My work with Judith has been nothing short of life changing and I will be forever grateful for the incredible tools/gifts she has given me during our 6 sessions together! When I came to her initially, I was struggling with over 20 years of sleep issues - I was extremely sleep deprived and felt on the verge of becoming seriously ill due to lack of quality rest. In just one session, she reversed decades of sleep difficulties and gave me helpful tools and tips to get a good night's rest. Granted, being a doctor in psychology, I was already trying to incorporate CBT-i sleep habits to improve my rest, but Judith's skills in hypnosis and stress reduction cannot compare to anything I've researched prior. I also wanted to work on my own childhood trauma and previous generations of built-up trauma that resulted in anger issues and difficulties being gentle with myself and others. I already saw a PhD for CBT work, and while his services were good, I feel they did not compare to the time, attention, and support I received in working with Judith. I really wanted to release unhelpful ties to past generations (both emotional and physical/health-related) so I opted to add 1 extra session to her 5-pack, so we were able to devote the 5th and 6th sessions on epigenetic work, which was such a useful and healing experience, I'm really glad I did that! Throughout my time with Judith, my husband and coworkers would mention how I appeared well-rested and that I seemed in much better spirits such as being able to regulate my emotions more effectively. Overall, I cannot recommend Judith's services enough! She is such a lovely and caring person; I found her hypnosis experiences to be so peaceful and transformative, and I felt so safe during them. My husband is also working with her now after seeing such a change in me and says he's finding it very helpful. I feel that hypnosis is extremely underrated and would be helpful for targeting a plethora of issues. Having researched many coaches in the area, I think that a lot of the growth/change depends on who is guiding you in hypnosis and I believe that very few can measure up to Judith's experience and knowledge. I will miss Judith and Riley so much and am forever grateful to have been able to work with the two of them! read more

I originally sought out Judith for career counseling. After our free initial consultation, she recommended that I see her for hypnosis first, since I was carrying around quite a large amount of emotional baggage. Depressed, physically ill for going on month 7, and feeling devoid of hope, I eventually agreed to try it out. If I had known then what I now know about hypnosis, I would have found Judith much earlier in my life. I have about 20 years of experience with all sorts of counseling. 5 hypnosis sessions later, I had gone from feeling hopeless and full of anhedonia to feeling interested in life, excited for the future, and much more at peace with my issues and who I am. I would have originally told you that hypnosis couldn't possibly be effective for more severe mental illnesses and existential crises--and I'm so happy to tell you that I would have been wrong. I can't believe the lifelong work that Judith guided me through in a total of 11 hours. I initially thought her prices were expensive, but now that I've realized what she does in that time, I know she drastically undercharges because she is passionate about helping people heal. Judith is such an understanding, compassionate, insightful person, and she will tell you exactly what she thinks she can help with, and what behaviors you have that don't seem to be working for you. She offers more opinions and suggestions than a therapist might, and as someone who wants to problem-solve and think through issues, that worked really well for me. I haven't ever specifically been a dog person, but I'm definitely a Riley person, because that sweet little dog of hers is definitely part of the magic of Judith. Whether you're a pragmatist, a cynic, religious/spiritual, or a full-on hippie, Judith has something great to offer everyone, and a very versatile and eclectic approach. You don't have to believe me. Take her up on the free consultation. It has had more of an impact on me than decades of counseling, and I'd love for everyone reading this review to get to feel as happy, healthy, and hopeful as I do now. read more

I highly recommend Judith as a life coach. I have had the privilege of receiving coaching services from her and have found it to be one of the most influential life changing experiences I have ever had. Her coaching abilities are extraordinary. She is insightful, understanding, empathetic and intuitive. I have received more benefit from her skills and direction than I did from a career counselor, self-growth books and counselors in the mental health field. Judith utilizes a wealth of resources and techniques to help effect change, push through plateaus and create an environment of learning and acceptance. She provides specific activities and assignments geared towards the individual's immediate and long term needs. She projects confidence to her clients and provides a sense of hope while traveling along a sometimes foggy journey. Her coaching skills help emphasize the journey and not just the destination. Judith has a positive, practical and humorous look at life that is infectious, inviting and encouraging. She feels comfortable in sharing her own struggles and successes and not only coaches, but acts like a "best friend", giving honest feedback and useful insights. I would not hesitate to recommend Judith as a life coach. I sing her praises to anyone who will listen and believe she is well qualified to assist anyone going through life transitions. Coaching is not just a job for her; it is a calling, a passion and a purpose. I am deeply grateful for what Judith has helped me do for my life. I now have tools to use, not just concepts and very practical ways of discovering my purpose and passions. She has helped me tap into who I am and identify my significance to the world. Before meeting Judith, I didn't know anything about life coaching or what it entailed. Now, I realize what an important service Judith provides and truly found good value in my life coaching investment. read more

