Mary is amazing! I found her through a guided meditation event she was hosting (new moon/full moon)…read moreand absolutely loved it. I went on to try Reiki services (which I never tried before and was skeptical) and it was incredible! I have referred several friends and all have felt the same! It is hard to find someone who is both a Licensed Counselor and a Reiki Master Practioner. Let alone find one in the suburbs. Mary is both and is a god send. She is relatable, wise, positive, and funny. Her office is so relaxing and welcoming. Her love of what she does and the clients she serves shines through in her work, and her ability to combine traditional and non traditional therapies is a gift! Highly recommend River's Journey and am excited to go back!

I have been going to Mary for many years now. Mary has been there to support me through the ups…read moreand downs of life- from seriously losses to the stress that comes with any job. She is never judgmental and always compassionate. Mary will help lead you through life with a positive outlook and give you the tools you need to move forward. After a year of seeing Mary, I decided to give reiki a try. Reiki is "a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being." At first the idea of reiki sounded crazy to me. But after my first experience of doing reiki with Mary I am a true believer in its powers. I highly recommend Rivers Journey Counseling.

I struggled with quitting smoking for years . I tried everything including medications, books and…read morecold turkey. NOTHING worked for me until I made an appointment with Marc at Meridian Peak. I had 3 sessions of hypno therapy. However, my last cigarette was before walking into my first session. I have not smoked for 30 days since at first I thought it was a lot of money to spend and what if it didn't work . When in actuality it was equivalent to the cost I would spend for 2 months of smoking . The easiest investment I have made thus far . If you are looking to change any of your behavior or deal with any issues you are having mentally , I would suggest you give them a call . I am truly grateful I have My life back!

TLDR: I accepted a new offer at Capital One. The time I spent with Wilma gave me the confidence I…read moreneeded to know I would nail the interview process. Details: I highly recommend Wilma if you are prepping for job interviews and feeling nervous, discouraged or any of the other feelings that come along with the search for a new job. I was a few months into my job search. I was getting quick responses from several companies just based on my resume which was encouraging. I'd talk to the recruiter and they'd quickly pass me onto the next stage (interviews with the lead or team). I always felt they went well but didn't materialize into an offer. I had an opportunity at Capital One that I really wanted to nail so I called on Wilma who was referred to me by my husbands business networking group. When I knew Wilma and I were going to be spending an hour drilling mock interview questions, I was very nervous. But it was anything but. Shes incredibly thoughtful and direct, while also building up my confidence. She also provided a sheet of interview Qs to ask beyond the typical "why do you like working here". I asked everyone I spoke with the culture Q she shared -- "whose leadership style in the organization inspires you and why" -- and EVERY single person paused to say "that's a great question" before giving me very different responses which made me feel good about the company to hear great things about very different people at Capital One. I will keep your information on hand for the future and would be happy to recommend your services to anyone I know!

Thank you so much to Wilma and Life Working for guiding me through such a big transition in my…read morelife. As a teacher for the past 12 years with many (what I thought to be) niche skills, I did not think I had many options for a new career. With the help of career assessments and coaching services, Wilma helped me figure out the value of my transferable skills. Wilma's personality, confidence, and humor are contagious. I believe that without her, I would not have gotten the first job for which I applied and interviewed. She was so understanding and supportive of me from the very beginning. I had to pause my career search so that I could focus on my mental health while working at my previous job, and Wilma was very patient with me. She maintained the same high level of understanding, support, and patience as I navigated taking career assessments, job searching, coaching, resume/cover letter writing, networking, interview preparation, and negotiation. Wilma made herself available to me, she listened to me, and provided me with great advice and insights. She was open, honest, and judgment-free. She is a breath of fresh air, and I was truly impressed with her and her company from start to finish. I highly recommend investing in yourself and hiring Life Working to help you at such an important time in your life. You will learn so much about yourself along the way! Thank you, Wilma, and thank you, Life Working!
