“My time with Scott was incredibly helpful! He taught me how to stop the downward spiral of worry and anxiety. I also learned how to use gratitude to reframe situations that made me stressed or sad.” — Phoenix, AZ

“A great thing happened. I was smart emotionally about the way that I handled a possible negative interaction with a close friend. I didn’t get stressed, and I didn’t fuel a possible ‘fire’. I was happy with my response. I’ve learned a lot and the proof is in the way I’m handling things when they come up.” — Scottsdale, AZ

“You know that exercise you had me do that brought to my attention my generalized fear that “something’s wrong,” combined with fear that “I never get to have what I want”? I’m realizing that I don’t feel like “something’s wrong” anymore. I feel that everything is just where it’s supposed to be, and as things change, it will be for my benefit. And I don’t feel like “I never get to have what I want” any longer either. I have the steps, and they work.” — Phoenix, AZ

“Regarding the “How to Pivot” steps you gave me. I have been able now (on many occasions) to ‘pivot’, and calm down enough to resolve the situation. I’m making this progress now as a senior, and I’ve struggled with these challenges since I was a young girl.” — Scottsdale, AZ

“I wanted to let you know how happy I am to have been able to do the work we did together. I have been able to stay positive all this time. I have been really enjoying myself more lately. Today started out amazingly chaotic. I was awakened by a frantic client who was hysterical about her curtains not closing and her inability to get to sleep. Then a client with a flooding problem and then three scheduling conflicts. Nothing got me pulled into the chaos. What a gift. I was very happy. Then out of the blue I had a dinner date with a very nice man. Very sweet. I don’t know if anything will come of it, but I don’t really care one way or the other at the moment. Another gift. You are so deserving of this praise that falls short of the real value I get from our work together. Thank you so much. I feel honored and very fortunate to have a resource such as you available to me.” — Seattle, WA

“I came to you after getting diagnosed with cancer, to ‘get out of my own way’. To me, that meant: changing some beliefs; not getting so worked up that I can’t see the path in front of me; and hearing my own intuition. I wanted to stop the old repetitive thinking, and allow answers and intuition to flow to me. Working with you, I have had successes with all these things.” — Paulden, AZ

“Since I started working with you after my cancer diagnosis’, I’ve had great awarenesses of how much I have repressed my anger. I’m realizing that I also repress a lot of other things such as hope, my sexuality since my cancer diagnosis’, my needs. Earlier in our work together I also discovered that there are things I’m fearful of that I had no idea I was. I had no idea about so much of this, and I’m now taking the steps to make these much-needed corrections in my life. Thank you!” — Paulden, AZ

“Here are some things I feel I have accomplished during our time working together: Seeing anger as an emotion and dealing with it. I’m in control. • Understanding positive thinking. I now work daily on thoughts and patterns that work for me. • Power of breathing and meditation tools. • Noticeable decrease in worry. • Increased self-care: resting, reading, diet, exercise, and watching comedy in the middle of the day for a good laugh. • Letting go of doing everything for everyone. • Letting go of perfection and embracing my imperfections. • Letting go of the negative past and rewriting those “stories.” • Knowing that I am in charge of how I feel and deal with things and emotions. • Changing from being judgmental to being compassionate. • Practicing daily gratitude. • Realizing that challenges have a purpose. • Giving myself the gift of “me time” every day. • Striving for inner peace, calm, and staying centered. • Forgiving a relative for her actions and rewriting that story with compassion for her. I don’t feel anger, just compassion for whatever path she chooses. • Doing the exercise you suggested around that big humiliating event when I was younger; I no longer feel the negative emotion related to it. I know I will have to work at not slipping back, but I feel that I have a very good foundation. I have accomplished a lot. Thank you!” — Oakland, CA

“I love how much the questions you give me to ponder force me to think. I definitely can feel that all of this is helping me navigate through my days and thoughts with more ease.” — Phoenix, AZ

“Things are becoming much more clear, and good things are starting to happen that are exciting. I’m beginning to appreciate the woman I’m becoming. She’s way more awesome than I’ve ever given her credit for.” — Scottsdale, AZ

“Hi, and thank you. It feels good to be having so much forward movement. I’m not fearing that I’m ‘getting it wrong’ any longer. When those thoughts come up in difficult moments, it passes and I’m fine!” — Prescott, AZ

“Today I had a little reaction but nipped it in the bud and remembered what we talked about yesterday. It really worked, and it just feels better to respond this way. Thank you so much!” — Phoenix, AZ

“There’s honestly so much to be grateful for lately and so much of that I owe to you. I’m being pulled more and more from this slump I’ve been in every single day. It’s easy to appreciate the little things. I’m so happy with the path I’m on right now. I can’t wait to talk to you again.” — Prescott, AZ

“I feel a lot better after our appointment last night. I was able to move through today with ease. I had a couple “moments”, but they felt so small in the grand scheme of things. In those difficult moments I focused on gratitude the way you taught me. I appreciate you so much.” — Phoenix, AZ

“I’ve been successfully motivating myself through the exercises you’ve given me. I’ve made it a part of my daily routine and it’s helping me stay on track. I’m feeling direct benefits of these exercises.” — Prescott, AZ

“I completed that most recent exercise you gave me in our recent email. (Sitting in the car dealer, waiting for maintenance to be done.) The exercise was very helpful. I want to know what’s holding me back, and I feel more in touch with the process of how to change it and create a different reality. Thank you for this exercise.” — Scottsdale, AZ

“The whole conversation in our appointment about my fear that “something’s wrong” was really important for me to hear. I hadn’t realized how much of that thinking had crept in and how much has probably always been there.” — Scottsdale, AZ

