“I am plastered on the front of a steam engine flying forward at 100 miles an hour!”
Zoe has helped me transform my life. In just seven months, I went from being in a dead-end depressing job that was making me miserable and in a state of paralysis about making steps to start a family, to feeling like I am plastered on the front of a steam engine flying forward at 100 miles an hour! I am now starting my own business and am closer to becoming a parent. Zoe helped me every step of the way, through practical guidance in helping me leave my job and advice for starting my business as well as emotional support and tools to help me move through being stuck in a place of anxiety. Whatever happens, I am moving forward very fast – it’s completely exhilarating!

“Leaps of progress in my business; firmly grounded in my vision and authentic self.”
When I started working with Zoe I was looking for a stronger and more open connection with my authentic inner voice during a period of great transition in my life and career. As a result of working with Zoe, I feel confidently grounded in who I am and what I’m creating in the world. I am so happy with the leaps of progress I’ve made in my business during the last 6 months, as well as the feeling of now being firmly grounded in my vision and my authentic self. Building this strong foundation while coaching with Zoe is what I need to continue on my path and go out in the world in a much more public way with ease and confidence. My favorite thing about coaching with Zoe is her deep and wide range which she always uses to be right with me in the many ways I show up. No matter what I brought to the table during our sessions, she was there with enormous depth, caring and skill. For that I am so GRATEFUL! I recommend coaching with Zoe to anyone who is wanting a deeper connection with their own truth. You will get that by working with Zoe, along with magical and practical ways of applying it to your business, work, relationships, and who you want to be in the world.

“I am now living my dream, doing exactly what I love, finding success in it, and feeling deeply fulfilled.”
My first session with Zoë deeply changed the trajectory of my life and career. In this session, Zoë helped me to quickly get to the core of what I really was wanting and what was holding me back from getting it. She did this mainly by offering very skillful and evocative questions, not by telling me what she thought I should do. This allowed me to see through my own words the dreams, passions, and unique talents that were living half-asleep within me. I would say that this is what Zoë is…a really powerful and loving alarm clock, waking you up to live the life you were only dreaming of. Of course, my session wasn’t all questions. Zoë has a large toolbox full of fun, crafty and surprising ways to draw out of you what is really important. She is able to scout the path with you, so that you don’t feel alone and overwhelmed. Yet she also can intuitively sense the lessons you must go through to reach the next level of your journey, and she makes sure you step up to the plate. Zoë has her expertise in Spiritual and Business Coaching, and this is exactly what I was looking for. I was really needing to find a way to bring my total self (very spiritual) into my professional career (starting my own business). Only a year later, I am now living my dream, doing exactly what I love, finding success in it, and feeling deeply fulfilled. Since my first session, I have referred friends, family, and colleagues to her, and all that take up the offer come back with raving revues.

“One of the top three experiences of my life!”
This morning I was just bubbling over; I still can’t believe what happened. I’ve paid good money and I’ve traveled to far away places to have what I call a “direct experience” through shamanic journies. I have sat in a room for 5 days with someone asking me over and over “tell me who you are,” TWICE. And I never got that “direct experience” until it happened yesterday, in our session. Afterwards, I could look at every single person and realize that there was no separation, no delineation. It’s just all One. I had known this logically before, but when I got inside of it and felt it with every single cell and part of my soul…the whole universe unfolded in that moment. I was able to see it, and to see how I separate myself: the lonliness, the pain, the ways I numb out, all the yucky bits, and how this is effortless, the state of just being. Thank you so much, Zoe. This was so unexpected and such a gift. Our session was one of the top three experiences of my life, maybe even the top. You were there without trying to change me, without having an agenda or needing to fix me. You saw my perfection, so I could see it, too.
~Christina Martin, Owner Tao to Wellness
“The insights gained from our time together have allowed me to become more at home in myself and in the world.”
Working with Zoë over the last four months has been an amazing, life-changing experience. With her clarity of vision and deeply empathic guidance, I’ve been able to move quickly into a new mental state of calm and quiet. More often than not, I can now see the answer to a certain problem shining underneath the chaos of fear and excessive thinking. With Zoë I’m never afraid to speak my mind. With her encouragement I’m learning how to speak from my heart. The insights gained from our time together have allowed me to become more at home in myself and in the world. Through our wonderful dialogue each week, I’m finding out how to be present for the wonderful surprises that are constantly arising. For most of my life I’ve struggled with the idea that true fulfillment and “real life” could not be brought into harmony until a “better time”. Lately, I’m experiencing the truth that NOW is the best time and that the harmony I’ve been chasing after is not only possible, it’s already here.

