Tomi has helped me change my life in ways I could not have done on my own. He has helped me professionally, with my personal business, my finances, my social life, relationships, with health and fitness, and my psychological challenges. I know what I want to accomplish, but Tomi set things out with tangible goals for 3 months, with each week having its own goals. This has been an important tool for me to use alone, and while I have his help, he keeps me accountable to them on top of that. The biggest thing he has helped me with is fundamentally shifting my perspective in how I see myself, equip myself, and live my life. I thought being hard on myself was the way I'd accomplish what I want in life, but it was the key to what was hindering me. I've been comparing myself to my ideals rather than who I am now, and seeing things as problems rather than challenges. Tomi asks me what I've accomplished in a week or in a day, and with that tool he's given me, what even seems like failures become successes in learning about myself and making changes, and seeing things as stepping stones. When I address challenges in this way, I've adapted rather than feeling like I'm staying in place or going backwards. Tomi was a great choice from the beginning. I did introductory sessions with five other life coaches, and he was the only one who I felt helped me during the session, and listened and didn't sell himself and spend time going through his methods. Tomi doesn't act like he's an expert on you either - he gives you the steering wheel, but also asks you questions to find clarity and keep yourself honest about where you want to steer things. I have so many challenges, he has helped me more and more with all of them, and it's only the beginning. I was hesitant at first, but it's been worth everything I've spent, and will in the future. If you want to improve your life in a way that you will only live once, then I certainly recommend Tomi. More...

I feel very fortunate to have come across Tomi. Since our first conversation, Tomi has been a tremendous support. I am in a period of transition and trying to figure out what the next step in my professional career is. He’s been providing me concise feedback, along with actionable steps to work through this process. It truly feels like he’s committed to the success of his clients and will go above and beyond to support in any way he can. More...

I worked with Tomi for a year when I was a sales team member while Tomi lead the company's marketing and sales team.
Tomi is a very talented and intelligent person. He is diligent, meticulous and passionate about what he does. Very sensitive to the needs of others knows how to say the right thing at the right moment to get people motivated & excited. Tomi was very good with people and communicated empathetically and effectively with customers. Whenever I had a small conflict with a customer, Tomi was a true problem-solver and knew how to read the situation and got both me and the customer satisfied and happy. Tomi always looks at the bigger picture while also attending to the smaller details.
Tomi is simply a great mentor and leader. Patient, a great listener and has a unique way of guiding you by getting YOU to think, explore and expand your options. His honesty and integrity lead his decision-making process and it's an inspiring thing to see. It was a great experience working with Tomi and I would like to recommend him for his great abilities to work with people and get them motivated and active to get their projects up and running!

Tomi – you didn’t give in to my moments of frustration. You got me to deal with my challenges in my life and bravely face them head on. Slowly but surely things started to change I gained newly discovered self-confidence, found a job I love and improved many of my relationships. I’m shocked even as I am writing this down that I achieved all these things in our short work together.
You helped me rediscover myself and the things I love! I went back to writing, drawing, and dancing! thank you for the process of getting to know myself again. It is priceless.
I’ve been able to see through you who I really am and who I want to be. I became a more optimistic person, less worried about what others may say or think. I learned to accept and love myself.
You opened my eyes!

Tomi put me on a path of finding, not only a job, but my career path. I started out with a million questions and Tom kept “reeling me in” and guided me to a more clear and fulfilling path. He helped me understand characteristics about myself I wasn't aware of. He is patient, eloquent, understanding, and produces results. I highly recommend him!! More...

20 March 2024

In the time that I have spent with Tomi I have come to learn more about myself than I ever expected to. Tomi is very personal, understanding, and charismatic in his approach to challenge you to find the answers that you are looking for. I strongly recommend sharing with Tomi because you will definitely come out of it with a mindset that can not only better yourself, but better those around you as well. More...

Tomi is an amazing coach with a knack for polishing your strengths and elevating areas for improvement. The concrete steps we took helped push me forward when I was in a bit of a rut. Tomi worked with me on scaling & revising my resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, sharpening my interview skills, and setting focused goals. After a few sessions with Tomi, I now speak more clearly and learn how to focus during an interview as well as tell a real-life story to illustrate my strengths. We were also working on other related topics – such as problem-solving techniques and better time management (I now have blocks of time dedicated to myself 😊). He is an active listener and genuinely a positive person looking to ensure his clients' best outcome (along with having a fair price). Anybody would be lucky to work with him - I recommend him wholeheartedly. More...

