“Margit, I am so pleased with the huge change in Celeste’s attitude since you’ve been working with us. She seems so motivated and happy. She’s so much more calm, positive and thoughtful. You have a way of working with teens that is just so cool. It's like you speak their language, but at the same time are the adult, coaching them towards healthy young adulthood. My heart is singing, Margit! You are worth every penny!”    
   ~Ann A, Seattle (See her daughter's testimonial in the Teen section)

Being a single parent is confusing and tiring. I don't have time to read all the parenting books and I find myself copying what other parents do (the ones I think are good parents). It doesn't really work though. What I love about Margit is that she coaches MY family, not just any family. I don't have to wonder whether the techniques will work because we've worked together to figure out the best ones for us. Also, I always feel better after talking to Margit. She never makes me feel stupid or incompetent. She wants us to be happy as much as we do. She brings optimism and laughter to our family and I feel a lot of hope for my daughter's future and the future of our relationship.
   --Linda

When we first met Margit, our daughter refused to work with her. We were disappointed but Margit assured us that we could make progress even if our daughter didn't participate. We're in our 3rd month now. Our daughter doesn't lie anymore, she is more affectionate to us, and she doesn't fight with her sister anymore.

Another positive result is that our parenting is more in sync. Even more surprising is that we are stronger as a couple romantically, too. That makes both of us happier parents. We are very satisfied with our coaching. We give Margit our highest recommendation.
   --Laura and Neil

2. She truly cares about our family
3. My son loves her
Three things my son loves about Margit:
1. She’s easy to talk to
2. She’s funny
3. She’s interesting
   ~Lynn S, Puget Sound Parent,October 2008

Margit, I wasn't sure how I felt while I was filling out the initial survey, but once I spoke with you during my session, my eyes were opened. I noticed a change within a week. When I saw you that same week, you actually said that I looked like a changed person. I feel rejuvenated and the communication lines are open. I appreciate your help tremendously. With Many Thanks, Carole  (Parent Phone Consultation, February 2009)

My first hour with Margit was more revealing than a year of therapy!
  ~Nan W., Bellingham, January 2009 (Phone coaching)

I’ve worked with Margit and my high-energy 8-year-old on a couple of occasions, and those have made a big difference for our family.  Margit really understands kids and parents. She doesn’t expect us, as parents, to have all the answers, and she will never make you feel bad for finding the work of raising kids to be at times more than you can handle.

Instead, she offers careful observation and helpful, concrete tips that you can put to use immediately. In the months since we worked with her last, I have come to rely on the tools she’s provided. They help me keep my cool, and help me give my daughter the consistent structure she needs. It’s much better than the cycle of yelling and guilt that we all felt trapped in before.
 
~M.B., Seattle mom, December 2008

What is most wonderful about Margit is that my son thinks she’s okay. High praise, indeed, from a 14-year-old who’d really rather be playing baseball, texting his girlfriend or hanging with the guys, instead of driving with mom to visit Margit. And while Tommy doesn’t necessarily fall into either of Margit’s gifted teen or AD/HD specialties, we still benefit from her advice, her expectations of accountability, and her skill at removing the sense of isolation adults often feel while parenting teens. Margit doesn’t hesitate to tell me I’m wrong about something, which earns big points with my son and thus his cooperation. The opposite works as well – thank goodness! Consequently, both of us respect her and are confident she’ll level with us. We trust her. Knowing she is in our court is a huge weight off my shoulders, which frees me up to focus on my business, the rest of my family, and having fun with my son.
   ~Lori Zue Stevens www.LoriZueEdits.com

I so appreciate the care and concern you have given Ren the past 3 months and I also thank you for helping me to see how serious his school situation has been. I credit you with getting me out of the river of "denial" and into action mode. I feel empowered, to make a difference.
 
Thanks so much and may God bless you and your work.
   ~D.P., Bothell, WA, December 2008


In a brief meeting with Margit I was able to address some concerns about my 16 year old daughter.  I was feeling a bit frustrated that she has gotten lazy, and I wanted to know how to motivate her and not be a nag. Margit passed on some great advice. Thanks Margit, your practical advice goes a long way. 
   ~DeLynn Todaro www.maxcast.com/nuskin, September 2008

I talked to Margit for 50 minutes today to find out how to better support my son who has ADHD and low self-esteem. My husband and I are more and more drained the older he gets. Margit prepared me for the appt by emailing me a questionnaire to fill out. By the time of the appt she had suggestion after suggestion for me. She seemed to understand my son and us even though we've never talked before. She didn't waste any of the time. Every minute was dedicated to my family and I. I recommend calling Margit NOW.
   ~Patty, Sammamish, Washington, May 2008

I met Margit when my family was shattered. Friends repeatedly suggested that I call but I thought that if I waited, the problems would work themselves out. I wish I had called Margit sooner. We all could have been enjoying instead of resenting each other. I had sent my son to therapy for six months and nothing had changed, so I was apprehensive about our first coaching call but Margit eased my mind almost immediately and I felt so hopeful by the end of the session. During that call, Margit put her finger on all the problems and made suggestions that I could implement that week. Later she coached my son and I together so that we would be on the same page. He thinks she’s great. We get along much better, he feels good about himself, and it’s only been 3 months. Thanks Margit!
   ~Francine, Redmond, Washington (mother of Zach)

    ~Rob P., Miami, Florida

    Margit helped me understand the dynamic of stepping into a romantic relationship with a partner who has kids. Having no children of my own, her insights and guidance have been more than valuable. Margit brought my partner and me to a new sense of connection with teens. It's almost like she was one of them! She has a powerful gift of expressing what a teen doesn't, and/or what we are not hearing / understanding from them. Thank you Margit - you are a powerful coach! I would heartily recommend your services to anyone having difficulties with teens.
       ~Stéphanie E. Roh, Speaker, Author, Intimacy Mentor, www.Emerge-and-See.com, Calgary, AB - April 2, 2008

