"Cheryl helped me to get into the Private School of my choice. The first time I wrote the SSAT exam I was in the 30 percentile. I did not get accepted into boarding school and was so discouraged. I have ADD and have a hard time focusing but with Cheryl's help, we sat down and mapped out a plan to help get me organized, focused and manage my anxiety. 3 months later, I rewrote the exam and was in the 95 percentile. With Cheryl's guidance I was able to fulfill my dream and now I am on a much better academic path!"
- JJ, 15 yr old Student

"Cheryl was my first exposure to a Faster EFT practitioner session. After our initial consultation of my goal we set out to work. My mind led me to a surprising place of a two year old memory. With her guidance we continued to work on my little girl lifetime. More trapped memories revealed themselves and over a series of sessions, I emerged more whole and clear. A new path emerged for me which I am now embracing with exuberance. Cheryl will always hold a special place in my grateful heart."
- Carol Ann Arnim, Author, Certified FasterEFT Level II Practitioner, PEI
"Being comfortable is actually the scariest place. There is no growth there, no reason to go beyond and achieve something bigger, and there is no impetus to come to own who you really are. We can't realize the enormity of who we are and what we can contribute if we don't stretch ourselves and experience the unknown. Often times that seemingly comfortable place, is actually a denial of our discomfort in the comfortable known and familiar.
The little me today got a good dose of coaching that challenged her to let go of the familiar and turn to the commitments and dreams her big Me knows she is so capable and worthy of attaining. Thank you Cheryl Keates. if you need a good kick in the arse Cheryl is your life changer."
- Piera B, Homeopathic Doctor, Holistic Nutritionist
"...Those two hours with Cheryl were life changing for me. She shifted my negative outlook on my personal life into one of hope, with suggested strategies on how to turn my hope into reality. Am I completely re-engineered? Of course not. Did she enable me to make a significant shift? Absolutely. Did I decide to engage her for a few more sessions? Yes - because I realized that she has a gift. A gift of unleashing the hope within me for a more positive future and helping me to strategize how to get there..."
- Gloria G., Chartered Accountant
"When I came to Cheryl my life was in a state of disarray. I felt lost. I was filling my days with any nonsense that could distract me from how incredibly unhappy I truly was. I didn't know where to turn. I no longer felt fulfilled by my career or by my relationship. I was stuck. It is through her guidance and support that I have found the strength and energy to make positive changes in my life. She allowed me a place to express my feelings and needs without judgement, she gave me effective and useful feedback, and mostly importantly, she provided me with actionable steps that lead me to a place of true happiness. She is truly a gifted coach who cares deeply for her clients and provides results that can and will change their lives. Thank you Cheryl!"

She inspired me to take a deeper look at my abilities which has increased my awareness and confidence level tremendously.
I now have a clear sense of direction and am excited about future possiblilities."
- Kim Blundell, Interior Designer
"Cheryl has been my business coach now for about three months. During the initial consultation call, I felt an instant connection with Cheryl. She is experienced, straightforward, and energetic, and I was sure she had the missing pieces I needed to succeed.
As I look back over the past few months that we have been working together,I am thrilled to recognize the life that has been breathed into my dream.Cheryl's holistic approach addresses not just the superficial businessissues that need to be addressed, but also the underlying "stuck places" where my thought patterns and negative programming have been sabotaging my progress.
Cheryl's vast experience, down-to-earth style, creative (and challenging)exercises and homework, and ability to see right through my clouded vision,are working wonders for not just my business, but my life in general. As anintense (and sometimes overwhelmed) person, I especially appreciate herknack for finding the real issue beneath the presenting one. I admire herability to see right through my excuses and not give up the search until wehave found the real heart of the challenge at hand and I love that she is "one-stop shopping" for such a comprehensive list of supportive services.
I look forward to our continued work together. There is so much tobe done, but I now feel like I can tackle it all, one step at a time. I amconfident that my steps are all leading toward my newly rejuvenated goals. Ifeel understood, supported, and empowered by Cheryl. She is truly a blessing that appeared in my life at the perfect timing."

