I first discovered The Meditation for Health Podcast in 2014. Immediately struck by the quality of…read morethe recordings, I was attracted to the energy of openness, and impressed by the relative lack of commercialization, compared to other meditation resources. It truly is geared towards health & wellbeing, steering clear of some of the 'tropes' and consumerism that I have found in other podcasts for meditation. The immense qualifications of Dr. Robert Puff also are a huge benefit -- in an era where many in the digital space profess to know so much, it is reassuring to know that you are in the 'hands of an expert' when listening to this podcast. I have always appreciated the pace and gentle focus of each session, Dr. Robert Puff has an aura of nonjudgment and safety in his language and message. I would highly recommend this podcast; it's simple and nonintimidating, especially for those new to meditation.

Dr. Puff is both kind and wise beyond measure. Simple, insightful, helpful. I also love his…read more"Happiness Podcast" as well as his books - particularly "Reflections on Meditation." Thank you, Dr. Puff!

So, I originally wrote this review almost four months ago. Julie LaCroix saw the review and…read moreresponded to it. However, did she do anything to make sure she answered the main element of the complaint (that she won't stop spamming me in spite of numerous requests over the years - including those apparently only decorative "unsubscribe" links in her emails?). No. Screen shot for proof. Draw what conclusions you will. Original Review and Comment on Response: I had two appointments with Julie LaCroix several years ago. I ultimately thought the sessions were a waste of time and (quite a lot of) money. She decided my skill set made me a particularly good fit for a specific type of job, and she disregarded my repeated protests that the job in question went against my moral values. She made up her mind and was incapable of hearing anything that didn't align with her first (somewhat arbitrary seeming) idea. She ended our last session by throwing together a ridiculous, typo-ridden resume in a couple minutes targeted at a position I had made clear I would not apply for. (Since that time I finished my graduate degree and am working in a suitable career.) After our second meeting, I was ready to move on and not give career therapists another thought. I have not had that luxury, however, since Julie LaCroix has spammed me and stalked me on social media ever since. Every couple years, I get re-added to her email list which I have never given her permission to put me on, and she has not responded to messages asking her to desist. She also periodically tries to connect with me on social media (she is undeterred by my refusal to connect with her, and, again, does not respond to messages asking her to desist in contacting me). I understand that she thinks networking will help grow her business. I don't understand why she thinks harassing people and ignoring them when they object would be beneficial to anyone. Given her systematic abuse of my personal information, however, I am no longer surprised that she could not process my objection to an unethical career. **Regarding Response** Notice the non-denial regarding the abusive email practices I describe. Also note the absence of a statement that she would address this matter and make sure I am not re-added to her list again in the future. The rest is a matter of he-said-she-said, but why, after 11 years, would I have reason to think of her--much less make random false claims in a review? I would encourage her to check her email (julie@julielacroix.com) to see that I have, in fact, contacted her multiple time over the past 11 years to ask that she stop re-adding me to her spam list. She has also found me years after using her (dis)services and tried to get me to engage with her professional profiles on Facebook and Instagram over the years. The dishonesty/lack of integrity in her response here is appalling.

I have seen Carlos multiple times now. First, he helped me become free from a habit that started in…read morehigh school. I was 46 when he guided me through the transformation to letting go of this vice. Recently, I went back to him to give up what I thought was a harmless brownie and cookie passion; it was really just my way to rebel. Meaning Carlos doesn't just say sleepy sleepy and puts you under, then you are magically fixed. He talks through why you have either trauma or patterns, and then helps you go deep into yourself and change that pattern at the core. I couldn't be more grateful to have been sent to him. Besides LASIK eye surgery, this is the best money I have spent on myself.

when i first met carlos i wasn't in a very good place emotionally. he really helped, and is still…read morehelping, me with connecting to myself and my emotions. he's also helped me with getting off of some psychiatric medication that i no longer needed. im very thankful for him and his ability to show me other perspectives on situations and emotions, as well as encouraging communication with the people close to me and curiosity about my self and why i feel the way i do about situations and most importantly how to handle it. id go on more about how appreciative i am and how kind a person carlos is, but i dont want this to be any more of a text wall than this already is. if you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and wants to help you grow and understand yourself better, i really cant recommend him enough.

