Testimonials

Coach Cherie was such an important part of my healing. She created a safe space where I could begin finding my way back to myself, more deeply than I ever imagined. Layer by layer, we gently uncovered the parts of me that had been hidden after a lifetime of being disconnected from myself. With her steady presence and open heart, I was finally able to come home to who I really am. I can truly say that I’m happy, whole, and living a life that feels aligned with my most authentic self, and Coach Cherie walked beside me every step of the way.

Coach Cherie has radically changed my life. Her guidance has helped me shift deeply rooted irrational beliefs and step into an entirely new mindset. Because of her, I’m more emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and confident than I’ve ever been. She’s supported me through career growth, medical challenges, and the everyday stresses of life — always with deep compassion and unwavering belief in who I could become. Working with her has been one of the most meaningful decisions I’ve ever made. I’m so grateful for her presence, her wisdom, and the way she helps me keep growing into the best version of myself.

I’ve known and worked with Coach Cherie for a few years. When my mind was in turmoil and I struggled to make decisions, Coach Cherie guided me through shifting my thoughts, one at a time. With her guidance, along with my own efforts to reset my brain, I feel more grounded today. 

As a team member under Coach Cherie, my objectives were to regain my agency and develop self-regulation skills. I’ve mostly achieved these goals. I continue to work with Coach Cherie and seek additional coaching when needed, although less frequently. That’s the ultimate goal! I highly recommend coaching with Cherie Black.

Working with Cherie has honestly been life-changing. She just gets people. With all her experience in psychology and education, she knows how to really listen and guide you in a way that feels supportive, not pushy. You never feel judged—just understood.

What I love most is how she helps you see your own strengths, even when you can’t. She’s helped me find clarity, let go of old patterns, and move forward feeling more like myself. Her coaching isn’t just helpful—it’s empowering.

If you’re feeling stuck or just need someone wise in your corner, I highly recommend Freedom To Be Coaching. You’ll be so glad you reached out.

Cherie and I started working together a few years ago. What would have taken years of talk therapy, we were often able to resolve with one to few sessions. In identifying what it is you don’t want, teaches you to shift those limiting beliefs into those we prefer. Working with Cherie has helped me to work through so many unresolved issues that were limiting my growth.
