I asked a few clients if they would feel comfortable answering some interview questions. The interview questions came from a local agency, trying to gather information on Wellness businesses. Both the clients, and the agency, thought these should be shared. Thanks to all who participated!!!
Diana ~ Interview ~ Leaping Lotus Wellness Studio/Lina Carpenito 1. What was your most painful problem before you met Lina? Before meeting Lina, I always struggled with sticking to any weight loss/wellness program. I would yo-yo constantly and try every quick fix I could. Lina showed me that it's a journey, a lifestyle, with ups and downs, and that once you get your mindset in the right place, that's when true physical change starts--and sticks! 2. What results have you gotten since working with Lina? My work with Lina has made me stronger and more flexible, both physically and mentally. I've gained confidence and healed emotional wounds that were barriers to me feeling better and getting healthier. I've also gained an increased awareness of my body and knowledge of how to listen to and nurture it. 3. Has it been a transformational experience? YES! The person I was almost a decade ago, when I first met and started working with Lina, is so vastly different from the person I am today. 4. What kept you from seeking a solution to your problem in the past? I was afraid of judgment. But Lina makes every coaching/training experience you have with her a total safe space. She makes you feel completely comfortable to let your guard down. 5. What do you love most about working with Lina? I love everything about working with Lina, haha, but I think my favorite thing is how she tailors every session to exactly what you need. There's no agenda. She just listens to you and creates a coaching/fitness experience based on your needs that very day. Sometimes, I would arrive to my session with her all aggravated/frustrated about something at work, and she would say, okay, today, we're going to move that energy out of you and have a 90s hip hop dance party. Other times, I would arrive to my session drained and exhausted, and she would immediately dim the lights, put on some calming music, and we'd do a yoga and meditation session. She is so in tune with her clients and so nimble in her approach, making her a true pro, in my opinion. 6. Why would you recommend Lina's services to someone who might be on the fence with seeking a coach? You have absolutely nothing to lose -- do a trial session and see for yourself! 7. What is your single greatest take away from your experience with Lina? Disease is really "dis-ease" in the body -- your cells react to your emotions and inner dialogue. Loving yourself and learning to let go of stress are the biggest steps you can take toward healing any physical ailments! 8. Is there anything else you want to add? Lina is one of the most loving, nurturing, patient people I have ever met and her coaching is a gift to the world!
James ~ Interview ~ Leaping Lotus Wellness Studio/Lina Carpenito
1. What was your painful problem before you met with Lina?
Before I met with Lina, I was struggling with alcoholism and rheumatoid arthritis. I felt hopeless and depressed, and I couldn’t cope with the pain and inflammation in my joints. I was drinking every day to numb the pain, but it only made things worse. I lost my relationships with family, friends and my self-esteem. I felt like I had no purpose or direction in life.
2. What results have you gotten since working with Lina?
Since working with Lina, I have made amazing progress in my recovery and personal growth. Lina helped me identify the root causes of my alcoholism and arthritis, and taught me how to heal them with self-exploration techniques. I learned how to manage my emotions, release negative beliefs, and create positive habits. I also learned how to take better care of my physical health, by following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and taking natural supplements. I have joined AA and I’m proud to say I’m 21 months sober, and my arthritis symptoms have improved a lot. I feel happier, healthier, and more confident than ever before. I have regained my passion and motivation for life.
3. Has it been transformational experience?
Absolutely, it has been a transformational experience for me. Lina helped me change my mindset, my behavior, and my lifestyle. I have become a new person, with a new outlook and a new energy. I have discovered my true self, my strengths, and my potential. I have overcome my challenges, and achieved my goals. I have created a life that I love, and that aligns with my values and purpose. I am so grateful for Lina and the coaching sessions. They have changed my life for the better.
4. What kept you from seeking a solution to your problems in the past?
In the past, I was afraid to seek a solution to my problems. I was in denial, and I didn’t want to admit that I had a problem. I thought that I could handle it on my own, or that it would go away eventually. I was also ashamed, and I didn’t want to ask for help. I thought that people would judge me, or that I would be seen as weak or flawed. I was also skeptical, and I didn’t believe that there was a solution that could work for me. I thought that nothing could change my situation, or that it was too late for me.
5. What do you love the most about working with Lina?
What I love the most about working with Lina is the support, guidance, and encouragement that I receive. She is always there for me, listening to me, understanding me, and empowering me. Lina is not only a professional, but also a friend, a mentor, and a role model. Lina inspires me, challenges me, and celebrates me. She makes me feel valued, respected, and appreciated. She helps me grow, learn, and succeed. Lina is the best thing that ever happened to me.
6. Why would you recommend Lina to someone who might be on the fence with seeking a coach?
I would recommend Lina to anyone who might be on the fence with seeking a coach, because the coach can help you achieve amazing results that you might not be able to achieve on your own. Lina can help you overcome your fears, doubts, and obstacles, and help you find your solutions, strategies, and actions. She can help you discover your vision, goals, and plans, and help you make them happen. She can help you unlock your potential, unleash your power, and live your dreams. Lina can help you transform your life in ways that you never imagined. Trust me, it’s worth it.
7. What is your greatest take away from your experience with Lina?
My greatest take away from my experience with Lina is that I have the power to change my life. I have learned that I am not a victim of my circumstances, but a creator of my reality. I have learned that I have the choice, the responsibility, and the ability to shape my destiny. I have learned that I have the resources, the skills, and the tools to solve my problems and achieve my goals. I have learned that I have the courage, the confidence, and the charisma to express myself and connect with others. I have learned that I have the passion, the purpose, and the potential to fulfill my dreams. I have learned that I have the power to change my life.
8. Is there anything you want to add?
I just want to say thank you to Lina for everything. Thank you for being there for me, for believing in me, and for helping me. Thank you for your wisdom, your kindness, and your generosity. Thank you for your patience, your compassion, and your humor. Thank you for your professionalism, your integrity, and your excellence.
