“Author and Coach Toby Neal is absolutely incredible. She has done so many things for me. Not only has she helped me to improve my writing, improve my research skills, increase my knowledge of marketing and connected me to powerful resources, but she cheered me on, helped my self-esteem and gave me strategies to help me develop into a better, more empowered woman, wife, mother, and writer.”
“Leads by example with gentle but firm encouragement.”
“Toby got to the source of what was causing deep anxiety in the first session, and the tools and words she gave me to work through it afterword have been life-changing. Her coaching helped me make some massive shifts in my wellbeing and creative business in just a couple of months. Working with Toby was the best thing I did for myself this year!”
