The Power and & Magic
of Gestalt Coaching

Gestalt Coaching is a powerful present-focused approach that calls for awareness “in the moment” which in itself ignites new possibilities. In Gestalt-based Coaching, we find that:

  • Clients report being able to name what they need and want in relation to their goals
  • Clients report feeling more connection to their inner wisdom while being more aware of their interpersonal and contextual environment
  • Clients report greater resilience, access to their personal strengths and optimism

  • Dorothy's presence transformed yet another repetitious day of mediocre slides and accepted wisdoms - to one of thought provocation, engaging purpose and inspiring hope.

  • To spend time with Dorothy is to give yourself the gift of time with a warm, deeply caring, honest and direct person. She'll gently push buttons no one has pushed before in you, building awareness of your most pernicious patterns, then hold and support you while you work yourself out of your own way. Dorothy uses her mastery of these gifts and skills in many venues: as an executive coach, organization development faculty member and consultant/practitioner.

  • I was expecting an ordinary training workshop. It was not … This workshop has given me the power to [make] contact with myself, and more than that, the power to change myself.

  • As a consultant, educator and facilitator, I am always inspired by Dorothy’s intuition, skill and her attention to the tiniest details in the moment. She spontaneously uses what the moment brings as a teaching point and creates a culture of constant learning. There is a lot more to learn from her wisdom. I always look forward to having new opportunities to meet Dorothy and learn from her. Just tell me the location, I’ll buy my ticket!

  • Dorothy is a deep well of knowledge and experience, leaving you yearning for more. For Dorothy it is not about her - but all about you. Dorothy makes you feel honored and dignified in her presence and her unique cultural background enriches your experience as she shares herself with you. Dorothy you are a rare gem.

  • Dorothy has had a positive impact on my life. She brings a style, grace and competence as a coach, and the spirit of 'being of service' to making the world a better place. I felt myself grow and mature in her presence and look forward to more development experiences with her.

  • I’ve studied with well-known world teachers. Dorothy Siminovitch has become one of those important teachers in the world of Gestalt thinking, coaching, and system development. She supports thinking, teaching, and training in what matters for clients and training groups, and then becomes the embodiment of what she has taught others. I recommend her expertise to others, with gratitude for what she has inspired in my own development.

  • Dorothy is a master — elegant, simple, provocative, deep and fully present to the moment and the opportunities at hand. Our leadership team gathers for a retreat and new learning each winter and last year we spent two magical days with Dorothy. Each leader on the team spends so much time teaching, coaching and consulting with individuals, teams, and larger scale organizations -- the power of our presence in the months to come was profoundly impacted through our work with Dorothy — what a gift to any leader!
