What I got from my first meeting with Joy was deep listening, curious questioning and a professional match maker from toe to head. While my time knowing Joy as a client has been but 1.5 years, she has introduced me to so many incredible people from her network. With that said, she also introduced me to this spectacular human being who is now my partner in love. She is weird, has SOOOOO many overlapping experiences (Landmark education etc.) and has been instrumental in who I have become today. Joy set up my first and possibly last blind date, it was done with setting the intention i.e. location and logistics. I was to carry a flower/and a book not only as my marker, but also a great below the surface ice breaker. It was awesome, Joy now continues in my life as a friend and an igniter for deeper and sillier experiences that are glass half full and wholesome. Big hugs to you Joy, if you haven't met this human, you should. Warmly, Kyle

Skilled Attraction truly lives up to its name as a hidden gem. I worked primarily with Yasmine,…read morethe head matchmaker, though I know she has assistants utilized for coaching programs and other matchmakers for recruiting. I probably have the most unique story of all of Yasmine's clients. I initially reached out to her as she is a fellow Stanford alum. After a brief call, I signed on to her smaller matchmaking program. It was a mini program that allowed me to explore matchmaking without committing to the time and energy for a more intense program. First: I had a remarkable date with a gentleman Yasmine matched me with immediately. He was fit, funny, and handsome. We opted to do an activity date with mini golf followed by wine and small bites at a romantic venue For our second date we went on a picnic. He did the shopping, the cooking, the plating, and treated me like an absolute queen. It is hard to find men like that in our 50's! While we did not hit it off, I knew that dating men though Yasmine's mini service was helping me shift my priorities to take dating more seriously. A year later I signed on to Yasmine's more intensive program. Almost a month after that, I met this handsome, intelligent and very kind man at a get together. It was just a night out with my friends. Just a random night. Somehow it magically landed me my fiance. Yasmine is the one who encouraged me repeatedly to go out, have fun, do this, do that. She encouraged me gently many times to get out of my comfort zone. Was this a match from Yasmine? No. Would I have met him without Yasmine's service? I doubt it. Having access to her services in all its forms was life changing and I am so grateful to her. Many thanks to Yasmine and her team for making my dreams come true.

From day one, Yasmine, the head matchmaker at Skilled Attraction, treated me like a real person,…read morenot a number in a database or another client. She walked me through a full preparation period: a professional photoshoot (which I desperately needed), image consulting so I'd look my best on the photoshoot and on dates, and a deep conversation about my dealbreakers, values, and what I actually wanted in a partner. She even included extra coaching in my package, which helped me even to this day. Every month she found 3-4 genuinely great women -- the kind of matches I was excited for rather than felt obliged to meet. She personally interviewed each one, and I never felt pressured. On the rare occasion I said "no," she simply restarted the search with only a small penalty in relation to other matchmaker fees. She was also honest from the beginning with me that not everybody would say yes to my profile. That was okay too. What impressed me most was how personal the process felt. Yasmine remembered everything: my quirks, my fears, my preferences, even the things I didn't say out loud. She guided me through each step with kindness and honesty. She also diplomatically shared some of my concerns with my upcoming matches so there was transparency on both sides. I could see she deeply cared about both her client and their date equally enjoying the process. I expected this to take a long time or just be a stepping stone on my journey. But then... she found her. The woman who is now my wife. After so many years of being single, I'm married -- something I didn't think was possible for me anymore. Yasmine changed my life in a way I can never repay. There are two new women in my life now. My wife - and now our beautiful daughter. As such - I am and will always be - very thankful. FIVE STARS? TEN STARS

I asked Alicia if she would coach me on public speaking and storytelling because I have been having…read moredifficulty learning the content of several very challenging social justice workshops. As a result of my work with her this past year, I can now deliver several pieces of my workshops with more confidence and authenticity. This increased confidence has allowed me to feel more joy in doing something that is really scary but very important to me. Having regular meetings with Alicia helped me stay accountable to myself and make slow and steady progress on what felt like huge, overwhelming long term goals. While I thought I would spend all my time with her practicing my presentations, she recognized that slowing me down and giving me tools to tend to my fears, self-doubt and self-criticism first was important to eventually being able to share these powerful teachings with groups effectively by bringing more of my full self. As a result of my work with Alicia, I feel more hopeful and less discouraged in my own capacity to make the kinds of contributions I want to make. I highly recommend her as a coach and just as a very special human being.

I came to Alicia after viewing student videos from her storytelling workshops. I was so inspired by…read moreher students' authenticity and courage on stage and their ability to tell very personal stories. I had a 20-minute live presentation in January that I was stressing out about, so I contacted Alicia to help me prepare. It was sooooo helpful. Alicia and I connected easily and she made me feel very safe and comfortable while also holding me accountable and asking me a lot of questions to help form my presentation. She also taught me several tips and exercises to get back into my body and release some of the anxiety that was building up in my mind. With her compassionate guidance, I successfully presented my talk in front of a live audience of around 180 attendees. It was an incredibly rewarding experience and I'm so glad I had the support of Alicia during this time. Looking back on this time in my personal development, I realize I was going through a transition of being more expressive and expanding the way I thought about myself as a creative person. I was wanting to take more risks and come out of my shell more. This type of transition can be very scary and lonely, and I'm so glad that I had Alicia's support, guidance and non-judgemental listening while I went through the ups and downs of finding my voice. I highly recommend Alicia's coaching services for anyone that might be going through a similar transition and in need of some extra support and confidence boosting!