I highly recommend Courtney Collier, her no-nonsense approach is exactly what we needed. I saw…read moreCourtney for couples counseling during a time where my boyfriend & I both felt like we could really use a third-party intervention. My boyfriend and I are two strong people, and we needed a therapist to be sharp enough to call us out on our stuff. Not only did she prove a strong therapist, in the end I really got a sense that she cared about us. Perhaps it's a small thing, but it made the whole therapy experience real for me. It's amazing how our fights always seemed to be over they same small stuff, & Courtney helped us see that what we where fighting about wasn't necessarily about the content, but about much deeper needs both of us had. Knowing this, we now can have meaningful and productive conversations that often have a good outcome. I walked out of therapy seeing our relationship issues as just normal stuff people go through. What makes our couples counselor unique is that her style of counseling uses tools that she instructed us to use in session. We continue to be mindful and use these tools outside of our session. This hands-on approach gave us essential life skills that I just didn't get growing up...common sense skills to communicate with honesty and vulnerability and ways to avoid reactive fighting that so plagued us in the past. Again, I highly recommend Courtney Collier- she is the best in SF!

I cannot say enough good things about Arolyn. I've known her for over a decade and have worked with…read moreher on and off during that time, and she is deeply trustworthy, grounded, and truly exceptional at what she does. She is easily one of the most skilled clinicians I've worked with, and arguably one of the best in the area. I drive nearly 3 hours to see her, and it is absolutely worth it. In just a few sessions, I've experienced more meaningful progress than years of traditional therapy combined. Her approach is precise, intuitive, and highly effective in a way that feels both clinical and deeply human. She also has techniques that have provided immediate relief for symptoms like tinnitus, which I had been struggling with for a long time. If you are considering working with her, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has genuinely been life-changing for me.

After researching several hypnotherapists I called Arolyn and set up an appointment. She had a…read moreclear treatment plan with some room for more treatments if needed. Arolyn is also an LMFT which really adds to her effectiveness in knowing how to use a tool like hypnotherapy alongside traditional therapy. I used her for therapy sessions in addition to hypno. Her hypnotherapy technique is unique but in order for it to be effective, it requires you to really do the work (as with any therapy). But it is worth the effort! I found Arolyn to be attentive, kind and generous. She helped me work through various blocks to get around negative thought patterns. I now have a recording that is like my own personal power ballad. Arolyn tucked in all of these thoughtful little tidbits from our various sessions into this special recording designed to help lift you up and focus your energy and thoughts. That recording wouldn't have been as robust without her help and without us both spending quite a bit of time on it. I now listen to that recording most every day. With Arolyn's help, I learned to go into a deep meditative state that helped to change the waves of my brain and even more difficult, learned to change the language that I use. And most of this work was really done between appointments with the tools Arolyn showed me. It isn't a super power but it does take effort on your part. I plan to keep her number handy and use her again when needed. Thank you Arolyn for your support and guidance!

I recently had an astrology consultation with Sarah, and I have to say she is incredible at what…read moreshe does. This was really my first true reading (I had one years ago, but nothing like this), and Sarah was so kind and thorough in walking me through everything step by step. She explained how to read my chart from a bird's-eye view in a way that was clear, relatable, and surprisingly insightful. It was amazing to learn which months are ideal for taking on new tasks, what my future might hold, and why I've been feeling stuck lately. Sarah offered thoughtful suggestions and practical ideas to help me move past those blocks. If you're considering a chart reading, I highly recommend working with Sarah, she's top-notch!

Through our work I was able to identify what my values are, be less judgmental of myself and open my heart up to the possibility of real love. It is still unbelievable to me that I found someone I truly connect with and look forward to spending the rest of my life with! The shifts I experienced in myself also translated to warmer, more open relationships with friends and family. Working with Sarah, I was able to broaden my career goals and manifest exciting changes. Overall, I feel much better equipped to be a human who fosters beautiful relationships and live my intentions.

I worked with Dan for around 8 months…read more The work was deeply transformative. I was able to heal and understand my unconscious triggers, limiting beliefs, and patterns--why I was choosing less, feeling unhappy and unsuccessful, and experiencing conflict and tears instead of living the life I was dreaming about. I realized I was going back to what felt familiar, even when it wasn't aligned with what I truly wanted. Dan's mentoring, coaching, and healing approach were incredibly powerful. He is also very spiritual, and his guidance gave me a strong sense of trust and hope throughout the process. As a result, I was able to increase my financial ceiling, manifest significant income (six figures), and end some toxic relationships. I also raised my standards -- what I say yes to and what I say no to -- and began building a life where I feel more respected, happier, and calmer.

Would highly highly recommend Dr Andy - his approach is unlike anything I've ever experienced before! If you want to see what you are capable of when operating at full capacity - then Dr Andy's program is exactly what you need!!

He helped me achieve my mental health goals with what felt like small, achievable steps. Through weekly meetings, I reached a point of stability that I had never before experienced. I had grown emotionally strong in every aspect of my life, and had broken free from my previous weaknesses. He helped me experience happiness in areas of my life that I didn't even know there was happiness, and this set him above the other therapists I'd seen. Dr. Andy is an astute listener and truly cares for people. I could not recommend anyone more highly. I am incredibly grateful to have found Dr. Andy, because he truly changed the course of my life.