“Whatever kind of change you’re looking for in your life, call Zoe. You will be amazed by the way that working with her brings out the best in you.”
I never saw myself as the type of person to work with a life coach, but whatever misgivings or misconceptions I had about that completely dissolved after the first time I spoke to Zoe. With directness, honesty, humor and genuine enthusiasm for my life goals and values, Zoe has enabled me to see what has been preventing me from making the leap between my dreams and my reality. After every session with her, I feel a renewed excitement and energy for my life direction, and–better still–I have a concrete list of things I can do to move in that direction. Zoe has helped me to be accountable to myself and commit to my life more fully. Maybe the best thing about working with her, though, is the way she has made accomplishing this important life work so much fun. Since we first started working together, I have made several major changes in my personal and professional life, and each time Zoe has helped me not only to clarify the steps I wanted to take but to realize that I have the both the courage and the resources to make those changes. Whatever kind of change you’re looking for in your life, call Zoe. You will be amazed by the way that working with her brings out the best in you.”

“I now know myself inside and out, feel amazing, intelligent, and know how to listen to my heart and gut.”
Zoë’s presence in my life was the most precious addition to the amalgamation of personal growth I undertook in the last year. Six months ago, I was miserable and stuck in a career I hated. I didn’t know who I was or like myself very much, and I had no clear plans for my future. In our powerful sessions, I learned to delve into myself and find understanding and wisdom. Oftentimes I processed almost more than could handle, and was so inspired that I was left with a huge amount of energy afterward, like nothing I’d ever experienced before! Her untamable authenticity and fervent enthusiasm in getting me to realize my full potential was amazing. On this day, only six months later, I am a completely different person from the faithless, fearful person I was without her benefit. I now know myself inside and out, feel amazing, intelligent, and know how to listen to my heart and gut. I am confident, in control, and notice that people look up to me. I can’t express how excited I am about my life, and I am about to set off on an adventure I have longed to for years. Thank you, Zoë!

“The straightforward and elegant tools she’s offered continue to produce enormous change for me.”
Working with Zoe has been a remarkable experience—deep, powerful, effective and surprising. I experience a shift every session! It was surprising in that, in addition to her ability to fully address any conflict or issue I am facing, we really have a lot of fun. She takes huge delight in her work and has a great sense of humor that really underscores even our most difficult sessions. Not that she pulls her punches—she’s not afraid to dive deeply into the heart of the matter. In fact, I’d say she’s pretty fearless and asks me to find that fearlessness in myself. From our earliest sessions, I felt Zoe really got where I was coming from and met me there. The straightforward and elegant tools she’s offered continue to produce enormous change for me. I find myself practicing Zoe’s wisdom and insight without even realizing I am doing it. Her extraordinarily intuitive presence (even in sessions by phone) is always just very, very inspiring. My work with her has been a huge catalyst in my life; she is helping me cultivate the instinct for happiness.
~ Stephen Pelton, Choreographer and Teacher
“By ourselves, we are floating down a lazy river towards what we want, but with coaching from Zoe we are traveling in a rocket.“
What I love about Zoe is her love for her clients. She does whatever is needed in every moment and it’s all very much rooted in love. Zoe is no pussycat. She gives kindness when kindness is due, but she has no problem being a spotless mirror that forces you to see what you need to. Zoe will never pull a punch because she believes in the people she works with. She is dedicated to her clients being their best selves and has no patience if you’re not bringing that same passion. She will give you the best coaching you could possibly receive if you’re willing to receive it. It really comes from love.
I have been coached by over 50 people and Zoe gave me the most powerful and needed coaching I have ever received. Without Zoe’s coaching, I wouldn’t be the person I am right now. We are constantly growing and evolving, but Zoe shows her clients that there is no time to waste. By ourselves, we are floating down a lazy river towards what we want, but with coaching from Zoe we are traveling in a rocket.
~ Aaron Steinberg, Executive Director of a nonprofit
“I FINALLY see opportunities again and am moving forward with an optimism and level of positive energy that was simply absent prior to working with Zoe.”
I was mired in a veritable quagmire of professional frustration. As a small business owner, I had worked long and hard for years to build something and found myself in a space where I simply didn’t know where I wanted to go anymore. Rather than seeing opportunities, I simply saw limitations. Rather than recognizing the power of what I had built, I only saw my flaws and shortcomings. Zoe changed all of that.
Zoe provided a perspective that I desperately needed. I needed someone like Zoe to illuminate the power of what I had created and see the possibilities that were right there in front of me. I needed someone to help break me out of the self-critical, cyclical thoughts that were simply preventing from moving in a positive direction. Zoe was a huge catalyst for doing this.
I don’t have all the answers (and never will), but I FINALLY see opportunities again and am moving forward with an optimism and level of positive energy that was simply absent prior to working with Zoe. I am excited once again about my business and the myriad opportunities that are out there for me. I have Zoe to thank for seeing things in a new light.

