I think any time people see “rave reviews” on a web site like this, the question arises, “how do I know they’re real?”
Bottom line is, you don’t. Since this work is therapeutic and often deals with deeply personal issues, I don’t supply e-mail addresses or phone numbers for my former clients. That said, I can tell you that I collected them from –
– emails sent during the course of the work and in response to my later follow-ups
– voice mails (transcribed) left in response to my follow-ups on the work
– online reviews posted at sites like Google, Yelp, etc.
Some of the quotes came spontaneously. Others I’ve asked for at the end of the work when clients have said they’re very happy with what they’ve achieved. Some clients requested their names be changed for privacy, but the actual content is word-for-word accurate. To the best of my knowledge, every quote on the site and on the review sites around the web is true. The only distinction I’d make is in several quotes where clients have given me the credit – it’s always the client who deserves the credit. Basically I’m a guide. I’ve helped them do the work, but the clients are the ones who did the work to achieve the results.
And yes, I do get emails from clients who haven’t been successful (fortunately there are a lot fewer of those). While I don’t use them on the site, I’m happy to talk about them if you ask.
