Thanks John for being an amazing person and talented at what you do!

Justice talked me through the whole process and was so honest and easy to talk to. I am so thankful to Justice for making the decision so easy. Not only was I able to build a professional online presence, but also build my confidence and self-love as well. Coach Peggy Wu is amazing, she brings her background as a life coach into her career coaching. When I started with Peggy I was struggling to see myself as a professional. We talked about more than just my job experience and she helped remove some of my mental blocks. Peggy has been such a great source of support in the past few months. I would email her on some of my lowest days and her words always put me back on the right path. I even did two celebrity sessions with Lisa Allie. With Lisa, we went through line-by-line of my resume and she told me what was good and what needed improvement. My resume has never looked better and people are often impressed. Lisa also helped me with LinkedIn and taught me useful tools for how to get the most out of it! on top of all of that, I have completed many helpful modules. The modules are like career-focused therapy. I really feel that everyone at Ama La Vida is focused on you as a human being. Your mental health and well-being will be prioritized. I can not put a value on the experience I got out of this service as I don't know where I would be today without it. I know this post is super cheesy but I wasn't paid to say any of this and have been sincerely blown away by my experience with Ama La Vida. When I first joined I didn't expect much but at EVERY step of the way I have been met with so much positivity and support.

I have been a client of Alisha Bradley for the past two months. Two months does not sound like a…read morelong time however I can honestly say I've had immense shifts in my thought patterns, how I view myself, and my confidence level! All of these positive changes have led my life to take a new direction, one that I chose for myself. Alisha has allowed me to take on a new perspective and realize my potential power, and how I can create a new reality. This definitely did not happen over night but surprisingly, very quickly. I am sure this may be different for everyone and what they are striving to accomplish. What I can honestly say is that she takes the time to genuinely get to know who you are as a person, what is important to you, and what you hope to achieve in life. After our first session, I knew I made the right decision in meeting with her. Given her background, it became clear how knowledgeable she was on various life topics and offered me solid, immediate steps I could take to acknowledge what was important for me at that moment. I feel she takes on a very personalized approach, which allowed me to feel very comfortable and open with her right away. Of course I felt more motivated, and driven but in addition - she truly listens to you and cares about your wellbeing! She is able to view things in a different perspective and offer concrete solutions or action steps. Another aspect I admire is her relaxed, not rigid style of coaching, yet very professional at the same time. Everything is tailored to whatever is convenient to you. If you are thinking to hire a life coach/mentor/advisor/friend/and a genuine soul who is passionate about your goals, and helping you create a life you love...I would not hesitate one second to reach out to Alisha!

This business created a new business profile likely to avoid the negative views it was incurring…read moremany years ago. Returning to ensure this low rating is captured. Similar to last time, this business will appeal to Yelp to take it down claiming it's fraudulent but that's just the cut throat business acumen behind Jody Michael. To summarize, you will waste your money using a proprietary career rating matrix that is likely to tell you nothing new by the end of your session package. If you're desperate to find a path forward, consider upskilling, get a career coach (not whatever Jody claims to be) and focus on positive mindset. For these brief sessions, you will be charged hundreds of dollars and sometimes Jody will take calls while on vacation and cut them short! She offers little empathy given the context of a client needing career support and having come from stock exchange into six figure social work she will brag about, you're paying into someone's fortune while taking from yours.

I'm not sure if any of you here recently suffered the pain of letting your beloved fur baby go; but…read moreI needed to have a bit of peace of mind so I hired a professional well known clairvoyant medium channel here in chicago for an in tune phone reading. Her name is pandora psychic and you can contact her here and on Instagram if you need closure, someone kind to talk to or if you recently had a loved one or pet pass away. I don't dole out compliments half heartedly nor do I greedily horde healers or good services all to myself. On NYE my beautiful baby Mr. Valentino the Mobster puss lost interest in food. I went out to buy white castle sliders for myself and my pets and had bought all of Valentino's favorite wet foods including tuna. He had zero interest in eating and over the weekend he rapidly declined and started isolating himself. I had to have him euthanized on January 6th and was saddened because he would have been 17 years old next month on February 21st. Pandora let me vent, answered all my many questions today and gave me insight and a plan to carry out with a list of goals so I could take all the information from my pet and use it to feel empowered and deeply healed. I still miss my Valentino's physical presence but I do feel better after the wonderfully insightful psychic eading I received today She was able to accurately provide me with specific details about my cat and his unique (Lion King) personality. Pandora also described details about people in my past and I found her very intuitive, eager to help and compassionate. Pandora is extremely easy to talk to and worth every penny I spent today because I needed to talk with a genuine channel and medium who absolutely cares about the wellbeing of her clients. I would definitely hire her again for any major life challenges or hard decisions I need to make in the near future. Very few people have a natural gift of clairvoyance so when I personally come across anyone with extraordinary talent and compassion I'm obligated to share them with anyone in need

I have had 3 mediumship sessions with Pandora over the past 3 years or so and they both were great…read more I definitely believe in "something" beyond what we can see and touch, but come out more on the skeptical side of things usually. However, my experiences have been so profound that I am willing to publicly attest to Pandora's skill - both psychic and customer service related. Her website describes her as an "evidential psychic medium" and this is very true. I'll echo the sentiments of others - she really does reference things that she has no way of knowing. I have a VERY limited social media presence, and all of my accounts are set to private (except LinkedIn). However, she honed in mental/physical issues that, not only was I aware of and challenged by, but even mentioned the modalities/solutions I was considering (but avoiding, LOL). I'd say that a unique strength of hers was the ability to pick up on and describe relationship dynamics. It's not just people/places/things...but she describes how those she's connecting to connect those pieces, and the advice they have for you to navigate them. Pandora is not cheap - let me be clear. But she is worth EVERY PENNY. I'm so glad I was able to connect with her.

We simply decided to begin pre-marital counseling because we valued talk therapy and figured it could only be healthy. Little did we know how many communication breakdowns we would be empowered to identify and improve week-after-week. The laughter and tears and happiness and anger which we are free and safe to express with Aysha -- and use to become closer to one another -- is priceless. Aysha has become a crucial part of our relationship. We regularly walk away from our sessions with so much to talk about and in a great place to share our feelings even better than before. And through our weeks, we consistently recall her counseling and refer to her insight. She is truly adept at listening to us and understanding us, but most important, she's helped us better listen and understand each other. I would recommend her to any couple in any level of satisfaction. She's helped us grieve through loss and celebrate each other alike.

Aysha has been so wonderful and understanding through it all, and of course has continued to help me sort out all kinds of long and short-term issues that have prompted me to see therapy. She has flexible hours (LOVE Saturday appointment availability) and is very responsive to emails and phone calls/texts. In short, I would recommend her (and Simply Counseling) without reservation.
