She provides a calm, safe place for you to relax into a session. I just had a great session with her the other day and, not only did I have a super restorative nap during it but also several telling dreams for several nights afterwards. In one of them, I felt this sense of bliss and wholeness come over me. I stayed in that space as long as I could. It was incredible, like being one with Source. I felt such Unconditional love. Aside from other stressors, I've been having a ton of work stress but I have felt much more calm after our visit. And now I just have a sense of Faith or knowingness. Hypnosis is such a great healing modality and Catherine has an excellent talent and skill set to help you overcome problems, have breakthroughs, stop addiction, or just feel a sense of calm and peace. Definitely worth the value provided! Thank you Catherine

Both times, I've left feeling renewed. The empathetic nature was felt instantly, and it truly felt like a collaborative experience built on mutual trust, understanding, and kindness. Each session allowed me to have an immediate shift in perspective and feeling afterwards (that has lasted). Her focus on setting the foundation through guided conversation really makes it feel like you're being listened to, and the sessions end up being that much more effective because of it. Overall, I could not recommend her enough and feel confident moving forward in multiple areas of my life. I look forward to when life tells me to meet with her again.

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.

I look forward to every visit with him and seeing progress in myself. I highly recommend Matt. He's gentle and kind and very helpful.

Matt assured me he's helped people in similar situations such as mine and I was optimistic but also wondered if it was too good to be true. After our first session I left feeling lighter and had a permanent smile my whole way home. I am looking forward to our next session and I think I found the missing piece to my healing puzzle for a truly healthy wealthy happy life!! I definitely recommend :))

I am a frequent repeat customer of hers because I know that she is truly gifted and can see the truth! At the start of each session, she'll ask if there's anything specific I want to focus on or if I'd prefer her to simply share what comes up for her. I always let her go ahead without telling her anything that's on my mind beforehand, and she consistently picks up on things happening in my life with astounding accuracy, down to details that only I would know. She picks up on things almost instantaneously and has an incredible ability to tap into energy and give accurate, insightful readings. What has always stood out to me is that she's not only able to read my energy, but also the energies and intentions of people connected to me, regardless of whether they're physically close or far away. She's often picked up on dynamics and situations involving others in my life that I was not aware of with surprising accuracy, and has given me great guidance on how to protect myself from anyone with ill intent. One of the things I appreciate most about Michelle is how straightforward she is. She's honest and direct and tells you things exactly as she feels them to be, which I really value. It's like she can actually feel whatever it is that the person she's tapping into can feel and relays that back so accurately. She is also very warm, humorous, and easy to talk to. I find myself laughing during our sessions and always feel comfortable no matter what because she is so down to earth. She is also able to tap into my ancestral energy and often reminds me of my spirit team and the protection around me, which always feels very grounding and reassuring. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, relieved, and with a strong sense of clarity and reassurance. I truly don't know how I could have gotten through so many challenging times in life without her. Her wisdom, her guidance, and her empathy is what makes her so special. Thank you, Michelle, for always helping me heal!

I have attended numerous reiki circles led by Kelly and her husband, Dr.Steve, and I always leave grounded and with more positive and loving energy than I arrived with. The reiki circles are diverse in terms of attendees (age,gender,race,religion,ect.) so I believe it is welcoming for everyone. You don't need any prior experience or knowledge of reiki to attend. They do teach a little reiki theory during the circle. During the first reiki circle of the month Kelly has lead beautiful reiki meditations and it is donation based; you have nothing to loose in trying it out. In terms of private sessions, I've had both a reiki session and intuitive reading with Kelly. I received the energy healing and guidance I was hoping for. Besides her professional skillset, I think Kelly has a beautiful, gentle, and approachable soul. She is easy to communicate with and you feel like you're seen and heard in her sessions. Lastly, she works from a high ethical and moral standard as a healer. I highly recommend Kelly for your reiki and healing interests or needs!

