I worked with Gage over the past 5 months as I sought to gain perspective on changes in my business…read moreas well as navigate an international move. Gage was equal parts challenging and caring and I felt completely safe to be completely forthright with her. She created a welcoming space and quickly helped me to reach the nub of an issue, then create clear actionable steps to move forward. Gage had useful tools to prepare for sessions as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Gage and would happily work with her again if a need arises.

I started working with Gage in 2015. At that time, I was really lost in my career and had little…read moresense of direction. My relationship was good but I didn't know what the next step was or if I was ok with the idea of marriage. And I didn't like where I was living. We began by making a list of things I envisioned for myself. I remember being extremely resistant suggesting I needed millions of dollars to have a home on the beach, a big wedding and a month long honeymoon through Europe. Well she helped me find my way to obtain and experience all of those things and more. In just two years, I bought a home across the street from the Pacific Ocean, married my best friend (and am very happily married), went to Europe and Southeast Asia (both for a month each) and am currently building an exciting career for myself in an industry that is super interesting to me...and all of this while honoring my own ideals and integrity. Our bi monthly phone calls are super convenient for me since I'm fairly busy and can't stand having to drive to appointments, find parking and the whole process. But picking up the phone for an hour twice per month is a breeze. I've truly grown so much in these past two years. Not just materialistically, but spiritually as well. She is a very special person and I am so grateful for the work we did together. It goes without saying that I recommend you give Gage a shot...but what I truly believe is you should give yourself the shot. Good luck on your journey to find what you're looking for.

Working with Yuli was incredibly beneficial from start to finish. She helped explain the basics of…read moresomatic work, how it is something that all of us can truly benefit from and crafting a tailored program to address my concerns. Through our sessions she supported me in reaching understandings around the somatic aspects of my troubles and crafting a program of practices to integrate and support this knowledge and power in a lifelong way. My example was struggling with establishing boundaries, and both the social and personal toll that my old patterns were taking on me. Yuli helped me become more aligned with my personal dignity through somatic practice, and recognize the mental, spiritual and physical value that I have always known I have but have not been able to recognize or utilize. This alignment has brought about a profound improvement in my ability to set healthy boundaries, take up space and take care of myself and others. Thank you Yuli, I couldn't have done it without you.

I picked up a certificate from Mind Body Partnerships which gave me a massage, hair cut, yoga, and…read morethen I picked Dr Barbara Cox for her Emotional Acupressure Session. It sounded intriguing. So I went. Why not? So, you know those nagging thoughts of self-doubt, fear, self-deprecation? Well, I wanted to get rid of some of them and see if Dr. Cox's methods worked for me. On her website she touts...Mind Body Tools for a Successful and Happy Life. In our session, we spent an hour talking about what I call past programming. Incidents in childhood that have an impact on how we approach life. In that hour the visceral, anxiety ridden feelings I had around fear of failure went from a 9 down to a 3 and then eventually complete calm. I'll definitely being going back to see Dr. Cox. Those nagging thoughts you know...they never quite all go away. But these sessions are surely going to keep them quiet for a while.

I've gone to Dr. Cox about 5 times now. She's helped me re-formulate and supersize my goals. We…read morealso work on getting rid of my old patterns/beliefs that have blocked me in the past and "install" new, more effective beliefs... Her consistent support has really helped me get traction and start in on my long-term biz and professional goals (mainly what I'm working on), and also helped me shift my dating habits, which has been fun! She uses a lot of different tools in our sessions - hypnotherapy, guided imageray, energy adjusting techniques, coaching. She has an amazing ability to get right to the root of my issues. I like how she's grounded and very practical, matter-of-fact about things, but also really caring and reassuring. I always feel super relieved and lighter/clearer after our sessions, like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders and replaced with confidence and clarity of purpose/action - so, I obviously recommend her! :)

