Listen To What People Have to Say
"Josie is a perfect combination of a therapist/coach I have ever experienced. she is not just practical in her suggestions for improvement but she is also intuitive which makes for a well balanced experience. While adding incredible insight on your current situation she also knows how to parallel your current experiences to your past and childhood trauma in a way that makes you look at life differently. I would rebook with her every time."

"Josie really changed my life. What I love about this therapy is that it's very RESULT BASED. There are goals and tangible growth. In other therapies I found I would talk about things endlessly. But with Josie we dive down into the source of issues, traumas, and patterns; see where they are coming from and through awareness and mediation ACTUALLY CHANGE these patterns in your life. This is the most holistic therapy I've ever had. Also Josie is a very intuitive person. Her advice and guidance comes from such a truthful and unbiased place, that is has been life changing trusting in her. We lean into trauma and come out so much calmer and wiser. It seemed unbelievable until I experienced it. More than anything she has really taught me what my emotions are. How to identify them, how to feel them, and how to create a language with them. I am so much more balanced in my life and have such a healthy relationship with my emotions now. Josie has given me the tools and wisdom to take care of myself. I recommend her to anyone who is really willing to look at themselves, anyone who believes in change and willing to fight for it."

"Josie is the most effective therapist I've ever had. She is intuitive, compassionate, and down to earth. She tells it how it is while simultaneously interpreting deep seated emotions and dreams. Josie has emotionally helped me through major milestones, grief, and self discovery. I will continue my healing journey with her because I am begining to understand my entire self from a holistic approach."

"I've been seeing Josie sporadically for over a year. I had been in psychoanalysis for many years before meeting her and in search of therapeutic work that would get me out of my head an into my body. Josie did just that. Josie introduced me to new techniques, exercises, and entryways into elements of my somatic knowing that I had never been able to touch before. The sessions are long, but necessarily so. There is space and time to truly explore the root of the pain or the pattern in your life that dogs you. Josie is unconventional, playful, funny, generous, and immensely intuitive. She has helped me reshape some of my most painful relationships. She has showed me new ways of perceiving my life. She is a comfort and a guide to me. I highly recommend Josie if you are looking for someone to help you connect more to your internal knowing."

"I have been doing sessions with Josie for 3 years. She is the most empathic, understanding person I know. Whenever I speak to her I know I will be heard and she will help my needs be met. She has helped me make so many improvements in my mental health and how I go through life, and I could not imagine having a different therapist. I've referred friends and family members and every single one of them have left their sessions feeling satisfied and heard."

"I put off finding a personal therapist for years! I was the person who felt I could solve my challenges through prayer, talking to my best friends, journaling, etc. I thought "my problems aren't that bad" (in comparison to what I would hear others talk about) and I should be able to figure them out on my own. It wasn't until a friend told me based on a conversation we had that I sounded depressed. She had already told me I should see someone just because it was healthy but there was an urge a bit deeper in her voice this time. Then one of my best friends said, sometimes you don't even realize how bad it is until you wake up in a full blown panic attack (which happened to her). It still took me some time and one day I was talking to my girl who I often refer to as "my other daughter" telling me how amazing things had been and how her life was opening up and she was having these self realizations and really working through her life traumas. I was shocked to hear because she was normally so closed off. She proceeded to tell me about her amazing experience with an emotional coach. She told me she made her feel comfortable and heard, could tell her things that opened her eyes to life situations and behaviors, gave her tools and guidance, most importantly she raved at how she absolutely loved her. It took me hearing about this journey a couple more times before I finally asked her if she would be okay with me reaching out to this emotional coach. I was scared, apprehensive and nervous. One of the things I was so scared of, was not having a connection with the person I was going to give information about myself to and having to do it all over again with someone else if it didn't work out. I set my first appointment with Josie and when the day came I was so afraid. I didn't know what she was going to ask me and whether I was even going to like her. She got on the phone and instantly she made me feel at ease. All my apprehension, scarcity and preconceived notions I had put in my head went out the window. There was a genuineness and calm about Josie that made me feel safe, heard (even before I opened my mouth) and cared for. I felt instantly that whatever was going to come out of my mouth was going to be what I needed to say without even saying it. She allows me to be me, ask questions, she holds me accountable and keeps it real with grace and love. She has opened my eyes to so many truths about myself that I was unaware of. She challenges me to look inward and "holds my hand" while guiding me to find the answers within. She allows me to leave her messages when I am triggered and never leaves the information void, but addresses it all in our sessions. Josie has given me tools to deal with life situations and past traumas I never knew I had. Tools that have allowed me to be kind to myself while conquering fears about my own vulnerability and learning truths that I would've never been exposed to that are opening doors within myself and manifesting externally. I can't fully articulate in words how thankful I am to have her by my side, leading and guiding me on life's paths. Josie is the truth, and with her as my emotional coach, my life is forever impacted for the better! My journey of growth and healing has just begun but if you want an emotional coach that will provide you invaluable insight and emotional wisdom to help navigate your journey of growth and healing, Josie is a great start!"

