I came to Debi to try and see if hypnotherapy would help me with anxiety and panic attacks. I…read moresuffered a very bad panic attack last year. I got relief from those symptoms and much more! She gave me the tools to calm me down in times of stress. We worked on my drinking habits also and I went 40 days without a drink. I no longer get the shakes when I don't drink or have the desire to drink everyday after work. I lost 5lbs in 5 weeks. I am more calm and can handle other people who try to pick on my energy. Or who are very negative. I've become more spiritual. I also, for the first time in over two years am able to sleep without the lights on for over two months now! I was sleeping with a night light and now I do not have to. I felt her sessions were life changing and I hope you will find her sessions life changing also!

I was truly stunned to discover how effective Debi's hypnotherapy would be. While it would be…read moresimpler to say that the hypnosis alone was singularly effective, it was Debi herself who made our work extraordinary. Whether or not you lean towards traditional therapudic philosophy, or are open to a more spiritual mindset, Debi's patience, kindness, and open heart make room for lasting healing and personal growth without fear or judgement. It was through our work together that I found the strength to claim agency over my health and we'll being, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Debi!

She is a…read morebeautifully present, calm and attentive being; I didn't feel rushed or judged when I opened up to her. She listened carefully & deeply with what I presented to her, to what I was saying *behind my words* to connect with what would benefit me most in session. I felt very safe as she then softly held my head in her hands during the experience in a supportive way, which enabled me to let go further into the deeper states of my consciousnesses. She fully honored my journey by really taking her time helping me to visualize the journey and places I wished to explore and open up within myself.. I felt and saw things I never experienced before in Hypnosis which ended with a full blown "cosmic explosion" of information from my higher self beyond expectations. After having this deep emotional and spiritual release, I still feel it, days later now, very open and raw, in tears often - like fresh new cleansing water flowing through my solar plexus/heart area, the calm after the storm.. I feel the aftermath from nothing less than a truly blissful *enlightenment* most only hope to catch a glimpse of.. I still can't put words to it fully, will take time to process, but know I would not of been able to of gone that far with just anyone. Sylvia is a most talented, gifted healer and I can't recommend her enough. The wisdom that surfaced from that one session will serve me well for eternity. If you are truly seeking to break through boundaries in your life, seeking wisdom and truth for your path, become more fully in alignment with your higher self and life's purpose and need a witness/guide to bring you to that place where the answers you seek are awaiting to be explored deep inside yourself, Sylvia is more than skilled at helping you to achieve this. Thank you Sylvia! ~~*~~

Let me start by saying...I get that some people are a bit weary on hypnotherapy. You see a movie…read moreand someone waves a pocket watch in front of you and then puts you in a hypnotic state in 2 minutes and next thing you know, you are clucking like a chicken. LOL! Rest assured, that is NOT what hypnotherapy is like AT ALL! LOL! Sandra is truly one of the most beautiful, caring people I have ever met! From our first email, text and even first session, I felt like I was talking to a long time friend, where you can be candid, laugh, cry and just be yourself which allows you (and Sandra) to hone in on what you'd like out of your session. My first and second sessions were AMAZING! :) I felt calm, safe and optimistic that with Sandras guidance and wisdom I would reach the barriers in my subconscious that were preventing me from being my best self and Sandra did not disappoint!! I was guided to not only the barriers, but Sandra gave me the confidence to remove them and create a clear path to my best self! I left both sessions feeling light, happy and confident. It's a feeling that is so deeply embedded in me that I feel like I'm walking on air! Sandra couldn't have chosen a better name for her practice because my sessions were truly Transformational!