”She is a genuinely happy person who wants to share how she got there and wants to help get you and me get there too!”
Zoë has been my ally, my support system to remind me of what I wanted, a sounding board when I let fear get in the way, guidance when I was open to it. She has had faith in me when I felt weak. Zoë walks her talk! She is a genuinely happy person who wants to share how she got there and wants to help get you and me get there too! She is continually learning and searching ways to be of help and of service. She is creative in her approach, generous and energetic. Zoë knows the goodness in us and finds ways for us to find our own mirror to this fact. Zoë is an amazing coach to work with. She has lots of love, support and ideas to help peel the layers away to know the clarity that is there if only we have the support system to see it.
I was very hesitant for many reasons to have a life coach thinking that I just needed to do this, and I just needed to do that…I know what I need to do, I just need to do it… right!? But what I really needed was a sounding board and someone to be accountable to. I’m so grateful that I found Zoë!
In my experience: The benefits of a great coach happen when I allow myself to truly hear back what I have said. Zoë does this. She listens deeply and she remembers what it is I said I wanted, then she reminds me of it when fear starts to peak up. Zoë is then a strong sounding board…sometimes reminding me over and over again of what I said I wanted for my life. For a while it seemed I forgot this every session, but Zoë didn’t. This is what helped me.
When we first started working together she asked me what I wanted, and I’m joyous to say that I am well on my way there…I never thought it possible…and Zoë has been there with encouragement and smiles all the way!
I recommend Zoë with all my heart.
~ Nicole, 32, Visual Artist
It’s just fun to work with such a supportive, well-informed, talented and positive woman.
I began working with Zoe to build my business, only to discover that not only was I not behind myself in the business but I also had no foundation on which to build. After throwing her many curve balls and likely testing her patience, Zoe helped me to uncover the REAL work that I needed to do to get that foundation on which to build that business that I’m now truly excited about! Plus, it’s just fun to work with such a supportive, well-informed, talented and positive woman like Zoe- she’s so inspiring!
Julie, Personal Concierge
”Zoe is one of the most intuitive and vibrant coaches I have ever known.”
Zoe is one of the most intuitive and vibrant coaches I have ever known (and as a professional coach, I have come across lots of other coaches). As someone who has both observed and received her coaching many times, I have been repeatedly impressed with her energy and passion on one hand, and the effectiveness of her coaching on the other. As I have in the past — with my own personal friend — I wholeheartedly recommend Zoe as a coach.
~ Zack, 45, Professional Life Coach
“It feels great having a clear idea of what I want out of life!”
I came to Zoë for help getting out of a rut and figuring out what to do with the rest of my life. After just a few sessions, I’m more productive in my current job, and I’ve narrowed down exactly what’s most important for me moving on. Throughout, Zoë has been a fierce, no-nonsense advocate for whatever would serve me best. She’s intuitive, open, adaptable, and fun. And it feels great having a clear idea of what I want out of life!
~ Jason C, 39, Instructional Designer
”I’m really starting to be the person I want to be.”
Working with Zoë is inspiring. She reminds me of my own values and priorities and reflects them back so clearly and simply that it seems impossible for me not to follow a path that is in line with what I most believe in. At the same time, she brings to our sessions a sense of playfulness and joy, and she encourages me to do things for the joy of doing them. What I feel makes Zoe such an effective coach is her sincere investment in and genuine care for her clients. I never get the sense that she is attached to a particular outcome, only that she wants to support me in doing whatever will make my life more meaningful and joyful to me. I am directing my life much more intentionally and with more awareness since I started coaching. These days, I feel much more in control of my life. I’m really starting to be the person I want to be.
”Her incisive questions create an effective, but secure environment.”
Zoë is someone who is intrinsically comfortable to be around. Coaching with Zoë is always easy and flowing, though hardly ever tame– her willingness to speak the truth and her incisive questions create an effective, but secure environment. Zoë’s soft power approach and easy-going personality will not leave you doubting whether or not you made the right choice.
~ Lance Akiyama, Teen Mentor
”I felt heard on a deep level.”
My experience coaching with Zoe was powerful. I felt heard on a deep level. I trusted Zoe to be direct and to keep me accountable. And she supported new ways of seeing areas in my life in order to find new and better solutions. I recommend Zoe highly.
~ Debra Lamfers, Principal & Creative Director, Lamfers & Associates
”The quality of my life has been improved tremendously.”
