Sayaka

Dr. Sayaka has literally been nothing short of a LIFE CHANGER for my husband and I, individually…read moreand as a married couple together. I am aware her main focus is sexual therapy, but she's also an excellent individual and couples relationship therapist, so please consider her if you need that, as well. A note for those afraid of or think therapy is not for them: Luckily, my husband and I have never had hangups about seeking professional assistance off and on when we get "stuck." We've seen a variety of therapists throughout our relationship from about year #2 on. That sounds like we have major issues, but we really don't. We are 16+ years into our very happy and successful monogamous relationship. We love and respect each other, we are each others' best friend, and we enjoy each other's company more than anyone else's on this planet - and always have. We live, work, and spend ~23 hours of every day together - BY CHOICE. No relationship is or can be perfect, but that hasn't stopped us from trying! When we identify an issue that keeps popping up and can't seem to work it out ourselves, we seek help to get past it. We love and respect each other so much that we know it is important. We aren't egotistical enough to think going to therapy is weak or that if we can't work it out on our own, it is not meant to be. We realize that couples who have issues and choose NOT to seek help are the ones that don't value their relationship. We value ours so much that seeking help is a no-brainer and it has always served us well. Having said that, of all the therapists we have seen, Dr. Sayaka has been the best, hands down. She has helped us both individually and in sessions together to fix some MAJOR life-long issues we each have that affected our relationship together and with others. There has to come a time when you "graduate," as she calls it, and while we both would still enjoy fine tuning ALL of our issues, Dr. Sayaka gleefully told us one day that we've graduated and there is no need to come in for regular sessions anymore. In our experience, this is unheard of; almost all therapists are happy to continue to take your money as long as you want to give it. Dr. Sayaka was goal oriented in her approach and knew further sessions would have diminishing returns since we had both grown so much individually and together over the 1.5 year we spent with her. She pushed us out of her nest! Between the two of us, we worked on issues such as letting go of childhood trauma, abandonment issues, alcoholic tendencies, anger, unrealistic expectations, getting closer and deeper emotionally, being vulnerable in general and with others, trust, not needing other's approval and wanting everyone to like you, respecting individual time/needs, perfectionism, and more. We covered a lot of ground and we each have grown a TON. And, so yes, sex is also much better since we are closer. It's all actually pretty amazing. You have to be willing to show up, do the work, and be active in your growth along the way to see the amount of change we have seen. But, it's worth the investment in time and money if you are at a point where you are ready for REAL change. Many people WANT change, but aren't willing to work for it or move through the uncomfortableness needed to achieve it. We were both there and willing, so we saw the results with her guiding us every step of the way. Now that we have graduated, we still practice the homework she assigned us, which is key to having lasting results. We love it though and it doesn't feel like homework; it feels like we get to play fun games together and benefit from them - a win-win! We even proactively share some of the exercises with our friends because we have seen such amazing results from them. I could go on and on about Dr. Sayaka, but in short, if you're stuck, you want change, are willing to work for it, and don't know where to start...RUN (don't walk) to Dr. Sayaka. She will greet you with her warm compassion and smile. She will be direct, present and compassionate. She will sit silently holding a space for you as long as you need and even cry with you through the uncomfortable times and the great breakthroughs. She is emotionally intelligent, as well as very intuitive. She is NOT a normal therapist; I'd put her up against anyone out there...and I have been to MANY therapists in the past. She is the one who has "fixed" us, individually and together, for now. We both have an easily accessible armory of tools to refer to when our instincts kick back in and we could not be more grateful to her for that. Will we likely see her again? Yes. Because we don't have expectations we won't have something in 5 or 10 years that comes up as our lives change that will benefit from an outside impartial professional. But, I can honestly say that I look forward to that day. If you are not growing and changing for the better, what are you doing with your life? And with growth, comes growing pains. It's OK. GO SEE HER.

OMG! Doctor Sayaka has transformed our marriage. "You don't know what you don't know" was the adage…read moreI leaned on when we sought a sex therapist to see what we could learn. Wow, our expectations have been far exceeded. If you live anywhere in San Diego county, you should book a session with Dr Sayaka.

