I am so incredibly lucky to have found Emilie! About 6 months ago, I decided it was time to make…read moresome serious career and life decisions and went about looking for a career counselor in San Diego. Since my background is a mix of non profits, education and adventure travel, I wanted to find someone who was equally spiritual but also very practical and had a solid business background. Was this even possible to find an accomplished and respected business person with these qualities? Yes! I found her. Upon meeting Emilie for our first session, I was immediately convinced that I was had found the perfect counselor to help me sort through my new career move. With 15 years experience as an HR professional and a background in yoga, mindfulness and meditation, Emilie is able to take into account not only improving your career but also your quality of life as it pertains to your happiness, health and lifestyle. She worked with me on identifying my goal, how to get there and how to focus without getting overwhelmed by the journey. She is incredibly introspective, practical, compassionate and motivating. After each session, she always provides me with homework and a project to work on. She is truly engaged in the process and is dedicated to each of her clients success. Emilie is wonderful and I highly recommend her should you need guidance through a career transition, a new business or improving your quality of life.

I met with Emilie on the recommendation of a friend and in the small number of sessions (4), I've…read moreaccomplished more than in a whole year's worth of therapy. She is amazing! I feel empowered and motivated each time I leave a session. But that isn't enough, sure one can feel better talking over your problems with someone, but you also need hands on tools. Each time she has given me "homework" and exercises to do at home to not only help me develop positive habits but work on keeping me moving in the right direction. I can think of countless hours and money I've have spent with therapists over the years and I was always left unsatisfied. I need someone that I'm accountable to and is reminding me of the work that I need to do. Emilie is that person. She intuitively knows when I need someone to lift my spirits when I'm down, but also give me a kick in the butt when I'm being lazy. Thank you!! I look forward to developing as person with your insight and advice.

Working with Erica is truly an unforgettable experience. I have worked with her on several…read moreoccasions over the past few years, and I usually book a session when I'm feeling stagnant or when I know something deeper is going on within me that I can't quite pinpoint, much less articulate. Erica is incredibly intuitive and has a unique ability to help navigate whatever heaviness you are carrying. She takes the time to truly listen, understand and then guides you through the areas that need attention. Rather than telling you what you are feeling, she helps you discover it for yourself. Things came up that I didn't even realize I had been holding onto, and she helped me release emotions and energy that had been weighing me down. I had been carrying emotional weight for months, and I walked out of my session feeling like a rejuvenated woman. I felt lighter, more motivated, and experienced a release from the overwhelming thoughts and heaviness I had been carrying. She also gave me individualized tools to continue my healing and nervous system reset journey beyond the session. What I truly appreciate about Erica is how safe she makes you feel. Things I have felt embarrassed or vulnerable to say out loud, even with my own therapist, I felt completely comfortable sharing with her. She is a safe space. Her warmth, personality and genuine care make it easy to open up and do the deeper work. Erica is incredibly gifted, and I believe that she meets you exactly where you are. I highly recommend looking at her website to explore the variety of services she offers. I am so grateful to Erica and wholeheartedly recommend her services.

I experienced a remarkable healing with Erica after months of emotional hardships. I didn't realize the actual extent of this until I experienced an immediate shift during my initial session with her. She re-awakened my spirituality, the relationship to loving myself, and restored confidence in who I am as well as my purpose in this life. In addition to Erica's use of a variety of healing modalities, she gives her clients tools to succeed through the teaching of techniques and other helpful recommendations that can be used at home. I'm so very thankful, well beyond words, for everything Erica does and the special care she takes with her clients. It brings me joy to recommend others to her practice.

