I came to Sarah struggling with years of accumulated anxiety and chronic insomnia. My body was in a…read moreconstant state of high alert--I'd wake up every hour with clenched teeth, tight fists, and curled toes. The lack of rest made me irritable and exhausted, creating a vicious cycle that was stealing the joy from my life and straining my relationships. I felt like the world was moving on without me. Sarah is truly an 'old soul' with incredible wisdom. I've seen psychologists and therapists before, but I've never built trust as quickly as I did with her. She has an innate ability to cut through complex emotions and provide clear, actionable insights. In every session, I had an epiphany about how my old beliefs were causing my suffering. What makes her approach so effective is that she doesn't just talk; she uses hypnosis to 'program' the subconscious with these new insights right then and there. Nine sessions later, I am a different person. I'm sleeping better, and while anxiety still visits, I now know how to accept it without letting it take over. My relationship with my spouse has improved immensely, and I've found a new sense of purpose. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough.

I began working with Sarah because I felt stuck, not in my career or external life but internally…read more I've been on a healing path for over 12 years, and somewhere along the way I unconsciously adopted the belief that I was broken. That there was always something to fix, something to heal, something to improve. Working with Sarah broke that pattern for me. Through our sessions, we were able to close loops I didn't even realize were still open. On a conscious level, I thought I had already "done the work." But at a subconscious level, there were still pieces waiting to be integrated. Sarah guided me gently and skillfully, even through the harder sessions. I always felt safe. Never rushed. Never judged. Just supported. After completing our work together, I feel lighter. More present. The constant feeling that I need to fix myself or prove something has finally quieted. I have already accomplished many of my external goals but internally I always felt like it was never enough. That cycle has stopped. I now feel whole rather than in progress. I genuinely appreciate the time I spent working with Sarah. I respect her as a practitioner and as a woman doing this work. It has been an incredibly meaningful experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone who feels ready for deep, subconscious transformation.

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.

Not only did Bella bring so much energy and information instantly to the reading (with very little information from me), all the lives she tapped into made so much sense for me in many ways. I was edge-of-my-seat fascinated the whole time. I love how she taps into the past lives herself, taking the pressure off you, allowing you to retain a sense of control and ability to ask questions and take notes throughout. Even after all that, the most worthwhile takeaway for me was the energy clearing she provided at the end for my energy centers affected by all the past lives. It was super quick at the end and affected me in big positive ways that I (and my husband) noticed almost immediately. And I'm still receiving imagery from my dreams reflecting these lasting changes in my subconscious. Truly amazed. Highly recommend!

I've been a client of Elizabeth Dandenell's for years. I couldn't be more grateful to have chosen…read moreher as my therapist. Her therapy skills are superior and she is a straight-shooter. She is also compassionate, with great intuition. Before I met with Elizabeth, I'd worked hard with about a dozen very good therapists to help relieve my anxiety and depression. I also sought to improve my vocational and social struggles. That "pre-Elizabeth" therapy partially helped. The problem was I still had a vague sense something about me or my situation wasn't quite being seen and addressed yet. Then, Elizabeth helped change the course of my life. She raised the possibility that I might have two overlooked diagnoses. If accurate, she theorized, those diagnoses might help identify and explain much of the "invisible" set of challenges I've struggled with over decades. She was 100% accurate. I received both of those diagnoses after several months of testing by hospital clinicians. As a result, I've learned new ways to cope better overall. Specifically: some fast and easy ways to tamp down my overall anxiety - techniques I'd likely never have used without the diagnoses. My self-esteem has greatly improved and I'm more at peace with myself than I've been in a very long time. I've plugged in to community support. Elizabeth is a true gem of a therapist. It's encouraging to know she's available to me and others, in a world where life can sometimes feel so hard.

