Teresa is very astute and insightful. After just a couple of coaching sessions she had a clear understanding of my situation, my personality and my values. I tend to get stuck in over-thinking and have been going around in circles about what I want to do for a long time. Teresa helped me set realistic expectations and define clear, achievable goals to help me move forward. I would highly recommend working with her.

I sought a career coach after feeling lost for a number of years. I am so glad that I chose Teresa!…read moreWorking with Teresa has been a really positive experience. In our time together, I learned so much about myself, my actual strengths (not just things I've gotten good at because of necessity) and my metric for fulfillment. She is very perceptive and discerning. Her method really encouraged me to be more introspective and dig deeper even when I felt stuck. Her insight was invaluable in developing more objectivity and confidence in what I'm capable of. I have clearer goals now, and have a concrete plan on how to accomplish them. Her advice is practical and supportive. After working with Teresa, I feel empowered and am excited for my professional future. I highly recommend her and her services!

I want to be very fair in this review…read more On a personal level, she is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, calm, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. The sessions themselves were relaxing and thoughtfully guided, and I always felt supported and respected during our time together. However, I hired her specifically for weight loss, and unfortunately, I did not lose any weight despite committing significant time, effort, and money to the process. I truly wanted this to work -- but it simply did not produce results for me. I understand that hypnosis may work very well for some people. It just wasn't effective in my case, and I wish I had known sooner so I could have redirected my time and money elsewhere. If you're looking for a caring practitioner and are curious about hypnosis, she may be a good fit. If your primary goal is measurable weight loss, I would recommend going in with realistic expectations and understanding that results are not guaranteed.

Shalynn is extremely professional, articulate, and logical in her approach to working with the subconscious/conscious minds. She doesn't shroud hypnosis in mystery and strangeness, but rather explains it with impressive clarity. I'd recommend her to even the most rigid skeptic. After years and years of therapy, its refreshing to find something that produces real progress quickly, simply, and with ease.

Kat Allen is as good as it gets for intelligent, thoughtful, experienced, and balanced feedback and processes.

Cheers to being a real pro in your business of treating people with respect and overwhelming insights!!!! I can't recommend her enough. Excited to join her in one of her upcoming retreats.

Kat Allen and the Four Aims Center has been so important to me and to my family…read more The Four Aims Center is really a multi-faceted sanctuary tucked next to a corner of the green Lincoln Park in West Seattle, easily accessible from Fauntleroy Avenue and all parts of Seattle. The center that Kat has built is professional but very personal and warm. It invites quiet, open, discussion and revelation. The practice benefits from the environment of the building and the neighborhood. Kat's guidance and wisdom and her quiet calm approach, benefitting both mind and body, is the reason that I am writing. Kat has the life experience to understand and help uncover layers of the daily struggle we all encounter, the depth to understand and guide through personal and family of origin explorations, personal history, and the breadth to help individuals, couples, and families. She does not judge, she guides, sometimes simply listening, often reflecting. Her repertoire includes deep personal investigation and teaching experience in yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and spiritual exploration as well as traditional counseling and therapy. Kat is incredibly knowledgeable about the standard experts in psychology and therapy wile also offering a broad approach and the ability to reach for the seasoned experiences of meditative and spiritual masters. The Four Aims Center is a unique environment to unfold personal questions and explorations in a peaceful and trusting setting. If you are exploring yourself and your life and looking for guidance I highly recommend you have a conversation with Kat Allen.

As a young(er), working mother, I was seeking to connect with a life coaching professional who helped me to (i) determine my strengths/weaknesses , (ii) life priorities and (iii) a better way to realize a happier, healthier life balance in my daily life. Linda Gall was just the person to help me with this process. Linda and I met weekly over the course of a few months to discuss both my current professional questions (handling work place challenging conversations, growth in my career/job role and exploring what work roles might look like today / in the future for me). I also worked with Linda utilizing the "Career Direct" curriculum to identify my personal/professional gifts/challenges as I look towards the next chapter of my working career. Linda is patient, she is reflective and she utilizes the materials to help her clients find a greater sense of self, vocation (calling) and purpose in our lives/this world. I am a Christian and I asked Linda to integrate this lens/element into our coaching / career work. I feel closer to God and more affirmed in the gifts/purpose He has given me to serve my family, workplace and community after working with Linda. Whether you are religious or not, Linda will help you step back and determine your own Life values, goals and priorities. Thank you, Linda, for being a light in my life. I highly recommend your life coaching / professional coaching services.

After our session Amanda sent me her notes which included the top three actionable steps we spoke about that I could apply immediately to my life. I can honestly say that they have made a noticeable difference since I applied them three weeks ago - both to my emotional wellbeing and to my sleep quality. They are now part of (and will stay part of) my regular practice. She also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutritional changes one can make that will help meet your mental/physical health goals which I also appreciate. It's definitely worth your time to check out a session with Amanda.

Kind, intuitive, incredibly smart, and empathetic, she has the ability to provide guidance that meets you where you are and always leaves you feeling inspired and energized. She also is an expert in pulling out the wisdom we possess inside us, which means that I have developed a deep trust in myself and my own intuition - a life-long skill! Since working with Lena, my vision for my business has become clear, I know the next steps I need to take (or at least trust that they will appear), and I actually have fun in my work.

After only one session I felt enormous relief, and after a more few sessions my negative memories had no negativity left in them - they had become neutral or even positive! The most surprising and amazing part was that this change was permanent; it's now about 8 months ago that I had my last session and my progress remains! Other than helping me resolve negative memories she helped me boost my feelings of self-worth and confidence. Patricia is very knowledgeable and good at what she does, and she knows that her methods (working with the subconscious mind) are very powerful. She is a warm and very sweet woman who listens and truly wants to see you evolve. She will listen to you and your needs, then tailor her methods for you. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Patricia, and I will go back to her whenever a new mental obstacle appears. She demonstrated to me just how much our subconscious mind controls us, and that we quickly can change it for the better - so powerful. Thank you so much Patricia!