Her humbleness, curiosity, wanting to understand and help me walk through my challenges and fears has immensely helped me get through MANY situations in life & with my business (even when I didn't want to). With every situation always came a positive outcome. This is how powerful her techniques and working with her are. If you are looking for guidance in life or business I highly recommend Tracy. Her impact has been so powerful and life changing that I lwill always say EVERYONE NEEDS A TRACY!

Where do I start?!?! I've been working with Tracy for years now. She has been able to coach me in a…read moreway that no others could. Tracy takes the time to understand your situation and gives you hard feedback in a very gentle way. She helped me understand/see situations from the other person's perspective, which changed how I responded dramatically. (Nobody else could do this. I always got defensive.) Tracy has not only helped me professionally, but in my personal life as well! She has such a beautiful energy and that makes the interactions with her, so much more enjoyable! I highly recommend Tracy at Introspection. She's simply...the best!

I recently just finished up a 6 week program with Coach Jessy. I am so thankful for her and the…read moreexperience I had with her. I was at a point in my life where I felt stuck and I didn't know what to do. I loved my experience with Coach Jessy because it wasn't me just talking and her listening, it was more than that. She would ask me about me week and ask what I wanted to talk about. She wouldn't tell me what to do but helped to guide me. She helped me set attainable goals in my life and helped me to process aspects of my life that I was just brushing under the rug to be forgotten about and later be found again. After each session I was very encouraged and excited for the goals that I had set for myself. I found myself enjoying things that I had lost joy for. If you feel like you're stuck or just don't know what to do, give Coach Jessy a call! She will help you set goals for yourself and help process what you may be going through.

Jessy was an amazing coach and I wish I had the better vocabulary to give her the review she…read moredeserves. She makes you feel heard and listened to, especially when you're having a hard day as well! She checks in with you and makes sure your needs are met before diving into the coaching sessions. I have had therapy sessions that I wasn't quite feeling compatible, but with Jessy, I instantly felt comfortable and was looking forward to our sessions. I loved the 6 week program and having the chance and opportunity to sit down and discover things about me that I've never put a label to. She helped me discover patterns about me that I never realized. These realizations let me have a better direction and path to my higher self and practice self love. I enjoyed applying myself to each weekly goal and will definitely do my best to continue with these practices. For those wondering if they should seek a life coach, I recommend trying it out with Jessy!

Working with Emel has been one of the biggest breakthroughs in my healing journey. As soon as I…read moreread her website I knew that Emel understood many of my struggles at a deep level and that somatic healing work with her was what I needed. Seriously - just read her website and you'll understand, she gets it and has a uniquely effective approach! I have worked with so many practitioners on physical, mental, energetic, and nervous system healing, but I needed her somatic healing approach to connect the pieces and dive deeper to truly understand and break free from the pain, trauma, and patterns I was stuck in. Emel truly cares, is extremely empathetic, and works hard to understand the full picture and the root cause of issues. She made it easy to open up to her and to myself, allowing me to better understand myself, my patterns, and my triggers/reactions. Each session varies depending on my needs or desired focus, ranging from somatic healing, energy flow, and visualization work to more traditional talk therapy. The results of working with Emel were immediate and ongoing: relief from physical pain caused by stuck energy, emotions, or tension, as well as minimization of triggers, anxiety, depression, and other patterns I was stuck in. I cannot recommend working with Emel enough, regardless of what you are going through! Thank you Emel!

You know when people say that things happen for a reason? I definitely feel that meeting Emel was…read moresomething meant to happen at the right time. My partner and I were in search of a therapist and we met with several before making a choice. However, after the initial consultation, we did not need to interview with anyone else. My partner and I both felt that she was a perfect fit. Through several somatic techniques and practices, lifestyle changes were implemented in a positive way. We saw a change in our communication with each other and also with other people. I now regularly practice P.O.W.E.R (if you don't know this acronym...book your appointment with Emel) and mindfulness in all avenues of my life. Thank you Emel I will surely book again if your services are needed. :)

I knew these things were lacking but couldn't find the time to address those needs. Then the pandemic happened. I lost my job and found myself at a crossroads. I could choose to keep going down a path which no longer served me or I could choose to move towards growth. I knew there was a force inside of me that wanted explore this but I wasn't quite sure how to go about it. It was at that point when I decided to seek the help of a life coach. From my very first session with Natalie, everything flowed naturally, even over Zoom calls. She makes me feel like I'm talking to an old friend, and that I am in a safe space to open up and express myself. She has the most supportive, kind, gentle spirit. Throughout our sessions Natalie has taught me how to show up for myself. She has guided me inward and outward to unearth my values and strengths - essentially helping me live my best life and unlock my true potential.  She is truly gifted with an innate ability to help others, I'm so happy that I found her and can continue to work with her!

Less than a month later I had my first appointment with her and never looked back. WOW!!! It's AMAZING that all she needed was my birthday, the time and place I was born. We had a two part session on zoom. Before our first meeting I received a very detailed spreadsheet of the different areas we were focusing on. Rhetta took on role of narrator and in a very playful role walked me through past life stuff. We discussed traits that I brought in from a past life, traits I have picked up in this lifetime and so on. Let's just say my explanation of her spreadsheet is not doing it Justice. Our second meeting was a follow up session to see if I had any questions. I HIGHLY recommend Rhetta. She is an extraordinary human and she excels at her craft.
