Thanks, David!

Sara is a genuine caring person and an excellent listener. She is entirely present while working with you and she will work hard to understand who you are, your goals, struggles, and how to help you overcome. After every session she writes a detailed recap of what you discussed and what you will work on until the next session. She is so intuitive, intelligent, and open-hearted. She is easy to talk to and you will feel a true bond with her knowing her heart is rooting for you. It's been five years and I still think about all she taught me and I am still moved by how much she cares about others and their success.

She is empathetic, offers great advice and is very knowledgeable in her field. I'm not a very outgoing, wear my heart on my sleeve type of person but she makes it very easy to dive into the vulnerable places that need to be brought to light. She was placed in my path at a perfect time, to help me learn more about myself, uncover the areas where I am holding myself back and unblock me from living a life full of passion and purpose. For awhile, deep down that I was longing for something different but didn't know how to get there and Meredith is the perfect person to help guide you along your journey to listen to those inner voices and has made me feel like I am becoming a better, more free and true version of myself.

Kat Allen and the Four Aims Center has been so important to me and to my family…read more The Four Aims Center is really a multi-faceted sanctuary tucked next to a corner of the green Lincoln Park in West Seattle, easily accessible from Fauntleroy Avenue and all parts of Seattle. The center that Kat has built is professional but very personal and warm. It invites quiet, open, discussion and revelation. The practice benefits from the environment of the building and the neighborhood. Kat's guidance and wisdom and her quiet calm approach, benefitting both mind and body, is the reason that I am writing. Kat has the life experience to understand and help uncover layers of the daily struggle we all encounter, the depth to understand and guide through personal and family of origin explorations, personal history, and the breadth to help individuals, couples, and families. She does not judge, she guides, sometimes simply listening, often reflecting. Her repertoire includes deep personal investigation and teaching experience in yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and spiritual exploration as well as traditional counseling and therapy. Kat is incredibly knowledgeable about the standard experts in psychology and therapy wile also offering a broad approach and the ability to reach for the seasoned experiences of meditative and spiritual masters. The Four Aims Center is a unique environment to unfold personal questions and explorations in a peaceful and trusting setting. If you are exploring yourself and your life and looking for guidance I highly recommend you have a conversation with Kat Allen.

Julie is a nice person (which makes sense as she was a former elementary school teacher), but my…read moreexperience was that she is not a skilled life coach. Julie overpromised and undelivered. Initially, I chose her because of her 5-star reviews and because she claimed to be more available than most coaches, even offering daily text reminders and check-ins. I had to keep reminding her to text me and ultimately gave up when she neglected to follow through on her commitment over and over again. She failed to deliver accountability as promised and had very limited, basic tools that she repeated over and over again. Her coaching was redundant, disorganized, uninspired, and lacked clarity and focus. I hired Julie and paid her $3000+ for coaching services. I feel like I lost money, precious time, and energy. I felt so frustrated that we ultimately agreed to end our agreement two sessions early. A full refund would have been appreciated but Julie has a No Refund policy. Buyer beware. I have since hired a different coach who is significantly more skilled and have made more progress in the last month with my new coach than I did with Julie in over 6 months. YMMV.

Since working with Julie, I am a lot happier. My confidence and happiness infiltrates every other part of my life, which has not gone unnoticed by family members, friends, and colleagues. One major difference between now and then is that I no longer feel the need to avoid or reject my emotions. Now, I sit with my feelings, allow the emotions to wash over me. and think about why I might be feeling what I'm feeling... and so begins the thought work!
