"If you are going to clean the house, you have to see the dirt."…read more - Louise Hay In November 2017, I was seeking an EFT Practitioner and came across Jackie's listing on Yelp. Our free phone consultation sold me based on her friendliness, compassion, and knowledge of this therapeutic technique that I've casually dabbled in since 2016. I instantly purchased several sessions. Back when I first started working with her, she was helping me with stress and anxiety. Because I had such impactful, life-changing, and lasting results, I reached out to her again this year to help me with other challenges because I knew that Jackie would be the right person to help facilitate these shifts. I've only met Jackie virtually via Skype and Zoom. This makes it super convenient for appointments since I don't need to commute to an office and can get the most out of the EFT exercises from the comfort of my home. I like that Jackie affirms my thoughts/feelings, and often tells me she resonates with what is on my mind. It helps me release any judgments toward myself. Jackie's also my biggest cheerleader, celebrating any big shifts which occur every session. I feel very safe to feel, emote, cry, smile, and laugh during my video calls. I often feel like I overcome obstacles and achieve some state of emotional peace after our sessions. She also records parts of our sessions and sends me the audio so I can revisit and practice the exercises on my own. My most recent experience with Jackie is something I super highly recommend! I purchased a 4-session bundle which includes 8-weeks worth of recorded EFT exercises to do at home. These recordings are just as good as her video call sessions and really helpful for maintaining self-care in between video calls. I started this 4-session bundle right when the stay-at-home order started. So for me, quarantine involved a lot of much-needed self-care! :) Why do I do this instead of traditional therapy? Because even though insurance would help pay for traditional therapy, I'd prefer to invest my out-of-pocket $$$ in something that is much more effective for long-term results. There is a lot of value here. And yes, I've tried other unconventional forms of therapy. EFT works for me and maybe it will work for others too. To each their own. That said, if anyone is looking for an EFT practitioner, I'll be the first person to say, contact Jackie! She's awesome! But be warned, you gotta be willing to go deep. Like, childhood stuff. Amazing things will happen if you do.

First, let me say I really didn't know what this technique entailed when I first contacted Jackie-I…read moremight have been a little skeptical if I did. She scheduled a free 30 minute appointment to discuss both what I was looking for and what she would/could do. It sounded valuable-and I was feeling pretty hopeless-so I signed up for five sessions, which were done via Skype. I won't go into a lot of detail about tapping and how it works (ask Jackie directly!) but I can honestly say this was the best, most life changing experience I could imagine. Jackie is really supportive and gets to the real issues. To say she changed my life and saved my marriage (actually after 3 sessions) is not hyperbole. I can't thank her enough and I think that her techniques can change all aspects of your life.

I'm writing this review about a year later after our 2 sessions. After getting laid off from my…read morecorporate job of a high position, losing my girlfriend, dog and a list of other atrocities I was lost and broken in my life. I was willing to do whatever it took to get back on my feet after numerous attempts at therapy whether it was through my insurance provider or private practice. I was a bit skeptical at first about hypnotherapy and life coaching because of the heavy price tag attached but here's what happened. We had a counseling session to see what was going on in my life and how we could go about regaining my clarity and confidence. She helped me realize that there was a lot of past trauma that I had to forgive myself coupled with the bitter truth that my self-destructive tendencies may not have been my fault but is ultimately my responsibility to address. I'm not too sure if the hypnotherapy programmed my subconscious that allowed me to take more action in my life than floating around. The month after our sessions I made more progress in regaining my health by choosing healthier foods and cutting out smoking. I also found a new hobby of swing trading and opening myself up to diversifying and growing my wealth from my savings, severance check and Unemployment Benefits. I ended up doing extremely well as I was confident in my buying and selling stocks by reading trends in the market and a little bit of intuition in the tech industry. Even if I was an emotional wreck I didn't let it affect my decision making when it came to trading. After a year later I have made much more progress in my personal development and career. I ended up founding my own marketing business, travel extensively as well as go on to work for other major companies within my career field.

We hired Dawn to officiate our wedding and to guide us through "wedding preparation year" as a couple. These counseling sessions were so grounding and anchoring for us as we navigated daily life and planning the big day. We use her tools all the time. She offers tactical and tangible skills and tools while also holding space for feelings. We cannot recommend her enough!

I was on the search for someone to help me navigate the next stage of my career, and I thankfully…read morefound Dawn after meeting with quite a few other coaches prior. I was specifically looking for someone that was open-minded, encouraging, but would also be willing to challenge me and keep me honest on my progress. I find that Dawn has a unique mix of abilities: - She sees the big picture and can help you envision your life beyond the next month or even year - She is realistic and can help you get back on track if you slip a little - She very quickly understands who you are as a person, and can potentially see things in you that you may not necessarily see in yourself - She brings a huge amount of positivity to help you pursue your goals I can absolutely say that I would not be as far as I am in my professional journey if it weren't for Dawn's support and inspiring encouragement.

I am a born skeptic. I'm cynical. Hypnotherapy sounded like exactly the kind of thing I would roll…read moremy eyes at. But I was in a rough spot. Work wasn't where I wanted it to be, I was trying to figure out my relationship, and I generally felt like I needed to get out of my own way. So I took a leap and went to see Kristine, while still being pretty convinced that hypnotherapy wasn't a real thing and certainly wasn't going to work on me. I did 4 initial sessions with her and something changed. Not because she waved a magic wand or suddenly turned me into a different person. She gave me tools. She helped change my outlook. She gave me confidence, a mantra I could actually use, and a way to keep myself in check when my brain wanted to go in 15 different directions. She helped me understand what actually needed my attention and what didn't. She also opened me up to manifestation and the law of attraction, 2 things I probably would have made fun of not that long ago. And then, shortly after our sessions, work picked up immensely. Other opportunities started showing up. Things in my personal life started becoming clearer. Call it manifestation, call it mindset, call it getting out of your own way. I don't really care what you call it. Something worked. I'm not going to tell anyone that hypnotherapy is magic or that you walk out of Kristine's office and suddenly your entire life changes. You have to be open to it. You have to do some work yourself. And most importantly, you have to believe that the things you want are actually possible for you. Kristine helps light the path. She gives you the tools and perspective to do something with it yourself. A huge thank you to Kristine for her kindness, patience and for helping me realize that a lot of what I was looking for was stuff I already knew deep down was mine to receive. I just needed a little help getting out of my own way.

Kristine is amazing. She saw my son who was experiencing anxiety. He displayed anger and…read morefrustration with his life. I saw the difference in him almost immediately.

Kathryn is simply the best…read more She's been coaching me for almost a year now and it's truly been transformative. What started as professional coaching has become personal coaching as well - as both influence one another. Her coaching is honest, non-judgmental, empathetic, and filled with endless wisdom. She's helped me exercise healthy boundaries, understand my worth, and she does an amazing job of holding you accountable for what you want and the steps it takes to get there. I can't recommend her enough. If you are lucky enough to be coached by Kathryn, it's a real gift.

Years later, I'm very happy that she's chosen to pursue life coaching...because now I don't have to feel guilty taking up so much of her time chatting about my existential problems! I've long dealt with issues feeling like I'm not actualizing my potential enough or not living life the right way. In just a few sessions, Kathryn provided me with tools and resources to help mitigate the "voice in my head" and enable me to focus on what's important. If you are feeling uncertain or apprehensive about your life, career, relationships, or similar, I would wholeheartedly recommend a chat with Kathryn.

Working with Teresa was a real game-changer. I needed someone who could provide action-able…read moreresources and tools that could help me make a fairly major career pivot. 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!
