So, I originally wrote this review almost four months ago. Julie LaCroix saw the review and…read moreresponded to it. However, did she do anything to make sure she answered the main element of the complaint (that she won't stop spamming me in spite of numerous requests over the years - including those apparently only decorative "unsubscribe" links in her emails?). No. Screen shot for proof. Draw what conclusions you will. Original Review and Comment on Response: I had two appointments with Julie LaCroix several years ago. I ultimately thought the sessions were a waste of time and (quite a lot of) money. She decided my skill set made me a particularly good fit for a specific type of job, and she disregarded my repeated protests that the job in question went against my moral values. She made up her mind and was incapable of hearing anything that didn't align with her first (somewhat arbitrary seeming) idea. She ended our last session by throwing together a ridiculous, typo-ridden resume in a couple minutes targeted at a position I had made clear I would not apply for. (Since that time I finished my graduate degree and am working in a suitable career.) After our second meeting, I was ready to move on and not give career therapists another thought. I have not had that luxury, however, since Julie LaCroix has spammed me and stalked me on social media ever since. Every couple years, I get re-added to her email list which I have never given her permission to put me on, and she has not responded to messages asking her to desist. She also periodically tries to connect with me on social media (she is undeterred by my refusal to connect with her, and, again, does not respond to messages asking her to desist in contacting me). I understand that she thinks networking will help grow her business. I don't understand why she thinks harassing people and ignoring them when they object would be beneficial to anyone. Given her systematic abuse of my personal information, however, I am no longer surprised that she could not process my objection to an unethical career. **Regarding Response** Notice the non-denial regarding the abusive email practices I describe. Also note the absence of a statement that she would address this matter and make sure I am not re-added to her list again in the future. The rest is a matter of he-said-she-said, but why, after 11 years, would I have reason to think of her--much less make random false claims in a review? I would encourage her to check her email (julie@julielacroix.com) to see that I have, in fact, contacted her multiple time over the past 11 years to ask that she stop re-adding me to her spam list. She has also found me years after using her (dis)services and tried to get me to engage with her professional profiles on Facebook and Instagram over the years. The dishonesty/lack of integrity in her response here is appalling.

He was extremely professional and his suggestions provided valuable insight regarding the essays. He seems to gently guide his students on their own path without being overbearing.

I originally left a one star review since we didn't get the service or quality of service we had…read moreexpected. We talked after I submitted my review. And James said he would refund our money if we took down our review. But yelp says not to do this. So I have updated my review to 3 stars since James was quick to refund our money if we were not satisfied, which we are not. We still don't believe his services and poor time management warrant the $3.5k that we had paid. The only reason we had hired him was for him to help our child maximize their chance to get into USC early action, which hurt their chances since they submitted their application earlier than in the normal application. He had said it wasn't likely for our child to get accepted to our child, but this wasn't mentioned to us since that was what we were paying him for. The application was due 11/1, and on 10/27, I sent him a detailed email since the essays were far from being ready including punctuation and grammatical errors. So we actually ended up having to advise our teen and give them feedback on their application since it was nowhere near done 4-5 days before the deadline. We were stressed out about the lack of progress made, and we ended up working with our child to help finish their essays. If we had not hired James, we would have had our child apply regular decision with a deadline of 1/10, which would have strengthened their application. I also felt the quality of their feedback was not that helpful since we had given similar feedback without his help. But since we had the deadline of 11/1, we thought it would help to have his help. In the end, we didn't feel that it was worth it, especially not for $3.5k. The best thing I can say is that James values his online application. And he is willing to stand behind his word. But I don't think he should expect us to remove our review completely, especially since yelp advises against this. So it's possible he may be a good fit for you. And if it's not, hopefully he will stand by his word as he has done in our case.

OMG what a exceptional experience! After cleansing my home from an apparently disgruntled visitor,…read moreIsabella also cleansed my girlfriend's home. Her home was ordered by the court to be sold almost 4 years ago but the ex imploded every potential sale. Isabella cleansed the home of the ex's toxic hold, and then announced that the home would be sold in 3 days, also stating a dollar amount and even a possible bidding war. On day 3 an interested buyer showed up and made an offer. On day 4 another buyer showed up and also made an offer. The owners' accepted the higher bid and the sale closed in 5 weeks, at the price Isabella stated. Now both owners can move on with their lives. While I have subscribed to this energetic shift my entire life, and have had a plethora of experiences that can be explained no other way, Isabella's gifts are very clearly perfection in motion! Simply spectacular, thank you Isabella!

Hi Juliet- I just…read morewanted to thank you again for all your hard work, understanding, and helpful advice that you have blessed me with during our time working together. I landed a position with one of the city government roles I was targeting here in Orange county! This role has been a great fit for me, and I enjoy and respect the other people I work with, and the people in the community that we serve. I had several offers after our work together and ultimately decided this one was the best fit for me. The work you did with my personality profile, career goals, and resume was extremely helpful and definitely had a lot to do with the number of offers I received. I also performed very well in my interviews not just because of my experience in this field but also because of practicing the questions and hypotheticals we went over together. You are a master of your craft and I will not hesitate to mention you if I have any other contacts who are looking for resume and or career coach professionals with your skill set. Thank you again for everything!

Juliet was incredibly helpful, working with me each week to ensure my resume, LinkedIn profile, and cover letters were in top shape. She even pointed out things I hadn't considered including on my resume that turned out to be valuable. When it came to interviews, Juliet walked me through the most common questions, offering constructive critiques on what I should and shouldn't say for each one. Her advice was super informative and helped me feel far more confident than before heading into interviews. I really appreciated how she pushed me out of my comfort zone, and noticed how her help made me stand out more to employers. Many of them even complimented how well-written my resume was!
