“Ana is exactly the type of mental health coach I needed in my life when I realized I needed coaching at all over a year ago. I chose her out of a sea of coaches for the open minded, non-prescriptive and connection-based philosophy with which she practices guiding others. It almost felt like picking a friend who I knew I could connect with rather than a stranger or someone who would talk down to me, which has happened in the past.

Turns out, I was right after all. She has been patient with me getting to know myself via these conversations with her, and now we have gotten to know each other very well to the point where she can challenge my thoughts too and I appreciate it. Her genius is in asking the right questions to make me dig a little deeper or see another perspective, or to extract the truth of what I’m saying before I realize that’s what I even mean.

She’s helped me to navigate everything from challenging family relationships to love relationships, and most importantly, my relationship with myself. With her, I train how to love myself and others deeper. A huge achievement with her was clarifying my unhappiness in my previous work and leaving it to pursue my dream career.

I’m glad that I chose to continue working with her into the present day. Even during the times that I am doing well and might think “I don’t have anything to share,” she’s even able to find deeper hidden insights, keep me on track with my goals, and help me learn more about myself. The journey of self-growth is one that I’ve committed myself to, and Ana is an integral piece of that journey. I’m super grateful for her and can only speak highly of her.”

“Oh boy, where do I even begin? When I started working with Ana as my mental therapist and coach in March, I felt completely stuck and couldn't see a path forward. Ana took it upon herself to guide me through unlocking my traumas, fears, and hidden pains. She helped me become cognitively attentive to my feelings and thoughts and find healthy ways to address the patterns and traits that were keeping me stuck.

Ana is a very sweet and kind person. Her genuine smile and warm attitude during our calls have made me feel emotionally safe, allowing me to unleash my inner wounds and feel vulnerable in a secure environment.

One of the most impactful things Ana taught me is how to avoid falling into a victim mentality. Her insightful questions during our sessions constantly remind me to learn from every situation without blaming others, to understand what I need to learn, and to grow from every experience.

Because of her, I started painting again, which has been a pivotal part of my healing journey. Through painting, I began to understand how I feel and how I can plan a future for myself. Ana also helped me set boundaries with the people around me and showed me how to lead with empathy and unconditional love, without judgment towards others or myself.

The support, guidance, and love I've received from Ana have transformed my life in ways I never imagined. Thanks to her, I've rediscovered my inner strength, reconnected with my inner child, and found a renewed sense of purpose.”

“Ana has grace, tact, and a beautiful attention and love for her process of getting you to see yourself clearly. It is raw and to be honest, quite messy feeling, but if you allow yourself to talk freely things start to shift. I feel a little more relaxed every session I have with Ana - she is easy to talk to and offers insights you can relate to. There is an honesty that comes to the surface if you let it and Ana knows how to help create that intentional space with you. How often do we get to dialogue with someone highly trained about our own life?

Ana helped me try on new perspectives, get comfortable keeping promises to myself and find ways to invite more mental clarity in. I feel like I’m slowly getting back in touch with my heart and spirit. It still feels far off to feel in my stride again, but at least now I’m doing the work, and with Ana’s help, know what activation feels like again and how much good can come from simply applying myself. Mahalo nui Ana!!”

“Ana was fantastic. I have had several sessions like these over the years and I believe Ana brought the biggest impact in assessing, understanding and evaluating me. The tools she shared and integrating them into everyday situations was extremely helpful. Plus her Narrator, Director, Protagonist approach was very insightful into the phases of what makes me tick.  All the more impressive given the short time we were together.

Again, Ana's breadth on the topics, related materials and understanding who I am, was impressive. I can’t say enough other than I wish I had more time to finish the work needed— with her.”

“I recently came to Ana at a time in my life when I was feeling called to make a shift in my career, identity, and how I spend my time.

After a few sessions , I experienced an epiphany about a new goal and destination aligned with what gives me the most purpose. Experiencing “The Mystic'' program with Ana has been integral in visualizing and setting the roadmap for me to reach that goal.

Being in session with Ana allowed me to explore deeply entrenched vulnerabilities & uncover where my dreams and reality can meet. I would absolutely sign up for time with her again!”

— R.W.G.

“This program has been life changing for me. Ana could never have done a better job in any way. She was receptive to what I had to say and was able to frame her words in a way that I understood. She was able to change the way that I viewed therapy as a whole, and was able to help me identify and understand the thinking traps that I was falling into and how to pull myself out of those traps. She truly could not have been any more helpful and personable. I could not give her any less then a 10/10, she fully exceeded the progress I was expecting to make through my coaching.”

— R.M.

“Ana was lovely to work with. She helped me feel empowered and accepted. I really appreciated the way that she coached in both asking questions but also being willing to share. I believe she helped me think through some tough questions and build some more skills to help me in the future. I very much appreciated her “high flame” coaching. Thank you Ana. Your time and thoughts have been very much appreciated.”

“To say our conversations have been positively impactful is an understatement on par with saying the sun is “very warm, perhaps even hot.” You have helped me unlock pain and mental barriers that I didn’t know existed, and healing passages to navigate them. While I know there is a long way to go, I am a better person than I was before I met you.”

— R.F.

“Ana is an incredible coach! She helped guide me through all of the emotions I was feeling in a dark time of my life, and I was able to come out the other side a better person. She helped me zoom out and look at things from a different perspective, which allowed me to see why I was feeling the way I was feeling and helped me figure out how to embrace those feelings instead of trying to shut them down. I would absolutely recommend coaching based solely on my experience with Ana!”

— Z.N.

“Ana is wonderful! I felt comfortable with her from session 1 and was able to share everything I needed to, and received very valuable feedback from her which I executed on. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

— C.S.

“Ana is exceptional at what she does and was able to support me in getting to such a healthier place. The responses she had for me were always spot on and I always felt lighter and more confident after our sessions together.”

— D.M.

“Ana Gak was the most incredible coach. So thoughtful and truly listened and heard me. She provided actionable tools that I can use in my day to day. I’m 100000% better equipped in my life. Every session was better than the last.”

— P.P.

“The way you put things out there helped me see things in a completely different way. I’ve been to sessions before and they have been helpful but you have been really helpful with allowing me to get to know myself and make decisions better than ever before.”

— S.B.

“My coach, Ana, was fantastic! She created a terrific environment for me to feel comfortable voicing my concerns. She also brings a unique perspective that helps me get out of my own head and understand how to approach situations from a different lense. I will definitely be back!”

— M.D.

“My expectations of what these sessions would mean for me– looking at the gravity of all the changes that have happened within 6 months.. I can’t underestimate how important these pushes have been for me. Something I think other people take for granted, having another voice to help you find your voice. You can brag and say “Hey, I changed someone’s life in 6 months.”

— D.T.

“The sessions have been really helpful, the second time that I got back on track. Really helped me to understand what is going on with me. When you shake a tree and all the leaves fall is what I got from these sessions. All the trees with brown leaves, most are ready to fall, but its not until the wind comes that they fall. I had a lot of burdens and extra weight I didn’t need and through these sessions it helped everything fall away. Now waiting for the new season for new leaves. Thank you for your resources and guidance and support— it has made a really big difference in who I am now and who I want to be.”
