He has given me the tools to trust my instinct and vision, even if that meant asking the right questions to probe my own biases.

Thanks, David!

This review for Sara Dawson is years overdue but it speaks to the impact of her coaching that I am…read morestill using the skills she taught me! Sara is a genuine caring person and an excellent listener. She is entirely present while working with you and she will work hard to understand who you are, your goals, struggles, and how to help you overcome. After every session she writes a detailed recap of what you discussed and what you will work on until the next session. She is so intuitive, intelligent, and open-hearted. She is easy to talk to and you will feel a true bond with her knowing her heart is rooting for you. It's been five years and I still think about all she taught me and I am still moved by how much she cares about others and their success.

I want to be very fair in this review…read more On a personal level, she is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, calm, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. The sessions themselves were relaxing and thoughtfully guided, and I always felt supported and respected during our time together. However, I hired her specifically for weight loss, and unfortunately, I did not lose any weight despite committing significant time, effort, and money to the process. I truly wanted this to work -- but it simply did not produce results for me. I understand that hypnosis may work very well for some people. It just wasn't effective in my case, and I wish I had known sooner so I could have redirected my time and money elsewhere. If you're looking for a caring practitioner and are curious about hypnosis, she may be a good fit. If your primary goal is measurable weight loss, I would recommend going in with realistic expectations and understanding that results are not guaranteed.

Shalynn is extremely professional, articulate, and logical in her approach to working with the subconscious/conscious minds. She doesn't shroud hypnosis in mystery and strangeness, but rather explains it with impressive clarity. I'd recommend her to even the most rigid skeptic. After years and years of therapy, its refreshing to find something that produces real progress quickly, simply, and with ease.

Kat Allen and the Four Aims Center has been so important to me and to my family…read more The Four Aims Center is really a multi-faceted sanctuary tucked next to a corner of the green Lincoln Park in West Seattle, easily accessible from Fauntleroy Avenue and all parts of Seattle. The center that Kat has built is professional but very personal and warm. It invites quiet, open, discussion and revelation. The practice benefits from the environment of the building and the neighborhood. Kat's guidance and wisdom and her quiet calm approach, benefitting both mind and body, is the reason that I am writing. Kat has the life experience to understand and help uncover layers of the daily struggle we all encounter, the depth to understand and guide through personal and family of origin explorations, personal history, and the breadth to help individuals, couples, and families. She does not judge, she guides, sometimes simply listening, often reflecting. Her repertoire includes deep personal investigation and teaching experience in yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and spiritual exploration as well as traditional counseling and therapy. Kat is incredibly knowledgeable about the standard experts in psychology and therapy wile also offering a broad approach and the ability to reach for the seasoned experiences of meditative and spiritual masters. The Four Aims Center is a unique environment to unfold personal questions and explorations in a peaceful and trusting setting. If you are exploring yourself and your life and looking for guidance I highly recommend you have a conversation with Kat Allen.

After our session Amanda sent me her notes which included the top three actionable steps we spoke about that I could apply immediately to my life. I can honestly say that they have made a noticeable difference since I applied them three weeks ago - both to my emotional wellbeing and to my sleep quality. They are now part of (and will stay part of) my regular practice. She also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutritional changes one can make that will help meet your mental/physical health goals which I also appreciate. It's definitely worth your time to check out a session with Amanda.

Over a year ago I was not doing well at work. I was recommended to seek out a Career Coach. Little…read moredid I know how helpful Shawn was. Shawn was beyond helpful! He helped me from struggling to getting a promotion! In one year! He is always prepared for every meeting and remembers everything we talk about. It didn't feel like a meeting with a coach/therapist. It felt like I was catching up with an old friend. I will more than likely continue my work with Shawn, not because I have to, but because I want to. Thank you so much for your help and support Shawn!

About a year or so ago I was searching for a career coach to help me find "the work I was meant to…read moredo". Prior to working with Shawn, I thought that a career coach would assess my skills and then tell me what role/job I should do. Very quickly, I learned that that was not how the process worked and I couldn't be happier to have been wrong. Shawns' process helped me uncover what truly makes me happy, what kind of team I want to be a part of, what kind of organization I want to be a part of, and most importantly what job responsibilities would make me happy on a daily basis. For anyone looking to get a better understanding of their skills and job desires and use that knowledge to find a role that fits what you're looking for, then I'd recommend working with Shawn. While I found Shawn via Yelp, I also found a handful of other career coaches on the platform. I chose Shawn due to his business background and the fact that he was a true "Career Coach". I had a business background so it felt like a good fit and I was looking for a "career" specific coach versus a "Life/Career" coach. I worked with Shawn (In-person - I used to live in Seattle) for ~6 sessions. He broke down each session ahead of time so I knew what work I had to accomplish before our meetings and what to expect to talk about in our meetings. The work was challenging and thought provoking, but it really helped me discover my skills, shortcomings, non-negotiable and ultimately led me to the work that I wanted to do. He helped me define what I was looking for in a role, including: team structure, day-to-day responsibilities, environment, reporting structure, and more. He helped me gain confidence that even though I didn't have a background in design, I had inherent skills and aptitudes for the field. One year removed for working with Shawn, I landed a new role in a new career. Shawn helped me find a career path and happiness in my work. Working with Shawn really helped me understand my abilities and clearly define what I was looking for. Once I was able to define my ideal role, I was able to go out and get it. All in all Shawn was a major asset to helping me find the role I'm currently in. I would recommend him to anyone searching for a career coach. Just know, the work is hard but very rewarding!!!!
