Treehouse Coaching

Start your journey towards personal growth and transformation with Marla’s guidance and support.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Marla Gitterman, a Co-Active trained coach. I care about the planet and the people in it. I spent three decades creating and running programs that made life better for the environment, women, refugees, and small business owners all over the map. These days, I’m wearing my life coach hat, helping people find their way in a safe space where they can explore and grow.

How it works

Contact me to schedule a free 30 to 45-minute session during which we will talk about your interest, the essence of coaching, and determine if we are a good match. After we decide to work together, we will spend the first session going deeper into your goals and interests and design an alliance on how we will work together. Generally, we meet once a week or twice a month for 45-60 minutes via phone or Zoom. A typical engagement lasts six months, but this varies from person to person.

Colleague and Client Testimonials

Angela Scalpello, Colleague, HR Leader and Coach

When I think of what Marla brings as a coach here’s what comes to mind: she is curious and nonjudgmental, a good listener and a kind and empathic person. She is able to create a safe space where someone can open up to share what they’re really thinking and feeling.
Pilar Illanes, Small Business Owner and Client

Marla has been a source of support in both my business growth and personal development. In our sessions, I discovered that my business pursuits weren't aligned with my life's purpose. Marla employed various coaching techniques, granting me fresh perspectives on my circumstances which empowered me to make informed decisions, not only in business but in life as a whole.
Athena Katsaros, Colleague, Leadership Coach and Trainer

Marla's ability to listen attentively is exceptional. She creates an environment where you feel heard and understood, which is a key quality in a coach. Her empathetic nature allows her to connect with her clients on a deeper level, helping them overcome their challenges with compassion.
Sabrina, Educator, Parent and Client

Marla is coaching me for a variety of themes. She has helped me discover my life’s purpose, supported me through the challenges of raising my teenage daughter and more recently, helped me explore the many positive aspects of my relationship with my mother. Marla’s ability to listen mindfully, empathize with great compassion and employ a variety of coaching strategies makes her very easy to talk to and trust. Thank you, Marla, for all of your thoughtfulness and support!
Hope Mbabazi, Young Professional Client

Marla’s coaching sessions have allowed me to realize my values - those I have adopted from my culture, those I was raised with, and those I have picked up along the way. This encouraged me to be true to myself and stand in my power. Marla is a fantastic listener and with a very warm energy. She will make sure your goals, emotions, and feelings are aligned during the sessions. She truly creates space to be vulnerable while also highlighting your abilities one by one.
