My daughter & I have worked with Candace for the past several months & have attended a few of her workshops. I have had so much fun learning how to make positive & lasting connections with my girl. And for her to learn how to navigate these, sometimes, tumultuous & exciting teenage times with a thoughtful plan involving good choices & decisions on a daily basis. As well as, building her confidence & self esteem all while wanting the best for herself, her teams, friends, family, school & community. Candace is amazing in working through the problem areas where we can get stuck & focusing on the positive accomplishments to keep her/us motivated. Not to mention, helping me, as the parent, along the way! Thank you Candace for offering your education, wisdom & insight to me & my girl! read more

This past summer I received career coaching from Candace. I'm on the younger scale of people usually looking for career coaching, having just graduated college with a degree I wasn't really that interested in and kept using outdated resume/cover letter strategies from people that hadn't been looking for jobs in decades. Candace was able to show me the modern approaches to the job search and was able to put me in the mental space to break away from what I was scared of in the pursuit of what I really wanted to do, empowering me to take the next step without being paralyzed by my anxiety about the risks. If you're on the fence about getting coaching from Candace, just do it - you'll find aid in places that you hadn't expected. read more

I wasn't fully aware of the profound results self-hypnosis can yield in the hands of a highly qualified and experienced professional. Candace completely blew me away, not just with her hypnosis therapy. She is a true counselor at heart. Her approach and methodology succeeded where countless others failed (Believe me I tried most of them). Since my program, I continue to experience a significant decrease in overall anxiety and a noted difference in being generally happy, feeling like I can conquer the day, and newly ignited since of being in control of my life. Be ready for your life to change!!! read more

We've been fortunate to have Candace Avila's Smart Cookies for Girls offered as an after school activity in our school. Through this program, my elementary aged daughter has learned bite sized lessons which she can use to navigate her through many situations. As a mom, I love the underlying girl empowerment theme which is heartfelt and encouraging . For these reasons, we have sought out other classes as mother and daughter - most recently a mother/daughter workshop at Sacred Arts Studio. I appreciate Candace's knowledge, dedication and supportive role as we guide our girls into becoming women. read more

With a promotional interview on the horizon, my anxiety spiked and past experiences that hadn't gone so well came back to haunt my mind. I knew I needed to do something, and try something new to help. That's when I turned to looking into hypnotherapy. Confidence and self worth have always been a struggle for me. Candace was able to get me to a place almost immediately to where I was assured of who I was and what I had to offer. In addition, how to handle sharing this part of myself with others in an interview setting. You can't put a price on self assurance and confidence. read more

Candace is a thoughtful, inspiring coach who knows when to push you, and comes to the business side of coaching with practical experience in growing her own business. read more

I contacted Candace because I was having a lot of trouble studying for the LSAT due to anxiety. She custom-tailored a short program for me that I believe helped a great deal.