    What a pleasure to have you as my coach! You have been a great inspiration for me during this very challenging time of relating to my kids as I move into a new relationship. In such a short period of time, I've been able to move from a place of obligation to a place of power. Thank you for challenging me to see where I have contributed to the situation, but more so, helping me to make the necessary changes to get out of it and stay out it! You have a gift...thank you.
       ~Doug Lagore, Calgary, Alberta

    When Margit says she's a "child development specialist" she means it. Not only does she understand teens (gifted or otherwise) and their battle-weary parents, but also she gave me pointers on how to improve my parenting skills with my younger children so that I don't have to fight the same battle again when they hit their teens. If you have tried everything and are still unhappy, wave your white surrender flag and give Margit a call. 
       ~Sheila, White Rock, Canada

    My 7-year-old daughter has enough energy to power a jet. Margit Crane has helped me trim my child’s engines without extinguishing her spark. When I tried some of Margit’s straightforward, simple-to-implement tips, things got better at home right away. Margit gave the structure my daughter and I needed, and I’m grateful.
       ~Martha, Washington State, Summer, 2008


Margit is a blessing to our family. She understood us as parents and then she was able to listen attentively to our daughter and made her feel important and safe. My daughter actually came up with new rules for herself that first call! She said she could tell that she could say anything to Margit and trust her.  Margit is a mentor for our daughter and we feel very fortunate and very grateful.
   ~Susanna W.

I so appreciated Margit's expert insight regarding my six-year old daughter. Margit made me feel completely at ease and comfortable in sharing very sensitive situations. She is highly professional, yet warm and understanding, without judgment of any kind. She also went the extra mile in researching resources and approaches for my daughter's specific situation. Margit was extremely thorough, relevant, and helpful. After one session I am noticing progress in my daughter's self esteem and give credit to Margit's coaching.
 ~Pamela Jackson, www.TheGrowthCoach.com 


If you have never seen Margit Crane with a teen client, you are missing out. She is virtually a "Teen Whisperer." She knows how to prepare them for the first visit, she knows how to greet them (my 14-year old son was waving hello to her from the car even before he met her!), she knows how to speak to them, listen to them, put them at ease, read them like a book, joke with them, and get them to commit to actions that are fair for both them and for me, the parent. It's quite a remarkable experience. Thank you, Margit. I feel heard and valued as a parent. My son says, "Yeah, she's good. She's nice."
   ~Lisa S., Puget Sound Parent


Margit is a kind, compassionate coach, totally dedicated to inspiring and supporting families and kids to grow together in harmony and in love. She is unique in that she not only understands teens but she loves them and delights in what they have to offer the world at precisely this often painful time in their lives. She is playful and quirky, intuitive and real - a gift to big and little kids alike.                                                      
   ~Miriam Evers, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach and the Mother of Two Fabulous Teens


I had the privilege of coaching with Margit Crane. I was feeling stuck and frustrated with my relationship with my two children. Margit quickly helped me get to the nitty-gritty of the matter and, in doing so, I felt empowered to find solutions. Margit has a way of quickly ascertaining what's going on. She offered perspectives I needed to hear, suggestions that were right on and support that validated that I'm doing a lot of good with my kids, too. Margit was supportive in a non-judgmental way and reflected back to me the universal feelings we all share as Mothers. I highly recommend Margit to anyone wanting to improve familial relationships. Because of coaching with Margit, our family had a harmonious holiday season! 
   ~Colleen Haggerty, Life Coach, Washington


We started working with Margit when our son Robbie was in his last semester of high school. He had a bad case of “Senior-itis” and we were afraid that he wouldn't make it to graduation. Margit was so willing to listen to our fears and to inspire Robbie to graduate. Now that he's actually in college, he is doing well and we just want to express our gratefulness to Margit and her patient and wise coaching.
    ~Judy and Paul B, California   


Margit Crane is warm, intuitive & wise. I love her sense of humour. She is direct and honest and is deeply interested in her clients. She has guided me to a greater acceptance and appreciation of myself, and her love for my daughters showed up in her ability to instantly connect with them. Hire her for yourself or for your children!
   ~Rochelle, British Columbia


Margit Crane has a special gift for coaching young people.  She transcends generation gaps, and creates willingness in the most extraordinary ways. Her ability to communicate profoundly with younger generations creates an uncommon bridge to reach our children. I cannot imagine a greater gift to a struggling youth than to have Margit's mix of professional and deeply personal attention. She is full of life, love and compassion. My daughter and I love her sense of humour. Her spirit makes the world a better place and I am grateful in how we have grown through our affiliation with Margit. 
   ~Jean-Pierre LeBlanc, Relationship & Success Coach, Vancouver, Canada


Wow, Margit, you get to the heart of the matter time and time again! Your intuition is always bang on. And I love the way you can speak the truth to me so simply that I just embrace it. You get me results fast. I always feel so relieved and refreshed after I work with you; you help me find pieces of the puzzle that were hidden. Thank you.      
   ~Alice Brock, Shaman and Mom, Canada, www.alicebrockshaman.com


Margit Crane has the ability to listen with compassion and give gentle guidance in a way that enables a person to connect to their inner strength and thus walk through personal barriers to experience a fuller, richer life.
   ~Joanne, step-mother of two teens


Margit has a tremendous ability to connect with people. She thoroughly enjoys young people and delights them with her sense of humor and her easy-going manner. She is also very skilled at guiding them and holding them accountable. She has a great heart for people who are struggling to overcome personal issues and holds an immense amount of knowledge about ADD.