I started with Tomi a few months ago and came to him with financial, career and family issues of which I just couldn’t balance. With covid, a new job and other stressors, I knew I needed help. Tomi came into my life and has been a savior! We have been working on having a better work-life balance, prioritizing and getting my financial house in order. I can't thank him enough for what he has helped me see already and the progress we are making! 5 star coach! More...

I have been working with Coach Tomi for the past 6 weeks and it has been life changing. I came to him in the middle of a very challenging personal struggle that was causing me tremendous pain. I had very little confidence, low self-esteem and worried constantly about my future prospects. Coach Tomi has an incredible ability to get to the heart of any issue and work on practical solutions in his gentle-fun loving way. I leave all of our sessions feeling genuinely better and optimistic about myself and the future. Each week we come up with items to be accomplished before our next session, this keeps me on track, and I can see in real time that our work together is making a difference. I am confident that you are in great hands in working with coach Tomi and will be on the path to great progress. I strongly recommend working with Coach Tomi! More...

It has been almost a year since I worked with Coach Tomi. He has made such a huge improvement on my life! He helped me with many different complex things going on in my life and truly helped me understand and most importantly love myself. I set many goals with him and am proud to say I reached them! I have implemented many changes in my life and have stuck to them. Tomi is a brilliant coach and a deep thinker with much to offer! If you are browsing coaches look no further, he is the one!!! I think of him often and wish him and all of his clients all the success in the world!!! ❤️❤️❤️ More...

Thank you, Tomi! My name is David and I own a business as a personal chef in NYC. Ever since I started working with Tomi, my confidence grew tremendously, I now believe in myself much more and set clear, realistic goals for my business and my personal life. Tomi helped me in a way I can’t thank him enough. When we started, I usually had one booked event per week, we moved it up to 2-3, and now I am at 3-4 events per week - every week ! I am so happy I decided to work with him!! More...

20 March 2024

Tomi has a unique combination of positive get-it-done energy, empathy, and a warm trustworthy spirit that create the perfect conditions for the deep explorative work of coaching. I had been thinking of working with a coach again to help me sharpen my focus on what matters most to my business in these times, and to share my experience and models more publicly through video and writing. When I met Tomi, I could tell that his warmth and action orientation would be a great match for me. We’ve worked together for three months, and I have already made significant changes in how I manage my time, and how I am able to focus on my business. I feel Tomi’s presence and strong support every step of the way. He is simply a terrific coach, and backs that up with years of business experience and personal growth that help him show up with full energetic authenticity. He would be a perfect match for anyone wanting to energize their business and their lives. More...

I’m a New York City attorney and I did a lot of research before choosing Tomi. He’s very sharp, detailed and goal orientated. He’s not there to be silent and listen to all of your problems. You have friends, family and therapists for that. He’s there to aid you in achieving specific goals, no matter how monumental. It’s really an invaluable skill. More...

20 March 2024

Tomi is a wonderful person and a brilliant coach, with great skills and intuition. He led me to a better quality of life in my relationship. I received guidance, tasks and had many epiphanies throughout our work together. Personal growth is Tomi’s 2nd nature so if you want to change or transform your life this is the person to go to. More...

I finally felt a real connection with a coach. Tomi is professional, attentive and focused. He really cares about his clients, helped me to step up my career (both position and salary) – he does not give up until you reach your goal. I recommend him with much love.