I debated long and hard as to whether or not leave a review here. However, after meditating on it…read moreand realizing how important is to get balanced perspectives on something so important as mental health, I find my heart leading me to sharing my experience here for others to consider. There were traditional therapists I found through my insurance provider. Licensed counselors and psychologists. No one was "clicking," and after battling with crippling anxiety, manic episodes, and depression, I bit the bullet and made an appointment with Jacqui. This was back in July 2016. I had a free phone consult with her first. Her voice was warm and her advice was concrete. However, she also pushed me to write a positive review of her book on Amazon. There was definitely a mercenary and marketing tone to her approach. My husband and I paid a substantial amount for my first and only session. We spent most of that time reviewing my past and writing out a "master script," in which I was to detail who I wanted to be with orders to record myself saying these self-affirmations, which were then to reviewed everyday. She smiled and said I would achieve the results I wanted if I purchased her packages, which would be "very cool," as she put it. She also determined I would need the maximum number of sessions with her given how vulnerable and agitated I came across. Then the strange stuff happened. I asked Jacqui for an invoice. I wanted to see if I could submit an itemized bill to my insurance company for out-of-network behavioral services. Jacqui called me right away and told me she didn't have a diagnostic code. She suggested I get a code from my psychiatrist. Then she called me back to say she was moving to North Carolina and could only offer video sessions. The price would remain the same. I declined, and thought, well that's the end of that. But it was not. She continued to call me. She told me I was one of the fortunate few who would be able to receive a free session with someone she personally vetted, a man familiar with "tapping." She promised to watch to make sure he was a good enough replacement. The whole process would take place in her Costa Mesa office. At first, I said yes, because hey, free is not a bad deal. Yet deep down the whole thing reeked of duplicity. Yes, Jacqui is warm and has a good beside manner. However, she made claims I don't think any mental health provider would assert. That may be the point; she is not practicing under a code of ethics. Healing Minds is where people go when they've run out of options. Ultimately, I refused the free session with her replacement. I chose instead to go with evidence-backed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a proven system that has reduced my emotional reactivity and improved my relationships. Given what transpired, I cannot recommend Healing Minds or Jacqui's services under good conscience.

This isn't about me, this is about you. You are here obviously to seek help in your life. To…read moreregain some control, to let go of outdated, hindering emotions. There are therapist that only help people for the money. Therapist whom get jaded over the years and only see clients as numbers walking in and out of their office. This was a concern of mine. To pay a stranger to care for your problems for an allotted amount of time, and give you feedback and techniques to take home that may or may not just keep you running mental circles was a big concern for me when researching therapists. So let me alleviate them for you when speaking of Jacqui. I emailed her a standard net email I was sending to some therapist in the OC/LA area. Her response was the same day. We set up an introductory phone session for later that week. Within the phone session, I felt the sincerity that Jacqui was offering that I was looking for. Instead of just the usual psycho-spiel that most other therapists were giving me on the phone interviews, Jacqui actually let me talk, was not worried about time too much, and listened to what I was saying. That sealed it for me. We set up our actual session for the next week. I have never done professional hypno-therapy or EFT before, and I had minor doubts only because I know how my mind likes to distract itself, especially when being told to be quiet. The pace and direction of the session were all very well received though At the end of the session, I did see some immediate changes in my mannerism regarding the my own self defeating patterns. Jacqui's sincerity shined through till the very end of our session, and it was an added bonus to know that she still actively seeks her own betterment, not many therapists will admit to that. Instead of selling me an inflated amount of sessions, she suggested the amount she saw fit for my progression. I am done with my sessions with her, and I am very happy that I chose Jacqui. A bit of advise from me though, it is awesome that you are seeking help, but do not be addicted to seeking help from without. Any good teacher, therapist, psychologist, etc. will only be a great guiding post to your own inner answers and truth. They are not the answer, and they will not have the answers for you, they can only point you to your own, and it is up to you then to live within it. And Jacqui is an excellent guiding post! I am recommending my girlfriend to go see Jacqui, and anyone else that may read this review. Hope this has helped you with your decision! Cheers!
