Testimonials over the years...

"I sought Adriene's sessions after attending a Spiritual Seekers [Spiritual Development Circle] meeting.  Her warmth and empathic insight was obvious from the get-go.  I immediately knew that I would feel comfortable sharing, so I contacted her afterwards.  Through our sessions I was able to seek and find Truth, as well as a much deeper understanding of myself and what I needed in my life.  She also helped me understand my nature, recognize my underlying gifts, and gave me tools to help continue the personal growth on my own.  She is a kind, beautiful, and amazing woman who has found a way to help people in an area that most would find daunting... discovering self and the Divine.  Adriene and her work are a gift."  - Sarah G 

" My experience with Adriene was extremely helpful during a challenging time in my life. Adriene is empathetic with the ability to listen keenly, and therefore gently poise intuitive, effective, and challenging questions that helped me consider other angles and perspectives on various life issues. Her genuine character and professional nature helped me quickly for a trusting relationship with her, which in turn allowed me to receive and consider the wisdom she had to share freely. The fact that she was also open to a spiritual conversation was a combination that I valued highly and a skill that she has also developed beautifully. Her willingness to conduct our sessions online was also very helpful to me due to the distance between us. I highly recommend her services to anyone interested." - Sharon. C.

"If not for the peace blooming in a loved one, I might never have consulted Adriene. I'd had some unpleasant experiences with mental health professionals in the past that caused me to eschew any sort of services, and due to emotional trauma from my religious upbringing, I was wary of anyone offering spiritual guidance of any kind. Yet, the peace I saw in my loved one was unquestionable. I went to my first session with Adriene with an open mind and became a regular that day. Through guided meditations, sessions centered around those meditations, and homework I which was always in insightful and help me focused on what i needed to work through), Adriene helped set me on a path to healing and living my truth. Like my loved one, I'm a calmer, more peaceful person, and the lessons I learned through Adriene continue to guide me and my healing process. Thanks, Adriene!"  D.M.

 "Adriene is extremely accomplished. Her guided visualizations opened up wonderful pathways to joy and helped with closure of past experiences. I have felt so much lighter and happier."  -JAC

"It was through a Penn State program more than a decade ago that I first started working with Adriene and I can say without hesitation that her wisdom and guidance and the tools that she has given me have helped bring about a significant positive transformation in my life. When we first started working together, I knew that I was stressed and unhappy and wanted to change my life but didn't know exactly how.  Adriene's guidance has not only helped me to figure out where I want to be, but has also given me the courage and wisdom to head out and keep moving on that path. She's helped me to identify old patterns and come up with ways to avoid falling back into them. Through Adriene I've come to fully understand the importance of not only finding, but also honoring and strengthening and protecting my true Self and she has provided me with many vital tools to accomplish each aspect. Although we've been working together a long time, I continue to learn each session."  -Robin B.

"Since meeting Adriene, it is clear to me that incorporating spirituality is essential to my healing. She has been able to help me recognize and understand why I might be experiencing certain patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviors, as well as helped me to access the parts of myself that need healing. With Adriene's help I am developing the tools that are helping me to heal, to be at peace, and to be my best self. I couldn't have come this far without her and I am so very grateful!"  -AK 

"Adriene helped me work through a really dark time in my life after losing a dear friend. I have become more spiritual and in tune with how important love and positive intentions are in my daily life. Her insights to my thought processes were always spot on." - Sarah

"I was going through a hard time in my life emotionally and spiritually. My sister recommended that I set up an appointment with Adriene and I did. I was blown away with the results. Adriene was able to really put me on the path to healing."  -JN

Sacred Armor: Spiritual Energetic Protection

"As an empathic person pursuing a career in the medical field, I have always struggled to balance my calling to help and care for others with the often draining emotional burden that goes along with this career path. Coming face to face with suffering, sickness, hardship, and even death, on a daily basis really began to chip away at my emotional strength and well-being. Most days, I would come home feeling so numb, so emotionally and physically depleted, that I could barely bring myself to interact with family or do anything else besides sleep. I didn't think that there was any way to stop feeling like this, until taking Adriene's class. Through the self reflection and tangible skills offered through this workshop, I have learned how to manage the way that other people's energy and emotions affect me, instead of just passively absorbing them and letting them define how I feel. Now, even after consoling a crying family or caring for someone who is suffering, I can walk out of the room with a clear head, and focus of helping others without harming myself." - AH, medical student

"I started seeing Adriene when I was a senior in high school. I went to her energy class just to learn and she provided me with so many useful tools and tricks to make it through the day without feeling drained. Her intuition, knowledge, and spirituality gives her this ability to share in your experiences and have so much compassion for your situation." -Katherine C.

"Adriene taught me some effective techniques to slow down my light speed thinking and all the noise in my brain so that my soul could regain its rightful control over my life." ~Michele

"My first encounter with Adriene was through a Penn State HRDC course - Discover the Relaxation Within. At that time, I didn't have a firm grasp on the amount of stress I had in my life and how it was impacting my physical, mental and spiritual self. Since then, through meditation, Adriene has helped me find my center and clarify my being. I can't describe in words the feeling of well-being that envelopes me during and after our meetings. I hope to continue my connection with Adriene, not only in the present, but well into the future . . . no matter our physical location."  - Shelly

"When I started this class (Daily Steps to Mindfulness- Health Matters PSU), I felt like a mess, like I had no control over my life. I was struggling with the aftereffects of Lyme Disease and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and needed to find a way to cope. The class reinforced some principles I was already familiar with from practicing yoga, taught me new principles, and provided a space where I could explore mindfulness without feeling judged. Everyone in the class was open-minded and just inherently kind; I felt comfortable, which is not something I can say about a lot of group settings. I loved this class and the people in it, and plan to continue participating as long as I can; it has made such a difference for my stress, spirituality, and sense of community. Would recommend forever." - Jen K.
