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 researched hypnosis and found Meridian Peak. When I called the person on the phone (turns out it was Marc) set me at ease and I knew I was in good hands. After one session my daughter didn't ask for anti-nausea pills the entire day and the next few days. As we continued she was better and better and now she hasn't had nausea since. I am amazed at how wonderful and caring they are. Marc is fantastic and I couldn't be more thankful that I found this place. If you are looking for help I highly recommend trying Meridian Peak.

Well, yes, but not nearly as well as these professionals who have been in the business for much longer. They rewrote my resume in a way I never could have (I tried). But the most helpful part of the package was the interview prep session. I couldn't believe how well Wilma captured my experience and gave me the words to use that fit the role perfectly, without exaggerating. This service is worth the money. It will help you land a good job. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. You invest in yourself, and you reap the rewards.

My wife and I had done couples therapy previously but found that we didn't get much out of it. But…read moreafter another rough period, we resolved to give it a try again and went searching for someone in the local vicinity who had good reviews. And I - very fortuitously - happened to come across Hedy. And - six months later - our experience has been terrific. Hedy has a process and framework that she uses to analyze and probe our relationship and past history which has been extremely different from our prior experience that just seemed more of the standard therapy that we had become accustomed to. While I initially had a little trepidation about the 100-minute sessions, I've found that they're helpful to really delve into certain aspects of our relationship and respective histories that help to provide perspective. I'm someone who is typically pretty rigid and analytical, and she's helped me to see our relationship - and in particular my behavior within it - in an entirely different way. And it's been so eye-opening and refreshing to get this other perspective as I absolutely don't think I would've reached this stage on our own. Is my relationship repaired? No, it's only been six months, and we have a lot of healing to do. But Hedy has helped provide a lot of the building blocks for a healthier relationship. And I'm extremely thankful we found her as she's exactly what we needed to take steps forward and address some of the issues that we were having difficulty working through.

I ended up getting a very strange lady doctor. She kept trying to figure out why I was here and says that i dont listen good.

The positive posts about him are bogus. When I would go to his office, other patients had complaints about him too and were currently looking for another Dr. He had an office in Palos, when they switched over they asked him to leave bc of the patient complaints about him.
