I had a challenging 2024. I visited with three different therapist/coaches with minimal or little change to how I handle my frustrations, thoughts and anxiety . I have always wanted to improve who I want to be, and to envision life and the world around me in a more positive way. After striking out with the first three others I found Alisha. She has given the tools each week to face life and its challenges with fresh hope. To say it has been life changing is an understatement. She always starts our session with a huge warm smile that immediately sets the mood for an epic hour. I would highly recommend Alisha to literally everyone. I cannot say enough great things about her. She has helped me to be a more optimistic, positive person that I always wanted to be. Soon I will be "Fiercely Optimistic" and am enjoying my journey to get there. read more

Alisha is a true Gem! She understands people like nobody else. What a great practitioner.

I found Alisha by chance with zero expectations and she has been such a gift to my life. She has helped me so much in my relationships and continues to provide a safe place for me. I was always hesitant in seeking therapy because of that first step but she makes it so easy! She meets me at my level every time. If you're reading this and looking for a therapist, I'm telling you now.. she is worth that step!! read more

I feel compelled to write this review because the work Alisha does is so good on every level and I am so grateful to have found her. She has knowledge in a vast array of topics from physical symptoms in body correlating to emotional issue to understanding empathic people, navigating relationships and current events/happenings in society that may be affecting you or your family. She has a way of injecting humor where its needed and I always feel lighter after a session with her. She's held space for me when I needed it and helps validate me trusting my intuition. She truly wants to help people live their best life as their best self. I have referred multiple friends to her and they all LOVE her (men and women). Highly recommend. read more

I have been working with Alisha the past few months and enthusiastically recommend her services. A few months back I lost a dear friend/mentor and was experiencing some hurdles in my life. I was looking for someone to guide me through the turbulent waters of grief and I couldn't have asked for a more compassionate and graceful soul to help get me through. She is a wonderful master at her craft and I have already learned so much in the process. To say I'm thankful would be an understatement. read more

On my very first call with Alisha, I vividly remember feeling her genuine and positive vibes just through talking on the phone and it was even more so memorable in comparison to other coaches whom I had inquired with as well. I immediately booked my first official session with her a few days after and I have no idea where the tears and laughter came from but Alisha brought it out of me somehow. And these were all of my bottled up emotions that needed to be let out - and it felt GOOD. I've now had 3 sessions with her. And it's unbelievable how much value, clarity and joy I've been able to get just from the 1 hour time we have per session. Alisha puts her whole heart, mind, and soul into helping you become a better you. So fast forward to today - it is my birthday. And I'm now a year older. And I'm also the happiest I've been in a long while. So truly... thank you so much Alisha. You are a miracle worker!!! read more

Alisha has helped me tremendously in 2020 and I'm so incredibly glad our paths crossed. She has help me to understand my place here on earth and my mission to serve. I was struggling with my transition from a military life style to the civilian world and she eased that process while also helping me grow as an individual mentally physically spiritually & emotionally. The biggest battle field is not the one fought on foreign soil but the one fought within your own head. Thank you Alisha you have provided me tools that'll be instrumental to my progression throughout the rest of my life. read more

I commited to 6 sessions with Alisha and worked on my self growth and relationship. Alisha is very professional and attentive, she has given me the space that I needed to talk and to vent out all my chaotic unorganized thought, she listened without judgment and often asked questions to lead me to think deeper to what could be the underlying problems. I really enjoyed talking to Alisha, she is experience and open to any topic I'm willing to share. The more open I am, the more material she has to work with and in return the more insight I can benefit from. I like that she challenged my thought and told me straight up when she disagreed my thought sometimes and she welcomes me to do the same if I disagree with her, it was a healthy, constructive conversation. These sessions have trainned me to think more positively and I'be learned to ask myself questions when I am facing conflicts in my life. I sometimes would still ask myself , how would Alisha challenges my thought at certain situation. I am truly happier :D Thank you again, Alisha read more

How we get where we are is a gift. If we look with an open eye, there are people and occasions here and there that help us unwrap this precious gift in the most beautiful way - Alisha was that person, that event in my life. Don't doubt it, as I am confident, that she can be that change you are looking for too. read more

Insightful, energetic, positive, thoughtful, empathetic, and brilliant! I loved working with Alisha and recommend her very highly.

