Charlene Murphy of Golden Buddha Holistic Healing taught us Reiki in Pacific Grove. She is both knowledgeable and a gifted instructor. I came away with a solid understanding of Reiki and certified for Reiki 1 and 2. I could not be happier and continue to use services offered at The Golden Buddha, including counseling and Infrared sauna treatments. read more

In response to some recent big life changes, I decided to have a last minute session with Charlene to gain some clarity regarding my situation and how to move forward. Charlene is extremely personable and was able to accurately see part of myself and my situation and explain them to me in a way that was easily understandable. She was very thorough and didn't rush my questions despite being short on time due to a computer glitch. What I liked most about the session was that she didn't try to tell me my fortune or future, but rather, tell me what type of person she sees me to be, what kind of energy she feels off me, and what kinds of actions and mindsets I should adopt so that I can manifest my dreams. I'm looking forward to scheduling my next appointment, and would definitely make the drive to see her in person next time! read more

Charlene hit the nail on the head from the very beginning of our call and really help soothe my soul during a turbulent time. I would highly recommend her service and I'm so grateful to have such a powerhouse intuitive so near. Enjoy! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Charlene was very warm-hearted, honest, and truthful about my reading and is just simply a wonderful person, inside and out. I was a little skeptical about coming to see Charlene. I was filled with apprehension and tension before my reading, because I wasn't sure where life would take me, and I just needed some clarification about my future. I arrived at Charlene's apartment and she was very welcoming right when I met her; and I instantly felt a connection to her that let me knew that I could trust her to come into my life. I told her about my problems & life confusion and she connected with me and felt my energy and presence as soon as I sat down. She made me feel comfortable in her home (it was like going to your girlfriends place to just have a chat) and offered me something to drink, then got down to business and gave me a tarot card reading. Boy, was I reassured that my life was going to bring me lots of good luck and positivity, and Charlene turned my state of mind around from being confused/anxious to being calm/relaxed, and gave me something to look forward to in the future. I believe with Charlene's great advice and attention to detail, she will be able to gauge your energy and offer you the things you need to hear/see in your surroundings and in your heart. She is extremely talented and gifted and is very passionate about her abilities to guide people and steer them in the right direction. The great thing about our session was that she didn't take the time to look at the clock, she kept talking to me and giving me great advice and didn't even charge me for the extra time we went over. She's very dedicated and I recommend anyone who is in confusion or stuck in their life to come see her and she can guide you in the right direction. I'm excited to see what the future brings me based on her reading, and she was the extra confirmation I needed to bring this positivity into my life. read more

I found Charlene here on yelp. Obviously, she comes highly reccomended. I experienced why ;) Two days ago I reached out to Charlene. My neighbor above had passed a week prior. In the wake of her passing, myself and my neighbor were experiencing a great deal of heaviness and vibrations around our homes that were unsettling to say the least. I have always had the luxury (?) of being a skeptic. But things became undeniable and I was afraid. Very. As it happens when we lack knowledge and only emotions to go off of. When I emailed Charlene I gave a little backstory and what I was feeling at home. I didn't want to be here, didn't want to walk down the hallway alone. I had never felt this apprehensive in my space. Charlene came over yesterday and as everyone has attested, she puts you at ease. She offers you the comfort you need to be able to be vulnerable. I wasn't sure what to expect, bells and whistles? There was no show. It was exactly what was needed a whole lot if positive energy. Prayer and guidance. I felt the heaviness lift after the prayers. Just like that.. It lifted. Before Charlene left she told me to let my neighbor, who was/is struggling as well know that he could talk to her if she needed him to. When he came home that day, after similarly not wanting to be home either he said it was the first time in a week that he didn't feel trepidation, said it felt lighter almost back to normal. Needless to say, after 8 days of very broken sleep, I've slept for two nights in a row without waking up. I wander about my home as I did before. My son isn't afraid of the hallways or to dress by himself. Not only this, I gained enormous insight about myself, my process and how I looked at life, death and passing over. Grateful would be the word for Charlene, oh and "love & light" ;) read more

I came to Charlene at a time when I was feeling very lost and not sure what I needed or what to do about it. As soon as I was in her presence I was already feeling more calm. There is such a peaceful, loving, warmth to Charlene that it immediately puts you at ease. I was still unsure what service I wanted from her. After we sat down and chatted briefly she said she wanted to put me on the massage table that was set up. She proceeded to go thru all of my chakra areas and by speaking and laying hands, cleared areas where I was blocked. I was quite emotional during this process. I cannot explain other than to say it felt as if I was releasing any bad energy or painful emotional baggage that I had been hauling around. Just when I thought I was going to have a complete and utter melt down, I felt the pressure easing and an unbelievable sense of calm and peace came over me. I left Charlene with a renewed sense that I WAS okay and that I was right where I needed to be. I cannot say enough about how sincere and genuine Charlene is, she has an amazing gift and I am happy that our paths have crossed. I will be going back for sure and highly recommend her to anyone out there in need of some spiritual guidance. read more