I recently went to Wise Heart Coaching for hypnotherapy and had an excellent experience. It was my first time with a hypnotherapist, and I not was certain what to expect, but I left feeling clear headed, motivated, happy and satisfied. I sought her services for soul work, hoping to get a better grasp on my career, and personal relationships. Judith made me feel extremely comfortable and accepted, her office is equally as quaint and calming as she is. Judith was sure to explain to me what hypnosis is, and she did so in a very compelling way which definitely deepened my understanding. She welcomed any questions I had and before starting she took the time to get to know me and ask me what I was hoping to learn and get from my session with her. All of these steps Judith took and the setting she created helped me to relax and speak easy during our session. I found that the foundation she built was very important to me and my sub-conscience, the trust we formed made it so that we could dig deeper and find answers to the questions I had for myself. I am very glad that I found Wise Heart Coaching and that I was able to have this opportunity to explore my purpose and soul with Judith. She was lovely, and I look forward to my time to come with her. read more

This past Spring of 2015 I was going through a very difficult time in my life. I was very depressed, didn't know how to approach looking for a career with my Master's degree, and had also been a habitual smoker for the better part of 20 years. I have known Judith for nearly six years, and she had offered hypnotherapy sessions for me in the past. I felt the time had come for me to seek help, and over the course of eight sessions, I had addressed and conquered my depression, knew what steps to take in seeking a new career in my new field, and had stopped smoking for good. Judith is fantastic in how she approaches the issues and problems of her clients, and I am forever indebted to her help. She is not only a wonderful life coach and therapist, but a dear friend as well who also injects humor into her sessions. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is going through a rough patch in their lives and is willing to work for being free of what has chained them down in the past. read more

I first met with Judith when I first moved to Oregon -- at the time of the consultation, I knew Judith was the person that would help guide me on my path of healing. She has such a great energy! After the consultation I didn't see Judith until 6 months later (due to financial setbacks); but let me tell you, the work that she does is 100% worth every bit! I saw Judith for 5 sessions, and through hypnotherapy and her guidance, I have learned to let go of past memories and feelings that were hindering me today. I was able to change my perspective; see myself in a new light with this, now, glowing confidence. I also have a greater understanding of myself and the experiences I had causing the pain in my life. It's truly remarkable. Judith is incredible!! I would also love to do other session with Judith to further my spiritual grow! Lots of love to Judith and the amazing work that she does! read more

Thanks to Judith's expertise I had the easiest time quitting smoking! I never imagined hypnotherapy would be so effective. After smoking for almost 40 years (except for a seven-year and two-year abstinence), I dreaded going through the process of quitting. Nevertheless, I had decided that smoking did not satisfy me anymore and needed to quit. I didn't want to use drugs to quit so I turned to Judith. I never worried about whether the process would work, but I was bracing myself to go through intense craving, especially the first few weeks. To my surprise, I had absolutely ZERO cravings. At key times throughout the first days (after coffee, meals, etc.), I would think that I usually smoked at those times but felt no real compulsion to light up. It has been four week since I smoked, I have no desire to go back to smoking for any reason. Thanks, Judith! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Judith several times. I was skeptical at first. Judith coached me through a tough time after I gave birth to twins.. Our sessions really helped give me the tools that I needed to learn how to balance motherhood, my relationship with my husband while still maintaining my own identity. Together we came up with a plan that I honestly believe saved my marriage and sanity. There were two other times that I was struggling. Both times, it was Judith who came to mind and from whom I sought coaching. She is the best! Judith is wonderful, compassionate listening ear with experience, a wide variety of skills and will leave no stone unturned as she helps you to accomplish your goals. She has my highest recommendation. read more

