction and personal discipline and growth. The information MaryAnn shared on writing, setting goals, and strengthening one’s walk with the Lord [gave me] tools that I will use always, in all things. The encouragement MaryAnn provided is helping me succeed and to walk in what God has called me to do. MaryAnn truly has a gift for encouraging, motivating and inspiring one to be the best [he] can.” – Karen Lange (Cape May Court House, New Jersey)

“Coaching with Dr. Diorio has drastically changed my life for the better. She is a wealth of accurate information and positive direction.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you what a positive thing being coached by you has been. I found being coached by you put me in touch with goals and priorities that are really important to me. I’ve really had to think hard about where I’m going and how I’m going to get there. I’ve gained some really useful tools to make life changes that I’ve been trying to make for years! Anything is achievable if you have a clear plan. Being coached has helped me develop a real, concrete plan to become the wife, mother and businesswoman I want to be. For me, being coached was like have a personal trainer for my mind. Just as when I work out at the gym, I always accomplish more with a trainer than I would on my own, I found having a life coach kept me focused on my core values and goals. Because someone was watching, I made sure to stay on the right course. I’ve developed some good habits that will keep me going in the right direction. Thank you for helping me identify the right path.” – Tracy Chance (Millville, New Jersey)

“To anyone who is questioning whether to contact MaryAnn or not, I would encourage you to ‘Go for it!’ She immediately made me feel at ease, like I was talking to an old friend. After listening, she encouraged and helped me to set goals, recognize what might keep me from those goals, and then come up with solutions to overcoming those hindrances so I could reach my goals. Her words are bathed in prayer and always in harmony with God’s Word. I thank God for directing me to her and for her abilities to serve others as a life coach.” – Rose McCauley (Cynthiana, Kentucky)

“From my first conversation with MaryAnn, the ‘free consultation,’ I KNEW she could help me. I was stuck in a rut of indecision, sporadic motivation and lack of direction. Although I sincerely wanted to improve my life, I was not able to ‘get my car out of park,’ as she so lovingly observed! Each session included prayer, thought-provoking questions, and specific assignments that led me to discover (or re-discover) who I am and where I am going at this season of life. The key concepts have become valuable tools that I return to often. MaryAnn is a coach, not a miracle worker. She gave me the equipment, the approach and the encouragement I needed to work my way out of the rut and back into a fulfilling life. Practical skills for practical life is what life coaching with MaryAnn is all about.” – Kim Bunton (Rock Port, Missouri)

Through our sessions, lifelong obstacles were removed and healing took place by the power of prayer. I immediately began to experience focus and clarity to reach my goals. She helped me to rediscover the joy and excitement of the purposes God placed in me. Instead of living according to old codes of survival, she helped me discover God’s code of glory for me. I have courage to tackle projects that overwhelmed me before. I am now in the process of writing a novel which God placed in my heart many years ago. Thank you, MaryAnn, for allowing God to use you in my life.” – Sue Eubanks (Montrose, Alabama)

This process proved to be very effective in providing direction regarding my career and mission. She uses Scripture very effectively, applying it existentially, while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the Scriptures. My time with Dr. Diorio was like meeting Jesus at the well. It quenched my thirst and left me wanting more of Him. Thank you, Dr. Dioro, for being the Face of Grace in my life.” – Joe Ramos (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
