PRAISE
“Randi didn't just hold my hand. She held my heart. Really.”
“In my heart has lived a program. For a very long time, it rested there. From time to time I would whisper "are you ready to come out yet?" and it would stubbornly refuse, preferring the warmth and safety of the womb in which it contentedly ensconced. Yes, it was happy there, but in equal measures, so too was it terrified to come out. And I'll admit, I was a little afraid too. Would anyone love it beyond me? What would it look like? Would it matter to anyone? Would it make a difference? Would it survive?
I brought my heavy heart to Randi. She held it, looked inside, smiled and whispered some of her magic. Then she turned to me, whispered some more of her magic and out flowed my program. Beautiful. Powerful. Smart. Important. Valued. Cherished. Revolutionary.
So yeah, Randi held my heart. And out came the program I've been dreaming of."
— Tanya Geisler, Leadership Coach, Imposter Syndrome Expert, Author, Toronto
"Working with Randi and learning from her has been life-changing.”
“No hyperbole here – and completely shifted my mind frame (and behaviors) regarding boundaries."
— Dr. Lilia Graue, MD, Mexico City
"Randi has given me the courage I need to say no.”
“I’ve struggled with boundaries all of my life. But after working with Randi Buckley I have learned to set and enforce them - while still maintaining my kindness. I’m forever grateful for her wise guidance.”
— Theresa Reed, The Tarot Lady
“Randi is the real deal.”
“After a few years of contact over the inter webs, Randi and I spent a couple of days together and travelled through the magic of Big Sur. Maya Angelou said that you can tell a lot about a person by the way she handles a rainy day, lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights. Can I add to the list: a road trip with a tired small person and a soundtrack involving ‘five little monkey’s’ on repeat?!
As online, in person Randi is patience, kindness, wisdom and love. She has such a deep and quiet calm, combined with a quick wit suffused with the dirtiest laugh. She quickly gets to the truth and heart of matters.
Randi is the real deal. She is as mighty as a Californian redwood and as vivid as the orange wild poppies that edge Highway 1. I just love her."
— Sas Petherick, Coach, Author, Bristol, England
"I unearthed truths about myself that I never even knew were there.”
“Randi... you stand for everything that I value... trust, aligned transformation, authentic connection, loving community and just unconditional love (SO much unconditional love), inclusivity, nonjudgment and of course... context, discernment, nuance! I unearthed truths about myself that I never even knew were there and it's because you are a genius at holding space— gentle, loving space— for hidden gifts, magic, skills to rise up. Most important... you're not afraid to shine a light on the darkest spaces within ourselves: the hidden longings, the regrets, the heartache; allowing all of these come together in a tapestry of wholeness and full acceptance of Self. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
— Shantini Rajah,Writer, Kuala Lampur
"Dramatically freeing work here folks.”
"Healthy Boundaries changed my life dramatically. Through Randi's system of teaching boundaries, I learned to be kind and create a strong foundation of respect for both my business and my clients. Not only freeing for me but also freeing for my clients. Creating healthy boundaries with Randi enabled me to design a framework that I LOVE to work within that shows my clients how to get my BEST work from me. Brilliant!!
Each time I work with Randi, I go deeper and more nuanced in my boundary-making. Thank you Randi for your wisdom, intuition, kindness, and respect. I am a different woman, business owner, friend, and partner because of your work!!"
— Jamie Leigh, Digital Strategist, Vancouver
“Randi and HBfKP have changed the trajectory of my entire life.”
“My fear of disappointing others was the source of so much anxiety and isolation. This thought had been taking up epic proportions of my time and energy but has now dissipated almost entirely. I have updated my core values and now walk and talk the most recent edition of my operating manual.
I’ve gone from feeling withdrawn and avoidant to being confident in my ability to navigate personal, social and business situations with genuine grace and kindness. I’ve established a clear intersect in which to authentically express myself. I’ve also learned to observe and listen for the cues that others give to indicate their level of presence or need during conversation.
Perhaps most importantly, I’ve given myself permission to have a private life in which I am free to be in full expression of my ideas, creative process and trials without the need to explain or share any of it with others. I’ve reclaimed my right to take the path of learning and failing in order to eventually master whatever I choose. I honor this same right in others. Randi has taught me that kindness is not a free pass to circumvent the pain of others. Pain and discomfort is often the necessary element that we all need to grow and evolve. I find myself moving through my own discomfort and back into the stasis of joy so much more quickly now. My enthusiasm for life has returned.
So much love and respect for you, Randi! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!”

"My work with Randi is at the top of those experiences.”
“As a coach, I have worked with several coaches, and taken more than 12 coaching certifications.
My work with Randi is at the top of those experiences. She is kind, (obviiiiously), smart, strong, with a great sense of humor and so so generous. She is the one I look forward to when I want to reconnect with my own truth, in making the big decisions in my life. Like becoming a mother, or leaving my +20year corporate career. You know, small stuff like that. Her job has impacted me so much in my own coaching path, so much so, that she is in my imaginary board of directors. After every session with her, I feel so light, and I gain so much speed in my own business. It is a true privilege to have a front-row seat, and a back stage pass to how a Master coach runs her business holds space and makes magic happen.”