I received so much more than I signed up for. My work with Judith supersedes my goals with overcoming severe anxiety-- It was a revelation of patterns that dominated my life hidden in my blind spots. And I am someone who considered herself quite spiritually in tune. Judith taught me that my evolution will always be an ongoing and ever-changing process, and I opened myself up to so much more about life and its necessary complexities. I gained insight, maturity, perspective, self-expansion, renewed sense of responsibility, and most of all, learning to take care of myself better. read more

I went to Judith because I was awarded a free Life Purpose Hypnotherapy session at a coaches event. As a coach and healer myself, I was curious to learn about another modality for healing. In the sacred and safe space that she created, I found several pieces of myself that I had not been able to access on my own. I came away with new insight and a profound respect for the work that she does. Regardless of the current level of self-knowledge a client brings to the process, Judith offers a path to expanded awareness. She is indeed a Wise Heart. read more

When I first met with Judith I was floundering in my career direction and my personal life. I was driven to make some big changes but was overwhelmed and emotionally empty. After twelve sessions I now feel equipped and hopeful about the direction I am taking my life. Judith is an exceptional woman who balances a sensitive and caring approach with practical solutions and getting *!#@ done. My time working with her has been invaluable. If I find I need more help in the future I will definitely come to back to Judith. read more

Im thankful to have the opportunity in working with Judith, she gave more than enough tools that helped me from my childhood traumas, that will help me in the now, but also the future. I felt comfortable and open to share about my life and know that I was treated with respect, love and positivity. I would recommend for anyone who is dealing with any challenges or feels stuck. I came in with a low state of mind and since then Im stronger confident individual. Thank you the amazing support and work you do! read more

When I walked into Judith's office, I had no sense of direction, I doubted myself in every aspect of my life. After Judith listened to my story, we decided that hypnosis was going to be the best option for me experience, in order to heal my heart, body and mind, from anger and fear. With her guidance, I was able to tap into deep issues that were keeping me from fulfilling my potential, I was able to forgive and let go. Judith help me see and find my self worth, and helped me transformed my life. read more

Judith has a very warm heart and has a special enthusiasm for what she does. She genuinely cares about her clients and you can really feel that from her, in every session. Judith helped me take my life back. She helped me through many struggles, and I am now at a place I couldn't imagine possible before hypnosis. I would 100% recommend Judith, if you're looking for someone who will help you feel empowered, strong, beautiful and worthy, and help you to become the person you've always wanted to be. read more

Judith and Riley (her dog) are amazing. They've helped me with so much - I've even had a massive reduction in migraines and other health concerns after some of the clearing work Judith has guided me on. Most recently she's been helping me with what's called "Spiritual Journeys".... WOW.... she's guiding and helping me to do self-hypnosis to meet my spirit guides and reach a higher level of consciousness. Her calm voice and warm energy is so amazing! I couldn't thank you enough Judith!!! read more

Through hypnosis and coaching with Judith, I was able to greatly reduce my low level anxiety. I felt safe with her and knew that she had my best interests at heart. I've been to therapy many times before, but Judith's coaching was amazing. She was tough, but compassionate. She approached coaching in a whole new way for me--visualizations were extremely helpful. I know that I would be very comfortable going back for a refresher if needed and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. read more

Amazing! Judith presented again today at Tigard Bridges Networking group. Her topic: "Losing weight with Gastric Band Hypnosis." Say what? That's right, she can hypnotically install a band around an overweight person's stomach and have them convince themselves that they feel full with just a small amount of food. It's a special therapy she uses to help people achieve their weight loss goals. Judith is a knowledgeable and energetic caregiver that can get results for you. read more

Coaching pushed me to evaluate myself and my relationships. Each session left me with something to think about for the coming week. I am empowered to be more direct and not apologize for things that are not my fault. I no longer beat myself up. Judith is a fantastic coach and listener. She boosted my self-confidence and gave me a more focused outlook on life by steering me away from blaming others and showing me, instead, how I can bring about positive changes in my life. read more