I've seen Sandra a total of 3 times so far and each healing session has been phenomenal. I hadn't…read moredone hypnotherapy before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I did two trauma healing sessions and one past life regression. It's as if my brain has been reprogrammed. My experience: Before the session, we discussed what I'd like to work on. Then when she starts, I gradually fall into a deep hypnogogic state. Her voice gets further away and it's as if my body/subconscious takes over and responds to her suggestions. After our sessions, I noticed that I was starting to process trauma that had been too painful/buried to do so consciously through other therapy methods. I'm starting to adopt healthier behavioral patterns, moving with more fluidity, and am slowly regaining my agency and my voice.I highly recommend Sandra, especially if you're dealing with trauma that feels too deep to reach with regular talk therapy. - Sophi D

I began working with Jessica after the birth of my first child while struggling with postpartum…read moredepression. The transition into motherhood felt overwhelming--between the loss of autonomy, resentment about the workload expected of mothers, and the sense that my world had been turned upside down, I felt stuck. Through coaching with Jessica and participating in her Well Nourished Woman groups, I learned to check in with my body and needs, redefine what "good enough" looks like, and uncover patterns that were keeping me from moving forward. Now, having just completed the "fourth trimester" with my second daughter, my postpartum experience has been completely different. I felt resourced, supported, and able to fully experience the joy of mothering while also tending to my own needs. The ease I felt this time around would not have been possible without Jessica's wisdom and encouragement. She often says, "What is good for the mother is good for the family." That has proven true in my own life--her support hasn't just changed my experience of motherhood, it has positively impacted my whole family. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any mother seeking support in this transformative season.

Shannon is a wise and sensitive soul…read more My doctor referred me to Shannon to help me better handle life with a chronic medical condition. From our first session, Shannon approached me with kindness and genuine curiosity. During our time together, she guided me into the inner reaches of my body and mind with patience, openness, and compassion. I had never tried hypnotherapy before my sessions with Shannon. In fact, I went in as a skeptic, but I found Shannon's approach to be powerful and grounded in deep truths. More insights were revealed to me in my couple of months with Shannon than I'd uncovered in the combined years of talk therapy that I've done in the past. Forget what you think you know about hypnotherapy, and take the leap. With Shannon, you're in good hands.

I initially went to Shannon with the intention of working through the physical, mental, and…read moreemotional challenges that come with Long Covid and chronic fatigue. This was my first time doing hypnotherapy so I was a bit nervous to start, but Shannon did a great job explaining to me the process of hypnotherapy and listened intently to what I wanted to work on. After doing a series of sessions with her, I have noticed myself feeling less weighed down by the feelings of sadness and frustration that were so constant for me, and instead moving towards happiness and living the life I want to live. I feel happier day-to-day and more resilient on my hard days. Ultimately, working with Shannon has changed my perspective on life and allowed me to connect with parts of myself I was not even aware of. Shannon is the real deal!

With…read moreJessica's help and a bit of CBT-i sleep consolidation, I was able to reframe the way I think about sleep. Hypnotherapy was very new to me and I learned that it is exactly the kind of therapy that I needed. Jessica will spend about half the session learning more about what you are working on and will take notes and tie in info from other sessions. Then she leads you on a guided meditation to create a relaxing state of mind to begin exploring your inner issues with creative visualizations. It is a brilliant approach to therapy beyond just the talking format. Jessica is smart, experienced, calming, and hilarious. Highly recommend!

From the moment I met Melanie I was drawn to how solid and grounded she is. She feels almost…read moreconnected to the earth's core. Instantly, I felt that I could be completely open and honest with her. She made me feel safe enough to bring issues to the surface that I had long kept buried, almost unaware they were even there, impacting my life in ways great and small. Melanie has been instrumental in helping me to shift my relationship with my parents, which has been a revelation, as well my relationship with myself. I feel I know myself better, am more honest about my inner strengths, more deeply in touch with my inner wounding. As a therapist, I experience Melanie walking beside me, subtly guiding me in and out of the inner spaces I need to visit and explore. I am grateful for this opportunity to work with Melanie and foresee a brighter future for myself and my loved ones because of her insight and empathy. I am excited to know that others will now have the same opportunity at transformation that I have had.