Our first interaction with Polly was through business coaching (my husband and I own a photo and…read morefilm wedding business). She was amazing and kicked out butt into gear. She helped us come up with goals that were specific and measurable and held us accountable to taking the steps to reach those goals. I knew she would be great, but I was actually surprised at how helpful she was. After our first meeting, my husband and I looked at each other with "wow faces" and knew we were in the right place. My second interaction was when I scheduled a hypnotherapy session with Polly. I was hitting some creative roadblocks and experiencing self doubt. I had another wow moment when first helped me get to the root of the issue and then work through the roadblock through hypnotherapy. Within one meeting I had the tools to come back to my creative center in real time (like when I'm face-to-face with my clients and they're looking to me for direction). We highly recommend Polly for any coaching needs. She's truly an insightful and wise guide.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect before I came to Polly. I had never done hypnotherapy before and…read moreto be honest, I was kind of thinking it would be a waste of time and would be sort of fluffy and boring ... was I going to have to sit in a room with incense and crystals and look into my chakras? If so, this was not going to work for me. But, I consider myself to be open-minded, so I gave it a shot. Boy was I wrong! Polly explained all the science behind hypnotherapy and how it works, which really made the process more approachable and practical for me. Polly really listened, and helped me to drill down to exactly what paradigms and thought processes I wanted to change within myself. Literally after one session I already felt a huge shift! If you are considering trying it, don't hesitate. I have done a lot of traditional therapy and this is an excellent compliment to that. I was able to re-train my brain much more quickly and enjoyably than I ever have in traditional therapy. It has been helpful for deeper issues like life choices and relationships, and smaller things like changing my workout habits. Polly is a genius!

If you're looking for event facilitation in San Luis Obispo, Jessica at The Decision Bar is the…read morereal deal. I've attended three events she's hosted, and every single one has been thoughtfully designed, beautifully organized, and genuinely fulfilling. She puts intention into every detail, from the structure of the experience to the way she makes every person in the room feel included. What sets her apart from other event facilitators in SLO: her prompts and activities are genuinely creative. Nothing feels recycled or cookie-cutter. She has a gift for leading people into real conversation and meaningful moments without it ever feeling forced or performative. Two of the events were women's business-focused gatherings, and I'll say this: they were professional without being stuffy, and connective without being surface-level. The third was an invitation to simply come home to yourself, not to fix or improve, just to be present as you are. It was exactly what I didn't know I needed. Jessica is warm, fun, inclusive, and sharp. Whether you're planning a corporate event, women's networking experience, workshop, or personal growth gathering in San Luis Obispo, she brings a level of craft and care that's rare. Highly recommend.

Jessica has an incredible ability to create a safe, welcoming space where everyone feels seen, valued, and inspired. She doesn't waste time on surface-level conversation, within minutes, you're in deep, meaningful dialogue about topics that truly matter: leadership, systemic change, the motherhood mental load, entrepreneurship, personal growth, and building real-life community in an overly digital world. What sets Jessica apart from other life coaches and leadership facilitators in San Luis Obispo County is her combination of warmth, humor, and serious expertise. She draws on her Master's in Education, Leadership & Change, her nonprofit leadership background, and her bilingual skills to connect with people from all walks of life. She guides discussions with purpose and keeps the energy high, blending insight with fun in a way that makes learning and self-reflection exciting. Her workshops are not just meetings; they're transformational experiences. I've walked away each time with new perspectives, practical strategies, and a renewed sense of motivation for my personal and professional goals. If you're a young adult, parent, non-profit organization, business owner, or community leader looking for clarity, connection, and real-world tools for growth, I can't recommend Jessica and The Decision Bar enough. Whether it's one-on-one coaching, a team retreat, or a community workshop, Jessica brings a rare mix of empathy, vision, and leadership that will leave you feeling empowered and ready to take action. San Luis Obispo is lucky to have her!

Most importantly, he helped me find my inner strength to live my most authentic life, with no reservations. He took the time to really get to know me and help understand my pain. He created a safe and trusting space that allowed me to venture into feelings I had shied away from for years.
