I first discovered The Meditation for Health Podcast in 2014. Immediately struck by the quality of…read morethe recordings, I was attracted to the energy of openness, and impressed by the relative lack of commercialization, compared to other meditation resources. It truly is geared towards health & wellbeing, steering clear of some of the 'tropes' and consumerism that I have found in other podcasts for meditation. The immense qualifications of Dr. Robert Puff also are a huge benefit -- in an era where many in the digital space profess to know so much, it is reassuring to know that you are in the 'hands of an expert' when listening to this podcast. I have always appreciated the pace and gentle focus of each session, Dr. Robert Puff has an aura of nonjudgment and safety in his language and message. I would highly recommend this podcast; it's simple and nonintimidating, especially for those new to meditation.

Dr. Puff is both kind and wise beyond measure. Simple, insightful, helpful. I also love his…read more"Happiness Podcast" as well as his books - particularly "Reflections on Meditation." Thank you, Dr. Puff!

After 3 years, I'm back. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. So when my…read morepanic and anxiety attacks conveniently began to tag team, I found myself back to the beginning. The universe knew exactly what it was doing sending me back to the starting line. I've lost my way again. I indeed forgot how to calm my mind and body. It was a humbling way for the universe to tell me I am not meditating nor relaxing correctly. That's where Jessika comes in. She is the absolute best and is truly amazing at holding a safe space for you to achieve complete and total relaxation. She offers virtual appointments and thankfully she had availability within a few days. My experience during a session is walking in with a million thoughts racing through my head while my body can't sit down and walking out relaxed, peaceful, and focused. What a difference. I must admit how naive I was to think that reiki should not be a consistent part of my healing journey. Talking with Jessika, she made an interesting point that while reiki can help after one session its benefits can go beyond by being more consistent. I do agree because if one session can bring peace to my life imagine what monthly sessions could do for my health and healing. My goal is to be more consistent in reiki healings this year so that I can be the best version of myself. I can't wait to book my next session and continue to work on healing. So if you are on the fence, do it. Book the appointment and get started on your healing journey.

Jessika is such a beautiful soul. I was a part of one of her retreats and she brought her own…read morespecial energy, warmth, and presence to the experience. Her ability to connect with others and create a space where people feel supported, seen, and encouraged made the retreat even more meaningful. I left feeling inspired, more connected to myself, and grateful for the opportunity to be surrounded by such incredible women. Jessika contributed to making this experience truly special, and I'm so thankful for the positive impact she had on my journey.

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.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Carlos. He was super accommodating given I…read morehad quite a long commute to see him in person and every session was well worth it. He helped me break a 15 year habit which I still can't believe I get to say sometimes. His guidance, exercises, and overall communication are incredibly effective.

I was 46 when he guided me through the transformation to letting go of this vice. Recently, I went back to him to give up what I thought was a harmless brownie and cookie passion; it was really just my way to rebel. Meaning Carlos doesn't just say sleepy sleepy and puts you under, then you are magically fixed. He talks through why you have either trauma or patterns, and then helps you go deep into yourself and change that pattern at the core. I couldn't be more grateful to have been sent to him. Besides LASIK eye surgery, this is the best money I have spent on myself.

If you landed on this review, you're probably looking for someone to help you through a difficult…read moreseason or make meaningful changes in your life. I cannot recommend Courtney enough. Courtney is warm, compassionate, confident, incredibly knowledgeable, and exceptionally skilled. She is easy to connect with and easy to trust. While she is always professional, we also shared quite a few laughs during our sessions. She has a very down to earth, practical approach that makes therapy feel comfortable instead of intimidating. What I appreciate most about Courtney is that her goal is to help you build the skills you need so you can confidently move forward. She isn't interested in keeping people in therapy longer than necessary. She helps you work through challenges, develop healthy coping skills, and then supports you in living your life with confidence, knowing her door is always open if you ever need to come back. My husband and I first found Courtney when we realized our marriage needed help. We had reached a point where the tension between us had become overwhelming, and we needed someone to guide us back to healthier communication. Finding a therapist with the right qualifications wasn't easy, and we spent months waiting through our insurance network before eventually finding Courtney. From our very first sessions, she created a safe environment where both of us felt comfortable expressing our thoughts and emotions. She taught us how to truly listen to one another, communicate more effectively, and work through conflict in a healthier way. The skills she taught us are still part of our marriage today. We still use them whenever disagreements come up, and because of what we learned, arguments resolve much faster with more understanding, appreciation, and respect for each other. Investing in therapy was one of the best investments we've made in our marriage. Courtney helped us move beyond unnecessary conflict and build a stronger, healthier relationship. We continue to be incredibly grateful for the impact she had on our family. About a year ago, my teenage daughter was a passenger in an automobile accident where the car was totaled. They were struck by a car running a red light at a high speed while crossing Pacific Coast Highway. The accident was extremely traumatic, and it happened only days before she was supposed to get her driver's license. She no longer wanted to drive and was understandably struggling. Initially, I chose a therapist through our insurance, but it quickly became clear that my daughter needed someone with more experience treating trauma. Switching her to Courtney was one of the best decisions I could have made. Over the next few months, Courtney built an incredible relationship with my daughter. She earned her trust, helped her process the trauma, and gave her practical tools she continues to use today. My daughter not only got her driver's license, but she regained her confidence and moved forward with her life. Today, she is focused on school, her future, and college. She has become resilient, confident, emotionally aware, and open with our family. As a parent, I knew trauma was beyond my own expertise, and I am so thankful we found someone as qualified and compassionate as Courtney to help guide her through it. Courtney has made a lasting difference in our marriage, our family, and my daughter's life. If you're looking for an experienced therapist who genuinely cares, builds real relationships with her clients, and gives you practical tools that create lasting change, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She is one of those rare professionals whose knowledge, compassion, and skill truly stand out, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for our family.

I also appreciate that her office is clean, professional, welcoming, and safe. I would highly recommend Arolyn!

She is easily one of the most skilled clinicians I've worked with, and arguably one of the best in the area. I drive nearly 3 hours to see her, and it is absolutely worth it. In just a few sessions, I've experienced more meaningful progress than years of traditional therapy combined. Her approach is precise, intuitive, and highly effective in a way that feels both clinical and deeply human. She also has techniques that have provided immediate relief for symptoms like tinnitus, which I had been struggling with for a long time. If you are considering working with her, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has genuinely been life-changing for me.

The shifts I experienced in myself also translated to warmer, more open relationships with friends and family. Working with Sarah, I was able to broaden my career goals and manifest exciting changes.

It was amazing to learn which months are ideal for taking on new tasks, what my future might hold, and why I've been feeling stuck lately.