20 March 2024

Hi, I must say that Tomi brings to the conversation a vast combination of creative problem solving, sensitive but also straight no nonsense direction to really see your positive characteristics and not blame only yourself - but see a balanced truth! Tomi and I met for an initial consultation, he didn't just hear me but listened and went over with me on my debates, aches, desires and goals and helped me break them down to smaller biteable pieces so I could clearly understand what I wanted and how to get there. Breaking it down into small achievable targets made it seem real and possible and I even took action on our first meeting after the consultation which made me feel good and more confident. He was awesome at not judging and would stop me whenever I was too harsh on myself or moved apart from my actual goal. This helped me eventually to move away from the "crying", complaining mindset to taking real action, every single week! Tomi called me out on my excuses, didn’t judge me (for making the same mistakes/choices repeatedly) and was there for me whenever needed. His support, ideas and positive attitude pushed me to make several successful decisions. I would recommend him to my friends or colleagues who have a hump or even a larger problem to get over or just need a third party, non-partisan view on what is going on in his/her life. Tomi offers alternatives, and lets you make your own healthier choices. After seeing Tomi a few times I made two big life changes: First, became calmer in my relationship by working on my communication skills with my significant other and second leaving an unfaithful friendship with people that I thought were my true friends - both of which I wanted to do for a long long time but lacked the motivation or courage to do so. Tomi helped me to clarify my goals and to take action on them. He will help you as well, of that I am sure! More...

Tomi has been an incredible life coach during the Covid 19 lockdown for me. Self-quarantining has been tough but a great time for personal reflection. As such, Tomi has helped me shape realistic personal goals around personal relationship/network development skills and health improvement strategies. I admire Tomi's discipline in keeping focus as I tend to go down many different rabbit holes that steer away from my intended goals. He is easy to communicate with and he puts you at ease with his constant smile. He is a great listener and does an effective job at summarizing our discussion highlights, progress toward goals, at the conclusion of every session. And, he always keeps an eye on progress and ensures that our next sessions are productive and meaningful. He is not bashful to give out homework on occasion. Looking forward to getting to visit with him in person once the quarantining has been lifted here in NYC. Until then, we will continue to move forward in the "virtual zoom state." I highly recommend him. John More...

Going on too my 4th week working with Tomi has been a God send I’m learning more about myself including how to tackle procrastination head on already now I’m more involved on my business and going forward with my goals it seems I have one regret. My one regret is not doing this sooner. More...

Tomi is an excellent coach! I got a lot of added value from him and most of all the understanding that everything depends on me and no one else. With Tomi I made far-reaching changes in diet and exercise. After a long period of not moving too much I started walking 45 minutes three times a week, I also began eating healthier (2 salads a day) and even began cooking for myself!!! Tomi encouraged me to connect with new people - something I was very apprehensive to do because of the social anxiety I suffered from, and which has improved dramatically after working with Tomi. Thank you for your time! It was very meaningful to me. More...

19 March 2024

I came to Tomi with an inner voice that for years has convinced me that I wasn’t enough and that others were better and smarter than me. During our work together I regained my confidence in myself, my abilities and worth! I even allowed myself to start dreaming and began to strive higher than I ever dared before.
Tomi is focused on the present -knows how to encapsulate a whole story into one sentence which helped me better understand myself and focus on what really matters.
Don’t go – RUN to him.

Coach Tomi has helped find focus, get through hurdles in finding confidence, and getting a job during the pandemic. I could not have gotten through this without him!

19 March 2024

Tomi helped me come up with concrete steps to identify my goals and take the steps to achieve them. I credit Tomi with many positive changes in my life, but most importantly, I am now a happier, more confident person.

Tomi is patient, intuitive, wise and always provides calm energy. He listens deeply and observes, then illuminates what lies beneath the surface. He gave me practical steps to help me get to where I want to be.

Q&As

Following my intuition and growing confidence in myself many years ago, that I have a gift -and want to share it with as many people as I can!

Coaching for me is much more than my job - it's my life. It's my calling! I absolutely LOVE what I do. I was "lucky" enough to go through some challenging times which brought me to coaching and to the understanding that my life is completely in MY hands. Today, I fully understand that what I want and believe for myself is the life that I will have. My clients and I are living proof of that. I am honored to be able to assist others in finding their confidence and creating a NEW internal self-positive talk. I help people shine a light on the challenging spaces within and assist them to take action to actively change their lives so they are happier and more fulfilled.

If you want to see how that looks like for my clients I recommend reading my client's recommendations. It will give you a good sense of the transformation you can expect in your life!

Yes! I work via zoom mostly, but also have done phone calls when we didn't have enough web bandwidth when my clients were traveling or our of service. I am here for you in whatever way that works for us (in person, video or phone).

I offer my clients remote coaching sessions and it has been a huge success! It allows people to meet from the comfort of their home, or coffee house, or a walk in the park. It's flexible, easy and can be done from anywhere!
