I found her to be very professional, accessible and perceptive to my needs. She was able to chunk down frustrating parts of my business, especially marketing and make it do-able. I was able to see areas that I was wasting my time and money in and focus on aspects that have gotten me significant results in clientele and revenue. I feel comfortable recommending Baraka to an individual, a self-employed contractor, or a large firm.

It was after that I had a personal healing with her and I had no idea what direction our treatment would go. If you come with an open heart and open mind, she will meet you there! Jessie has the capacity to hold immaculate space with so much compassion and the quality of what it means to be a human. I feel grateful for our time together and look forward to the next group or 1-1!

She brings a…read moreunique combination of modalities to her practice, coaching, energy healing, and channeling, all grounded in neuroscience and psychology alongside her intuitive gifts. Her energy healing sessions provided deep relaxation that helped re-center me during particularly challenging times. With her consistent support and guidance, I've become someone I couldn't have imagined years ago. She helped me challenge limiting beliefs and patterns, providing warm, judgment-free support as I navigated major life transitions - leaving my career, taking on new professional challenges, and stepping into deeper unknowns. Working with her created a safe space to explore spiritual questions without judgment. The work we did together allowed me to truly embody myself and meet the parts of me that needed love and attention. She helped me first rediscover my ability to dream, then gave me the tools to step into those dreams with confidence. While these qualities were always within me, I'm not sure I would have found them without her skillful guidance. I'm grateful for the journey we've shared and would recommend her to anyone seeking supportive, grounded coaching for transformation.

I honestly do not know where to begin in sharing my life-coaching experience with Carla - it has…read morebeen equal parts inspirational, transformative, empowering, and as time goes by and I continue to grow, learn and evolve, I find new ways that our time together has impacted me. Our program / contract was three months but almost daily since then I see ways that Carla's teaching along with her patience and her genuine love for a sister grappling with seachanges (me) has shifted my perceptions of myself and how I relate with others in such a life affirming way. More specifically, my needs were guidance and support as I entered a season of major life changes. Carla provided this in a way that warmed my teacher's heart - in weekly sessions we identified goals, struggles, behaviors and choices that do not serve me. Carla shared different practices to target different issues, gave praise when I was moving in positive directions (and encouragement when I was not). It was a lot, but my desire to take hold of my life and figure things out (to whatever point I was able) motivated me. And Carla motivated me, because she had such sincere belief that I could do this thing! Carla's lovingkindness to her fellow human being is her standout quality - it is evident in her honest responses to interactive journal entries, or when as a firm but gentle guide she drills down to what needs to be exposed and seen and understood. She wanted me to be able to do these things on my own. There is something very selfless in this approach - she wants me to have all the tools so I can go forward without fear, grounded in a sense of my own value and worth, understanding and nurturing my passions and my real authentic self. I'm still on the journey of change, and look forward to visiting Carla for a check-in / check-up soon. But the bottom line is that I cannot recommend her more highly as a life coach, a guide, and a friend.

Aloha! I regularly meet with Carla and our time is always…read morespiritually grounding, intellectually stimulating and filled with joy, laughter and warm heart-based connection. I especially appreciate her guiding us through mindful meditations and when she offers Reiki. I am an artist, mystic and sobador and talismanist, and with many thanks to Carla, I am thriving in my endeavors. I can always count on Carla to remind me of my infinite potential and I appreciate her intuitive nature which always seems to offer loving light as i continue along path. I highly recommend Carla and I encourage anyone seeking life-coach guidance, intuitive readings, reiki or just someone who can hold space, to go visit with her for a greater sense of clarity and support. Mahalo and Aloha!

What more can I say about Lynette? She is a person of the highest character out there. I've known…read moreLynette since early-mid 2000's and have helped her with some of Market Research events for Wild Alchemy during my younger days. I have always looked up to Lynette's leadership and how she practices such a great thinking strategy. From her, I learned to how to think on my feet quickly, calculate multiple solutions, and select the best options for success. I may not work in Advertising. Today, I'm a Nurse Practitioner at UCSF's Children's Hospital of Oakland. But the lessons I've learned in how to be a transformational leader and how to creatively problem solve has gotten me very far in life. I highly recommend my old friend, Lynette and Wild Alchemy, to any company who is looking for comprehensive advancement. And she'll teach you how to do it with the highest of integrity. No, she did not pay me for this! I'm writing this out of sincere gratitude for someone who has made a huge impact on me as a person. Andy

I recently found myself in unfamiliar territory. It was 6:30 in the morning, and I could not get…read moreout of bed. I realize that this is a daily struggle for many people. And I sympathize. But it is not my struggle. Mornings for me, even pitch black mornings where the sun is not expected to make an appearance for hours are my full-blown Cinderella experience with birds chirping at the window and friendly mice selecting my outfit and braiding my hair and telling me I look fabulous now go get this day, girlfriend! I don't linger in bed. Ever. Except recently, I had been doing it more and more often. I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied at work. But I was not willing to face that reality or do anything about it. After all, I had been doing similar work for 20 years. And I am good at it. Incessant organization, task mastery, and levitating innumerable balls in the air simultaneously? Piece. Of. Cake. Though with each passing day it was becoming less easy and less interesting and less what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Enter Nurture Life Coaching. I first met with Savannah of Nurture Life Coaching in April. I did not know what to expect. Would this be a regularly scheduled whine-fest where I complained that I did not know what I wanted to do, boo hoo? Would I be signing up for endless weekly sessions where little progress was made? Would I have to learn some entirely new woo-woo vocabulary about inner light and chosen paths? Not. Even. A. Little. After a free initial consultation where we each evaluated whether or not we would work well together, we dove right into our work, which included homework and between-appointment check-ins and immediate progress. Savannah has a great way of helping you focus your thoughts, summon your drive, and find answers to your own questions. She once told me that she helps people see the answer they already know. She challenged some of my core beliefs about what I do and helped me see that making a change was an exciting opportunity, not an indication of failure after 20 years of doing the same thing. And once I was able to see my situation differently, everything else seemed to fall into place. This is not a what's-your-spirit-animal experience. It is hard work. It is evaluative and introspective and difficult. Savannah is an intelligent, focused, and patient professional. She pushes you towards progress each time you meet. She may just change your life.

After decades of counseling, family therapy, energy work, etc., finding this amazing woman has been a godsend for both me and other family members looking for a solid breakthrough from old patterns and lingering issues. At first, Heather looked almost "too young" and "too pretty" to be effective ( as I am many decades older than she) but she is incredibly wise beyond her years, an amazing therapist with deep insight. She gets to the heart of the matter and has seen me through and beyond heartache and pain, into greater connection with myself and my family.' Heather has helped me craft letters and form conversations that help me communicate my truth to people I love and this has helped transform several of my family relationships in such positive ways. I especially love her use of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and find it to be a highly meaningful and effective modality. Heather has helped both me and my daughter heal ancient trauma, negative patterns and issues we'd not gotten past with previous therapists. I am happy to sing her praises and to highly recommend her services.
