I can't say I gained the courage to take the plunge after our sessions to pursue my true passion(s) in life, but I did get closer to my true self in my career path. Sometimes the more measured, incremental approach is wiser anyways. Jessica helped me with closing the door on a past career that was not the right fit, which had been hard to let go of. It is challenging to get anywhere in 4 sessions with a new coach, but I was surprised by the amount of ground we covered. I could have probably used 8 sessions with Jessica, and would have happily done that but due to finances this was what I could afford. Jessica's style was more directive and she offered greater guidance than other coaches I've tried (where sessions meander and lack progress). I liked that. Her services are more expensive than others out there (the only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars), but she is a very good life coach and anyone who works with her is bound to benefit. She is good at responding via email also.

This is my first review of Jessica, but it's the second time that I've had a chance to work with…read moreher. The very first session that I had with Jessica, I wanted to work on my relationship to divine partnership. This was a concept that Jessica was perfectly able to speak into. Very quickly she let me empty all of the thoughts that I had in my head out.. all of my complaints, beliefs, self-talk, etc. She gently guided me through my body to begin to discover the truths that I was working with inside. Much of it was discover of the answers that were in my body, waiting to be heard. The whole time, Jessica was tuned into my field and was able to give me a beautiful and accurate reflection of what was happening inside me. This skillset of hers greatly helped my navigation of my own energetic and emotional landscape, as if felt like I had another set of eyes seeing inside myself. Jessica works on a quantum level with her clients, so expect some quantum weirdness (as in surprise miracles). I found her skillset to be far advanced from what you might get from the average therapist/coach. This was profound stuff, and she was able to navigate it simply and economically with time. My second session I wanted to work with her on body image, my relationship to beauty, my own sense of self-love, and my relationship to the marketplace of single life. This was a subtle issue for me, as I've done a lot of work on it, do healing work on other people around it, and know it well. Trite answers were not going to be enough for it. Jessica was able to reveal more of the structure of my thinking and what agreements and ideas had anchored unuseful paradigms in place. Jessica again used so much of the intelligence that was already alive in my body and in my field. She was able to navigate the hologram of my reality adeptly, moving very quickly to the juice of it. Even more important... my body has been amazingly tingly all the way through each session. Usually within 5-10 minutes of talking to her, I already feel my body beginning to release and go into an energy shift with lots of yawning and tearing up at my eyes. This is always a sure-fire way for me to know something is lifting. Truly a gem. You will not find an experience of this caliber in many places. Worth driving to or working over the internet with. I live in Portland, OR and I am glad that I can connect with her over the internet.

I am long overdue in writing this review. I would recommend Sabrina to anyone who wants to get…read morehealthy in an organic way! I had worked with Sabrina in the past and after years of struggling and as I have gotten older, I knew I had to reach out to her. I have always been active and I workout every day so that was not an issue for me. But I was still slowly and steadily gaining weight. I have tried every meal plan and/or diet you can think of spending hundreds of dollars a week on food and hours in the kitchen meal prepping, and nothing worked long term. I reached out to Sabrina in September and started working with her a week or so after my initial call. She made a few tweaks to my diet and my exercise routine, and the weight began to come off. We worked together until the middle of January. During our time working together I lost 20lbs. OVER. THE. HOLIDAYS. I am a social person, and food is always a part of that, so the holidays are especially challenging. If I can lose 20lbs over the holidays, anyone can. Since finishing my last session with Sabrina I have continued to lose weight. It doesn't come off as fast because I am not super focused on it, but that is what I love. It has felt easy to just keep doing what I am doing. The changes she made to my diet fit easily into my lifestyle. I finally feel like I am not on a diet, I have just changed the way I eat, and I am spending less money on food and spending less time on meal prepping than I was before working with her. I don't get on the scale a lot these days as I am more focused on feeling good than what the scale says, but every time I do, I am down a few more pounds.