I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Zoe. During our seven months together as client and coach she helped me get to a wonderful new place of confidence and clarity with my career and my outlook in general. Things can feel so complicated sometimes and Zoe has a great gift for helping one to simplify–to see what’s really there and what is important. With Zoe I learned that the secret to success isn’t just showing up for it to happen- it’s showing up with the right attitude and with clear intentions. The quality of my life has been improved tremendously by my experience with Zoe as a coach. She has a really special gift for guidance and is so much fun to work with. I recommend her highly for those seeking to accomplish either professional or private goals or both!
I would without hesitation recommend Zoe to anyone.
I found Zoë to be very insightful and with the sweetest candor. I was extremely impressed by her excellent listening skills and ability to retain information from previous phone sessions. Zoë was also very organized and made it simple to work around both of our busy schedules. It was also a breeze to setup phone sessions even with our 3 hour time difference. I would without hesitation recommend Zoë to anyone in search for a great coach/counselor. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Zoë and happy we crossed paths.
~ Carl, Senior Systems Engineer
”Your life will be infinitely improved.”
What I love about Zoë is that she is both sweet, tender, kind and compassionate, and also fiery, ballsy, passionate, “don’t-take-no-shit” kind of gal. She has a wealth of knowledge about human nature and happiness and life and spirituality and she brings all this knowledge and her whole self to every call. Sometimes I get nervous when I talk to Zoë because I KNOW that she won’t let me play small or get away with not following my biggest goals and desires…which is the most important quality to have in a coach. That’s why I work with her. I want results and she’ll make sure I get them. She’s funny and fun and she can REALLY see me and feel me. She has a way of getting me to the core of what I really want, and then she’ll hold me to it. Do yourself a favor…give this girl a call. Your life will be infinitely improved.
~ Sally Hope, Co-Founder GirlsGoneMoto
”Be ready to gain clarity and be held accountable to living your very best life.”
Zoe is gifted with such strength and intuition. I have had the pleasure to work with a variety of coaches, and Zoe’s talents are such a treasure. I highly recommend hiring Zoe as your coach. Her BS detector is highly effective, so be ready to gain clarity and be held accountable to living your very best life. Zoe’s compassion is clearly present, so even when being challenged I knew I was with a caring advocate who wants the best for me. Zoe is absolutely relentless in her pursuit of helping you live your best life, and she is a joy to work with.
~ Bridget P, Therapist
”Zoe has what it takes to show up in the moment and see what I often cannot.”
I feel very fortunate to have come across Zoe and Wild Life Coaching. Zoe uses a combination of her natural gifts (intuition, playfulness, spiritual nature) and her learned tools to journey with me on a path of self realization. As a fellow coach I see that Zoe has what it takes to show up in the moment and see what I often cannot. I have truly enjoyed my experiences working with her because it felt like a real partnership for the sake of my growth and forward motion in life.
~ Lisa, Owner of Revolving Vintage
”She has managed to completely change our family dynamics.”
By the end of last summer, we were at our wits end with our 14 year old son. While he was nothing but gracious with his friends and their families, he was extremely unpleasant around his own family. He was constantly berating his younger siblings, and had a bad attitude toward his father and me. We were determined to find a psychologist to help us out since nothing we did seemed to work. Through a mutual friend, my husband discovered Zoë Wild, and in the last five months she has managed to completely change our family dynamics in regards to Wesley. Although Wesley was reluctant to meet with her initially, he didn’t complain after their first meeting together. Zoë was easy to talk to and understood him. We tell Zoë what is bothering us and she works with Wesley in a very gentle and positive fashion. Wesley’s whole demeanor has been uplifted since we began with Zoë. He is pleasant to be around, he is much more aware of his actions in regards to his siblings and he is genuinely happier—which in turn makes all of us more cheerful. We are so grateful for all that Zoë has done in helping Wesley gain a better awareness and understanding of himself, his family, and the world around him. I can’t thank her enough for all she’s done to heal our family.
~ Cheryl, Elementary Drama Teacher
“I hadn’t laughed or smiled that much for so long!”
Zoe is an inspiration and pure joy to talk to and work with. In my very first session, immediately she asked about how I was feeling, and helped me release emotions & yesterday’s baggage. After our session I felt very bright, happy, and open, inspired to act and walk forward with newfound strength. I hadn’t laughed or smiled that much for so long! Zoe skillfully and playfully guided me to arrive at my own inner knowledge and strength. She is talented, experienced, and very intuitive. Thank you Zoe for sharing your gifts with me, and helping me to arrive at clarity, passion, & purpose that continues to inspire and motivate me!
