She channeled my brother and helped me move through my grief for him. Jan is very talented, a good listener and taps into areas you may not have thought to ask about.

She is a local and is a true talent.

At Jan's house, set with my Qs for my psych Zoom recording; had 3 Qs to ask for a dying friend. Jan…read morestopped recording to talk offline to give me her editorial comments about the friend. ??!! Then started Zoom. That was Pt. 2, 9mins. Then I asked my Qs, which was Zoom Pt. 1, Jan tested the Zoom recording and hit record, which reading was less than 1 hr. I took notes [belt + suspenders type gal]. Jan put my Visa thru the next day. Told me Zoom recordings would be emailed to me within a day or 2. However it took several back + forth emails over 4 days for the Zoom recordings. I opened up Pt. 2, which came first, Pt. 1 came a day after that. Pt. 2 audio was fine. Finally got Pt. 1, = wouldn't allow access! Discovered the operator, Jan, made a mistake and used a wrong email address, which never happened before and not an email I've ever used. Right email on Pt. 2, wrong email on Pt. 1. Jan wouldn't admit she made the mistake, instead accused me. I emailed her: fix it, or call Zoom. She wouldn't do either, and wouldn't give me company contact info so I could contact them. But she made sure she got her Visa payment $$$, even tho I only got 9 min., and still waiting to hear the nearly 1 hr. Part 1, the one with all my Qs. to ask about my husband who passed 2/6/26. She refused to tell me how much she charged when I asked 3x. Had to call Visa for the answer: $170.00! Her last email to me, days later -- testily complaining she had counted 11 emails from me about this. I replied that she reacted thruout unprofessionally, more surprisingly wouldn't help me, her client, and further these were not the actions of a friend with a conscience. A professional in any business would refund my money because I after all did not get a complete Zoom reading which was purpose after all, she made a mistake and wouldn't own up, because it was the right thing to do and because I live entirely on Soc.Sec., like, I'm not rich or middle-upper. I guess her greed got in the way. Yes, I took notes, and glad I did, but I wanted the recording. That was what I paid for. She refused. And yesterday I received in the mail from her my Visa receipt in the amount of $170! The effrontery! Not only that but aggressive and insulting disrespect. She I liken to a fraud and a swindler. And a fair weather friend. Told her from the beginning I would not let this go. And if anyone has info. on Zoom CEO contact info., please email me. Even my computer man doesn't know. Too powerful computer man all but said. Hey, no one is above any of us, not in America or elsewhere. Buyer beware. Get the goods, then payment. Thanks.

I did a 6-session Access Bars series with Fiona and it was healing and soothing. Fiona has amazing…read moregentle and authentic energy and was so caring, insightful and kind. She worked with me to explore and find peace with two relatives that were difficult for me, who had passed away. I came to an understanding of them and was able to let go of all my complicated feelings and now I just feel love and empathy. It is so freeing. We also worked through some of the collective trauma such as fires and the pandemic. Fiona taught me practices that I use daily to reduce stress and anxiety and manage my energy in relation to other people and outside events. The practices are particularly helpful as I'm trying to fall asleep at night. I highly recommend her.

I sought out classes which would get me moving while allowing me to explore a new dance style. Fiona's way of mixing traditional bellydance movement with cardio workouts allows us as students to build up the skill and knowledge quickly. Her classes don't include mirrors, so we can learn the Tribal method of following a leader, with the added benefit of not having to worry how we look doing so. I'm still getting used to this particular aspect, as it is wildly different from my background dancing in mirrored studios, but it's challenging in a new way, which I'm thoroughly enjoying.

She took time to get to know a bit about my current headspace and helped be to reframe some of the ways I was experiencing the transition I was in. Very positive! It really made a difference to have her help me notice how my language around earning vs deserving would open me up to receiving more of the success and goodness I've been working so hard for. She helped clear some old ties to the past that I feel we're really effecting my present self. It's amazing how effective her work was for me. She blends quite a few modalities. I will definitely be back and could see how helpful this sort of work is for making positive and lasting shifts. Thanks Jenny!