I went into 2019 feeling defeated. I had lost my mom a year prior and was still struggling with how…read moreto keep on living without her. I had started working at a job that was not fulfilling my wants and needs and was stuck in a bad cycle of believing that was the best job I could get and deserved to get. I had just gotten out of yet another unsuccessful relationship that had early promises of a future, but red flags kept appearing and instead of running for the hills, I had stayed with it thinking I could "change" it. I was about to turn 30 years old and was completely fed up of feeling lost. I had been to therapy throughout my entire life and never felt like it had done any good. I had heard of life coaches, but wasn't quite sure what they were or what they did. I started doing some research online and Megan stood out to me immediately. She had a warm and inviting smile in her photo on her website and I truly enjoyed reading what she had to say. Not only was her website bright and happy, but the content was exactly what I was looking for. After 20 minutes of clicking through her site and reading previous reviews of Megan's coaching style, I decided to schedule my free consultation. Megan called me and we had such an amazing chat. She had me answer a few questions that really got the conversation started and allowed her to decide if she could help me get out of my funk. At the end of our conversation, I knew this was the next step for me. Megan gave me hope that there was a better life that I had yet to live. Payment became no issue at that point. I considered it my 30th birthday present to myself; the best gift I could ever give myself. And our six month journey began. Within the first month of working with Megan, I had joined a dating website and learned the right ways to approach dating and starting a relationship. I met the man of my dreams. He had everything I had ever imagined I would want in a partner and more. They do exist, I promise! Within three months of working with Megan, I had moved on from my boring job and started looking for what I really wanted to do. I started working out and getting healthy not only on the inside, but on the outside as well. My last session with Megan was a prep for an interview for my dream job. And guess what? I got it! It has been six months since my coaching with Megan has ended and I am in the best place in my life. I am engaged and am getting married in May. I have purchased a home and will be moving in February. I have learned so much from my current workplace and was promoted to a manager position in three months time. I have learned to live for me and I will continue to do that for the rest of my life. I attribute all of this happiness and success to Megan. She opened my eyes to my true potential and gave me the tips I needed to push through my insecurities. Give Megan a chance to change your life for the better. She did it for me and I'm sure she can do it for you!

It's not very often you meet a coach who is TRULY destined and fit to do the work she is doing. It…read moreis without a doubt that this is Megan's true calling and purpose, and it shows. Megan helped me immensely with my life + business. She helped me restructure my thought process and overcome mental blocks I didn't even realize I had (blocks I suffered from my entire life that prevented me from getting to the next level in my business). She gets deep into the root of your business by going deep into the root of your mindset. Working with Megan gave me the confidence and clarity to get my business to the next level. Not only has she helped me in numerous ways, I've seen her in action at events through live coaching. She is the real deal, guys. If you've ever been on the fence about hiring a coach, this is your gal. I can't recommend her enough. What a gift she has.

I was postpartum…read morealmost two years, and I hadn't lost the weight I had gained despite working out consistently and eating relatively healthy. It wasn't until I started working with Sam that I realized my idea of healthy, really didn't take into consideration some fundamental truths about nutrition. I quickly learned in my 1:1 sessions how I needed to pivot, and Sam helped me overcome some fears and unfounded food beliefs I had been carrying around. While I believe what Sam is doing should be provided to everyone and especially to school ages children, I am just lucky enough to have gone on Yelp, taken a chance with her, and had the absolute best 6 months of my life. Not only did Sam help me reinvent some of my eating habits, but she changed the trajectory of my health and I believe supported my fertility and conception of baby#2. I highly recommend Sam as a nutritionist, she really invests in you as a person and your healthy future. Thanks Sam!

