After my…read moreessence coaching session with Anna I felt lighter, energized and had a clear vision of how to move myself forward. Anna is so talented on finding your inner core spirit and helping align that spirit with your day-to-day life. I highly recommend Anna Tsui for anyone feeling stuck, heavy or uneasy about their current affairs.

I'm usually very skeptical of life coaching and therapy (I've been through 4 therapists that have…read moreall failed to get to the bottom of the issue). When I went to see Anna, she very quickly was able to figure out what was really at the bottom of my concerns and how I viewed the world, and gave me advice and guidance to start me on a journey to self introspection. She very quickly made me feel that the long road to self-development and happiness is a rewarding one and one where I have a trustworthy ally.

Fate brought me to a chance meeting with Julie, at a mutual friends birthday party. I instantly…read morefelt comfortable around her; she was easy to talk to and listened, really listened to what you were saying. After meeting her and hearing about her services; I thought, how cool is she? Now - fast forward... Have you ever been (driving, sitting, staring into space) and think to yourself; what am I doing? I did that everyday for entirely too long, and then one of those days I remembered JULIE! I wasn't sure if she was the right person to talk to, but figured if she wasn't, she could point me in the right direction. I called her with one question, "What am I doing with my career in life?" I felt lost, and out of sorts. For once in my life, I really wasn't sure if the path I was on, was the right one for me, and I needed a professional to coach me. I needed direction from someone I trusted, and trusting Julie was very easy for me to do. After our initial conversation, a barrage of things came out - things I thought had nothing to do with my career/life question. One week we're talking about a business plan, the next week, it was anxiety and mental ticks; how to approach a difficult conversation with coworkers, superiors and my husband; what could potentially be the next step for me; entrepreneurship?, writing a business plan, my marriage ceremony! We covered A LOT. And this isn't therapy folks, this is a trusted partner who has a crazy amount of experience in life who helps you. I.E. she is a true coach. If you still aren't sold; think about playing a sport, you have a coach right, someone who might show you a different way to look at a play, or help you with your form, or listen to what you are saying, and translate it back to what they heard. This is what Julie does. And she does it well... Very well. And much like any coach - the work that was done between sessions; it was hard, don't let me fool you, she isn't going to walk into your life and throw some pixie dust on you and call it done. Some of the issues that surfaced were deeply personal and hurt to talk about. But those were my personal road blocks. And with Julie's help, I have overcome them, and work everyday to keep overcoming them. IMO; Julie can coach through work and life issues and everything in between. I am a different person than who I was four or five months ago. I am more passionate at work, a better wife to my husband, and have found my creative mojo again. Trust me, if you need a nudge to get yourself back on track. Call Julie, you won't regret it.

I met Cathy at a networking event for Health Practitioners, and we immediately connected! My…read moreinitial decision to work with Cathy came from my desire to become an empowerment coach as well, with the idea that seeing a coach as nurturing, strong, and loving as Cathy would help me to better understand myself, so I can best serve others. Cathy has exceeded all my expectations. Each session varies in that we explore deep spiritual discovery through modalities like tapping, reiki and visualization. She cares deeply for her clients, recording our sessions so I can listen to them following our sessions; It's pretty much like having a little Cathy in my pocket any time I need her loving support! Cathy is the first coach I have ever worked with, and honestly I have had far more personal growth and clarity through working with her than I have with the two therapists I'd seen prior. I highly recommend her to anyone who is wanting to deepen their spiritual practice or feel ready for big personal growth! I see so much change occurring in my life and thanks to Cathy's gentle guidance, I feel totally empowered! Thank you for all you do!

"Psychotherapy is not effective against self-criticism"…read more I'm not sure who said that but I wrote it down a some time ago. It rang true for me. I had told my therapist many times that knowing the why my unwanted behaviors existed wasn't helping me change them. I needed something actionable. One afternoon, as I procrastinated on the things I needed to do to successfully launch a new business, I realized the palpable anxiety that some things provoked. I researched alternative therapies - tapping, massage, hypnosis, reiki - before I decided on reiki. Lucky for me my first call to a local massage/reiki center went unanswered, because I then looked closer at Cathy's ad and then at her website. She mentions several of the things that I had been researching that afternoon. I made the call and saw her that night. We all suffer from different issues, so, it stands to reason that the solution will be different for each of us. I'm not sure what the ultimate solution will be for me, but I have found a guide in Cathy. I had often thought that the best relationships we have are with people who are great verbal backboards - they help us hear ourselves. She has already proven to be a great backboard - not only to help me hear myself, but also to suggest novel ways to clear the self-hurdles that have been limiting my progress. Making the first phone call was the hardest thing for me to do. I'm so glad I did it.

Her capacity to hear what was needed in my business influenced my actions toward incredible results.

She is very knowledgeable in helping a business owner or team with organizational strategies, and ideas to help grow business. As I got more and more comfortable with speaking on the phone with her each week she even became like a therapist for me in particular, and would listen to my personal issues as well as my business issues and was always willing to offer advice. Please if you are on the fence about coaching, give Liz a chance. You will not be disappointed.

I cannot recommend this program strongly enough! Shannon helps you be what you want to be. I am the…read moresame person I was before her program - yet simultaneously completely different. I had been on an exhaustive 10-year career search, looking for a position that fit others' expectations of where I should be next . . . Not realizing that the career I was already making for myself, was most closely aligned with my values, beliefs, and desire to live a balanced, yet well-paid life that puts my happiness, and presence for my children first. (As Shannon put it, I am like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz - in that I didn't need to "look any further than my own back yard.") I wanted clarity over the future direction of my career, and to get to where I want to be. This goal was met due to the expert advice of Shannon. My product and brand has been strengthened, and I am much more mindful and intentional about the career decisions I make. Shannon listens, then reminds you what you said is important to YOU, rather than fit you into a cookie-cutter program. I wholeheartedly recommend the Whole U. process.

I'd hire a professional to fix my car, or operate on my heart... so I'd certainly hire a pro to guide my way to my new career. Working with Shannon helped me set up a road map to reach my goal. I learned how to: write a 21st-century resume, re-do my LinkedIn page, and I learned (again) that there's no time like the present to start the first step toward my goal. I learned that my goal isn't ridiculous and could actually provide a huge benefit to people. I really appreciate the holistic approach to Whole U. advising services. Everything in this world is interconnected, whether one believes that in a spiritual or scientific way, and one's career is not excluded from that.