I was feeling trapped and stuck, unable to see any other options for my situation. And with such grace, Portia was able to help me see where I could focus on myself and my own story and beliefs to find freedom and be in control of the situation. She helped me also to come up with an effective way to communicate with others that really opened up the possibility in the relationship instead of creating a bad relationship. What a relief that was! I feel liberated and a renewed sense of having my life the way I want it. It is funny to say that it now seems such an obvious way to go but I just couldn't without Portia really bringing it to life. She helped me take responsibility for what ever way I contributed to my situation which gave me the empowerment to change it! I feel so much better! I feel a sense of freedom and renewed excitement I can have the lifestyle I want. She really helped me to understand and grasp that I have a choice to create the life I want. She helped me really embrace that I am not responsible for other peoples' experience. And helped me to recognize that feeling stuck or angry with someone is actually a clue for me to look inward to see what decisions or choices I might be making that are not feeling good. And then I can change that! Portia gets straight to the point with amazing grace and hones in on what is really going on and how you can take back control of your life! She is amazing!

Her compassion, presence, and natural style feel like I am sitting with a friend. I feel safe, comfortable, and open to exploring, healing and growing. I am so grateful to have found her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for more joy, fulfillment, or support with goals in life.

The second I asked direct, pointed questions about whether the coaching actually fit what I was trying to accomplish, the rep completely lost his composure. Defensive, raising his voice -- over basic pushback on a sales call. Instead of listening or giving me a straight answer, he just kept pushing the coaching package and got emotional when I didn't immediately buy in. It was obvious his job was to close a sale, not to understand my situation or actually help me get anywhere. For a brand that trades on this exact reputation, the professionalism was shockingly poor. If this is the calibre of person representing the program, I can't recommend it to anyone.

I committed to working with Johnny during one of the most difficult times in my life which was a divorce. It was time I 'rebuild' all areas of my life, as my world was completely upside down.

During this time Johnny guided me in all areas of personal development; spirituality, confidence, masculinity, communication and presence. I had no idea the importance of any of these areas until I met Johnny. Session after session my thought patterns shifted, I evolved. He is truly a gifted human being...a real-life LEGEND.

Jey was recently recognized for being the Best Personal Trainer in Serra Mesa for 2026 and the…read moreaward did not surprise me. Why? Because, I can personally attest that Jey is the real deal. Showing up. Doing the work. Day after day. Month after month. Year after year. This is not just a pump-up review. (pun intended) I watched Jey with my own eyes for years because we worked out at the same gym every single day. That was 26 years ago. The passion, the grit, the consistency were always there. What makes him different is that he does not just train others, he trains himself. Mentally, physically, and emotionally. He is constantly pushing himself and figuring out what it takes to get to the next level so he can help his clients get there too. That is how Jey ended up here. A plan. Consistency. Discipline. There are no shortcuts. If you want results, Jey is the guy who will get you there, no matter your starting point or fitness level.

I am can't say enough about how much I appreciated this space. The skills I learned weren't just…read moreexciting--they were exactly what I needed at that time in my life. I loved showing up to class because, more often than not, I was working through some real-life challenges, and the tools we practiced helped me navigate them in real time. The program didn't just teach me how to coach--it brought a whole new awareness to how I listen, how I approach conversations, and how I show up for myself and others. It made me realize that I had been stuck in 'fixer' mode--always trying to manage things, always trying to solve problems--but in a way that was draining me, leaving me with less capacity to be fully present. I remember a specific moment when I was going through something tough, and I had to coach myself using the very skills I was learning. That's when it hit me--this wasn't just about getting a certification or building skills to help others. This was about shifting how I live, how I listen to myself, and how I manage that fixer within me. It was about recognizing that I deserve the same care and attention that I give to others. That personal transformation has stayed with me long after the program ended. Now, having gotten over that hump and starting my coaching and consulting practices, I'm actively using these skills, and they've helped me tremendously. Whether it's in the workshops I've held, coaching my clients, or leading my team, these tools have been invaluable. It's been an amazing, incredible experience, and I'm forever grateful for it. I'll always appreciate not only the tools and resources that set me up for success as a coach but also the deep personal growth I experienced. And I can't forget the community--the staff and fellow students were so supportive, so loving. They created a space where I could be myself, and I'm truly thankful for that. Simply put it was such a dope experience.