"Cheryl has helped me in so many ways that there are no words to fully express the gratitude I have for her and her work. A year ago I was stuck in a rut of not feeling good enough and insecure of what I wanted from life. Cheryl helped me focus in on my values and guided me to make conscious life changing decisions that I have not once regretted. Thank you for giving me the tools and "kick in the ass" to listen to my intuition and believe in myself. I wouldn't be where I am today without Cheryl."
- NS, 24 yr old University Graduate
"I started smoking over thirty years ago and have attempted to stop many times. You name it, I tried it - patches, pills, e-cigarettes, even going cold turkey but to no avail. I felt that I would always be a smoker until I had a session with Cheryl. I always thought I knew what the reason was for starting to smoke was, but through Cheryl’s careful and skilful approach she helped me to find the real cause. I felt that I had finally let go of what seemed like an unhealthy relationship, one that was controlling, manipulative and certainly dangerous.
I can honestly say that it feels like I’ve never smoked in the first instance - no cravings, no desire. I’m even able to observe others smoke without needing to be self righteous and judgmental. After all an addiction serves a purpose, one that I can finally say that I am free from. The most amazing part of all if that Cheryl was able to help me quit smoking in just one session!
I will always be truly grateful to Cheryl for her caring, non-judgmental and professional approach. Her attention to detail is second to none.If you have an addiction of any kind then I highly recommend contacting Cheryl, you won’t be disappointed."
- Tina B, Counsellor & Certified FEFT Level 1 Pracitioner, United Kingdom

While living through the toughest time of my life -- the ending of a 16-year marriage - I found the perfect guide in Cheryl Keates. As my life coach, Cheryl helped me uncover the strength I had buried and encouraged me to create a positive vision for my personal and professional future. In the eight months since I first started working with Cheryl, my business has had its best financial year, I have more work-life balance and I continue to move forward with clarity."
- K, Entrepreneur and Mother
"Self love is the most wondrous thing that I have ever discovered. Along the journey of healing and searching, here it was…inside of me this whole time; this ability to love myself. Years of thinking it just wasn’t possible. Here I am, loving me. I have no doubt in my mind that if it were not for Cheryl and FEFT, I would still be out there searching. My whole world has changed. The stories that I tell myself about life have been rewritten and have had light shine down upon them. My heart is open in gratitude for these fundamental changes that I have been able to make with Cheryl’s guidance. My time with her has been truly priceless. I thank her for not only helping me to find my voice, but for also helping me to find my freedom"
- Jayli Wolf, Actor, Singer, Songwriter
"I am so fortunate to have met Cheryl. She has a natural ability to help people see their strengths and enable them to see the power they have over their emotions and behaviors. One such example of this is my indescribable experience with FasterEFT with Cheryl. As a health professional myself, I have for years been wanting to eliminate smoking cigarettes out of my life, as the habit was inconsistent with the vision I had for my future. In a single session, I was able to uncover the driver that sparked the addiction, which to my surprise was not what I had originally pinned as the reason I started smoking. Essentially, FasterEFT helped me work through 17 years of my life in a little over an hour! I am so proud to say that I have not smoked since and do not look at cigarettes the same way. Thank you Cheryl for this transformative gift."
-Gina, Occupational Therapist
"Working with Cheryl in a FasterEFT session gave me results that I could never have imagined. She made connections that I couldn't see. Nor were these incredibly important connections seen or made in ten plus years of talk therapy. In that one session, two short hours, I shed a terror that in many ways weaved its reign unbeknown to me throughout my life, right to the present day. As I venture forward creating my best life I won't hesitate to connect with Cheryl to assist me in navigating those bumps in the road. Thank you Cheryl, you've given me back my true self."
- Rachel, Certified FEFT Level I Pracitioner & Infinite Possibilites Trainer
"I worked with Cheryl for a few months to help with insomnia, anxiety and stress. I was desperate for some type of help/release and after reading and exploring FEFT I decided to give it a try. From the moment I spoke with Cheryl, I felt at ease and loved her energy. During our sessions, she helped to identify patterns, traumas and events that were contributing to my state. Through tapping I was able to release many of the blocks holding me back. Cheryl always provided me with tools to move forward, pushed me out of my comfort zones (which I desperately needed) and reinforced that "you are always in choice". Cheryl is an amazing person who is incredibly passionate about what she does. She truly cares for and wants the best for her clients which was evident in every session. Her background, experience, sense of humour and big heart make her one of a kind!"
- C. Garner, Education Adminstrator
Cheryl has been my coach for over 2 years.
I have had the privilege of experiencing the benefits of a trusted long-term relationship with a life & business coach that has changed my life in all the positive ways.
Cheryl listened, comforted, pushed, healed and coached me while I was going through various life problems.
She helped me to let-go of dysfunctional beliefs and old relationships which allowed me to move-on to a healthier and happier relationship with myself. She uplifted me when I was laid off from my full-time job; then she coached me through establishing my own business. She helped me set my business goals and plan. She coached me in finding my authentic voice to market my business and get comfortable networking… She built me a personalized roadmap that I could follow.
When I encountered inner resistance, or depression she used the FEFT technique to find and solve what was holding me back. She healed past emotional traumas, feelings of sadness, abandonment, fear, guilt, abuse, shame, anger, worthlessness.
I would not be exaggerating when I say I am a happier person because of her today. Her compassion, guidance and contribution to my life is more than I can put into words.
