  • “Dr. Kay is the REAL DEAL. I have worked with countless coaches, therapists, psychologists, and even a shaman. NO ONE could cut back the weeds and get to the core as Dr. Kay did. She is like a psychological detective! Working with Dr. Kay is like having the curtain pulled back on a whole new way of viewing your life. Thought you were too old for AWE? Think again! My life is forever changed, and I would never go back.”

  • “Her intelligent and empathic approach to understanding and analyzing personal problems and working with me to find sound and lasting solutions is nothing short of amazing.  She has given me one of the greatest gifts imaginable: an empathic and caring understanding of myself.”

  • “Dr. Kay is the best- neutral confidant who helps you steer life in a prosperous direction. Her approach is the perfect balance between soft, loving and gentle -yet- firm, honest and impactful. She is truly charismatic to the core.”

  • "Dr. Kay has helped me see and better understand the real me. She has seen me through so many challenges and life transitions. I always return knowing she sees and values me, just as I am. She has helped me grow and find my power.”

  • “Dr. Kay's therapeutic excavation uncovered much-needed information necessary to understand, empathize, and then make a conscious change in my life. I have learned an incredible amount while working with her for the last few years. I appreciate her warmth, sharp intellect, humor, and ability to get to the root of any issue with compassion and zero judgment.”

  • “Your energy combined with the unique tools you teach are things I haven’t been able to find anywhere else! I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.”
