He was extremely professional and his suggestions provided valuable insight regarding the essays. He seems to gently guide his students on their own path without being overbearing.

I originally left a one star review since we didn't get the service or quality of service we had…read moreexpected. We talked after I submitted my review. And James said he would refund our money if we took down our review. But yelp says not to do this. So I have updated my review to 3 stars since James was quick to refund our money if we were not satisfied, which we are not. We still don't believe his services and poor time management warrant the $3.5k that we had paid. The only reason we had hired him was for him to help our child maximize their chance to get into USC early action, which hurt their chances since they submitted their application earlier than in the normal application. He had said it wasn't likely for our child to get accepted to our child, but this wasn't mentioned to us since that was what we were paying him for. The application was due 11/1, and on 10/27, I sent him a detailed email since the essays were far from being ready including punctuation and grammatical errors. So we actually ended up having to advise our teen and give them feedback on their application since it was nowhere near done 4-5 days before the deadline. We were stressed out about the lack of progress made, and we ended up working with our child to help finish their essays. If we had not hired James, we would have had our child apply regular decision with a deadline of 1/10, which would have strengthened their application. I also felt the quality of their feedback was not that helpful since we had given similar feedback without his help. But since we had the deadline of 11/1, we thought it would help to have his help. In the end, we didn't feel that it was worth it, especially not for $3.5k. The best thing I can say is that James values his online application. And he is willing to stand behind his word. But I don't think he should expect us to remove our review completely, especially since yelp advises against this. So it's possible he may be a good fit for you. And if it's not, hopefully he will stand by his word as he has done in our case.

OMG what a exceptional experience! After cleansing my home from an apparently disgruntled visitor,…read moreIsabella also cleansed my girlfriend's home. Her home was ordered by the court to be sold almost 4 years ago but the ex imploded every potential sale. Isabella cleansed the home of the ex's toxic hold, and then announced that the home would be sold in 3 days, also stating a dollar amount and even a possible bidding war. On day 3 an interested buyer showed up and made an offer. On day 4 another buyer showed up and also made an offer. The owners' accepted the higher bid and the sale closed in 5 weeks, at the price Isabella stated. Now both owners can move on with their lives. While I have subscribed to this energetic shift my entire life, and have had a plethora of experiences that can be explained no other way, Isabella's gifts are very clearly perfection in motion! Simply spectacular, thank you Isabella!

I didn't know where to start, but I noticed that so many of Teresa's reviews had REAL results, like folks actually landing a new career after their time with her. Thankfully, I'm happy to report the same -- and wouldn't be able to say that without her. The Career Clarity Course is a great way to get your wheels turning on possible career changes, and it offers tons of great questions and quizzes to help open your mind to career paths you wouldn't have before. And when combined with in-person sessions with Teresa, it's an incredibly helpful set of tools, since she provides a ton of great, real-time feedback and support that's flexible to your situation. Basically, if you're on the fence like I was, just make the smart move and invest in Teresa's course. You definitely won't regret it!

The session that truly changed my life was this year, when she helped me confront the inner hurting child in me. She spent so much time to actively listen to my issues, to hear the pain I was going through. She helped me unlock a younger version of myself, face her and taught me how to better care for her. I've taken those skills everyday in life with me since that session. It has positively affected my relationships, the trust in myself and has helped heal me. I've told so many friends about this experience and they were all in awe. Thank you Erika , I hope we have a chance to meet again soon. Wishing you life will always treat you kindly.

I was someone who was not very spiritual, let alone seeker help through holistic means. However, over the past year I came to understand my spiritual side and knew I wanted to find a healer. I found Erika through Yelp and after researching reviews, her website, and having a free consultation I decided to book my first session. Since then I have purchased a few more sessions and also referred my sister. My sessions started with a guided meditation which felt incredible. There are thousands of guided meditations online (e.g. Youtube), but having one at the start is a session with Erika felt different and more uplifting. The sessions would consist of topics that I needed help with. The topics vary depending on the day and what I felt boiling since the last session. They consist of but not limited to life in general, personal relationships, work, past trauma, and personal development. Without getting into the details, at the end of each session, I felt like I had discovered something deep inside me that has been blocked. Erika helped extract whatever it is that has been giving me issues and provided me with guidance moving forward. She also me cut some knots that had been holding me back. Erika is very gifted at what she does. She provides a very comfortable and safe environment that allows you to share personal information that you may not share else where. All of my sessions were conducted online through zoom due to covid. I don't believe there would be a different if it was online or in person as I am still getting the same healing.
