From the Ones who work with me...
"I reached out to you when I lost a loved one to suicide. Drowning in pain, confusion, and hopelessness, I was searching for answers and conclusions as to "why." The sounds of others, specially textbook therapy, was making me feel worse. I was hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel.
Now: Everything is different; my life, body, mind, relationships, and overall way of life. I don't know how to credit you in words for the transitional space, attention, and time you always provided me with. Without you, I don't think I would have ever understood that life is happening for me, not to me. Without you, I don't believe I would love myself nearly as much and would be living with much more fear and conditional love. Without you, I don't think anything in my life would look like the way it does. You were the rainbow to my rain, the water to my thirst, and the light to my darkness. and now, I feel I am my own rainbow to my rain, my own water to my thirst, and my own light to my darkness — but all because of you. You birthed me spiritually, with unconditional love and grace. You help me discover Chelsey Grace.
Wow. I guess I would say if you want to take life into your own hands and become the caption of your soul, this is THE girl. well actually, just a few days ago I shared your contact with a really lovely friend and said, "if you like the way I live my life, this is the person who helped me get there."

"When I reached out to you, I was just at a point in my life where I was feeling like lots had been happening for a long time - career decisions, self-beliefs, relationship dynamics, and just the way I was moving through my life - and I felt slightly lost in a way that I couldn't really put into words or understand why. I think, in retrospect, it was a mix of others' opinions convoluting my own, and life moving so quickly that it's difficult to not be on autopilot in ways. That to say, I wasn't fully being intentional about the way I was navigating my life and the "why" behind my decisions.
Hayley helped me to ask a lot of important questions. Ones that were difficult to be asked in the moment, because they got to the root of my beliefs and where they came from (such as why I want to do what I want to do with my life, or about certain self-beliefs, for example), and she helped me through a lot of uncomfortable navigations like this. She has helped me to look inward and listen to my intuition, and what this feels like. As a result of working with Hayley, I feel more in tune with myself. I'm so grateful for what she's brought to me this far.
Hayley is unlike any therapist I've worked with before, and I do think it's because of who she is, and also the holistic approach she takes. […] Working with Hayley is for people who want to see themselves more clearly and honestly, and move forward in their lives in the way that is truer to them. She is someone I would recommend to anyone who is looking to be on that journey."

"Shortly after Charlie passed, feeling very heavy, sad and confused. Very unaligned & I thought I needed to change how my life looked. I was seeking inner alignment, clarity, guidance to understand the murkiness and get through the heavinesss that was encompassing me. I continued reaching out over the year due to uncertainty, I needed to understand what was going to happen because I felt unclear and untrusting. I could feel the desire to come int myself but the path to do that felt very unclear. Seeking to merge the internal and external worlds without knowing how to do it.
Now, with your work and guidance, I have forged such an unbreakable bond with my intuition and with trusting myself, my Boyd, my internal compass. The work hasn't gone away, it has just shifted. Early on I really desired a mirror externally to understand the things I couldn't put words to, to give guidance & wisdom — which is what you were for me. As we worked together and as you helped me forge that relationship between myself and my intuition, the reliance on myself has grown immensely & I am feeling less called to seek externally and more called to seek internally. I am able to ask questions directly to myself, the Divine, the Goddess — directly through my heart.
I describe you as spiritual guide, mentor, friend, wisdom keeper, truth seeker - someone who is able to mirror the truth that we have within ourselves and act as a mirror and a guide to come back to ourselves and learn to trust our inner compass and forge that relationship with the Divine within. Although you are a not a therapist, you do encompass that and many more modalities/roles into one person because you see and share the wisdom to work through it, understand it and move past it vs ruminating on it which is what I value a lot. You are a channel of the divine that can give insight on things that we are seeking clarity on and on things that we don't know we are seeking clarity on but there is something urging us to want and understand more of. You've helped clarify my life path and purpose. But more than anything, you've helped me forget this unbreakable bond that I already had within me and it will carry me through the rest of my life."