"I don't have enough worlds to truly thank you for everything that you have done for me. You have and continue to walk me through all my past trauma's and address the problem at it's root. Josie, makes you feel seen, heard and loved. It's truly a magical experience. I am so excited to continue to work with her. Forever connected"

"Josie is such a complete and absolute blessing! With one session, my whole spirit feels like it is vibrating on a whole different level. I can feel it! It's like I'm not even walking on this plane. I feel a sense of wholeness that I have never experienced in my life time. The peace and safety I feel is beyond measure. Being vulnerable to healing is scary but the feeling of actually starting to heal is worth it. You are a true gift from God Josie! Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!"
-January 24, 2023 | Carey O. (via YELP Review)
"Josie has been a HUGE impact in my healing process. I felt I was so lost and needed help to change my mindset ( p.s asking for help is not my strong suit) however, I know what I want! I want to be better for myself and for those closest to me! It is soo important for me to break those generational habits and hurt that sadly gets passed down. unfortunately, we don't realize it's effects until it shows up in our relationships, friendships, ect... Josie is so knowledgeable, sweet, patient, and genuinely caring!!! She has helped me get to the ROOT of some of my childhood traumas to become more aware of my coping mechanisms, now I am able to change old habits. This is only the beginning of my healing journey!! I feel like a different person!!"
-January 16, 2023 | Elissa A. (via YELP Review)
"My entire experience with Josie was nothing short of amazing. Josie has a way of making you feel so seen and understood in your most vulnerable moments. I unpacked trauma I didn't even know I had. I never felt rushed or dismissed with Josie. She was patient, empathic, and gifted with emotional wisdom. I unlearned, unpacked, healed and relearned. If you're ready to put in the work, contact her TODAY. I can't wait to continue working with her !! THANK YOU JOSIE !!"
-August 26, 2022 | Jaelyn C. (via YELP Review)
"I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with Josie. She has changed my life in such a positive way and has helped me heal traumas I never knew I had. I had never done inner child work or shadow work before, and it has truly changed my life. Josie makes me feel so safe to open up to her and so cared for. She is a beautiful soul and is living her purpose. Working with her has been such an eye opening experience and I have grown so much in my understanding of myself and why I am the way I am. I highly recommend working with Josie, she is incredible at what she does and will make such a positive impact on your life!"
-May 15, 2022 | Sarah L. (via YELP Review)
"Let me start by saying that Josie is my 3rd therapist! Once I met her I knew I had found my one! Just in our initial phone call, the consultation, I had received more breakthroughs then I had in the last two years I had worked with the other therapists. Josie is the real deal!!! If you are at all interested in changing your life for the better, Josie is it!!! Just book the initial call and see for yourself. I promise you will not be disappointed. I am so grateful for Josie and the way she's changed my life. Do yourself a favor!"
-November 7, 2021 | Jade C. (via YELP Review)
"It's been 6 months now and I have to say...my experience working with Josie has been life changing. When I began to ask myself why I kept having repeated failed relationships, I knew I needed help. WIth Josie's guidance, I was able to locate my childhood trauma I never knew existed. She sends you on a journey to self-discovery by taking you all the way back to an earlier time. Digging up the ugly past is never a pleasant experience but it is necessary if your goal is to heal and eventually lead a healthy life. I look forward to sessions with her because she always illuminates parts of me that I could not see myself. She is a blessing to my life."
-August 25, 2021 | Pamela O. (via YELP Review)
"Josie is a breath of fresh air! She helped me identify childhood trauma that was affecting me as a functioning adult. Her holistic approach, intuitive insight, empathy, and compassion while identifying areas of opportunity, makes her an Emotional Wisdom Wizard! I'm so grateful to have healed that little girl in me. I don't know what I would do had I not had a session with her. She is worth it!"