— Jessica Vazquez, Executive Coach, Mexico
“This training has also had a profound effect on me.”
“Randi's unique approach has deepened my understanding and practice of boundaries in ways I never imagined! While what I understood and taught before was certainly adequate, it was relatively shallow. What Randi has taught me will be invaluable to the work I do with adult daughters of "difficult" mothers because it includes a deep understanding of one's identity, which is something many daughters are missing.
This training has also had a profound effect on me, personally. And that is the hallmark of a program that truly works: when I learn by doing I am able to live the learning and that's the most powerful kind!”
Randi is a living, breathing example of what is possible! Let her show you the way."
— Karen C L Anderson, Author, Coach, Connecticut
“Randi allowed me a gentle, safe space to grapple with a question that I didn't even know I could ask.”
“Randi allowed me a gentle, safe space to grapple with a question that I didn't even know I could ask. There is so much that is packed into the concept of motherhood, much of which I had been given from traditions, religion, culture, and my upbringing. The Maybe Baby experience helped me to unpack all of those nuances and begin to figure out what my truth actually was without any guilt or shame. What I loved most was that Randi didn't have a bias, so I always felt ok with whatever answer has come to the question of Maybe Baby with no pressure to feel a certain way. It felt freeing to oscillate between answers and to not fully know at certain points. As I embark on the path of motherhood, expecting my first child in Dec, I feel a deep groundedness because it is something I consciously chose after years of reflection, which began with Maybe Baby. So grateful for it and hope that many women get the chance to be with the question with a great teacher like Randi!”
— Kandice N. Cole, Founder Unbothered Black Girl Collective, Coach, Chicago
"Randi, with compassion and integrity, knows just how to dig deep with you and help you uncover your truth.”
"Randi. If you ask any of her clients, students, or colleagues, my guess is that they would say, among other wonderful things, that she is one of those people who doesn't need a last name— she is just that unique and special. Randi has been and continues to be, my mentor. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her and all that I have learned from her and how grateful I am for her presence.
Truthfully? There is a part of me that is scared of her, but in the best of ways. Randi, with compassion and integrity, knows just how to dig deep with you and help you uncover your truth, even if it's the hardest, scariest thing you've ever done. She sits with you and gives you space to learn and grow at your own pace and in your own way and she does it with such grace and kindness.
I could write 10,000 words, here, and they would never cover the beauty of her soul and the depth of her wisdom. You'll just have to check that out for yourself."
— Kelly Gill, Coach, Missouri
"Randi’s work has brought more changes in my life (and in myself) than anyone else, and I don't say that lightly.”
“Randi Buckley is your guide, sage, mentor, leader, guru.
The work she shares has brought more changes in my life (and in myself) than anyone else on this whole platform, and I don't say that lightly. This woman is the real deal, and it's not just ideas, it's concrete ways to take immediate action. It's not a mask of bravado and toughness either.
What Randi teaches is how boundaries can be (and indeed must be) kind in order to function. That kind and nice are two entirely different things, and that when operating properly, your boundaries are like an instruction manual to help the people in your life get the very best possible version of you.
If this sounds like work you know you need to do - run, don't walk, and check out the Healthy Boundaries For Kind People information. I promise this is good, good stuff."
— Jeannette LeBlanc, writer, Phoenix, AZ
"Randi's skillful and thoughtful approach to boundaries contributed to my clarity.”
“I'm not a very coachable person. And by that I mean coaches who adhere to their method over the sovereign sitting in front of them find me uncoachable. This is accurate. I don't dig or signup for programs that say "this way" as it's usually at the expense of discovering my way. So coaches who dance with the sovereign, their own congruence as a coach and person, and who hold the tension of responsibility to what is to be accomplished are precious.
I find these folks to be rare. One such gem has crossed my path this year and that’s Randi Buckley. Randi's skillful and thoughtful approach to boundaries contributed to my clarity on what access, resources, and attention I render in my work with people. Her work is nuanced and represents a completely individualized approach to boundaries that is rare and innovative."
— Dr. Jenn McCabe, San Diego
"Healthy Boundaries for Kind People is an experience that I will be forever grateful for.”
“I felt surrounded by a group who were similarly interested in exploring where their life journey was taking them. Randi provided us the lens through which to examine and challenge ourselves, and prompted us to consider nuance and depth in a variety of ways. It was a refreshing change from the usual business masterminds and self-help circles - it was intellectual, personalized, and filled with layered meaning-making.
I didn't know what to expect when joining, just knew I wanted to be a part of any group that Randi pulled together. I still find I am lacking the words to adequately describe the experience, except to say it helped me give space to my own thoughts and vision to see myself in ways I'd not previously. If it calls you, don't worry about trying to understand why or what it will bring you, just jump in with both feet!”