Alisha is gifted and is serving her purpose in this world. It's an incredible honor to meet her and experience her reiki sessions. I'm hooked! She was referred to me by someone who took her reiki master training. I was looking to be certified and she seem perfect for me. In meeting her, instantly, she put me in a comfortable space, greeting me with a warm smile and a nice big hug. I don't warm up to people all the time but it was easy with her. Her reiki sessions are truly magical. I was in tears. Not from any pain but from a place of gratitude. Maybe it was emotions all pent up. Maybe it was the spiritual power I felt surrounding me. Or maybe it was just the feeling of love. I don't know how to describe it. All I know, is that it as a beautiful positive experience. This was not my first reiki session. I've had reiki by 3 other people and she is by far the best. Thank you Alisha for allowing us to experience your gift. Much love! read more

I love Alisha! She has helped me through my challenges,helped me embrace life, and has allowed me to self reflect and be the best version of myself. I cannot thank Alisha enough for her guidance. She is a beautiful soul read more

Over the course of 2-3 months with Alisha, I've made big strides in goals I laid out to accomplish over the course of 2023. I sought a life coach at the beginning of this year to help me get through some blocks I've had that have prevented me from feeling/being my best self. I'm thankful to say that I have gained new ways of thinking and growth through Alisha's help. read more

How I came to meet this inspiring, empowering, SUPERB example of positive/optimistic coaching is worth the read for those serious about change.... I am a local business owner and I built a team around me that is focused on changing lives for the better, empowering our people, and serving our fellow consumers. I am a staunch advocate of personal growth and development. After I attended a Tony Robbins event early in 2018 I came back to San Diego ready to continue the breakthroughs I enjoyed. I really wanted to maintain and increase the strides I had made and sincerely desired to enhance my relationship with my wife and make our good marriage GREAT. My team went to work and aligned 27 different relationship coaches and life coaches to review and I narrowed the list down to 10 phone interviews. After speaking to them all, Alisha was HANDS DOWN the ONLY one I wanted to meet with. To say our first meeting was incredible would be an understatement at best and a disservice to Alisha. She was very positive, challenged my limiting beliefs, inspired me to think on a different level, and shifted paradigms I carried for 30 years. After 3 months of working together my life is unequivocally better, filled with more passion, enlightened, more impactful to my team of over 100 people and MOST importantly I have a different perspective that's serves my life purpose every way possible on multiple levels. Not only has she helped me as a husband...she has helped me as a leader, a father, a friend, a mentor, a coach, and an empowering force for positive change. Here is what you can expect from this exceptional life coach: 1) Sincerity 2) New perspectives 3) Positive Energy 4) Straight Forward Questions producing empowering outcomes 5) Paradigm Shifts 6) Elimination of limiting beliefs 7) Unique Solutions 8) Creative Strategies to enhance a marriage 9) Tactics to become a better leader 10) Systematic approaches to dealing with the ego 11) Key Tips to DRASTICALLY enhance passion in your marriage 12) No Nonsense Approach 13) Accountability 14) Innovative ways to deal with negative energy 15) Proven methodologies for releasing negative emotions 16) Scientific means to improve leadership, communication, relationships, emotional intelligence, and optimism 17) Consistent constructive feedback 18) Honest assessment of where you are 19) Integrity to her word 20) True and Direct Communication 21) A respectful safe environment 22) A drastic change if you want it 23) FIERCE OPTIMISM In 3 months I have lived through an inspirational life transition which has ROCKETED my marriage forward to a level I never thought possible. My perspectives on many empowering topics have shifted. I have become a better leader for my team and I live with more POWER, PASSION, PURPOSE, LOVE, and POSITIVE ENERGY. Alisha Frank is a transformational coach who changes lives and creates a present and a future that may not even seem possible. If you are at a place where you desire change, improvement, a new look at the world, or a ROCKET FUEL Boost to a new beginning and destiny I STRONGLY recommend you take action and call her today. It will be one of the best decisions you ever make. If there is any doubt after reading this review call my personal number and I'll be happy to share my OVERWHELMINGLY Positive experience as feedback. 858.997.6993 Alisha is Authentic, Empowering, Inspirational, Positive and Optimistic. Truly one of the most gifted and phenomenal individuals I have ever known. read more

I would give this woman 10 stars if I could. She helped me through a really dark time in my life, I was going through a terrible traumatic divorce. A therapist was great to help me uncover past childhood traumas, but Alyisha did that and so much more. She gave me tools for self love and helped me regain control of my emotions and my life. She is kind and forward at the same time. I'm other words she is a full blown badass. So grateful to have crossed paths with her. read more

Thoroughly endorse Alisha and her life coaching skills. She has helped me in ways that I hoped were possible. She has an innate ability to bring out the positive and help you to see yourself in your true light. I look forward to our continued journey together. read more

