She has a gift for listening without judgment and then translating insights into practical next steps. I appreciated how available and responsive she was, and how focused she stayed on helping me make measurable progress toward my goals. I'm incredibly grateful for her guidance and would absolutely recommend her to anyone ready to grow with intention.

I also love the fact that she never rush me during our readings. I really dislike those readers saying oh our time is up, I gotta go... to me, that's great customer service! She is also available almost anytime I need her, very flexible schedule since I don't know when I ever need a reading / healing. I highly recommend her for any readings. She's great!

I truly can't find the words of appreciation...Valina has literally changed my life, I will forever…read morebe grateful, and her unwavering support. Valina's arsenal of highly educated resources of individuals with such a high level of desire to help others heal, is by far more superior than I've experienced. She has helped me realize trauma is not a blanketed experience, but rather an individual experience, that needs personal evaluation, and attention for proper healing...it's deeper work than I imagined but having Valina by my side trudging through it with me was exactly what I desperately needed. Truly a blessing to have found her

Velina is amazing! I wish I could give her 6 stars. Obviously her credentials speak for themselves-…read morebut where Velina truly excels is as a very insightful, honest communicator and mediator. She also has a network of amazing folks around her who truly excel in their own right. She successfully combines textbook psychology with a plethora of holistic and spiritual resources, using innovative solutions (which have all proven successful for us.) It's rather easy for folks to get their feelings hurt in marriage counseling, but Velina speaks with such tact, insight and consideration. She doesn't play favorites and any criticism is purely constructive with positive big-picture intent. Velina is also a skilled masseuse, a genuinely wonderful human being and she truly looks for the best in everyone. Whether it's stress, PTSD, marriage counseling, life coaching, couples massage, etc. Velina is essentially a one-stop shop for your physical and spiritual well being. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

When I first met Justin, I was at a point in my life where nothing felt aligned. I had recently…read morebeen laid off and was uncertain about the next step in my career. At the same time, I was trying to recover from the end of a deeply intense, codependent relationship. Although I was doing everything I could to move forward, I felt stuck. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to make meaningful progress, and I often felt negative and hopeless about the future. A big part of what was holding me back was my mindset. I struggled with a scarcity mindset and a tendency to catastrophize. I spent so much time in my head, worrying about the future and replaying the past, that I rarely felt present. Working with Justin helped me shift that. Over time, I learned how to ground myself in the present moment instead of getting swept away by fear and overthinking. I developed a much greater sense of peace, perspective, and appreciation for my life, even while things were still uncertain. Justin is incredibly attentive, compassionate, and thoughtful. He created a space where I felt genuinely heard and supported while also helping me challenge the thought patterns that were keeping me stuck. Looking back, I can honestly say our work together helped me navigate one of the most difficult periods of my life with far more resilience and hope than I would have had on my own. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work with him.

Justin has been a wonderful guide for me in my life journey for the past couple years. I initially…read morereached out to Choose Heart while in the midst of complete uncertainty and anxiety about my lite, in pretty much every way. Over these years, I have gained so much confidence and have learned to trust myself and my intuition more than ever before. I am so very grateful for the diligent effort from Justin to help me confidently take control of my life's path.

Abigail helped me out a little over a decade ago when I was at my lowest. She led me towards…read moregreater happiness, and helped mitigate one of my most traumatizing conditions. I leveraged her support again about 4 years ago while I was in a different set of struggles, and it brought me to a brighter place. Now I am in a position of needing to make some incredibly positive changes, and there's no one I would trust more to help me achieve what she has helped me understand is possible. She teaches lessons of caring for myself in ways that really resonate. When I think of typical support for mental health, it's so sterile and disconnected. But with Abigail, I feel like I'm more in tune with the world instead of alone in my own head. I see myself as part of a greater whole, and feel inspired to connect with both myself and my loved ones in meaningful ways. She doesn't hide her humanity to help those under her care, but lets it shine forth and inspire. I highly recommend those in need of guidance and support to connect with Abigail.

Abigail is amazing on all fronts. I started seeing her a year ago for insomnia. I intended to have…read morea few sessions, but ended up seeing her for a year! Her presence is both loving and strong. She has so much wisdom and care to share with her clients, and the world. I highly recommend working with her. It's worth every penny.

Helene has been my therapist twice, thirty-one years apart, because in the intervening years, I…read morenever found another practitioner who was more deeply skilled and intuitive. It shouldn't have surprised me, but she remembered key details about our work together, more than three decades ago! To me, this indicates not just a keen memory, but an abiding care for her clients. In our most recent work, I have especially appreciated her directness, her warmth and humor, and most of all her questions--Helene asks the smartest, most intuitive questions of any therapist I've had in my 62 years, which has led to deep and valuable personal insights and growth.

Helene is always invested in my life and healing journey. The last few years had a lot of ups and…read moredowns and I'm really grateful to have her and the space she holds to process and learn from these life challenges. She's not the type of therapist that will just listen to you and nod for the whole session (unless that's what you need in that particular session), she's actively engaged in the conversation and everything that I share. She's also very intuitive and usually spot on with her observations. I'd highly recommend working with her, and so grateful to have found her 3 years ago.

Shannon is a wise and sensitive soul…read more My doctor referred me to Shannon to help me better handle life with a chronic medical condition. From our first session, Shannon approached me with kindness and genuine curiosity. During our time together, she guided me into the inner reaches of my body and mind with patience, openness, and compassion. I had never tried hypnotherapy before my sessions with Shannon. In fact, I went in as a skeptic, but I found Shannon's approach to be powerful and grounded in deep truths. More insights were revealed to me in my couple of months with Shannon than I'd uncovered in the combined years of talk therapy that I've done in the past. Forget what you think you know about hypnotherapy, and take the leap. With Shannon, you're in good hands.

I initially went to Shannon with the intention of working through the physical, mental, and…read moreemotional challenges that come with Long Covid and chronic fatigue. This was my first time doing hypnotherapy so I was a bit nervous to start, but Shannon did a great job explaining to me the process of hypnotherapy and listened intently to what I wanted to work on. After doing a series of sessions with her, I have noticed myself feeling less weighed down by the feelings of sadness and frustration that were so constant for me, and instead moving towards happiness and living the life I want to live. I feel happier day-to-day and more resilient on my hard days. Ultimately, working with Shannon has changed my perspective on life and allowed me to connect with parts of myself I was not even aware of. Shannon is the real deal!

From the owner: It was a hard road. Growing up in a household with my mother's addiction, I understand intimately…read morehow difficult life can be - both as the family member watching someone you love struggle, and as someone who has walked that path themselves. Yet from that challenging beginning, I became a physicist with a doctorate and tech entrepreneur. This journey taught me that transformation is possible - it's not impossible to become exactly who you want to be, no matter where you start. I bring this lived resilience alongside scientific rigor and deep compassion to transformation work. My entrepreneurial journey further strengthened this foundation, proving that we can rebuild ourselves completely. I've completed a 6 month rigorous certification at Being True To You Coaching and have been acting as an executive coach for years. I'm kind yet assertive, very direct - because real transformation requires both compassion and courage to face the truth.
