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.

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.

He is extremely personable and kind, which helped put me immediately at ease and open to the hypnosis process. Also, his space in the Gold Coast is so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend.

But, if you want empirical data... she does a 360 review with managers/peers/reports at the beginning of the coaching engagement and then at the conclusion, and I can tell you that she helped me move the marker to demonstrate my improvement in my skills including communication, engagement and leadership.

Although some time has passed since I first met with Lillie for one-on-one talk therapy, my…read moreexperience and subsequent results of her work are no less diminished. Lillie was a caring, insightful, and supportive therapist during one of the worst emotional periods of my life. My first session with Lillie was in late winter 2018 as I was battling episodes of depression, insecurity, and loss of self-worth due to a rough social relationship. I had never visited a therapist before, but felt that my day-to-day anxiety and misery was becoming too much and I should seek support. Lillie was covered under my company's employee benefits plan as a mental health specialist, and I met with her for a total of 5 sessions over the span of 2 months. Immediately, Lillie was welcoming and kind-hearted. She was an exceptional listener and a clear communicator. When we first began digging into areas of tension or disruption for me, my social relationship issue came pouring out in tears, and she listened intently the entire time. Never passing judgement, always seeking ways to ask intentional questions that helped me address the root of the issue, and what I could be doing to begin the healing process. I learned so many important lessons during my work with Lillie, but the three most influential ones that left lasting impressions on my mindset and lifestyle were: the power of being present, understanding the healing process, and turning energy inward. For the first lesson, Lillie would give me "homework" on how to practice was to be truly present in my daily life, as one of my biggest issues was that my mind was stuck in a negative thought loop and was fixated on the pessimistic aspects of my social relationship issue. She helped me break that loop and turn my consciousness to things happening right now, instead of things in the past that I agonized over. Secondly, she always made it clear that healing was a process - this was a difficult but necessary message that I needed to hear, and I'm glad Lillie conveyed it clearly. Even though I cried at the thought that I wasn't going to be "over it" anytime soon, that I would have more weeks of cyclical negative emotions, I learned that this is normal and the body/mind need time to absorb shock, grieve, process, and heal. Once I accepted that, I was able to take steps towards working through that process more effectively. Lastly, she helped me see how much of my energy I was spending on distraction from the true issue in order to avoid pain - I was focusing my attention and energy on everything I could find that would keep me busy, except the thing that needed the most attention: myself. This lesson hurt the most, but it was also the most effective one. I needed to sit with my emotions, with myself, and stop trying to fill the void with trivial things like drinking, going out, dating people I didn't really know or care about, etc. I needed to learn to be comfortable alone, which is a value that I still respect with the utmost importance to this very day (2 years later). I have Lillie to thank for that personal victory. Overall, Lillie is poised and professional, but also offers a safe and open space for you to do the most important self-work. Rating 4 stars instead of 5 only because I've never been to another therapist and don't have any other comparison. She was a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone interested in talk therapy for any reason, personal or otherwise.

Similar to last time, this business will appeal to Yelp to take it down claiming it's fraudulent but that's just the cut throat business acumen behind Jody Michael.

If you're desperate to find a path forward, consider upskilling, get a career coach (not whatever Jody claims to be) and focus on positive mindset. For these brief sessions, you will be charged hundreds of dollars and sometimes Jody will take calls while on vacation and cut them short!

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!

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!
