See the Impact Through my Clients' Words
“I have been working with Renée for several years, and I cannot overstate the positive impact she has had on my life. I have struggled with significant levels of anxiety my entire life and have experienced periods of debilitating panic attacks and depressive episodes. She has helped me manage these symptoms of anxiety, periods of depression, work through past trauma, and develop healthier, more assertive communication and boundary setting—especially in my relationship with my mother. Renée’s approach is compassionate, thoughtful, and empowering. I always feel heard, supported, and challenged in the right ways. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful, lasting growth. ”
“Spend 5 minutes with Renee and it will change your life.”- Mark, Ontario, Canada
“When I met Renee Willis I was truly at a crossroads in my life. Three months prior to meeting her I had undergone a major spinal/cervical fusion surgery that seemed to pause my life and give me the opportunity to look at where I was standing on my transformative path through an objective lens. Upon connecting with Renee, she immediately spoke my language — one of her first assessment questions to me was “send me the song that you most identify with”. Music is the language of my soul, as is hers! With this I immediately realized that this woman was — simply put — a Godsend to me. For some unspoken reason, I immediately felt at ease and safe to share with Renee my story in my own raw, unabashed, and open manner. She received and of course continues to receive me with open, compassionate, loving, gentle and kind arms (in fact, she gives excellent cyber hugs, and as one who is not comfortable with hugs, I have learned to receive them wholeheartedly). Through her nurturing of our relationship where I can be truly “seen”, Renee has provided a safe space for me to grow, explore, and grow more, even as I travel dangerous territory. She has a clear understanding of my code and where I have to travel to achieve optimal personal growth.
I’ve seen many therapists over the course of my nearly 51 years of life, have met with psychiatric specialists, have been heavily medicated (I am psycho pharmaceutical free as I write this), even diagnosed with bipolar spectrum disorder, and yet can say that I have gained more insight and knowledge about myself in the past 10 months working with Renee than I have in a lifetime. In fact, after a psychiatric evaluation last month, the doctor proclaimed me not a candidate for medication, and that I no longer can be diagnosed with bipolar disorder!
Renee’s refreshing approach towards working with me has been one of empathy, love and patience, void of judgement. She has empowered me by standing by my side, steadfast and unwaveringly supportive as I navigate both treacherous and positive experiences, professionally and personally, and learn more about my self and my own personal code. She also explores with me extremely high level thought processes, both on the spiritual and psychological levels, that again allow me to gain an even deeper understanding of my soul and purpose in this life. She has shown me that as I trudge through the darkness, I am at the same time soaring towards my light. And, her constant reminding that I am not alone on my journey, is a huge source of comfort and safety. Because of Renee, I’ve learned to embrace and cultivate my resilient spirit and employ it as a source of strength through each obstacle I encounter.
Renee speaks often about the importance of cultivating the best possible relationship with one’s self, through understanding the WHY behind why we respond, react, behave or feel a certain way. With her Mary Poppinsesque bag of tools, resources and life experiences, she has a solid method for getting at the source and answer any WHY imaginable. She answers my WHYS often!
What is even more remarkable about the expertise that Renee offers me is that she is one stop shopping! She coaches me on my life, my dreams, my goals, my relationships with myself and others. She coaches me on how to grow my business and leverage my social media marketing activities. And recently, she has begun coaching me on how to transform my mind/body/and spirit, through intense health/wellness/diet and physical training. She is the whole brilliant package.
God has blessed me with unique mentors that arrived at pivotal points in my life to guide me down each segment of my path towards living a passionate and fully expressed life. And yet, I was blessed once again when Renee Willis was sent to me! This time though, I realize that I am very close to discovering the true love, joy and purpose in my life, and Renee is playing the pivotal role, and will be THE witness to my true calling! ”
“I discovered Freed and On Fire many years ago and working with Renée has been nothing short of life-changing. Before starting therapy, I felt stuck in behaviors and emotions I didn’t fully understand. Through her insight, compassion, and unwavering presence, I’ve experienced change that feels exciting, grounding, and deeply empowering all at once. Renée creates a space that is both safe and challenging—where I feel truly seen, heard, and encouraged to become the best version of myself. Her ability to ask the right questions, reflecting with honesty and care, and guiding me toward clarity has helped me regain strength, courage, confidence and purpose that had been absent for so long. But, where Renée goes a step beyond is in her humanity. She will meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and will walk alongside you as you learn to trust yourself again. Because of this work, my relationships are healthier, my self-awareness is sharper, and my life feels more aligned with my values and faith. I am profoundly grateful for Renée’s guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone ready for real, meaningful change. ”

“I initially reached out to meet with Renée when I was feeling frustrated in various realms of my life - I was not finding satisfaction in my current work, I was struggling with family relationships, and above all I was feeling alone and sad. Renée has an amazing way of giving you permission to just be yourself, and to truly share what is on your mind without fear of judgement. Renée has opened up conversations and honed in on things that were total blind-spots for me. I always leave our conversations feeling like I have practical, applicable take-aways that are helping me to move forward in my life. I feel lighter, more empowered and equipped to be myself. This has allowed me to make better choices in my workplace, to be more aware about what I need in relationships and to move towards a place of deeper peace and joy! ”
“From our initial communication, Renée was very open and easy to communicate with both over the phone, and in email dialogue. Her demeanor is pleasantly refreshing as she is able to scrape away the fluff and get to the bottom line even though you may not be able to see it at the moment. You are made to feel comfortable in sharing details, and do so knowing that there is no judgment, just problem solving on her end. There is a sense of calm in exchanging ideas and Renée has an ability to relate and make you feel “human” despite what you’ve made up in your own mind about your specific situation. Renée has quickly become a trusted confidante and valuable resource for me – thank you for making a difference Renée! ”
“Renee is the most amazing - she’s truly on fire and inspires others in miraculous ways - a game changer! And she walks the walk, not just talk the talk, so clients know she can make it happen for them! ”
“Both incredibly passionate and real, Renee is someone that empowers you the moment her eyes catch yours. You can feel positivity radiating from her before she even speaks to you. I’ve witnessed Renee in action with her clients and friends, and she brings an outstanding sense of confidence and motivation. I’ve adopted many of the strategies she’s taught me, without her even knowing she was teaching, she just lives and breathes the lifestyle.
I highly recommend Renee to anyone seeking a healthier more positive lifestyle. ”
“Undeniably passionate, Renee will always impact those around her and move them to be more and more of their true and wonderful selves. Thanks Renee! ”