I completed six sessions with Alisha and I'm so glad I did! Since our initial phone call I could tell her energy was amazing and I knew I wanted to meet her in person. All of our sessions taught me something about myself and she was there to cheer me on. She gave me "homework" because you know you have to put in work too. Since our last session I've felt so much peace, it's hard to explain how it happened all I can do is say to go for it if and schedule something with her. Also, I can't get enough so I'll be seeing her for a Reiki session! read more

Alisha is the guardian angel that we all need in our lives. I was going through a really hard time in my marriage and life. I knew I couldn't and didn't want to do it alone so I decided to work with her on some deep soul stuff. What I think would have taken me years to do on my own we accomplished it in 4-months. The healing was with love, compassion and some reflection. She was able to guide me in a very tricky situation and we came out better than ever! Thank you for helping my marriage and myself! read more

How do I begin to express the joy Alicia brings. She's a light, a force and a pure energy that I am glad to have found. The distance reiki experience was beautiful and powerful. This is somebody who I will know for a lifetime and my recommendation goes without saying. read more

To put it simply, Alisha is a badass! Alisha is an amazing listener who helps me dissect my life goals and obstacles and figure out the best path towards success and fulfillment. She is completely understanding but also doesn't allow me to BS myself. Since I started seeing Alisha I have been much happier and I've been able to give myself self-compassion, while also being grateful for all the good I have going on in my life. She helps extricate the negative and highlight the positive. Finally, the reiki is next level amazing. The first time I did it I submerged and saw my future self. Ever since, I've been actively working towards becoming that person. Alisha has been my guide every step of the way. read more

Alisha is truly the highest expression of love that I have ever encountered. Upon first meeting her I knew that she was highly intuitive, and every word I was about to verbalize was already known within her. This gave me the comfort to be as honest and open as I was with her, which was something I struggled my entire life with. Upon first meeting her, my anxiety and depression had reached its peak. Being open to change, I used the tools she gave me each week to understand the deeper meaning of my feelings. There was not a single second in any of my sessions that she was not present, and fully engaged into helping me find an understanding and solution to anything that arose. Both her life coaching sessions, and Reiki have been the #1vehicle for my spiritual evolution. The journey inwards was full of laughter, lots of crying, a s**t ton of palo santo, and an end result of infinite joy. Figuratively speaking, Alisha guided me to a door with abundance on the other side, only to turn the knob to find me staring back at myself through a mirror. I have never been able to say that I love every aspect of who I am in my life before I met with Alisha, but here I am baby! YASSS!!! Thank you Alisha, for helping to plant seeds in the darkest parts of me that I feared I would never be able see the light. Now, I AM LIGHT! I wake up every day now, excited to share the joys of the world with others. I cannot wait for the rest of my life, THANK YOU ALISHA!!! read more

Alisha has been tremendously supportive throughout the past 9 months of us working together, and consistently provides me with the tools and wisdom I sought to learn from our first session. She encourages me to look inward, put in the work, and ask myself the tough questions, all while giving me the confidence to navigate the inevitable transitions that this year has brought into my life. I historically had my own reservations and stigmas around asking for help, but now I believe everybody should get into, or at least be open to the idea of therapy! "Make it a beautiful day" read more

I am so grateful and thankful for all the lessons and honesty I experienced when working one on one with Alisha. She's the bright, positive energy the world needs more of. She always made me feel safe and supported no matter our topic of discussion. I carry a special place in my heart for her! I am excited to take the tools I've received to continue to be the best version of myself. As well as contribute positive love and energy to everyone else around me. This is an investment in yourself and worth every penny! read more

I am super happy to say Alisha is my life coach. I completed her six week program and am very pleased with the results, so pleased that I have decided to continue our sessions. Alisha has helped me to become my greatest cheerleader, find inner peace and decide that "this is it!" ... this is the time to live a life that speaks to my passions, to unleash my creative powers, to love and trust myself fully! If you are looking for someone to bring similar inspiration to your life I highly recommend The Fiercely Optimistic Alisha, it has been such a treat to experience her guidance, perspective and all the lovely energy she has to share. read more

Where to start... The moment I met Alisha I felt lighter. The girl has a gift and she shares it freely. I feel like every time I left a session I would be like, "how did she do that?" I have so much more clarity, I'm able to fully see the areas in my life that I need to work on to keep moving forward, and I feel like I've really, truly made wonderful progress in just the short time I had with Alisha. She's a ball of light and sunshine that gives it to you straight in the softest way. She truly wants everyone to evolve and be their best Self. Wonderful, safe space she works in, too. Much, much love! read more

