Christina makes me feel super relaxed and confident that I can talk to her about anything. Also, her office is adorable!

I printed out every single one of her blogs so I can read and practice them at home. Welcome to the neighborhood Christina, thank you so much!

I've had several individual and group sessions with Shannon and every single experience has been…read moreamazing! Shannon has such a warm, welcoming presence that allows you to feel immediately relaxed and comfortable. It's apparent that Shannon is invested in her clients having a gratifying experience. She takes time before sessions to allow you to express yourself and "fill her in", so to speak, and then debriefs at the end. She is extremely intuitive and the focus and intention of the sessions always seems to be what I need - I've had sessions where I've gone very "deep", some where I've cried and released, and some that were just plain ol' relaxing. But I've gained some insight, either immediately or in the days that followed, each time. I've appreciated that she's followed up with me after sessions as well. I'm so grateful to have found Shannon - her light and energy are truly a gift!

And it stopped me. The audacity. I felt. THE CONFIDENCE of that statement made me want to explore. I'mma be honest. The only reason I didn't immediately sign up for the course is because I thought it said it was in Joshua Tree. At the time, I had freeway stress, or just severe stress that showed up and showed out of the freeway so I knew I wasn't driving there. Then my spirit said but email her still. She quickly and professionally responded and I felt the connection. We agreed that I would have a hypnotherapy session with her and it was EVERYTHING! I felt balanced, grounded, clear, hopeful, confident, aligned, loved and that there was nothing I am not capable of doing after my session with Prema. I highly recommend her! She is the best.

A lot of hidden issues were discovered in the process, some of which I saw coming, while others did not. I am proof that Prema's ability to heal, teach, and overcome pain is real. She only gave me the tools to heal, but to live a healthy lifestyle. If you have doubts, are open-minded, scared, willing to try something new, or simply ready to change your life, I strongly encourage you to take a session with Prema. All I have to say is invest in yourself.

Summary: doesnt do…read morehypnotherapy, no time management skills, bills you for the time she went over in session, charges too much just for talk therapy, doesnt refund for unused sessions. My first 2 sessions were ok, I thought they would improve, but did not. She spent the time just talking with me, which I understand as a way to get to know me in order to do the hypnotherapy. But after 7 sessions, I stopped going. She wanted to just chat even after I told her I wanted to do the hypnotherapy on 2 different occasions. Seems she doesnt know how to do it, maybe wants to be a psychologist. She did do one "hypnotherapy " but it was 10 minutes and just a basic guided imagery meditation, which I can do on my own. The sessions were supposed to be one hour long, but she kept running over to 2 hours and then charging me for it! I told her that it's her responsibility to keep the time, not me, and then to charge me more after the agreed amount and time, is outrageous. I paid for 10 sessions up front, as she said it would take time, but we werent doing anything. I've already had years of talk therapy and that's not what I wanted to spend $100/hour on. I can get talk therapy for $40/hour. Even with the package, she gave me a slight discount, but when I asked for a refund on the reminder, she refused and said she could give it to me as a gift card. I explained that theres no way I could gift her services since shes not providing the services she advertises and I'm unhappy with. I do not recommend her.

I debated long and hard as to whether or not leave a review here. However, after meditating on it…read moreand realizing how important is to get balanced perspectives on something so important as mental health, I find my heart leading me to sharing my experience here for others to consider. There were traditional therapists I found through my insurance provider. Licensed counselors and psychologists. No one was "clicking," and after battling with crippling anxiety, manic episodes, and depression, I bit the bullet and made an appointment with Jacqui. This was back in July 2016. I had a free phone consult with her first. Her voice was warm and her advice was concrete. However, she also pushed me to write a positive review of her book on Amazon. There was definitely a mercenary and marketing tone to her approach. My husband and I paid a substantial amount for my first and only session. We spent most of that time reviewing my past and writing out a "master script," in which I was to detail who I wanted to be with orders to record myself saying these self-affirmations, which were then to reviewed everyday. She smiled and said I would achieve the results I wanted if I purchased her packages, which would be "very cool," as she put it. She also determined I would need the maximum number of sessions with her given how vulnerable and agitated I came across. Then the strange stuff happened. I asked Jacqui for an invoice. I wanted to see if I could submit an itemized bill to my insurance company for out-of-network behavioral services. Jacqui called me right away and told me she didn't have a diagnostic code. She suggested I get a code from my psychiatrist. Then she called me back to say she was moving to North Carolina and could only offer video sessions. The price would remain the same. I declined, and thought, well that's the end of that. But it was not. She continued to call me. She told me I was one of the fortunate few who would be able to receive a free session with someone she personally vetted, a man familiar with "tapping." She promised to watch to make sure he was a good enough replacement. The whole process would take place in her Costa Mesa office. At first, I said yes, because hey, free is not a bad deal. Yet deep down the whole thing reeked of duplicity. Yes, Jacqui is warm and has a good beside manner. However, she made claims I don't think any mental health provider would assert. That may be the point; she is not practicing under a code of ethics. Healing Minds is where people go when they've run out of options. Ultimately, I refused the free session with her replacement. I chose instead to go with evidence-backed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a proven system that has reduced my emotional reactivity and improved my relationships. Given what transpired, I cannot recommend Healing Minds or Jacqui's services under good conscience.

This isn't about me, this is about you. You are here obviously to seek help in your life. To…read moreregain some control, to let go of outdated, hindering emotions. There are therapist that only help people for the money. Therapist whom get jaded over the years and only see clients as numbers walking in and out of their office. This was a concern of mine. To pay a stranger to care for your problems for an allotted amount of time, and give you feedback and techniques to take home that may or may not just keep you running mental circles was a big concern for me when researching therapists. So let me alleviate them for you when speaking of Jacqui. I emailed her a standard net email I was sending to some therapist in the OC/LA area. Her response was the same day. We set up an introductory phone session for later that week. Within the phone session, I felt the sincerity that Jacqui was offering that I was looking for. Instead of just the usual psycho-spiel that most other therapists were giving me on the phone interviews, Jacqui actually let me talk, was not worried about time too much, and listened to what I was saying. That sealed it for me. We set up our actual session for the next week. I have never done professional hypno-therapy or EFT before, and I had minor doubts only because I know how my mind likes to distract itself, especially when being told to be quiet. The pace and direction of the session were all very well received though At the end of the session, I did see some immediate changes in my mannerism regarding the my own self defeating patterns. Jacqui's sincerity shined through till the very end of our session, and it was an added bonus to know that she still actively seeks her own betterment, not many therapists will admit to that. Instead of selling me an inflated amount of sessions, she suggested the amount she saw fit for my progression. I am done with my sessions with her, and I am very happy that I chose Jacqui. A bit of advise from me though, it is awesome that you are seeking help, but do not be addicted to seeking help from without. Any good teacher, therapist, psychologist, etc. will only be a great guiding post to your own inner answers and truth. They are not the answer, and they will not have the answers for you, they can only point you to your own, and it is up to you then to live within it. And Jacqui is an excellent guiding post! I am recommending my girlfriend to go see Jacqui, and anyone else that may read this review. Hope this has helped you with your decision! Cheers!