"I was going through a pretty significant shift as E. was in college and reached so many milestones. It felt like she was growing into adulthood and naturally moving further away from me, both emotionally and physically. It was a big transition for both of us. It wasn't a loss, but it felt like one at times. It was a delicate time that pushed me to start thinking about what I wanted for myself, things I hadn't really given myself permission to explore before. Looking back, it was a difficult but important period of growth.
Since then, I've taken some chances and found a community and hobbies that feel right. I've leaned into things that align with who I am and have found ways to become more involved in my interests. […] I've also gained confidence in pursuing the things I'm curious about and want to learn more about-I'm still working on that! I think most importantly, I've moved through the sadness that came with E's growing independence and have learned to trust in the process and celebrate the beautiful person she is becoming. One of the biggest shifts is that I've come to believe almost everything has a positive side. It's not that difficult things disappear, it's that I've learned (with your help) to look for the possibility instead of the doom and gloom.
I honestly couldn't say enough good things. Working with you has been transformational for me. You've helped me understand myself more deeply which as strengthened my relationships and given me much more clarity about the path ahead and the goals I want to pursue. You have a wonderful combination of being straightforward, sensitive, supportive, and incredibly insightful. You have a way of thinking outside the box that somehow makes perfect sense, and you consistently help me see possibilities and hope where I might not have seen them before. I'm deeply grateful for your guidance and for the way you've helped me grow."

"How I feel when I think of working with Hayley: Wisdom and sunshine. Her energy is bright and light. In talking to Hayley, I reach places beyond where I am stuck.
How I feel after speaking to Hayley: My heart is at ease. I feel like I was listened to & given a different perspective that quells the state of confusion or chaos [that made me call her]. She helps me find the words that my hearts wants say."

"When I reached out to Hayley, I was going through the biggest transition period in my life. Everything was changing - my responsibilities, my expectations of myself, my family. My version of reality was not something I recognized, and the transition felt hard and painful. After graduating college, and traveling for a year filled with self discovery and excitement, a returned home to a version of "home" that no longer felt the same. It felt like my world was upside down.
Now, I feel like I have the strength to work through emotions and events that I didn't have previously. I feel like I have tools I didn't have before- something as simple and natural as breathing, to help guide myself through painful situations and feelings.
Working with Hayley is like a breath of fresh air. She provides a level of safety and comfort that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. She is so unbelievably present - which really makes me feel heard and respected and like I'm not alone in what I'm going through. She provides perspectives and ideas and tactics that are new and curated exactly for me and my situation. She focuses a lot on helping you holistically - creating a space where your mind can exist in peace and love and be spread throughout all situations and relationships in your life."

"When I first reached out to you, I think it was like right after Charlie passed away and then I didn't speak to you again until my senior year that's when I consistently started speaking to you. I feel like I truly met you at like a very pivotal point in my life where I was shifting to gain knowledge and information about myself, and I feel like you were a great guide on that journey and I appreciate you so much for helping me see things differently for encouraging me for showing me what it looks like to approach life from a healthier and like more grounded [place].
I think it's really a journey that you decide to take when reaching out to Hayley because it's not therapy. It's not like traditional therapy where you're showing up you're venting and you're leaving and it's not CBT and it's not talk therapy because it's like real work and active and it's very applicable. And it's something that applies to your everyday life in a tangible way, but requires work and the way you deliver things in such a kind and compassionate way. Through the process you come to know yourself in a way that's completely different from anything I'd ever experienced before. And it's a very personal approach. It's very tailored. Hayley doesn't take credit for this, she says that I did all the work! But she is the best guide."

"When first reaching out to you, my life was a mess. I didnt know who I was, how to think, what I wanted with my life, and how to get over a death of a boyfriend that was manipulative and mentally/physically abusive. It was a toxic love that I got wrapped up into and didnt know how to get out of. Not only was I in a rough spot within myself but the loss was the hardest thing I ever had to go through.
Now I live life to the fullest for myself. know how to think better and think through situations better. I see life differently in all aspects. I know how to control my own emotions and decipher the good and the bad and think through what the other end looks like. I no longer do things because I think other people want me to be a certain way and instead do things that will best suite myself and the life I aspire to have. I am happy, healthy, and at peace.
I would recommend EVERYONE to work with you. I would tell them that you see right through the bullshit and give them the honest truth even if it's something that doesnt want to be heard. You are patient and kind and only want the best for each person you work with. You come from a place of love and understanding. Unlike working with a therapist, you give your thoughts and advice. Every single session I had with you left me leaving lighter and giving me things to think about and work on."
