"Julia is a fabulously sensitive, perceptive, empowering, and inspiring coach. Julia knows when to listen, when to intervene and holds an incredible space in which I conquer fears, learn, and grow. Looking back after just three months of work, I feel this part of me that was aching to become expressed, develop and reveal itself to be a true part of me. Julia’s sessions have always been right to the point and to a place near the core, as the layers of protection fall away with my newfound sense of strength and wholeness. She inspires me to continue to find ways to develop all aspects of myself."

"Life coaching helped me to restore my confidence and to see things more clearly in some nebulous times. It was a fun and revealing process of self-discovery…I always felt I was moving forward, and not in circles like I used to feel during psychotherapy. It was the moment of the week that I had for myself to figure things out. I was impressed with how Julia helped change my state of mind. I would start our session anxious, confused, and preoccupied with all the things that I couldn’t accomplish and I would end the session relaxed, confident in myself, and with a plan on how to accomplish what I really wanted. The process involved identifying my saboteur and defeating it. Living life without a saboteur is a life worth living!"

"Julia Lau de Guzman has been a great ally for me, both in my music career, as well as my personal life. Her skillful listening is worth its weight in gold, when it comes to strategizing career goals or planning a difficult conversation with a loved one. She brings both natural talent to interpersonal work, as well as a depth of training and experience. If you need the help of a life coach to take your life to the next level, I would recommend her without reservation."

"This experience helped me practice to let go of cynicism and self-limiting beliefs. I was asked to answer difficult questions honestly within an environment that was compassionate and supportive and above all -- affirming. I have a clearer sense of my own nature and how I project that into the world. And I have gathered new tools for how to align myself day-to-day with my values, my power and my purpose."

"The Wake Up Your Life Purpose workshop was an extremely worthwhile event in which to participate. The chalk-full, 22-hour session was well organized and designed to coax your inner self to speak to the question of what is your life purpose. The circle of participants that this event attracts comes from a diverse background, but the like-mindedness of the group made for a powerful experience. Again, special thanks to Julia and Mara for a great workshop."

~ N.D., Application Developer – San Leandro, CA

"At first I was skeptical that I would be able to discover anything about my life purpose in 22 hours; however, I was blown away by the internal shift that Mara and Julia coaxed in me and the creative and safe space they provided. I felt very held and encouraged through the ups and downs of the process and as a result, I was able to open myself up to a new level and walk away with a clearer understanding of why I am on this planet as well as concrete action steps to live my purpose in this world. And, as a bonus, I met a community of other like-minded people with whom I know I will keep in touch!"