My experience with Charlene was simply amazing. I was at a point in my life when I needed clarification on my profession and relationships with friends and family and of course my significant other. Charlene introduced me to new exercises for further guidance and followed up with me a couple days after my reading. The experience was perfect. Deron read more

I saw Charlene almost a year ago, and I really enjoyed my experience. She is very sweet and has a calming energy to her. She described who I was as a person and it was spot on. I mainly went for career guidance and the only reason why I didn't give her five stars is because she saw me in an industry that I still don't see myself in. However, she described my approach to my work to a T, and it really helped me understand what I need from a career in general. I would definitely go again if I could afford it. read more

I encourage EVERYONE to take the opportunity to have a reading, or take a class with this gifted medium. I first came to "see" Charlene in 2012 during a very difficult period in my life. I was seeking some guidance and had many questions for her. She was spot on with all my challenges and assisted me with an actual PLAN to enrich my life and calmed many fears. She was always available for tuning up (lol). I never felt like I was alone with this spiritual lady in my corner! She had simple and easy suggestions to incorporate into my daily routines that made a HUGE impact. I appreciated her calm and loving demeanor. Her ability to give me clear messages from my own guides made her readings clear and concise. I then decided to take her online and interactive 30 day psychic cleanse - THIS CHANGED MY LIFE! I enjoyed it so much that I took it for a second time...not because the first time wasn't satisfying....rather I felt so empowered by the experience that I wanted to dig a bit deeper! She has remained a guiding force for me down this spiritual path and journey. If you are seeking a one time reading (you will be hooked) or a life coach and spiritual guide - then definitely Charlene Murphy is someone who will be there for you. Thank you Charlene for teaching me to love Michelle again...you changed my life and I hope you continue your own life's work of guiding and uplifting others! Peace...light and blessings! read more

Charlene is absolutely amazing! I found her on yelp and after reading her reviews, I thought I would give her a try and boy, I am glad I did! My sole purpose for seeking a psychic medium was to connect with my dad who passed away 4 years ago from prostate cancer. When I met Charlene, she had such a warm and calming presence to her that instantly made me feel at ease. I can say that I was very nervous about not knowing what to expect and fear about being disappointed, but she made me feel otherwise! As the reading began, I told her that I wished to connect with my dad and much like my dad's personality, he came through a bit weary and reserved about providing too much information at first. However, as the reading continued, Charlene relayed some very accurate events that have occurred in my life and described my dad's personality with such accurateness. Not only was Charlene dead on about who my dad was and what he meant to me, but she also provided some good insight as well. Please know that Charlene has a beautiful gift and she uses her talents well. I highly recommend her if you wish to connect with your loved ones who have passed or simply need the guidance of someone who can help you accordingly. read more

I just left my session with Charlene, and I am feeling better than I have in years. She helped me more than the psychiatrist I was paying for months, more the medications he tried to put me on, and WAY more than the traditional therapy sessions I went to! She really got me, and got to the core of my issues and helped me get some clarity on my life and how to put it back together. I went to her feeling scared, confused and hopeless; I have a lot to work on myself but I know I am on the right path now. She is simply the best. I will definitely go see her again!! I would give her more stars if possible! If you are seeking some answers and direction, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Truly gifted and genuine person.. I'm glad I decided to go to her and I will stick to her forever!!

It's been awhile since I went to see Charlene, but the advice she gave me during a time of transition and uncertainty in my life was so significant and helpful to me, and I can't thank her enough. Seeing someone in this regard was very new to me, and she made me feel extremely comfortable and everything felt natural. She has such amazing intuition and told me things about myself that were beautiful to hear and uplifting, yet also that were unbelievable she was able to gather in our short time knowing each other. I look forward to seeing her again in the future and if you are new to readings, she is the person to see!!! read more

Charlene did a great job reading and guiding me in my choices for my next steps to take to get where I wanted to go. She always made it clear that the choice was mine to make and just helped me see where I would be regarding the direction that I took. I prefer this kind of reading instead of someone telling me what is going to happen. She was patient with me as I asked all of my questions. I highly recommend her. since then I have taken several of her courses as well, she is an incredible teacher as well. Her classes are straightforward and empowering! read more

