"My time with Marla has been transformational since the very beginning. My sessions with her have sparked growth, unlocked creativity, inspired profound personal reflection, prompted periods of rapid action and, when needed, impelled deep rest. Marla has coached me through promotions and new roles, strategy pivots and restructures, wins and losses, performance highs and lows, periods of peak confidence and moments of self-doubt — you name it, Marla has guided me through it. My life is all the richer for it”

"I have had the joy and privilege of being coached and held by Marla Teyolia since 2017. She has become a deeply trusted advisor, who has supported me through multiple life and career transitions. She coached my all POC team, then I brought her to my then company, Facebook, where she guided the careers of dozens of leaders. She also was the coach at the center of a circle of care that I created with other senior Women of Color across multiple industries, and every single one of us emerged from that year fundamentally changed, and aligned with purpose. She is strategic, with impeccable insight into the complexities of navigating corporate spaces as free Women of Color. What is most compelling is that she centers her client as a whole person in her practice. The goal with me was never to help me climb a ladder to a future I didn’t want, but to be deeply present with myself, to be still enough to know mission, purpose, and to be brave enough to center wholeness and joy. Working with Marla is truly transformative, and she continues to be a source of care and intuitive guidance."

“Marla is magical! She held a leadership retreat for Alternate ROOTS and it had a major impact on our ability to lead our teams and communities. Her wit, wisdom, clarity, and graciousness combine to make her a very talented facilitator, negotiator, and coach. I highly recommend her to everyone looking to grow their confidence and capacity to lead!”

“If you are ready to do the work, answer the hard questions, be open to think and work differently and change your business and life for the better then you are in the right place. There is no way I would have thrived in 2020 when the Pandemic is devastating small businesses without the foundations, rituals and support of Marla.”

“Observing Marla’s ease as she guided Mindfulness Meditation was like watching an artist and healer all in one. She embodies the very practices she shares, inspiring self-compassion and an awareness of the interrelatedness of us all. I hope she will return soon.”
