Jonathan helped me realize that what I'm doing now isn't what I want to continue doing or growing in over the next five years. He helped calm my anxiety and reconnect me with my confidence to make a change and actually go after it, which felt invaluable. What I appreciated most is that his support goes far beyond resume and cover letter help, though he's very strong in that area too. He continues to provide value outside of scheduled video sessions, which really sets him apart. I'll plan to update this review once I'm further along in the process. He's very good to work with!

After getting laid off from my…read morecorporate job of a high position, losing my girlfriend, dog and a list of other atrocities I was lost and broken in my life. I was willing to do whatever it took to get back on my feet after numerous attempts at therapy whether it was through my insurance provider or private practice. I was a bit skeptical at first about hypnotherapy and life coaching because of the heavy price tag attached but here's what happened. We had a counseling session to see what was going on in my life and how we could go about regaining my clarity and confidence. She helped me realize that there was a lot of past trauma that I had to forgive myself coupled with the bitter truth that my self-destructive tendencies may not have been my fault but is ultimately my responsibility to address. I'm not too sure if the hypnotherapy programmed my subconscious that allowed me to take more action in my life than floating around. The month after our sessions I made more progress in regaining my health by choosing healthier foods and cutting out smoking. I also found a new hobby of swing trading and opening myself up to diversifying and growing my wealth from my savings, severance check and Unemployment Benefits. I ended up doing extremely well as I was confident in my buying and selling stocks by reading trends in the market and a little bit of intuition in the tech industry. Even if I was an emotional wreck I didn't let it affect my decision making when it came to trading. After a year later I have made much more progress in my personal development and career. I ended up founding my own marketing business, travel extensively as well as go on to work for other major companies within my career field.

"If you are going to clean the house, you have to see the dirt."…read more - Louise Hay In November 2017, I was seeking an EFT Practitioner and came across Jackie's listing on Yelp. Our free phone consultation sold me based on her friendliness, compassion, and knowledge of this therapeutic technique that I've casually dabbled in since 2016. I instantly purchased several sessions. Back when I first started working with her, she was helping me with stress and anxiety. Because I had such impactful, life-changing, and lasting results, I reached out to her again this year to help me with other challenges because I knew that Jackie would be the right person to help facilitate these shifts. I've only met Jackie virtually via Skype and Zoom. This makes it super convenient for appointments since I don't need to commute to an office and can get the most out of the EFT exercises from the comfort of my home. I like that Jackie affirms my thoughts/feelings, and often tells me she resonates with what is on my mind. It helps me release any judgments toward myself. Jackie's also my biggest cheerleader, celebrating any big shifts which occur every session. I feel very safe to feel, emote, cry, smile, and laugh during my video calls. I often feel like I overcome obstacles and achieve some state of emotional peace after our sessions. She also records parts of our sessions and sends me the audio so I can revisit and practice the exercises on my own. My most recent experience with Jackie is something I super highly recommend! I purchased a 4-session bundle which includes 8-weeks worth of recorded EFT exercises to do at home. These recordings are just as good as her video call sessions and really helpful for maintaining self-care in between video calls. I started this 4-session bundle right when the stay-at-home order started. So for me, quarantine involved a lot of much-needed self-care! :) Why do I do this instead of traditional therapy? Because even though insurance would help pay for traditional therapy, I'd prefer to invest my out-of-pocket $$$ in something that is much more effective for long-term results. There is a lot of value here. And yes, I've tried other unconventional forms of therapy. EFT works for me and maybe it will work for others too. To each their own. That said, if anyone is looking for an EFT practitioner, I'll be the first person to say, contact Jackie! She's awesome! But be warned, you gotta be willing to go deep. Like, childhood stuff. Amazing things will happen if you do.

First, let me say I really didn't know what this technique entailed when I first contacted Jackie-I…read moremight have been a little skeptical if I did. She scheduled a free 30 minute appointment to discuss both what I was looking for and what she would/could do. It sounded valuable-and I was feeling pretty hopeless-so I signed up for five sessions, which were done via Skype. I won't go into a lot of detail about tapping and how it works (ask Jackie directly!) but I can honestly say this was the best, most life changing experience I could imagine. Jackie is really supportive and gets to the real issues. To say she changed my life and saved my marriage (actually after 3 sessions) is not hyperbole. I can't thank her enough and I think that her techniques can change all aspects of your life.

By far, her resume rewrite and overhaul helped springboard my job search. To anyone who has not looked for work since before the pandemic, job hunting has changed! As a former recruiter, Sara is on top of all trends and provides sound advice and suggestions, backed by current metrics. She is an expert in personal branding and helping you stand out from the crowd. This is achieved through her LinkedIn optimization and Total Interview Program (TIP). Sara showed me how to customize each resume for job applications, quickly and efficiently. The group TIP coaching calls were also beneficial, to network with other job seekers and provide support for one another. Having an expert I could reach out to with questions (and there were many) was key -- this gave me confidence and focus with many of the action steps I did (or didn't) take. Sara makes herself very available, by phone, email and text! Most importantly, Sara helped me regain trust and confidence in myself after an abrupt layoff, the first of my career. I will not hesitate to recommend Sara Camilo to others!

Dear Christine, I…read moredon't fully know what happened during that hypnotherapy session -- but at the same time, I do. When you told me my throat chakra was doing something strange, and said you felt my mother had taken my voice, something inside me shifted deeply. I truly believe I got my voice back that day. Since our session, I've noticed such a change in myself. I'm speaking up. I'm setting boundaries. No drama, no fear -- just honesty. For the first time in my life, I feel a sense of freedom from the bondage of staying silent and never really expressing myself. It's hard to put into words how profound that feels. I wanted to thank you from my heart for what you gave me. It feels life-changing. My funds are a little tight right now as I'm in the process of fully opening my store, but I absolutely want to continue working with you. I should have more availability financially soon. I just didn't want time to pass without telling you how grateful I am and how much this experience has meant to me. I love you so much, and I'll see you soon. With love and gratitude, Sonja

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.
