  • One of the greatest gifts I believe I can give my children are wonderful resources…people who can provide them with wisdom and dimensions that are different than what I can offer. Margo Chisholm has been such a gift for my son. Her coaching has grounded him, strengthened his sense of himself and his personal foundation, encouraged him to listen to his body and respect his soul, helped him learn how to live fully and well “in time.” … She has helped him in one of the most important transitions of his life, thus far … He knows Margo is always there for him and never hesitates to share wins and struggles alike. –Susan S.