Over the last 15 years I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on doctors, naturopaths,…read morefunctional nutritionists, integrative medicine physicians, acupuncturists, and even an energy healer--along with countless supplements and herbs--hoping to regain my energy and health. Yet, despite all this, I saw very little improvement. Recently, I realized that I had lost several pounds, and it became clear that a major part of the problem was that I simply wasn't eating enough. I'd been vegetarian for most of my life, and even after adding meat, I struggled because of my love for animals. On top of that, my demanding job often had me so focused that I would forget to eat entirely. I felt untethered to my life--weak, off-balance, and sometimes even fearful of driving or going out. I knew I needed someone to tell me exactly what to eat and how much, someone I could work with personally. I was so overwhelmed by conflicting information online--one source said this diet was essential, another said it was dangerous--that I thought all I needed was a clear plan. What I didn't realize was that I needed someone to help me identify why I was so paralyzed around food and how to address it. When I found Sabrina, I was drawn not only to her nutrition expertise but also her training as a Life Coach. After our first meeting, I knew I was in the right hands. The 14 weeks I spent with Sabrina were the best investment I've ever made in my health. Our sessions went far beyond food--she helped me uncover why I was avoiding eating, why I couldn't gain weight or strength despite eating very healthy, and how to break those patterns. She took the time to learn what I actually like to eat, then provided a personalized meal library to guide me with meals and snacks, which made staying on track so much easier. Her Life Coach approach was invaluable! She is non-judgmental, supportive, and gently kept me on track, adjusting strategies when needed. All of my calls with her were grounding and soothing, especially amid my chaotic workdays. Thanks to Sabrina, I now understand the habits that were stealing my health, and I'm actively reversing them. I've started putting weight back on, feel stronger and more confident in my daily life, and no longer have anxiety around food. If you've been struggling with nutrition, habits, or energy, Sabrina can guide you with knowledge, support, and understanding. You deserve to feel strong, confident, and healthy--don't wait to reach out to her!

When I came to Dr. Wong Lerner, I needed help with my speech for the purpose of my work, and to develop my career. But I gained so much more. Dr. Wong Lerner conducted a very thorough evaluation of my speech to start, and then a couple of weeks later went over an "Accent spectrum" report that had all of the areas of speech that needed attention. What impressed and still impresses me about Dr. WL's expertise of speech, working with ESL people, and language (she has a passive knowledge of Chinese and some other languages) is that she knows so much in so many different areas. But also, it's the way she makes me feel safe and comfortable with this process of re-learning English for my job and my personal growth that would have otherwise been very difficult for me. And was difficult. I have already shifted my speech from a very closed mouth and not being able to pronounce many different consonants and vowels and words, to now where I have moved past much of that and I am learning speech patterns, and more complicated aspects of speech. I have learned not only how to speak better, but I've become more confident at my job and in my life. Shannon taught me how to speak more clearly but also how to speak up for myself! I do not hesitate to recommend her to any ESL speaker for these same accent reduction services (or I heard she works with UK speakers). This will be a lifelong set of lessons for me! Thank you, Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner!

I was initially placed with someone else in the agency but was picked up by Regina since the…read moreprevious person did not keep in contact with me. I was placed on an assignment with an engineering company and was let go. I was initially told by Regina AND the engineering company that it was due to lack of work. My days with the engineering company consisted of me asking for work to do and waiting around all day/week for work. I've reached out to Regina to ask for a new assignment but was told to stay with the company because they "really liked me" and "they're a great company". However, I'm now being told otherwise. After my departure from the Engineering company, I applied for EDD benefits, reason being: lack of work. Now I am told I will be losing my benefits as it was not due to lack of work as I was told. It's due to my performance. I reached back to Regina and was told "she had reached out to the company again after my assignment ended and was told they've changed their reasoning from lack of work to performance issues." All this which I was not notified of. Not from Regina, not from the engineering company while I was there. I find this very unprofessional as someone, ANYONE could've told me the truth but here we are going back and forth playing the blame game. Don't get me wrong, Regina is VERY nice and attentive but this whole situation is unacceptable and unprofessional. As Regina being my recruiter, I would've expected to be updated about this information and now I'll be losing my benefits and having to reimburse unemployment all because I wasn't told "they've changed their mind on their reason" whether it's the truth or not, I DON'T KNOW.

And if you are good at what you do, why would you have to. I almost hired Jeanie to help me with redoing my resume and consulting on what appropriate places of employment would be ideal to apply to based on the strength finder test. She did make a few changes to my existing resume, but I wasn't impressed. Thanked her but it left a lot to be desired. Red flags definitely went up when she referred to my being empathetic as a negative since Empathy is one of my top 5 strengths. Red flags because there is no weaknesses in your strengths when it comes to strength finder. That's the entire point of the system. Instead of trying to improve weaknesses in a career setting, strength finder teaches how to utilize your strengths. This led me to check to see if she was CERTIFIED by Clifton and strength finder and I learned she wasn't. https://www.gallup.com/learning/certification/en/directory - Her website states she is trained, which in my opinion is misleading. I did find a wonderful CERTIFIED coach and it's a world of difference. They're positive and upbeat and definitely know what they are talking about. I had also hired her for tutoring my son some years ago and to help my daughter with essay writing for college application. While I appreciated her help with my son, I didn't realize she hired college and HS students to tutor the kids while charging the rates that she does. More recently I hired a math tutor for my son, paying the same rate, but it was one on one tutoring, and there definitely was a difference. To each their own, but not the sort of place or person I want to do business with.
