This is not a review of a counseling session, but a half hour conversation I had with Elvina over…read morethe phone. I'm currently a graduate student enrolled in a counseling course, and conducting interviews of various local counseling professionals in the Bay Area. Elvina promptly responded to my request for an interview (without incentive) on a Saturday afternoon, and was very engaged throughout our conversation. She was honest, supportive, and very helpful. Her education and experience were formative in our dialogue, and I got a real sense that her care was genuine.

This review is almost 2 years overdue. I've been reluctant and am finally doing it now…read more Background: in Oct 2020 my fiancé Johnny and I came to Elvina for help. We met 7 years prior. After the first 6 months, Johnny didn't want to be physical with me, citing trauma from losing money in stocks. I couldn't leave him during this low point of his life so we stayed together. We weathered ups and downs and built a strong companionship. In late 2020 after being on breaks I finally resolved to leave him. He talked me into getting counseling as the last resort. This was how we started seeing Elvina. Elvina went over why we were there. My main issue was the lack of intimacy and Johnny's was the way we fight. We saw Elvina regularly for over a month. We talked about Johnny's concerns, conflict resolutions, even the details of his business. It was all about Johnny but Elvina forgot my main concern - the no-sex was NEVER mentioned. After a while, I gave up. It was difficult enough for me to bring it up at all (cultural taboo) and now it was further invalidated - is it even a big deal? Am I making a big deal out of nothing? I stopped seeing Elvina, feeling so embarrassed that I couldn't even tell her why I stopped. Life went on and we just had a baby (through IVF). Things are not better - Johnny got into stocks again and stopped bed sharing with me, citing he had to trade. Through my pregnancy (and all its hormonal heights), I was mostly alone at night. Then the market crashed and Johnny lost it all again. He now invests heavily in his business (borrow money to do so) and we fight constantly, me being weary and skeptical, and he thinks I'm being negative. Affection is so foreign and seem impossible in my future. Thinking back on Oct 2020 I wish I had more courage. I was so close to addressing my concern. Johnny would not address my concern. No one would. I wish there was professional help, the help I sought for. I wish there is some understanding of why he's this way. I have no confidence I will ever know, or that any professionals can help. Of course, life is not black and white. Johnny has a good heart. We get along well mostly. We also bonded over our son. But there is no intimacy. And there is always stress over his finance. I wish we could have talked about these in therapy. I write this because hopefully therapists would realize the importance of not dismissing their patient's chief complaint. I came to her seeking help at a pivotal point in my life and it was dismissed. I can't help but feel a deep sense of resentment towards it every time I am confronted with the reality of my circumstance.

Angelic cleared any blockages I had, and I could actually feel the energy surging through me. I left feeling much lighter and with less tension. Afterward, she did a chakra analysis and provided a ton of insight. The soul reading was fascinating and she shared so many important messages in such a short time.

I am deeply grateful for my love coaching experience with Lauren. Our journey together was…read moreapproximately a 4 month process. Although I have a great career, I felt I was missing something but didn't know what it was. Through Lauren's coaching sessions, we journeyed together into what I wanted. She led when I was unclear on where to go and held space for me to discover for myself. Her coaching felt safe while being challenge that allowed for growth. Through that time, I controlled how deeply I wanted to go. If I was willing to open up in complete transparent vulnerability, Lauren exactly where I was at. She allowed me the space to lead and explore my own self. Ultimately my greatest discovery is how important taking care of my sexual energy is. As a man, there is no greater fulfillment than knowing that I can fulfill the sexual needs of the women in my life. Lauren helped me rediscover the sexual passion in me, how important it is to me, and how it affects how I live my life. When this energy is present, I am unstoppable. When it is not, I feel unfulfilled and energetically fatigued. It is almost like my soul itself is tired and not interested in living out my life's purpose. I have realized that only I can turn on this sexual drive within me. The answer and the almost magical piece of my life's puzzle that I was looking for was to both embrace and honor my sexual energy and then to pour and penetrate this energy into the cup of the woman of my choosing. Any man who desires to experience a rejuvenation of heart, body and soul through sexual energy and vitality would be well served to allow Lauren the opportunity to guide him through his own personal discovery journey. It happened for me, and I know she will do the same for you.

We did some breathing exercises at the start and discussed what I was seeking out of the session. Annette came from a place of full understanding and empathy.

Even my friends and family said I had a new glow about me and my face looked brighter. It's been a few days since my session and I am still being told y overall demeanor looks brighter.

Upon meeting them for the first time, We instantly felt safe and secure in their presence, which is unfamiliar for us as a result of past traumas. However, we felt comfortable and at home with the two of them. Hannah and I reached out to Aila and Jonathan seeking a closer connection spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Trauma had fractured our abilities to open up and connect with each other in these ways consistently. Although we had tried individual and couples talk therapy, there was still a disconnect between our bodies and minds. When "traditional" methods had let us down, The Love Gurus were there to pick us up. Hannah and I were both able to open up our hearts, minds, and bodies to the healing process through our sessions and the immersion courses. The results were phenomenal. I'm happy to say that we're now engaged and in the best place that we've ever been. Hannah and I would HIGHLY recommend the Love Gurus to any of our closest friends and family. We are confident that you will come to a greater understanding of yourself, your behaviors, and how they impact your ability to give/receive love. Aila and Jonathan also go out of their way to ensure that you receive the best care possible. They always made themselves available to us. Never did we have a question, email, or phone call that went unanswered. They were there for us far beyond what we signed up for. This was the BEST healing care that we have ever received! If you're feeling scared, please know that we were too. You have nothing to fear with Jonathan and Aila! They're only here to help. With love, Hannah and Matt

Hello and this is my review of my visitation and experience to certified hypnotherapist, Sherille…read moreMarquez. At first, I was like anyone else, skeptical of hypnosis. But I was also curious and had an open mind to try it out for the first time. The environment, for the session, was very helpful. It was a comfortable and a non-distracting space. As I was told to lay on my back, close my eyes, and relax. The hypnotherapist's calming voice instructed and helped myself to enter a subconscious mindset. I was asked questions by her that I wanted to know while in this hypnotized state. After the session was complete, I felt a heavy weight was lifted. The hypnotherapist, I now can say, helped my skeptical thoughts of hypnosis to becoming being a firm believer! I was then sent via email, the recording of the session. I was very amazed of my answers by the questions asked. It helped find a new "blueprint" that I can see clearly now. I highly suggest making an appointment with Certified professional Hypnotherapist Sherille Marquez. Finding answers to seek future personable mental and emotional happiness is always priceless! Thank you for reading my review!

Jeanieva is friendly and puts you at ease as soon as she says, "hello" at the door. I am open to spirituality and new experiences but never had done Reiki. She explained the process and read my angel cards. I personally experienced feeling pressure in certain areas of my body "chakras" which she explained the beams were working on that area. I felt lighter, a bit lightheaded and did have a headache for a few minutes when she was working my crown chakra. She said that was normal. Anyways, I would definitely go back for a tune up when I need one.