I can't say enough good things about Melanie. She's by far the most helpful, understanding, and…read moregenuinely caring therapist I've ever had. Because her method isn't the traditional "clinical therapy," I feel like she's able to connect and understand me in a much more effective way.

I referred her to a friend even, who says the same, that she's helped her more in 2 sessions than her previous therapist did in a year. I've never been one to try the non-traditional methods, but I am SO glad that I did, if I could give her 10 stars I would!

In an email one year ago she briefly mentioned that her husband has crazy work hours and said it…read morewouldn't be fair to take on new clients. Then I kind of forgot about this. I reached back a year later to fix a session. She didn't mention it again on the phone or explicit stated there is a high chance that she might have to cancel last minute to prepare me. She fixed a date then cancelled the day before and then I fixed another date a month later then she cancelled again the day before. This gave me feelings of being dismissed, not valued, not taken seriously, not considered important. All the things I am trying to get help with from a reiki practioner and life coach. I also had to have my husband take care of my child to do this with her. I also had to take time off work to be there during work hours. These things matter to me too. I didn't think this was a professional thing to do. And more importantly she never said I might have to cancel due to my husband's work hours or made that very clear. I don't recommend this service because of last minute cancellations.

Over the past year, I've received several services including the 2-Hour Life Coaching + Reiki session, Reiki 1 & 2 Practitioner Certification class, Distance "Sunrise Reiki," and most recently the Spiritual Life Coaching Certification class. I'm also looking forward to joining the Virtual Mana Healing sessions now that they're back -- it feels powerful to heal in a safe, like-minded community. From the very first consultation, Britt made me feel safe, heard, and completely at ease (plus, her office has great vibes). She asks thoughtful, intuitive questions that gently get to the root of what you're moving through while honoring both practical and spiritual perspectives. The clarity I received from that first Life Coaching + Reiki session alone was more impactful than any support I've received through insurance-based services. The Reiki portion, though brief, created energetic shifts I could feel clearing throughout the entire week. If I could describe my journey since March 2025 in one word, it would be Clarity -- I feel more connected to myself, my intuition, and my path than I have in years. I felt called to continue exploring the power of energy healing and enrolled in the Reiki 1 & 2 Certification class to support my nervous system and explore this healing work more seriously. Britt is intentional about vetting her students, which creates a safe, supportive learning environment. I even repeated the training six months later (offered at a generous discount) to deepen my practice, and to my pleasant surprise, ended up receiving even more healing myself. Learning alongside like-minded people has been incredibly uplifting, and the sense of community has been a gift in itself. The Spiritual Life Coaching Certification class further supported my personal growth -- building confidence, asking better questions, holding space without projection, and strengthening how I show up for others. I gained practical tools for navigating anxiety, overthinking, and to help build self-trust that I continue to use in daily life and now in my Reiki sessions. I'm also grateful for Britt's distance offering, "Sunrise Reiki," which has become an affordable yet essential form of energetic self-care. The intuitive messages she shares afterward are always insightful and affirming. Living in the Bay Area, I truly appreciate her pricing -- the value far exceeds the cost. Britt has a heart of gold. Her generosity, integrity, and devotion to this work are felt in every offering. Supporting a local, family-owned healing business that pours so much back into the community feels meaningful, especially knowing her mission extends into her nonprofit, High Vibrational Child, which supports healing and empowerment for the next generation. Since beginning this journey, receiving Reiki, becoming attuned, and consistently practicing energetic / spiritual hygiene -- I feel more aligned in my life and relationships. I had bookmarked Holomua Healing Arts years ago in 2019 and finally booked in 2025 (after watching several of Britt's interviews on YouTube to see if she felt like a good fit), it truly feels like divine timing. Even the friendships formed through these trainings have restored my hope in finding safe, heart-centered community again. If you're interested in Reiki or a more spiritually centered form of Life Coaching, I highly recommend reaching out to Britt for a consultation.