I had a tarot reading and soul reading session with Charlene. I immediately felt a strong sense of rapport with her. She's warm, inviting and a comfortable person to be around. Both services were outstanding and I'm looking forward to working with her again. read more

I have had three sessions in ten weeks with Charlene. Her gentle and positive explanation of how we got to where we are and how to realign ourselves to whatever our heart's desire is has catapulted my life in an incredible new direction. Her accuracy in identifying my best and less desirable habits has given me the confidence to continue coaching and life exploration meetings with her. She recently added an infrared sauna to her practice. It is amazing...I didn't realize what a fantastic effect the detoxifying properties for my body would also improve my entire being, that's mind and spirit, too! Don't miss out on a chance to benefit from this treatment, as well as consider having a reading with her. Now is the time to get clear for the holidays and new year! read more

Let me start off my saying I do not think that psychics are all-knowing, fortune tellers, witches, white lighters or anything like that. I do believe that some of us can pick up frequencies that enables them to tune into channels most of us can't. With that being said I went to Charlene seeking advice about my job, relationships, finances and personal endeavors. She was very inviting and has a warm spirt. I had questions prepared so that I was not just a co-pilot, but being proactive in finding out what I wanted to know. I left my reding very inspired and very much looking forward to what the future holds! read more

Why has it taken so long to review Charlene? I saw her over a year ago, & chose her based on the great Yelp reviews. I was looking for guidance, & was at a point in life where everything seemed to be up in the air. Charlene was warm, calm, & kind. She gave me advice about my career path, whether or not to relocate, & on my love life. She knew things about me that were deep and meaningful. She even tapped into facts about my sister, & knew she has some level of psychic abilities as well! Pretty amazingly, she said she saw a black & white cat, which, at the time, I had just lost my black cat & thought she just got the color wrong. When I told her my cat was black, she stood firm in her vision of a black & white cat, (whereas I figure phonies would just change the color to black). Two months later, I adopted a black & white cat, & didn't even remember the reading until maybe 6 months later! At the time of the reading, my current cat wasn't even born, but somehow she saw that he was going to be a part of my life. I raved about Charlene to my sister, & she saw her a few months later. They had a meeting that was more like a teacher to a student- advice on dealing with/honing the psychic gift. I know that she truly helped my sister & gave her great insight. The most important thing about Charlene is that she keeps her readings positive! I felt completely better after seeing her, & felt so much more connected to the physical world & the spiritual world. I felt like I was realigned & starting on the right track! I would definitely go back to see her & probably will in the future! read more

I first met Charlene attending her classes in Long Beach, they were fantastic. At the time she also did past life group meditations which helped to correlate difficulties one has in their present life to a similar situation in a past life. The current people in my life were the same as in the past life, just a different name. We had karma to work out. She was very accurate describing situations that needed more care. Using oracle or tarot cards she gave some right on readings. read more

She was amazing! Honest and on point. You need to go with an open mind for her to give you the most accurate reading which she was able to do for me. I would recommend her to anyone and plan to go back for future visits! read more

Charlene is amazing and truly gifted. I left my reading with an amazing feeling and the insight she provided into my life I feel will help me forever. So happy I found her! read more

Charlene rejuvenated my life after just one visit. I was in a dark, sad, and scared place and with her help and positive energy, I left our session rejuvenated and feeling alive again. Trust me- it felt like three months of therapy packed into one hour and it was worth it. Thank you Charlene- you are a wonderful person! I will see you soon! read more

First Time psychic visitor, helped me feel relaxed. Gentle Kind spirited and accurate information. read more

I wanted to visit a psychic for my birthday on 12/12/12 and found Charlene on Yelp. Convinced that the universe was aligned for me on my special day, I had high expectations for a great experience. I was impressed by Charlene's warm and welcoming demeanor and she made me feel comfortable from the moment I met her. As a skeptic, I did not share any personal information with her at all. I simply told her what areas of my life I was curious about without offering any details. She blew me away by how accurately she was able to see me, my relationships, and my situation. I especially loved her communication style and was appreciative of her friendly, conversational tone. I highly recommend visiting Charlene if you are looking for some spiritual guidance and an overall enjoyable, entertaining experience. I will be back! read more

My (new) boyfriend and I went to Charlene for a tarot reading and had an amazingly positive experience! It was my third time getting a reading and his first and any anxiety we had at the beginning melted away as soon as we started talking with Charlene. Charlene is a very nurturing, insightful and warm person who wants to help you clarify your life's path. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Charlene Murphy is personable and professional. She provided me with an interesting reading and good entertainment.

