Unfortunately I had a bad experience with Alma La Vida. I complied with all the exercises that were…read moregiven to me (personality tests, SWOT analysis, etc), and the coach I had most of the time did not read anything I submitted until the day of the session. I realized most of these things they could just have had me fill out before my sessions started instead of using my money to go over tests available online. My coach was not at all prepared to speak with me when our sessions started. The sessions ended up me helping her catch up on what she had missed. I thought regardless, she must have some ideas of what path I could take and could lay out a plan via email to help me through. No, she said I would have a hard time finding a job (even though it's literally her job to help me find one!). My last session in what I'd pre-paid for ended up being ignored. After asking around to a few other career coaches on LinkedIn, one of them actually gave me some free advice on next steps to take and said I'd been scammed. It's all about marketing yourself, and she suggested some fields where my specific skills could be really valuable. ALV said they would offer my last session to someone more suited to me, but my question was, why wasn't this person offered to me in the first place? Isn't it their job to pair you with someone who is professional and understands your skillset? I asked them if they would address any of the wasted sessions that didn't help me at all, maybe in the form of sessions through this better career coach. They said no, and said it was my fault for not knowing that I had a bad mentor. I was really upset. They said it's not typical of them to issue refunds, but they'd refund for my last session if I didn't want to use it. Really a complete waste, and they are indeed very expensive. They do not go the extra mile for their clients.

Don't waste your time. They call you to offer you a $435/month career coaching plan. If you say…read moreno, the call ends. I guess they expect you to sign up for something without even seeing if their consulting makes sense, don't waste your time.

Working with Claudia over the course of six EFT sessions was truly transformative. From the very…read morebeginning, she created a safe and supportive space where I felt seen, heard, and understood. Her intuitive guidance was incredible--she was able to gently but accurately pinpoint emotional triggers that I hadn't fully recognized on my own. Through tapping, I began to notice real shifts in how I processed my emotions. Situations at my workplace that once felt overwhelming became much more manageable as I worked through them using the tools and awareness Claudia helped me develop. I experienced a sense of clarity, calm, and emotional release that made a tangible difference in my day-to-day life. Claudia has a unique gift for blending intuition with EFT in a way that feels both grounding and empowering. I'm so grateful for the progress I've made through our sessions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to heal, gain insight, and move forward with greater peace and confidence.

Nancy is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone in need of some serious organizing/downsizing!…read moreFrom our very first phone call I was extremely impressed. My husband and I hired Nancy to assist my mother in organizing (years worth of clutter) and downsizing before a long distance move. We live in Florida and could only do so much on our trips back and forth and Nancy was the glue that held things together in what was a very overwhelming situation for my mother. Nancy worked closely with our whole family and went above and beyond what we expected. She is kind, patient, positive, respectful, and just an all around pleasure to work with. She was excellent with my mother, who is older and suffers from cognitive loss and she really rolled her sleeves up and got the work done.... helping my mom sort through all her possessions, connecting us to a paper shredding company for destroying years worth of unnecessary paper, helping get appraisals for valuable items before the move, organizing for furniture to be taken by an auction house, making many trips to haul donations to the Salvation Army, shipping items to me in Florida, helping with the movers on moving day... the list goes on. Her help was worth every penny and without her things would not have gone nearly as smoothly. Nancy gave us something I didn't expect during this difficult transition and that was peace of mind. We are extremely grateful, thank you Nancy!!!

TLDR: I accepted a new offer at Capital One. The time I spent with Wilma gave me the confidence I…read moreneeded to know I would nail the interview process. Details: I highly recommend Wilma if you are prepping for job interviews and feeling nervous, discouraged or any of the other feelings that come along with the search for a new job. I was a few months into my job search. I was getting quick responses from several companies just based on my resume which was encouraging. I'd talk to the recruiter and they'd quickly pass me onto the next stage (interviews with the lead or team). I always felt they went well but didn't materialize into an offer. I had an opportunity at Capital One that I really wanted to nail so I called on Wilma who was referred to me by my husbands business networking group. When I knew Wilma and I were going to be spending an hour drilling mock interview questions, I was very nervous. But it was anything but. Shes incredibly thoughtful and direct, while also building up my confidence. She also provided a sheet of interview Qs to ask beyond the typical "why do you like working here". I asked everyone I spoke with the culture Q she shared -- "whose leadership style in the organization inspires you and why" -- and EVERY single person paused to say "that's a great question" before giving me very different responses which made me feel good about the company to hear great things about very different people at Capital One. I will keep your information on hand for the future and would be happy to recommend your services to anyone I know!

As a teacher for the past 12 years with many (what I thought to be) niche skills, I did not think I had many options for a new career. With the help of career assessments and coaching services, Wilma helped me figure out the value of my transferable skills. Wilma's personality, confidence, and humor are contagious. I believe that without her, I would not have gotten the first job for which I applied and interviewed. She was so understanding and supportive of me from the very beginning. I had to pause my career search so that I could focus on my mental health while working at my previous job, and Wilma was very patient with me. She maintained the same high level of understanding, support, and patience as I navigated taking career assessments, job searching, coaching, resume/cover letter writing, networking, interview preparation, and negotiation. Wilma made herself available to me, she listened to me, and provided me with great advice and insights. She was open, honest, and judgment-free. She is a breath of fresh air, and I was truly impressed with her and her company from start to finish. I highly recommend investing in yourself and hiring Life Working to help you at such an important time in your life. You will learn so much about yourself along the way! Thank you, Wilma, and thank you, Life Working!

Since finishing YB, I've graduated college, moved to a new city, started a full-time job, successfully transitioned to a second job, and really have embraced adulthood. Life is not without its bumps and I'm still someone who deals with depression and anxiety. But that's a part of life and I'm not scared to face all the emotions and feelings that once derailed me and my family. I was talking with a fellow alumni from my time at YB and we continue to look back fondly at the experience. YB was a special place that fostered vulnerability and self-discovery. Again, in the moment, there were definite struggles. It was the most challenging work of my life. But I feel proud of the work I was able to accomplish and have so much love for my therapist, the other doctors, the staff, the patients, everyone who cultivated a community at YB that allowed me to be, well, me. I've taken this experience with me into other environments and settings that has allowed me to really thrive as a more confident and loving person. I sincerely hope young adults and families who feel hopeless take a look at Yellowbrick. It's an investment that saved my life and I will forever be thankful.