“Scott, I’ve had such an amazing day! I had a great day at work then came home and attacked the whole front of my house (that I’ve been too depressed to do for a very long time). It feels amazing.” — Prescott, AZ
“Working with you has given me the courage to do lots of things I’ve been afraid of all my life. Thank you soooo much.” — Ypsilanti, MI

“As a life coach, Scott is intuitive, compassionate and understanding. He has a wide range of interesting, dynamic life experience that enhances his role as a life coach. Scott is committed to personal growth and authenticity. With his clients, he is supportive, generous and honest.” — Prescott, AZ

You’re compassionate and caring, very intelligent, and always respond in a timely fashion. You’re always available and open to helping others whenever it’s needed. Please use this as a testimonial, I recommend you highly.” —Centerville, UT

“Thank you. My work with you has helped my life greatly. I came to you to resolve and clear my feelings of negativity. I’ve achieved great results with your help. I’ve found a way to focus on the positive aspects of my life now. You’re very professional and have made a wonderful connection with me every time. My appointments have been comfortable, helpful, and beneficial. My work with you has helped me greatly!” — Seattle, WA

“I very much appreciate how generous, open-hearted, and kind you are to work with. I also appreciate how empathetic you are, how easily and sincerely you connect with the emotions of others. Both my personal appointments with you, as well as your “Back to Joy” group seminars that I’ve participated in, have been very helpful. I feel pretty great these days! Thank you.” — Lakeside, MT

“I’ve been working with Scott for a year and a half and have never felt better in my life. I’m finally, after many years of pain, with Scott’s help, putting my past aside. He has taught me how to live in the present and to be present in each moment of my life. I highly recommend Scott. Learning to live in joy is a gift deserved by all.” — Baltimore, MD

“I’m doing very good. I feel vulnerable opening up, but I know I need to if I want to change and release these feelings. I trust and feel comfortable with you. You are so awesome. Thank you!” — Anonymous

“Dear Scott, Please accept my thanks for your help in facilitating a very positive shift as it pertains to the challenges I face in running my business and my life. I used to wake up feeling discouraged that there were so many things on my plate I couldn’t possibly get them done in a timely manner–and also discouraged that financially I couldn’t do what I felt needed to be done. Following our first session, my outlook shifted so dramatically that I now wake up with enthusiasm in anticipation of all the adventures the day will bring. Although the circumstances of my projects have not changed, my attitude has shifted, resulting in the circumstances feeling different. As a result, I experience much more confidence and peace, and I clearly understand that my previous frustrations were useful in bringing me to a point of receptivity and learning. Thank you, and I look forward to talking with you in the future.” — Cottonwood, AZ

“I wanted to let you know that I went out today to do some deliveries and to chat with some folks that I hadn’t delivered to in a while. While I was out I looked around, interviewed some store owners about some potential new products, etc… What was interesting to me was that as I could observe myself being out, and doing the same things that I was doing previously a few months ago it was easy to get perspective, and I experienced being very different. We talked earlier about you noticing that, but I didn’t have any perception of that whatsoever, but being out and doing things I hadn’t done in a while, I was able to really feel the difference in myself. It was really obvious to me, if not dramatic!” — Cottonwood, AZ

“I take time to do the exercises you give me, and they’re working, even when I do them slowly. I’m really loving this. Thank you. I appreciate you so much.” — Paulden, AZ

“Working with you really has me paying attention to my own inner voice throughout my day—way more than I did before. In the past, I thought of it as some sort of crutch. Now I realize it is a part of me that wants to help.” — Scottsdale, AZ

“That session with you yesterday changed things for me. I went outside and meditated with affirmations for 30 minutes in the sun and also got some Vitamin D! What a difference this is all making for me. I’m noticing my thoughts and am able to pull myself back when they start to slip into negativity.” — Scottsdale, AZ

“I’ve been reading the affirmations you gave me, and my mood is very good. I feel a calmness in my life, and a sense of positive expectation. I’m not sure all of what’s coming, but good things are coming, they’re actually showing up in my life. I’ve been playing around with the processes you’re teaching me and enjoying the process.” — Scottsdale, AZ

“I just want to thank you so much for our session and your time last night. Things are clicking! As I run through some things this morning, I more fully understand what you were saying about motivation with pleasure and ending my affirmation there: I will gain this; I will benefit today. It is totally clicking! WOW!” — Phoenix, AZ

“You were able to remove much of the worry and fears that I carried with me every day. I look forward to working with you on a continuous basis.” — Northern CA

“I’ve been fortunate to have had both personal appointments/sessions with Scott McMaster, and I’ve also participated in his “Back to Joy” group seminars. Scott is very professional and capable, and Deep Bay Center has been an amazing place to experience this process. I’ve been pleasantly surprised to feel such immediate effects from my work with Scott. The techniques that Scott uses, teaches, guides, and assists you through have helped me make amazing shifts in my perception of myself and my ability to love myself. The work has been a bit intense at times, but well worth the effort! I feel the benefits and effects immediately from Scott’s techniques and will continue to see him for help periodically with the ongoing “bumps in the road.” Thank you!” — Kalispell, MT

“Our time was immensely helpful to me…….and would love to talk to you again at some point.” — Kalispell, MT

“I experienced an interesting shift in the middle of the night. After being very sick for the last several days, my appointment with you yesterday triggered something that caused a powerful shift. When I woke up this morning I was in a completely different place. I was so ill this last several days that I had practically checked out of reality. This morning everything feels different, everything even looks different in my life. I feel much better, I understand so much more about what has been happening and why. This has all been as a result of my appointment with you yesterday afternoon.” — Cottonwood, AZ
