I trust that many people had great experiences. However, my experience with Laura was really…read moredifficult for several reasons. During a session we were discussing how I really wanted to tap into my healthy aggression because of how much it supports getting me out of the dorsal component of my nervous system and allows me to access self energy (I learned this from Peter Levine and his facilitators and found it so true). For a good 20 minutes Laura told me how, essentially, I was wrong and that wasn't what was going to heal my trauma. There was so so so much pushback from her that I felt incredibly invalidated and gaslit. Instead of asking questions she was basically telling me I was wrong. Additionally, during an IFS session she kept telling me to "bring my exile to the present to be with me", and I kept reiterating that it felt unsafe to do that and there was resistance from it, but she just kept telling me to do it.... She also canceled a session right before meeting me because she forgot she had something to do (??). AND she types every..single..word...you say, like literally types the entire time you're meeting, without stopping. And her keyboard is so loud. She said it's the only way she can track our sessions. So that is super distracting to just hear someone typing when you're trying to get a meditative state for IFS, and also takes away from the connection of feeling someone's presence. I've worked with a bunch of IFS therapist (my new therapist is level 3 trained and works closely with Dick Schwartz) and it's a super different experience and feels much more aligned, safe and effective. Best of luck if you work with her!

I was mentally broken, physically broken, spiritually broken, financially in a very dark place ... I had just went through losing one business partner to Suicide in Tulum and a best friend and a past business partner to a mysterious murder or suicide in San Antonio. On top of that the Million dollar business I built the new interim CEO stepped in and decided to stop honoring my three year signed compensation agreement and was owed a LOT of money. That put me in a major tailspin and depression cycle. I was filled with anger and rage from the betrayal and spiritual, financial, and emotional attack. Doing business with a Narcissist can be extremely toxic. I had my entire three years erased by a man who wanted to replace me, consolidate control, rewrite narratives, and cut out my position and ability to earn a living. ON top of all that I was the one who built the brand and business. I was at the lowest of my low. Could barely afford the cash to put together the money for the session. I was nervous going in, but prayed and meditated, I was guided by two powerful healers who made me FEEL safe and seen, it was truly an inward journey, breathwork, journaling, intention setting, letting go, eyes closed, guided music soundtrack, I surrendered to the experience and the protocol, I was able to fully connect with the loving divine, process my past, see toxic patterns, trauma bonds, soul ties, and energetic processes that I must clean up, was able to get downloads from my childhood and traumatic experiences that radically shaped my identity as an adult, was able to understand my Mom's pain and trauma by witnessing even her own childhood experiences, was able to feel diving healing, process the suicide and murder of two friends and business partners, and understand my role in attracting a business partner who was a narcissist and was stealing money from me. I was able to understand my unworthiness and poor self-image had attracted that toxic person and parasite into my life. I was able to have profound HEALING eyes closed laying on the floor, was able to detach from my body and fully let go into pure nothingness, able to transcend this 3d time line and radically HEAL. I came out washed, clean, forgiving, forgiven, HEALED. light as a FEATHER. I love the WithinCenter and AWKN Ranch as its such a beautiful place to heal and connect. With a yoga center, temple, pickleball courts, pool, saunas, cold plunges, hot tub, fire pit, friendly, helpful, loving staff, all in a beautiful ranch like setting. I could truly live there, ha. My life is such a 180 degree turn in my life. I have now attracted circumstances, people, business partners, investors, friends, advisors, new business, new income, new pathways to freedom and abundance that I only dreamed of. But it took me having the COURAGE to LOOK WITHIN, GO WITHIN, and HEAL WITHIN! The journey is always INWARDS, not outside people, places, circumstances, things, ideas. Its an INWARD game, once you figure that out you can take full responsibility in your life for everything and everyone. I am so deeply healed, blessed, transformed by the entire staff. I am profoundly GRATEFUL and deeply touched by the support I've received and most profoundly RECEIVED. I am deeply grateful for the Entire Staff of WithinCenter and AWKN Ranch and especially William and Mariya. They made me feel so safe, seen, supported, valued, cherished, and loved. I am forever connected to them in the most profound healing and positive way possible. I AM Healing and I AM Healed!

