She has worked with international charities, companies, arts organizations, and private clientele. She designs her programs to suit her clients’ needs.
Coaching with Adria has helped me immeasurably in clarifying and identifying my goals and priorities. Adria has an exceptional ability to hear to what you are saying about things you think you should think or want. She has great listening and observational skills that cut through the surface noise of our lives. She asks key, subtle and gently probing questions that help you to identify for yourself what it is you truly feel at a much deeper soul level. I remember the amazement and lightness I felt when I realized I really wanted something different than what I’d been telling myself and everyone else.
Acknowledging what I really wanted helped me land a key interview with a world renowned ecologist only 10 days later for airing on my new radio show. Thanks Adria for your keen ears and your exceptional skill set. – Diane de Zylva, Voice Actor, www.bluegumstudios.com, Sydney, Australia
All I can say is you are certainly fulfilling your destiny; you are an AMAZING life coach. You are a clear mirror but honestly always with kindness, compassion and respect. I had five consecutive years with a psychologist in my early 20s and maybe I was not ready at that particular point, but I’ve achieved more with you in less than a month. Thank you so very much for giving back to your clients the things you’ve learned and for being a guide to uncovering the truth within ourselves. - Michael M., Entrepreneur

Adria, this seminar (The Way of Excellence) is just great, beautifully explained, logical, engaging and inspirational. Really quite wonderful and very funny. Perfectly nuanced. A great package. - Michael Hirsh, NY Director/Actor/Composer
Adria Firestone is magnificent! She offered vital techniques to the entire audience. She provided breathing, relaxing, relating and releasing techniques and she’s a breath of fresh air. She has sincere passion and love for her work. I learned to embrace my mistakes and not worry about the “judges” and she encouraged me to be still. – S. T. Powell
I am speechless! I’ve often felt as if I’m living someone else’s life. Today, after this seminar, I truly realize that it is my life and I have nothing to regret. Your personal life examples are great inspiration, and I want to hear more, much more.
- Natalya Brook, ASCAP
This seminar was an awesome opportunity to take many small ideas learned over the years and beautifully and simply mold them into a realistic and anticipated goal! I love that you love to give of yourself and use the experience you’ve attained to help others to be “the best they can be.” – Kristy LaRocco
You are truly heaven sent. You know I wasn’t feeling 100% last week and had a gig in New York after our session. Well, I felt a difference in my entire approach. I was conscious of my breathing and my core. I checked in with myself to make sure my knees were locking up. It was fantastic. Even though I didn’t feel that well, I worked through it and got some of the best live sound I’ve ever gotten from myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your help with everything!
- Cole Williams, NY Singer & Composer
Ha!! This goes beyond help — it’s been a complete awakening. Thanks for LOTS of help, including the self esteem to apply all of it.