"I found Josie on a whim when I decided I need to care for my mental health after dealing with a lot of anxiety from different situations. I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for but with in the first 5 minutes of speaking with her, I knew she was exactly what I needed. I am on my 2nd round of root camp with Josie. I look forward to all of our sessions because I know she will show me something new and valuable to take away from it. She has given me the safest place I have ever know to share everything I have been through and gives you her full attention while softly provoking your thoughts by asking questions that help expand your perspective. Josie has truly helped me grow and understand myself in a way that I never thought I would. I recommend her to any one who is ready to heal from with in while discovering your authenticity that will lead you to much more fulfillment."
-July 3, 2021 | Ms. Angie C. (via YELP Review)
"I am very grateful that I found Josie at emotional wisdom. She is highly intuitive and insightful. She has gently walked me through my past traumas, stopping me along the journey to point out the places in which I needed to heal. I have grown so much in my understanding of not only myself but others. I feel I was guided to her because investing in myself was the last thing on my mind, but ended up being the single best decision I've made. I'm grateful to have found her and am writing this review in hopes that I can encourage others to take on the journey of self discovery and true self love. I read a quote from Maya Angelou that really hit home for me " The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself." I won't tell you it's a easy road it's not. What I will say is your worth it. We all deserve to be loved and at peace."

"So this was my first experience with counseling of any kind, and wow was I pleasantly surprised. Josie was super nice, and had such a warm aura about her, made my gf and I feel really comfortable. With just the free visit, I am very hopeful and positive with where this is headed. Highly would recommend Josie to everyone trying to discover a better sense of themselves."
-March 18, 2021 | Joshua E. (via YELP Review)
"i had talked to her today about my problems that i was having in life. she was a super good listener and have asked super good questions that get your mind going. i would recommend her to anyone."

"5 gajillion bajillion infinajillion stars. Josie is EXCELLENT, knows what she's doing. She tells you specifically what will happen throughout the sessions and how your perspective of everything will change. I had finally accepted that I needed expert help for a bunch of traumas, but wasn't sure how to find the right therapist/coach. I reached out to a few before coming across her site and the description was exactly what I needed; dealing specifically with childhood traumas and self-awareness. With our introduction session I was immediately comfortable and she came across as fun, so I was ready. A few sessions in and I was blown. away. by all the things I didn't know had been internalized; I've learned to integrate and now feel much more like who I really am. I recommend Josie to anyone!!!"
-July 12, 2020 | Audrey S. (via YELP Review)
"Josie is amazing! She has helped me so much so far, and I am looking forward to continue healing. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help repairing wounds, not just putting a bandaid over them."
-May 9, 2020 | Jennifer S. (via YELP Review)
"Prior to receiving help from Josie, I was looking for a counselor but did not find one that I felt comfortable with and trusted. I am beyond grateful that I am now receiving the emotional guidance that I needed, with the help of Josie. She has helped me to get to the root of things and see how my past has still been affecting me. I am learning great tools and releasing unnecessary baggage. Thank you Josie"

"Loved this video! And it’s so true what you said about how the new thought must be believable by you or else it will backfire 🙌🏾 Dr. Caroline Leaf speaks on that quite a lot and how as Christians you’re taught to say scriptures to shift/ fight off negativity, but if you don’t believe it yourself you’re actually doing more harm to your brain."

"Awesome!...I really love your videos, they are very well thought out and are eye openers! Thank you!"

"For someone who had always been skeptical about opening up about emotions, I can truly say that Josie has completely changed my views on life and how to start healing myself emotionally. She engages with you on an emotional journey within yourself and will have you understanding your issues and loving yourself more by the end of the session. One of my greatest accomplishment in working with Josie has been the sense of relief and love for myself. She is always professional yet make you feel comfortable through it all. Our sessions have always had great results and she always the type to follow up with personal take home exercises. Highly recommended!"

"Finally the announcement! I am so unbelievably proud of you! But I am not surprised; not only are you an amazing person, you’re the easiest person to talk to!! Love you and CONGRATULATIONS!"

"Josie, thank you so much for your healing class on the heart chakra! I have an amazing story to share with you. After your class I was thinking about my cousin, Jared, who has cancer and in ICU, so bought 3 healing candles that open up the heart chakra. I saw him the next day in ICU, his eyes would open slowly and he would try to move his lips when I told him "I love you". I gave the candles to his sister, mom, and girlfriend. I told them to write his name on the candle and when they light it, with their prayer they will send positive energy of love and healing into his heart chakra. Girl, two days later I woke up and something told me that my cousin was going to be better, and they were!! That day he had tears in his eyes after a moment of love and hugs. When he was asked to squeeze his eyes shut, he did! And several times he said "Hi" clearly. His head was able to move side to side, and his eye movement improved! He is healing! It's amazing and I want to send you and Dragonfairy my deepest gratitude. You have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you for your inspiration! Love and Light, Tamara Suguitan"

"Since class I have been pondering something. Most of us there have been through a lot. The saying "death by a thousand cuts" pops in my head. With that I feel it's more if a thousand opportunities to endure and grow. A thousand moments to thrive. If you survive a thousand cuts, your not a victim but a Phoenix. Born from the ashes stronger and wiser. You developed scars. Not as a bad thing but as armor for your soul. Not bitter but wiser to what is truly good and loving for us, and able to brush of bad easily."