I just adore Alisha. I've worked with her for about 6 weeks now, every week, and she has guided me through a very intense and painful spiritual revival where I am facing many, many issues that I haven't been capable of facing for years. She's so gracious and encouraging but also calls me out (loving) when I devalue myself. She's been instrumental in helping me work through insecurities, codependency, and several other destructive patterns I'm trying to combat. I only share this in hopes that it may encourage someone else facing similar issues to book a consultation with her. To anyone viewing this, you are not alone, you are valued, and you are worth the investment in yourself! Godspeed. read more

Alisha has absolutely changed my life! I started seeing Alisha after a friend gifted me a Reiki session, which I knew nothing about; however, just right after Reiki we both quickly realized my soul needed more ... I then started seeing Alisha for coaching which took my life for a complete whirl of positivity and much needed changes. During my time receiving coaching, I incorporated self-care rituals ( never heard of that before), me time ( OMG, I am actually allowed to do this?!?!), and let go of shit I definitely didn't need or deserve to hold on to anymore. Alisha has this amazing warmth about her yet is super real and says it how it is. Her space is the cutest! It's extremely comfortable and feels like you're spending time catching up with a friend, except you get HW :) My greatest takeaway has been to realize that life and I am ever changing so I need to give myself grace and remember that we are all constantly evolving... I love Alisha and recommend her 100%! read more

First of all, let me preface this by letting you know that I am brand new to this type of experience. I had a recent breakup and was searching for something/anything to help with the deep healing. I was willing to give this a shot. I came in to Alisha's office, and she was very accommodating, considering I arrived a day EARLY for my appointment. So much going on, I made a mistake, but Alisha made time for me. There is something magical about Alisha. She has a talent with what she does and I was able to feel the difference. At the end of my session, Alisha sat to tell me her findings. It was quite an emotional experience. The next day, I began to feel the knots in my stomach and the sadness of ending a relationship dissipate. Alisha checked up on me the following day to see how I was doing. She wasn't too surprised at how good the results were. I have already scheduled another appointment with her. I highly recommend Alisha; she is definitely in tune with the spiritual side of things and extremely comfortable to be around. Thanks Alisha!! read more

I meet Alisha via Yoga and attended one of her Yoga Nidra workshop. I was curious as to why I left feeling the way I did after the workshop so I reached out to Alisha. I started working with her to explore these feelings. Alisha has an incredible way to challenge your view by having you reflect and reframe it. I have enjoyed-working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone! She is a bright light and fiercely Optimistic! read more

Finally, a situation where the reviews seemed to match up to reality. Thank you Alisha. She is connected, intuitive and even if she can't always help you, she can recommend other resources. read more

Alisha is a ray of divine light. Her presence is healing, inspirational, and honest. Her listening and intuitive powers are beyond what you exchange monetarily with her. What I receive from her is more than worth it. She brings out a part of myself that teaches and guides me beyond our physical time together. Working with her is a gift that keeps on giving. I feel supported and truly heard by her, and maybe even more importantly, I feel stronger because of choosing to do this work with her. Alisha, thank you for all you give and are and what you bring out in me. I feel as if veils have lifted and that I am stronger and more ME because of choosing to with with you. From the first free consultation on the phone I felt that we dove deep and the power of what you have to offer began to work in my life. You instantly made me feel hopeful and excited at a dark time in my life. I felt your genuine care, clarity, and solution oriented awesomeness from the get go. I love how you challenge me in the best ways to level up and live more effectively, and to be more grounded and more myself while at the same time allowing me to soar to new heights. Choosing to commit to my work with you has been one of the best decisions I've made. read more

I can't even express how grateful I am I met Alicia. I was not in a good place last year and started sliding in depression mode. It's when you wake up in the morning but don't really want to get out of bed or do anything at all. I knew I needed help so I started looking for a therapist/life coach. I simply went on yelp. Alicia came up one of the firsts on the list. First I slided in my judgment mode "Life coach in La Jolla... Yeah right!" but she had really good reviews, i read some of them and they all sound very genuine. The words people used the most were "intuitive and loving". I let it sit in my head for couple of days then went back and looked up her website where she had a link to her Insta. And let me tell you - if you just go on her instagram, that might help you out without getting any therapy. Her rap videos were what sold it to me))) On a serious note her posts and stories are so light and care free but almost always have such a sweet deep message. I was infatuated. So i called her up. I loved that she also needed to talk to me and find out why I wanted to work with me before just selling me her sessions. We matched:-) I got 8 sessions with her. I went with the package as i though it would be the most beneficial. From session one I knew i got on an amazing journey. I came with a lot of issues - frustration, anger, darkness, not accepting a lot of things in my life. All my problems were facing the world around me. Every session with Alicia was a beautiful conversation. She would let me talk, vent, cry, let it all out and then again lovingly would just ask a question or two that i needed to answer for myself. Answering those questions was not always easy but every answer came with a lot of truth, shed light on why i felt that way or the other, and brought me closer to understanding myself. I came to Alicia when everything was wrong with the world around me and left finally finding that peace within and with lots of questions answered. Therapy is a hard work and it doesn't just happen on it's on, not only in the office during the session. But Alicia's guidance through the whole process is so amazing. She woks with you during the session, she gives you homework, she is available for you if you need extra help. She is indeed very intuitive in her approach and very very loving. I've never met anyone who has so much love for a human beings like she does. Even when you are at your worst, and you are full of hate and balling crying she treats you with so much love and acceptance. I highly highly recommend anyone just meeting her - whether its going to be therapy sessions, reiki healing or just sunset meditation she hosts once in a while on the beach. Once you meet this beautiful soul your life will never be the same! P.S. And visiting life coach in La Jolla is totally awesome because you also get to have a date with the ocean whenever you visit Alicia and that a well known health benefit itself. read more

