From our…read morevery first session, she brought structure, accountability, and practical tools that helped me stay focused and organized, starting with decluttering the middle room in my home. She's a thoughtful listener who creates space to share openly, and her support helped shift my mindset during moments of mental blocks, doubt, and overwhelm. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I now manage my time with greater clarity and confidence. I absolutely recommend Maja as a life coach to anyone looking to transform their life and reach their full potential!

I found that therapist in Luna. When I came to her, I was carrying the weight of trauma from domestic violence. I felt overwhelmed. I was also unsure therapy would help and going to be the best use of the limited time I had available. From our very first session, Luna created a space where I felt genuinely understood and that this was a person who could give me resources and practical tools to implement. She met me with compassion, patience, intelligence, cultural awareness, science, and unwavering support while also empowering me to do the difficult work of healing. She didn't just help me process my pain-- she gave me the tools that I've used for years now to manage PTSD triggers and anxiety. Because of her guidance, I didn't just move forward from the darkest season of my life--I rediscovered myself. I found my center and my strength again. Her impact on my life is something I will carry forever. If you are looking for a therapist who is compassionate, exceptionally skilled, trauma-informed, and genuinely committed to helping people transform their lives, I cannot recommend Luna enough. I will always be grateful to her.

My stepdaughter Catalina began her search & application process for graduate schools relatively…read morelate in the process, with just a few weeks before the deadline. Right off the bat, David was very accommodating with his time. From the initial consultation, I could tell that David was very skilled at determining her strengths & weaknesses & how they fit into various graduate MBA programs. He quickly got an intrinsic understanding of ''who she is'' & was able to devise an action plan to highlight her strengths for her school of choice. Based on a couple initial conversations we had, he generated a terrific list of core values which helped drive the rest of the process. Just to be safe, I shopped around a bit and found that David's fees were very favorable compared to some of the other well-known admissions strategists around the country, in some cases less than half as much. So we decided to stick with David. David would promptly answer our questions & provided strong recommendations for my daughter on how to articulate herself in the both the application and essay. He was always available either by phone or email and always made us feel like his top priority when we needed his assistance. I have to recognize that we called him perhaps much more than we should have, but he took it all in stride and was extremely accommodating, reassuring, patient and attentive. He was also excellent in researching the most recent admission trends for her top choice university so we could appropriately strategize the application and pitch her strengths in a way that helped turn the tables on the college admissions process. I would highly recommend David if you are looking for an expert in the graduate admissions process. He's worth every penny. - TT (stepdaughter), admitted to Stanford MBA

His style of working with high school students is very easy-going and patient, asking inquisitive questions to help them identify their own approach and highlights throughout the complicated and intense application process. We started with David a bit late with our first child, but David quickly helped him catch-up and stay organized. With our second, we were able to involve David earlier in the process which helped space out the work better. He and his team were equally responsive and timely with their support. Thank you David!

When I was a nurse in two Hospitals in the Bay Area, I worked with Sandra and thought her…read moreprofessional and protective of her clients. When I had both my babies she was my #1 choice for a birth doula. She held many, many private sessions with me to prepare me for both births. She was on call seven days / week.

I cannot imagine birthing without her by my side.

I had tried a few different "regular" therapists in the past, but they weren't very helpful because they just expected me to do all the talking , and soon enough, I felt like I might as well just be talking to a wall :( Sandra, on the other hand will engage with you and offer her advice. She is wise, kind, and very funny. She was a comedian earlier in her life, and has a great sense of humor! (she will help you stay positive and won't let you take yourself too seriously ;) She is trained in Depth Hypnosis and Peruvian Shamanism. ( the real deal, check out her website for more info about these) Have you ever met an angel? Had part of your soul or power retrieved? Or had someone drum over you, sending vibrational medicine to your core? Well, I have, and it feels freaking amazing !!! Would recommend her to anyone who's ready to heal and wants to dive in and do the work. I also want to add that she's willing to take a few clients a month sliding scale which is so generous of her. This woman could easily charge $500/session no joke! Love you Sandra!

At the beginning of our work together I was at a crossroads in my career path. With thoughtful guidance, Travis helped me make a significant career change. In order to make this change, I was tasked with applying to a certification program which involved extensive writing about my past as well as an interview process. Travis helped me every step of the way and I was accepted into the program! Travis was available and responsive when I needed quick-turnaround feedback on writing drafts and he deftly coached me in preparing for the interview. I cannot recommend Travis highly enough. I strongly believe that a good coach brings out the best in a person and a stellar coach takes it one step further by helping the person access their most true self. Travis did this for me and I am very grateful for his guidance and support.

I came to Kathy to help heal episodic urinary issues that my urologist determined were…read morepsychosomatic, not physical complications. My therapist recommended I find a Holistic Pelvic Care therapist to align with my current spiritual and mind/body connection journey. Kathy's approach and protocols were immediately helpful. I am permanently cured of my episodic urinary issues. Unexpectedly but gratefully, I am also now more intimately connected to my pelvic bowl and the Divine Feminine. I am a childfree woman and would recommend Holistic Pelvic Floor care for everyone (men and women), even if they feel they might not have a reason other than self-care, increasing mind/body connection, or general health & wellness. After four Pelvic Floor sessions, I continued with several hypnotherapy sessions to heal my inner child/children and protector parts; to find more flow and ease in everyday life. I found her hypnotherapy approach (Ancestral Soul Retrieval) to be nearly identical to Internal Family Systems (IFS) work, which I was very familiar with. My hypnotherapy sessions were astoundingly productive and healing. I did not expect so much information to come up in such a short amount of time and without plant medicines (though I found many similarities). I came to each session with a specific intention, which was essential for my quick progress. I was able to connect with, heal and integrate four specific young parts who were stuck in the past with much shame and guilt. I continue to work with them and they are still healed; I appreciate that this healing work seems permanent almost a year later. I plan to go back to Kathy in a few months to work through and heal ancestor or past-lives energy. I found Kathy to be kind, warm, welcoming, helpful, understanding, non-judgmental, and wise. She also has a good sense of humor! I am grateful to have found someone I can trust and open up to in new ways; different than the therapy I had been working with before Kathy. The care and attention I received from her through Pelvic Care and Hypnotherapy was an integral part of my healing. I would recommend Kathy to everyone; all of us would benefit from a supportive, wise, healing environment to work through stuck energy.

First in hypnotherapy for general mental health, then for doula classes ahead of our first baby, and most recently for acupuncture to address some joint and lower body pains. It's wonderful to see Kathy apply her different learnings and disciplines to her growing repertoire of offerings. She is so caring, and creates a safe environment to explore. Like someone else noted, I also agree, Kathy is an extraordinary healer and guide who has helped open up some energy both physically and emotionally. Most recently I started visiting Kathy for joint pains in my hands, but a little later my lower back went out and she helped me with cupping, healing touch, and acupuncture. (She made an urgent house call and with cupping, needles, and lots of care, helped me get through the pain so I could finish the day filled with some important investor presentations!) After months of calm, I recently went back because of some resurfacing lower back and primarily glut pain. We reviewed my supplements and herbal medicine plan, but then during practice she noted in addition to physical strains, I could be really holding something emotionally which was triggering the pain. Her observation led me to realize some things right there on the bed, and she helped guide me through some release - it was magical. I'm going back to continue the acupuncture, but also layer in some hypnotherapy to better help release some of the emotionally induced physical tension that's causing so much pain.
