So, I just received an email from YELP HDQTRS... Apparently, the review for Mr. O'Hara in which I…read moreshared quite a while ago re: his unethical business practices was removed due to some confusion as to my business relationship with Patrick? Mr. O'Hara and I did business together a couple of years ago. I gravely regret doing business with this person. He is full of trickery and deceit.. I warn anyone who seeks out his "expertise" re: taxes or anything else financial / investments, etc.!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! I've had my financials put back on track by another qualified, honest, sophisticated business owner.. His lack of honesty, honour and humility will surely catch up with him... DO NOT UTILIZE MR. O'HARA'S BUSINESS, HE IS UNETHICAL!! If you are seeking major financial headaches and high level of stress, then definitely utilize Patrick.. . Unfortunately for Mr. Ohara, he did not do right by me and lacks integrity re: business... We all make choices!! Patrick had quite a few horrendous reviews, as of late, but clearly had the audacity to contact Yelp HDQTRS and have the poor reviews deleted/removed... Please note that Patricks reviews are quite old. He had the two thumbs down reviews removed... Guess business is rough for him, now... Don't waste your hard earned money on his 'EXPERTISE".. You'll regret it greatly.. He also prepared my gf taxes and really screwed her up financially... KARMAS GOT EVERYONE'S ADDY!!!

I was discovering my empathic and sensitive nature and was gravitating towards holistic healing methods. I felt like an outsider within traditional recovery and I was failing at sobriety. A healer I work with suggested I meet Rebecca. I read Rebecca's bio and started crying. It was as if I was reading my own story and that I wasn't alone. With Rebecca I instantly felt the presence of compassion and healing. She's got a ton of street cred, life experience, and self-healing practices to share with others. I felt as if Rebecca was more than a healer, but a mentor. I've worked with Rebecca for over 6 months and continue to do so working with her on coaching, energy work, and most recently her Self-Healing Mentorship program. I find that Rebecca makes spiritual, energetic, and healing principles easy to understand and relatable. As my healing journey progresses and changes, Rebecca has helped me navigate, which is my favorite part of working with her. She knows healing is personal and intuitive and that needs for each client will be different. Working with her, I feel empowered to make choices about what healing practices work best for me and which don't. Through her Mentorship program, I was given a variety of practical and simple self-care practices I can carry with me through life. She guides clients back to their own intuition and having compassion for one's healing journey. She's also really funny! Because of that, my healing journey has been fun and uplifting, so I want to keep up self-care practices. I am grateful to Rebecca for being a beacon of light for myself and others. I highly recommend Rebecca - it is a privilege and joy to work with her. - Ryan
