I've always been curious about meditation and decided to give this place a try based on other Yelp…read morereviews. My husband and I enrolled in the Level 1 Meditation class, which is free, and lasts for 12 weeks. It definitely is a commitment, but we attended all but one class (due to Thanksgiving break) and really found it so enjoyable and fulfilling. To note, this is Zen Buddhism that they are teaching, so if you are particular about that, it's something to consider. The Shifu who runs the class is really insightful and funny. (I think he's absolutely endearing!!) He made the classes fly by. The way they go is that the first half of class is dedicated to teaching you the basics of Zen meditation (chanting, sitting, walking). The second half is lecture in the dining hall, otherwise known as Dharma talks, which teach you a lot of the practical and traditional aspects of Zen Buddhism and meditation. Overall, going here has helped my hubby and I connect a lot better and learn how to handle stress in a more calm way. We definitely would have joined the level 2 class if we hadn't moved up north. I try to visit and meditate here whenever I am in the South Bay :)

I've visited many temples in the past due to my Buddhist mother dragging me, but this temple is the…read moreonly one that I really enjoy and actually will go on my free will. :P I took the level 1 meditation class in English, which I find is really rare. The other temples that I've been to only speak Chinese or Vietnamese. I don't understand Chinese very well, so I was very happy to find English courses here. The teacher is Shifu JianYing, who is a happy and funny monk. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The lectures are enlightening, fun, and enjoyable. I highly recommend taking the class if you have time (once a week for 2 hours for 12 weeks), and it's free too! :)

I am inspired to post this after seeing the latest review. I worked with Josephine 2 years ago and…read moreI've never had the courage to post a review about her. Truly the only positive thing about her is that she understood my issues with my Asian mother. Other than that, she has no empathy and I don't understand how she's been working as a therapist for so long. Like other reviews have mentioned, she would yell at me and cuss me out as well and never apologize. I will never forget when she yelled at me and made me cry and all she said was "Wipe your nose." During my last call with her, she has never apologized for any of this and just acts like nothing happened. I truly don't understand how people describe her as kind and empathetic after how she treated me. Maybe she just clicks with certain people. Maybe she just looks at people like me and others that she has mistreated as hopeless causes. I remember when she would keep asking me to post a review about her, which is probably why her reviews on Google are overwhelmingly positive. Well Josephine, here is my review.

She provides great tools and insight in all facets of my life in such a short amount of time (6 months). Before meeting Leah, I was lost and confused with my career, love life, and self worth. She helped nourish a certain part of me that I was always reluctant to feel and had a hard time in trusting in myself. She also empowered me to make the necessary changes and gave me the right tools to tackle all that problems that hindered my personal growth. She is extremely intuitive and empathetic in her methods of coaching and it made our sessions highly productive. I cannot thank her enough for the development and progress that I have made for the last six months. I highly recommend her to anyone that is having problems in any aspects of their life and are willing to change for the better. She has been a true blessing to my life and I am forever grateful for her.

I reached out to Life Remade based on the Yelp reviews. I had been struggling with major life…read moreevents - death, loss of a friend, illness, lack of clarity on where I want to go or do in my life. One day, I reached out and was connected with Tess Zeito. Our first call was serendipitous - I knew at the end of the 30 minutes that we were meant to work together and meet. I started with the 8 weeks plan with the option to extend. I am finishing up my 8 weeks and I put in the work and stayed committed to working with Tess every week. I feel transformed, empowered and have so much clarity. I trusted the process and now am going to extend my time with Tess as there is more ground to cover, especially around professional development. I am so glad Tess is my life coach. She helped me transform and get out of a fear loop that was holding me back. I am beyond grateful to Tess. Thank you.

As soon as I read about Sara I reached out and had a telephone consultation to identify if the needs we had would match with Sara's expertise - and they did! My child benefited from regular video calls with Sara where their relationship with food was discussed and a plan set up to begin the journey towards recovery. Sara always demonstrated patience & empathy towards my child as well as actionable, useful advice. My child felt comfortable sharing with Sara and knew that she had their best interests at heart. We have since entered recovery and my child is in a much healthier space with 'themself' and with their relationship with food and I know this is very much down to the part Sara played in walking this journey with us and using her expertise to help guide and gently challenge my child's relationship with food. I highly recommend Sara as a Nutritional Therapist.