I had a Reiki session this past week with Charlene and it was an awesome experience. First of all Charlene is such a positive soul that I was at ease from the moment I arrived for my session. I really appreciated how Charlene explained everything before, during and after my session, she's the real deal. Although, my appt. was for Reiki, her ability as a medium was demonstrated because she mentioned that I had a visitor, at the time I couldn't remember the person, the next day, I remembered that a former teacher was who Charlene was talking about when she described the visitor. I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Charlene was beyond helpful and amazing. Not only was she accurate with the issues I was facing but she was able to guide me and assist me in finding what I needed to find in me to do the work to get to where I needed to go... I know this is overly vague but just trust that Charlene is not only welcoming, friendly, and warm but she is someone that you will remember and most probably interact with again. read more

I design and deliver corporate training classes for a living and have attended Charlene's live classes over the last year. Let me tell you...Charlene is spot on! Her classes have the right mix of content presentation and hands-on activities to keep participants engaged. The common thread is empowering individuals in their own life journeys. Beyond these technical aspects, Charlene is a fantastic facilitator. She has a calming, non-judgmental presence that allows you to easily open up to her - so vital in a successful teacher. From novice to experienced, all are welcome at Charlene's classes. Participants leave with several gems for implementation in their lives. read more

Charlene is so amazing....She was Spot On....she gave me a lot of insight as to what's been going on and what might go on in my life....I highly recommend her read more

Thank you for reaching out to me after my last experience and inviting me back. I truly appreciate it and shows the type of person you are. Thank you for your honesty! I'm sure I will will have an amazing experience next time I see you. read more

Having a reading from Charlene was fabulous! Loved it!

I recently sought out Charlene's services and I am so glad I did. She has a wonderful kind spirit that immediately puts you at ease. I left feeling more hopeful and exhilarated about my life than I have in a long time. She is honest and forthright and helped me to see myself and my life in a different light. Thank you Charlene =) read more

Charlene helped me through an incredibly difficult couple of years in my life with warm, down to earth advice. She's incredibly intuitive yet has a great sense for what's realistic. When you find yourself lost and hurting but ready for a real good honest look at yourself, Charlene is the best person to help you. read more

This is a late post. I wasn't in the right state to write what needed to be said at the time of the reading. About a year ago I started having anxiety attacks and was having a difficult time controlling it. I didn't like the medication the doctors prescribed. They made me feel numb and loopy. I was looking for an alternative to the meds and reached out to Charlene. Her insight and knowledge of my life issues made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She advised me to start meditating and it has changed my life. read more

Very spot on and insightful! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to take a peek into the soul of another being ;)

Charlene is amazing..... I came across her over the internet and what drew me to her was her kindness. Without knowing her or meeting her, I got drawn to her by her personality and I instantly trusted her. She walked me through one session and blew me away. I never knew I had psychic senses until I met with her. She opened up a big chapter in my life that I will never forget. She tells you exactly what you want to hear, and shes a good coach. I suggest seeing Charlene if you have sleep problems, or just weird encounters in life theres always a sign for eevrything. I will definately take more classes with her, shes a great person and very accurate. read more

Charlene came through again! My wife and I were under tremendous stress, went to Charlene for spiritual guidance. She pulled some cards which were amazingly accurate on the transpired events and then she was able to lay out a prospective of the crisis. During our session, we developed a plan of action based on her guidance and felt much better after the visit. Over the next few weeks, the events developed exactly as she had predicted. She has an amazing talent in tapping into the people and/or circumstances surrounding an event which gives invaluable insight to how things will develop. We had a few readings from Charlene in the past and each time it was amazing! If you go there with an open mind, you will be amazed! Rarely would you be able to find a good natured, honest, kind, loving, caring and extremely talented psychic. Charlene is the cream of the crop. read more

Charlene is lovely. She is kind, embracing, and [obviously] intuitive. I don't spend a lot of time going to doctors, therapists or chiropractors, but leaving Charlene I feel whole: healthy, optimistic, and aligned. I recommend her highly. read more

I found Charlene via the Internet, I to was unsure and very apprehensive about making an appointment. I called and she got me in the same day. I was at a place in my life where I just needed direction. I was going through a messy divorce where I just needed guidance on how to move forward. She also connected with someone in my past that I felt a strong connection with and still was appearing in my life.. She helped me understand my feelings, that I wasn't crazy and that I needed to let life happen and what I was doing was right, everything would eventually work out. She made me feel at ease. Also gave me guidance on how to release energy and better myself. I will go back again!!! read more
