“Love First Coaching has had such a profound positive impact on my life in a very short period of time. Faruk has a special gift for human connection. He created a safe space where I felt free to express myself vulnerably — to be truly seen and listened to — so that I could receive the help I really needed.If you're out in the arena daring greatly in your life, Faruk is a pro that you 100% want to have in your corner. Highly recommend.”— Brad Kuntz

“Before working with Faruk, I was aimlessly wandering a career transition, overwhelmed with possibilities and unsure of what next steps to take. Faruk’s coaching framework has allowed me to gain clarity on my current value system, set goals based on those values, and develop lasting changes in my daily habits that support me reaching those goals. I am more grounded and empowered, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone feeling stuck and looking for empathetic, action-oriented support.”— Heather Isobe
