I had posted this review on Google review last month, but it appears "Coach Monique" has disabled Google featuring her business, perhaps to 'get rid' of my review. I'm reposting it here: "Coach" Monique was interested in money, not in myself as the client. I contacted Monique in the spring of 2018 looking for "Rapid Transformational Therapy," (RTT) which is an award winning technique developed by the British therapist Marisa Peer. I saw that Monique has certified training in RTT, and I wanted to have some sessions over some blocks I've been experiencing. She said she doesn't sell individual sessions, only 'packages.' She sold me her entry-level $1500 3-session package. I was hesitant because other coaches and RTT practitioners were charging a fraction of that per session, but I thought, maybe she's 'worth it'. Our first session, Monique didn't even use RTT. It was pretty much her telling me her experience with men during her three (3) marriages. Our second session was an actual RTT session, but the practitioner is supposed to give a recording within 24 hours of the session. This recording is crucial because it's supposed to cement the 'new beliefs' that got introduced during the actual session. Her recording didn't arrive until a week after our session, and after some reminder from me. The only reason why I even knew to have a recording is because I was also working with other RTT practitioners. Her recording was generic, from Marisa Peer's "I am enough" script that, as an RTT practitioner, she could access from online. The script could have been used on anyone. In contrast, the RTT practice teaches to give personalized recordings (because the 'rewiring of old beliefs' is very personal). She also didn't even bother following up, as the training teaches. Our third and last session I wanted to do another RTT session (and in fact I had wanted to ask for three "complete" RTT sessions because that's the reason I contacted her to begin with). But, she 'decided what was best' for me. We ended up talking about something that I already knew about myself. Every time I tried to steer us back to RTT, she decided that what I 'needed' was 'talk therapy' (mind you, the draw of RTT is that results are more rapid than those from traditional 'talk therapy' and that was why I wanted to have RTT sessions). And at the end of the session she gave herself credit for that I was 'becoming more open' to change. Um, no. She told me nothing new, and I learned nothing new other than that she saw me as a walking dollar sign instead of a real person who entrusted her with a lot of money in exchange for significant value. I knew what I wanted. I am very self aware. I was looking for RTT, not a condescending, paternalistic, uncaring money grabber. Never has a 'coach' been so condescening and disinterested in my personal development. She then tried to sell me on the $3500 package and told me her 'calendar's filling up fast.' I thought, if I could ask for the original $1500 back I would. Stay away, she's interested in your money and not in you. In fact I'm reading the positive reviews on Facebook and Thumbtack and am wondering if she wrote or paid someone to write them. She certainly doesn't do the RTT community a service by the way she practices. And, seeing that several people gave my Google review thumbs up, I'm guessing she took down her Google business page. Not cool. I also see that she's revamped her website to emphasize her competence in RTT. I take those reviews with a lot of grains of salt. In her original response to my Google review, she claims to 'take my complaint very seriously' but she had no way of identifying the client to make amends. I included enough identifying information that, if she bothered, she could investigate. read more