My life is better in so many ways since meeting Sam! Sam has helped me focus on ME! While my…read moreinitial goal was weight loss, Sam opened my eyes to so much more besides blaming it on food. She showed me how to view food differently. She showed me the how, the why, and everything in between from becoming a better eater but being a better person to myself! I have more clarity on how food affects my body, more knowledgeable about different foods, how to cook them to taste delicious, and it's ok to have a bad moment, there is no judgment. I recognize now how important sleep is and how stress builds on negative outcomes. I am mentally stronger when it comes to food that I actually read the ingredients on every label that enters my home. I am more mindful of my eating habits and eating slowly. Sam taught me to see food as medicine and that changed how I view food. Don't get me wrong, I'll have a cheat meal here and there, but I stay mindful with no judgement, and I can't thank Sam enough for instilling positive vibes and energy into my life! Sam helped me overcome, not only how to become a better eater for me, but for my family. I was also going through one of the hardest times in my life, and I could not have gotten through it without her. I HIGHLY recommend Sam!

We were all a bit nervous leading up to the experience, but Joy quickly put us at ease with her calm, friendly, and genuinely caring nature. Not only did she help answer many of the questions we had been carrying, but the reading truly felt as though our loved one was right there with us, speaking directly to nearly every person in the room. It was one of the most incredible and meaningful experiences we've ever had. I would 100% recommend Joy- she is a truly phenomenal medium.

I went in with an open mind, but no agenda or expectations and I was absolutely blown away. First of all, Joy has such a kind and gentle energy about her and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She quickly explained how it would work and within the first few seconds, she got rolling and was able to connect to my Dad immediately. I couldn't believe how clearly she picked up his personality and very specific things about him that nobody could possibly know. For example, Joy pinpointed that my dad used to collect periodicals and she could see the yellow National Geographic bookends which was 100% accurate and extremely specific. My Mom came in after a bit and even just my Mom and Dad's banter and interactions together were literally EXACTLY how they communicated in real life. I was so glad I recorded the entire session and can go back and listen to it whenever I want to feel closer to my parents now. I can't explain the level of peace that this reading brought me when I had been feeling so sad and lonely. Joy captured both my parents in a way that was so authentic and genuine and deep. I have been seeing signs everywhere over the past week and truly feel more connected to my parents than I have in a long time. Joy also has a free Signs class that you can sign up for on her website and her podcast provides such amazing information in a digestible manner if you want to dive deeper into these concepts. If you are on the fence with whether you should go see Joy, do not hesitate any longer. Go! I can't wait to go again.

I saw her for a 4 week 'treatment' in which we spoke once per week over the phone. Some discussion and some hypnosis. She also made herself available via email if i needed to contact her for any reason. She provided lots of tools for me to use during the week to help me focus on the issues at hand and find the root causes. She actually assigned homework, which was well worth it believe it or not! She is a very caring and intuitive young woman who's passion shines through her success in you. She helped me to see things differently which makes a world of difference when dealing with relationships. I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed!

Jey was recently recognized for being the Best Personal Trainer in Serra Mesa for 2026 and the…read moreaward did not surprise me. Why? Because, I can personally attest that Jey is the real deal. Showing up. Doing the work. Day after day. Month after month. Year after year. This is not just a pump-up review. (pun intended) I watched Jey with my own eyes for years because we worked out at the same gym every single day. That was 26 years ago. The passion, the grit, the consistency were always there. What makes him different is that he does not just train others, he trains himself. Mentally, physically, and emotionally. He is constantly pushing himself and figuring out what it takes to get to the next level so he can help his clients get there too. That is how Jey ended up here. A plan. Consistency. Discipline. There are no shortcuts. If you want results, Jey is the guy who will get you there, no matter your starting point or fitness level.

Jey is very professional and really caters to your individual needs/goals. His gym setup is clean, well-maintained, and allows for a wide range of workouts. He helps you establish realistic goals and customizes each workout to be very efficient and at a level that is appropriate for you. I worked out with Jey about 1-2 times per week (as my busy schedule allowed) for about 8 months and it has played a key role in helping me reach a level of fitness that I feel good about and feel encouraged to maintain. As long as you show up on time, follow his instructions, don't complain, and stick to it, you WILL see results!