When I first met Vilma, my world was filled with darkness. I was consumed by self-loathing to the…read moreextreme. I didn't trust anyone in the world, not even my lover. I thought people were selfish narcissists who only cared about themselves when they were cold. But among them, the one I hated the most was myself. During a time when I was trapped in the abyss of self-loathing, unable to move from my bed, I felt the need for help, and I made my first call to Vilma. From that moment on, I have been seeking counseling from Vilma for over two years. She slowly nurtured my heart, as if extracting poison from long-standing wounds. For 15 years, I believed that my struggle stemmed solely from my inability to control myself. I attributed it to my excessive vanity, competitiveness, and narcissistic tendency to prioritize how others perceived me. I thought I couldn't love anyone else and that my preoccupation with myself was the cause of these symptoms. That was the first thing I told her. However, she has spent a long time counseling me and has helped change the way I think. She not only introduced me to various cognitive methods that allowed me to be more compassionate toward myself, but it was more than that. What she taught me was a warm heart. A warm heart that cares for and worries about others. As she listened to my heart, she exemplified how others can become warmer toward one another. Through her, I learned what it means to care for others, and I began to strive to become that way myself. Those experiences gradually helped me realize the message she was trying to tell me. 'I am not a bad person.' Through counseling with her, I was able to recall a trauma from 15 years ago. It was an experience that I could never forget, but one that I had buried deep within the depths of my heart, like the sea. It was a trauma that was so difficult to face that I had pretended it meant nothing at all. I couldn't even label it as a trauma because I couldn't confidently admit that I was a victim. If it weren't for her counseling, I would have carried it within me for a lifetime, as I couldn't even recognize it as a wound. I believed I didn't deserve to. When I confronted the experience that I couldn't share with anyone, she held the hand of my heart, ensuring that I wasn't afraid. She continued to support me until I no longer feared the trauma completely. Now, I no longer think of the world as solely cold. I no longer believe that people only care about themselves. Through her, I have felt and understood that people can be a source of help for one another, and just knowing that has made the world appear more hopeful and brighter to me. Thank you, Vilma. I wanted to express my gratitude properly to you, but my words fall short, and I couldn't express my thanks adequately.

The best hour of my life!…read more I've visited Gwenn multiple times over the years for different things. I've referred family and friends to her without hesitation. She is exceptional! When I try to describe how she works... MAGIC. The best hour of my life: I woke up with a neck so sore and stiff I couldn't easily lift my head off the pillow. Could not turn my head toward either shoulder. I first thought I'd go to the chiropractor. No availability for a few days. I called Gwenn. She stood up the massage table and covered me with a cozy blanket. Then she cupped the base of my skull in her hands. For an hour? A day? I was completely in the moment. I didn't feel "massage" from her hands. instead I felt a warm sensation slowly spreading throughout my entire body, head to toe. When I got up, I could turn my head nearly all the way to either shoulder and the pain was greatly reduced. She is warm, intuitive, professional, and effective. Don't hesitate, get in touch.

All I can say is that I wish I had gone to Gwenn before seeing the others. She does everything the therapists do, but in a much quicker timeframe! And she gives you better tools to rewire your brain to avoid the unwanted behavior. She helped me understand why I was behaving in a certain way AND she gave me tools to use to change my future behavior. I honestly feel like you could go to a CBT therapist for 6 months or Gwenn for a few visits and come out ahead with Gwenn. She's that smart!

She honestly helped me realize that due to my anxiety, I was framing a lot of my experiences in a very negative light, and that was impacting my daily life.

Pros: Eric is nice enough, seems genuine in his efforts to help, and communicated an approach that…read moremade sense to me on the surface. Cons: The approach seemed like a one-size-fits-many solution, and maybe it does work for many, but the deeper we got into it, the less faith I had in it as something that was capable of specifically meeting my needs, and the more it just seemed like culturally appropriated mumbo jumbo by a dude who's going to spend 3 hours telling you that you're all better over Zoom, then go take his 5th vacation of the year to Hawaii. Bottom line: If anyone is here looking to solve substance-related issues, I'd strongly encourage you to look for help through a conventional medical provider, especially if you have health insurance. That approach will take more time and effort on your part, but the data shows that it usually pays off if you're willing to do the work. I paid almost nothing for a comprehensive program at Kaiser which used a multi-modal approach and led to a lasting solution (16 months and counting as of today) for my problems. For me, Eric's services were a waste of many hundreds of dollars. Spending the same amount on out of pocket sessions with a cognitive behavioral therapist would have yielded a better outcome.
