I've…read morestruggled with low self-esteem, body image, and relationship and food issues for many years, and I've tried all kinds of therapists, a past life coach, and multiple 12-step programs. Nothing has had the impact of one three-hour session with Amanda. She's above and beyond the best life coach/therapist I've ever worked with. There's a quality that's hard to describe -- a rare emotional intuition and spirituality guiding her practice. She knew exactly which questions to ask to get to the core issue underneath my suffering, and she accurately reflected back what I was going through in a way that helped me reframe my thinking entirely. She empowered me to design my own solution to a problem I've been searching for a breakthrough on for years. This kind of guidance is one in a million, and something I've rarely found in the coaching or therapy world. I'm so grateful for the time and care I received from Amanda through Empower House Coaching. 10/10 recommend! Thank you so much for the breakthrough!!

Before coaching, I felt stuck--questioning whether to stay in my job, explore a new career, or find…read morea different role within my company. Leadership was unclear, constant change left me uncertain, and my confidence in myself and my decisions was at an all-time low. I struggled with self-worth, second-guessing my abilities, and feeling like I had no real direction. Then, I went through the 8-week Clarity Catalyst course, and everything shifted. Almost immediately, I started seeing wins. I experienced a complete mindset shift, gaining not only clarity about my career but also a renewed sense of confidence and trust in myself. For the first time in a long time, I felt empowered to take control of my path. By the end of the program, I had the clarity I was searching for about my career and started taking tangible steps toward my next chapter. My confidence grew, and I finally saw my own value in a way I hadn't before. The program helped me achieve exactly what I was hoping for--clarity, confidence, and the courage to move forward. This experience was truly life-changing. I no longer feel stuck--I feel empowered. Thank you, Amanda!

I feel like this review is long overdue. I met with Erika pre pandemic a few times and she was a…read moregreat guiding light for me. The session that truly changed my life was this year, when she helped me confront the inner hurting child in me. She spent so much time to actively listen to my issues, to hear the pain I was going through. She helped me unlock a younger version of myself, face her and taught me how to better care for her. I've taken those skills everyday in life with me since that session. It has positively affected my relationships, the trust in myself and has helped heal me. I've told so many friends about this experience and they were all in awe. Thank you Erika , I hope we have a chance to meet again soon. Wishing you life will always treat you kindly.

I worked with Erika during a time in my life where I needed some guidance and felt lost on many…read moresubjects in life. I was someone who was not very spiritual, let alone seeker help through holistic means. However, over the past year I came to understand my spiritual side and knew I wanted to find a healer. I found Erika through Yelp and after researching reviews, her website, and having a free consultation I decided to book my first session. Since then I have purchased a few more sessions and also referred my sister. My sessions started with a guided meditation which felt incredible. There are thousands of guided meditations online (e.g. Youtube), but having one at the start is a session with Erika felt different and more uplifting. The sessions would consist of topics that I needed help with. The topics vary depending on the day and what I felt boiling since the last session. They consist of but not limited to life in general, personal relationships, work, past trauma, and personal development. Without getting into the details, at the end of each session, I felt like I had discovered something deep inside me that has been blocked. Erika helped extract whatever it is that has been giving me issues and provided me with guidance moving forward. She also me cut some knots that had been holding me back. Erika is very gifted at what she does. She provides a very comfortable and safe environment that allows you to share personal information that you may not share else where. All of my sessions were conducted online through zoom due to covid. I don't believe there would be a different if it was online or in person as I am still getting the same healing.

It's science-driven and as a participant, I experienced tangible and substantial step-changes along the way... well, during the start of the journey. As an individual, the process has helped me unlock aspects of myself which I didn't think I was capable; above all, deep levels of compassion and acceptance of others/circumstances. Overall, Lena has pointed me onto a path to being a better enlightened version of myself. Moreover, Lena always brings her A-game into our sessions all the time! This makes sessions with her a highlight of the week! Give this process a chance, and I believe you will never be the same again!

In fact, it was 3 years of therapy that, looking back, really on helped me in the first month to deal with the initial reason for seeking help. I which I would have known about Self Help back then and probably would've saved years of therapy that was going no where. From my very first session with Nancy, I felt there was real progress. I got insight to my learned behavior from past experiences and how that affected my reaction/connection to the world around me. Both my internal and external reactions continued to shape the present experiences that caused continued fear and guilt that was paralyzing. I wasn't myself. But with Nancy's guidance, I learned more about my internal processes and that understanding empowered me. Through each session and "homework assignments" I gained new confidence and regained control to bring about a positive behavior change that allows me to enjoy myself again. I also brought my adult son and my husband to these sessions and it has helped them as well. Also, although these sessions were not covered by my PPO insurance I was able to get reimbursed through my Healthcare spending account which is a huge plus. They are very punctual, professional, and responsive. Though sometimes they don't answer the phone right away, they usually respond within the hour when I leave a message. They are very clear about their no show policy at the first visit. They are respectful of your time and they expect respect for theirs as well. I've been to over a dozen sessions and never waited more than 5minutes for my appt. I've had to reschedule twice and never got charged a no show fee because I notified them at least 24hrs in advance. It is a professional practice for excellent self help therapy.