My wife and I had our third baby at home through Thrive in November, and again, I can do nothing…read morebut sing their praises. I had complete confidence that Thrive had our best interests at heart every moment my wife and son were in their care. As usual, they practiced informed consent, validation of experiences, and love to a degree that I have never seen or even dreamed of previously in health care settings. The highlight of this birth experience was (of course) the birth itself. This time we were graced with three of the midwives through good fortune. Again, immediately after birth, our newborn struggled to take his first breaths. We waited about 8 minutes for him to take that first breath, and yet, my wife, daughter, son and I were all calm and felt immensely supported in that moment by the three women in our presence who absolutely knew what their calling was and what their roles were in that moment. It is hard to comprehend how different that experience could have felt from a sterile, medical, environment of a hospital, and how different our newborn's first few minutes, hours, and days after birth could have been. Not to mention how the perception and feelings surrounding births could have been malformed for our young son and daughter. We are so immensely thankful to have this collective of women in Sonoma County who are such a breath of fresh air!

Jennifer Joyce's studio has a storefront on Pico with a cool little gallery that you enter through on your way into the studio. She has a lot of her own work here which is great; this is a real artists' studio and not some soul-less color-me-mine! The classes are small, and kids are encouraged to explore their own interests. I love that the clay and tools are provided at the studio, and included in the price of the class! Overall, Jennifer has a fantastic little studio with a really positive feel.

How does anyone birth a child without taking Kelly's class?? In her empowering and grounded way,…read moreKelly would say you don't NEED the class, you will birth your baby no matter what! But let me tell you, I feel infinitely more confident and informed after taking this class, and much calmer about the process. I can't imagine heading into birth without the wisdom I gained. The content is so relevant, evidence-based, unbiased, captivating... the time flew by. Even my husband, who was a little skeptical heading into it, totally had his mind blown and is a much more informed partner about his role in labor. Kelly herself is a godsend. She has a wealth of knowledge on this complex topic and presents it in the most digestible way. She is a brilliant educator, not just a brilliant birth educator. I wish we all had a Kelly to teach us about this when we were children. Five stars does not do this justice. If you're on the fence about whether you need a birth class, just sign up. You, your partner, and your baby will all benefit tremendously.

I was anxious about taking a birthing class virtually, but Kelly really knocks it out of the park…read more She keeps the class small and conversational, covers a wide variety of topics, and ultimately helped me and my partner feel so much better prepared for the birth of our first baby. After class she sends out some great materials and reading to further prepare. Most of the class mentioned they were doing hospital births, so she was able to tailor her material to the experience we would be having at a hospital. Lots of time for questions and quality things to take away. Highly recommend!

She did have a visit at our house, and multiple emails. During our interview (my initial call to her) I explained in detail why I wanted to hire a college counselor. I needed someone who would follow up, and follow through, with my child. I wanted to step away from that part of searching for schools. CONS: *Maria would send emails, but not follow up. He wouldn't respond. I wrote her saying that my son is much better through direct contact, not email. I asked if she would follow up. She said, "I cannot make him read emails." *Maria didn't know much about the CA State system. We visited Cal Poly and realized that we had been given incorrect info. *She asked the same things about volunteering, hobbies, and school size over and over, even though my child gave her the information. *when she came to our house, her file seemed like it was for a totally different student. She had med/large school (he checked off small). She asked about volunteering (we had already told her he had 100s of volunteer hours). After she left, my child no longer wanted to work with her. *Before asking for money back, I asked for an SAT tutor in the area. She didn't have a recommendation. *THE BIGGEST CON: while working with Maria, my son put ZERO colleges on his list. So, for $900, this was not a good result. We finally went to his school counselor and had a zoom meeting. She scheduled another zoom 2 weeks later, and sent my child a few bullet points in an email for him to work on before the next meeting. He had 2 colleges by the next meeting. More colleges in 2 weeks, than a few months before. I highly recommend speaking with your school counselor before hiring someone. We found out that he will get into his first 3 choices (one being Cal Poly). This was by going directly through Cal Poly's site to see how they weigh college courses. The grades average into the GPA for required courses. Great if your school doesn't have AP. His high school counselor guided him through in a handful of meetings.
