Working with Coach Kashina has been transformative. She shared so much wisdom through her experience and God's word to help me make critical decisions. She has a divine gift to supernaturally connect others with their God given assignment and has led me through numerous doors of opportunity as I build my business. What I love most is her emphasis on renewing my mind to change my life.
Anika Williams, Kingston Jamaica
I worked with Coach Kashina over the course of several months. Prior to meeting her, I was broken to the point of wanting to die. Kashina was very supportive yet forthright and radical in providing fertile soil for my decision making.
We worked on changing my mindset first and I'm happy to say I found renewed passion for life and for the things of God. I look forward to my sessions with Kashina as I continue to grow.
Dorothy Bastien, Belle Glades, FL
I too endured trauma which affected me negatively in so many areas of my life. Kashina helped me examine my own experiences by sharing her story of survival and by demonstrating the evidence of transformation in her own life. I have since become relentless in my pursuit of purpose and recently completed my degree in Christian counselling. I continue to follow her work as she inspires other to find their voice.
Nicole Watson, St. Andrew Jamaica
Working with Kashina helped me to overcome brokenness and feelings of inadequacy that were keeping me stuck. Because of her with the help of God I am stronger and bolder. I have since recommitted my life to the Lord and am now thriving in my career, my ministry and my business. I am living my dream as a successful entrepreneur with an international clientele. She definitely motivates me to do more and be more.
Tricia Manning, St. Andrew Jamaica
I had the privilege of soaking in every moment with Kashina as she peeled back the layers that clouded both healing and revelation. My mind is blown every time we connect. She is full of wisdom and articulately brings across her message of change with such brilliance. She has a way of breaking down the most difficult challenges in a very simple way. I see her as not just a gift but a divine date with destiny, a cheerleader is always in my corner.
Tara Gross, Honesdale PA
As the saying goes, "proof sells and promises don't".
Well, I have proof that Coach Kashina knows what she is doing. I have paid money for service before and literally got duped. I was casually having a conversation one day and was sharing my experience and she invited me to work with her. I didn't feel like she was trying to sell so I decided I would give it a shot.
I was so very excited and pleased with the result.