The name Fiercely Optimistic couldn't be more accurate for this La Jolla/NYC based business. Behind every successful business there is a driving force. In this case, the owner Alisha. In my experience, it's rare to find an individual that is a highly centered positivity guru as well as a razor sharp, goal oriented business tactician. Alisha is all that and much more. Alisha is the most genuinely positive person I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She is also very intuitive. She combines her skills to help provide a road map to success for most any personal or business challenge or opportunity. With Alisha as my executive and personal coach I have been able to at least double (if not triple) my productivity in the recent months. This has allowed myself and my team to move forward with a new start-up business as well improve the performance of my technology company. Each week she helps me organize my business and personal goals and guides me though a self accountability process that we agreed upon in our initial meetings. If you desire to improve your business or personal performance I highly recommend Alisha to assist you in the process. read more

Alisha is such a special person. She listens, offers great advice even if it's not what you want to hear, has helped me accept things I cannot control, is beyond supportive, affirming, just a light! I look forward to every session with Alisha and am so happy I started life coaching with her. Alisha has helped me learn to process stress-inducing/emotional situations in a healthy way, my mindset feels so healed from where I started. I'm enjoying this process, even the difficult bits, because of Alisha. I cannot recommend her enough!!! I have no idea where I would be today without her. read more

I don't know what I would do without Alisha, Ali, and Crystal. They saved my life. I go to them for Reiki every few months and they relieve me of a lot of toxic energy. Every time I leave I feel reborn, like a new person. They are also some of the most incredible people I have ever met- they are so welcoming, down-to-earth, warm, and kind, some of the nicest women I have ever met in my life, and they put you at ease. They are the best at what they do. read more

I recently got to experience a night with Alisha I will not soon forget. She invited me to come to her healing circle. I've never been to a healing circle and went with an open heart and zero expectations. What I witnessed was nothing short of powerful. I've never seen someone act so selflessly as a conduit of positive, constructive energy being passed and utilized for another's soul. She said things to me and others in the room that were so personal, so heart penetrating that it was hard to believe she hadn't known us all on a personal level for years and years and years. Alisha is guided by a higher calling to truly lead and direct lives to their utmost potential. read more

I am so grateful to Alisha for the guidance she has provided me. I did 6 sessions with her. I recommend at least doing the package of six. I came to her seeking clarity on a major life decision I was working on and clarity regarding events that have happened in the past so I could move forward. During this work, other things got brought to the surface which was really helpful for me holistically. She will give you homework and exercises to do because for this to work, you have to DO the work! It is work. Becoming conscious (or at least chipping away at the tip of the iceberg) takes work and it is a practice. She is very intuitive and kind but will keep you on course. Make sure you do your work before coming back to the next session. It is expensive although her prices are very competitive. It is so worth the investment in yourself! read more

I am very grateful to Alisha! She has helped me so much in the short amount of time I have know her with relationships, family drama, how to manage certain day to day situations, etc. She is very easy to talk to and I can tell she actually cares about my well-being. Thank you Alisha! read more

Alisha is an amazing life coach. She helps you to realize your full potential in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I really enjoyed working with her and have noticed many positive changes in my daily life. I have also had the pleasure of not only having reiki sessions with her, but have taken her level 1 reiki certification class. Both were fantastic. This was my 1st experience with reiki and I haven't looked back. It was an amazing experience. She is also a fantastic yoga instructor and can lead healing circles. Which are very eye opening and personal. Alisha has the ability to make you feel like you can open up and lets you know what you can do to help yourself. Alisha is a truly powerful woman and has the ability to help you visualize your true potential. If you are ready for a change, Alisha is your woman! read more