The Within Center has completely changed my life. Within is such a beautiful place in so many ways…read more I can't begin to describe how grateful I am for finding this place. I came to the Within Center in such a dark place- I was so lost and broken. I was extremely stuck in my healing journey, coming from a past filled with trauma that years of therapy could not fix. After going through their month long retreat program, I've been able to completely change my life. I've been able to process my traumas, remove any blocks, and emerge as a completely different person in the best possible way. One of the best things about Within is the people. Sarah Slack (Retreat Manager & Guide) has had such an impact on my life. She is at the center with the retreat clients during the day & will be able to help you with any questions about the program & will also be a listening ear if you ever need to talk.

Sarah has taught me how to have compassion & grace for myself and others. It's been such a blessing to have her in my life. She's helped me in so many ways throughout my stay here and I'm so grateful for her. Taylor is the Chef at Within. She makes the most amazing & healthy meals. You'll see her throughout the day- whether it's cooking or hanging out with the clients. Taylor has been such a key factor in my healing journey. She brings so much fun to the center in so many ways. She is such a joy to be around and will always make you laugh. She continuously teaches me how to find joy in the little things. She is always looking out for the clients and making sure they're taken care of. I'm so grateful for her & all of the energy that she brings. Luke Carver is the Admissions Director at Within. You'll see him hanging out around the center with the clients & also running a couple of the classes there. I am continuously blown away by the amount of love he shows for others. He is such a genuine & humble soul. He has been such a great teacher to me in my healing journey. Luke has taught me all about gratitude and how to be grateful. He brings so much light with him wherever he goes. It's been such a blessing to have him as a teacher & friend throughout my stay here- and I'm forever grateful.

I was in therapy with Katherine for about 6 months. Therapy sessions with her consisted of me…read moretalking most of the time, and her barely giving me any feedback. But I was in a bad place and desperately needed to talk to a professional which is not what I found with her at all. She is so unprofessional that she even ate on two separate occasions while in therapy with me. It is so wrong for a counselor to eat while in session with a patient. As a patient you pay lots of money for a counselor to listen and talk to you. How was she going to counsel me with her mouth full of food? This was only one of the many signs of what a poor counselor she is. The reason I stopped being her patient is because I had to cancel an appointment with less than 24 hr notice. My appointment was at 9 am the next day and I cancelled the day before around 5pm. When asking her, if she was going to charge me any cancellation fees she said yes because it was less than 24 hrs. I asked her if she could maybe not charge me for this cancellation, she agreed to charge a little less. But then she started to be really rude towards me. My problem with that was that in the past she cancelled two of my appointments with less than 24 hours and as a patient I had to accept this and was totally understanding of her situation. Other counselors have had no problem with me cancelling as long as I do it the day before. She also lacks an appointment reminder system. I always communicated with her in a polite way and that's not what I got in return. A couple of months after I stopped being her patient I was absolutely surprised when I found out she was still charging my credit card (she likes to keep her client's cards on file). At that point she had overcharged about $187. When I contacted her about this very serious issue she was vague about her reasons, blaming my insurance company. I had to waste a lot of time fixing this problem. She was not helpful at all, when I asked her for a refund, she not only did not refund me the money but charged my credit card again! Overall she charged my card more than $350!!! On top of everything she told me to stop contacting her when she still owed me all that money. At that point I had to go to my bank and dispute her charges. About 10 days after this dispute, she did refund me the money and the overcharges, but this says a lot about how organized she is. I obviously do not recommend anyone to have counseling with this woman. Besides the nightmare with her overcharging my credit card, I think a mental health professional should be more caring, respectful, patient and sensible about her patients.
